The Limitless MD

Achieving monumental success can create a lull. A lull can sabotage you because it makes you rest on your oars. You are not advancing forward. You are going soft. But don’t worry about it. This is reversible. I have been there, too, and I have undergone a mental transformation to create drive and momentum again. In today’s solo episode, I offer a roadmap so you can use failure as fuel for success.  These are some of the topics I cover here:   - The lull that comes after success can sabotage you      - Meaning of mediocrity creep- Influence of David Goggins’ work in my life- How I created momentum for myself - Advice for achieving sustained excellenceWhen nothing feels like success, you will maintain your high standards. And you will continue being a limitless MD. So if you notice you’re going soft, just focus on self-care, recommit to action, go back to your weekly reviews, and connect again with your why. Be vigilant about this, and you will achieve sustained excellence. Until next time. “If you’re really crushing it, it’s hard to maintain that hard level, that high engine of ingenuity, engine of drive and forward momentum.” - Dr. Vikram RayaIn This Episode: - Welcome back to another episode of the Limitless MD podcast- The lull that comes after success can sabotage you - Meaning of mediocrity creep        - Influence of David Goggins’ work in my life    - How I created momentum for myself - Advice for achieving sustained excellence    Resources Mentioned: - Book “Never Finished: Unshackle Your Mind and Win the War Within” by David Goggins - https://www.amazon.com/Never-Finished-Unshackle-Your-Within/dp/1544534086 - Book “Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds” by David Goggins - https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512287 Resources: - Join our Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator https://limitless-md.mn.co/- https://vikramraya.com/programs/ - Sign up to my email list - https://vikramraya.com/- Apply to work with Vik and book a clarity call here - https://bit.ly/3CXuigz- Group Coaching Now Open!

Vision, challenges, and relationships. This framework has helped my guest, Dr. Rakesh Suri, guide his life. Dr. Rakesh Suri is a fascinating gentleman. He is a friend, a colleague, and an inspiration to me. A renaissance man, he is a physician, a thought leader, an innovator, a researcher, and a business executive. Having performed almost 7,000 surgical procedures as a cardiothoracic surgeon, now he’s heading one of the most innovative ventures I have come across. The name of this new project is Fountain Life. He has partnered with incredible people such as Tony Robbins to bring biohacking and human optimization to the general public. These are some of the topics covered in the episode:   Lessons Dr. Rakesh Suri learned from his immigrant parents      Favorite moments as a physicianCreation of Fountain LifeLifespan vs. healthspan How to get involved with Fountain LifeSome physicians will help you be proactive and predict diseases vs. just managing problems that have already arisen.

And keep being phenomenal. “I often tell my children, and those who will listen, that medicine is a fantastic platform.

Recycling your money in real estate is possible. But first, you must find a way to buy your first property, re-invest the money you get from renting it, and then scale the business. It’s not as difficult as it sounds for high-earning physicians. Today’s guest will help you get there. Dustin Heiner has all the free time we, as busy MDs, would like to have.

I hope this episode helps you to get closer to this goal. “That’s how we scale.

There’s a Holy Grail for all of us. Mine was becoming a cardiologist. Before going to medical school, I thought that once I achieved that goal, the sky would part, the sun would shine on my face, and angels would sing. I felt that life was going to be amazing. And when I achieved that goal, it was not as shiny as I expected it to be. I devoted all my energy to my work, but being only a physician had limitations in terms of money and time. Since I didn’t want to become a mediocre MD, I decided to become limitless. To do it, I started making explorations outside the field of medicine. And my guest today did the same thing. He is doctor Ankeet Udani, an anesthesiologist that works at Duke University. Intelligent, well-rounded, and successful are some of the adjectives that apply to him. These are some of the topics covered in the episode:   How to break through the scarcity mindset  Steps to follow to start becoming limitless How to work on yourself when you think you don’t have time to do it Strategies and advice for doctors who crave growth Why self-investment is the best investmentI brought Ankeet to the podcast because he is crushing it in all aspects of life. I wanted to pick his brain on how he turned up the volume to transition from being an excellent physician to a Limitless MD. Listen up to find the answer and a detailed how-to. “The biggest step is admitting that your calendar is full, but you need to create time for yourself and for your self-investment. That’s your first step. You need to prime yourself to be ready to explode.” - Ankeet Udani MD In This Episode:- Welcome back to another episode of the Limitless MD podcast- How to break through the scarcity mindset and go into an abundance mindset      - Steps to follow to start becoming limitless         - What happens when you reach your limit as a physician    - How to work on yourself, your mindset, and on creating wealth - Strategies and advice for doctors who crave growth   - Why self-investment is the best investment you can make - People will notice your transformation - Books are a great tool for learning  - Creating an abundance loop - Recommendations to keep learning and improving your lifeResources Mentioned: - Blinkist- Book “The Perfect Week Formula: Build Your Business Around Your Life, Not Your Life Around Your Business” by Craig Ballantyne Resources: - Join our Free community of high-performing physicians: the Physician Wealth Accelerator - https://vikramraya.com/programs/ - Sign up to my email list - Apply to work with Vik and book a clarity call here- Group Coaching Now Open!
