Secret To Success: Owning Your Job #doctor #physicianfinance #personalfinance #money

You're eight years out, you're almost done with student loans, you're building wealth rapidly. Your net worth, it's not quite a million yet, but it will be very soon. Within the next year or two, you're going to be a millionaire. And yet you were able to practice what you love, which is family medicine. What would you say have been your secrets to success?

There's just not a lot of people that own their own practices around us. When you find a group, especially that is privately owned and you can be part of that, it makes a huge difference up front. They're not going to give you the same amount of money, but compared to those people now I'm making substantially higher income and salary. And I knew that would happen going into this, but took the brunt of that up front, knowing that I was going to spend my time for a couple years making a little less than some of these people who are getting these massive signing bonuses. But I knew that I'd be ultimately happier working there, too, so that was a big part of it.
