Doctors Building Wealth

In this week's podcast, we interview Dr. Gregory Hanson. He is a radiologist by training who founded flipMD, a physician-focused freelancing platform. What is truly remarkable about his story is that he started this company with his wife during residency and sold it to GoodRx in a little less than two years! Not only that, he did this with very little venture funding and he also managed the entire M&A (mergers and acquisitions) process himself without a broker. In this episode, we also delve briefly into his real estate journey. Like so many others in our community, he invested in short-term rentals, not only for the cashflow but also for the tax advantages. __________________________________________________________ Looking to learn more?

Would you consider yourself a planner? Many, like Kenji, don't see themselves as planners. In fact, research has shown that people with Kenji's personality type actually struggle with planning. The reason is, his personality is a go, go, go-type personality. He's constantly getting sh*t done, so stopping to plan feels like waste of time. However, over the last 3-6 months, this has all changed. Now, instead of labeling himself "I'm not a planner," he now loves to plan and can't imagine beginning his day without a plan. Why the dramatic shift? He reached a threshold. A threshold is the point at which you get fed up with your current situation and you decide to make a change. So how did he make the shift? First thing is, he changed his identity. See, if you label yourself "I'm not a planner," then you will do whatever it takes to maintain that identity. Once you change your identity to "I'm a planner," things start to change. All of a sudden, you no longer fiercely hold onto the old identity. Second, he made time for it each day. It is actually built into his daily schedule. Third, he started to see positive results from planning, which created a positive reinforcement loop. See, when you plan effectively, you get better results. This is one of the keys to planning. It's not about getting more sh*t done. It's about focusing on the things you value the most. For example, you might value having your kids see you as a fun and loving dad. If that's the outcome you're seeking, then you have to plan time to create those fun and loving moments with your kids. This gives each to-do on your list more meaning. It's not something you check off. Instead, each to-do is important and meaningful to you, so when you accomplish it, you are achieving the results you're seeking. Now this episode isn't just about Kenji's dramatic shift, Leti also made significant changes to how she plans. She now organizes her planning around the different roles she plays in life for example: mother, wife, CEO, and community. So if you want better results in your life, consider planning for success!

Have you ever heard yourself say, "I just don't have enough time to do [fill in the blank]. This is one of the most common excuses we hear from prospective students of our Zero to Freedom and Accelerating Wealth courses. They say, for example, "it's not a good time, maybe in 6 months." We understand that life happens and some people legitimately have more important things going on in their lives that they have to prioritize. But our guess is that it's the minority. Most people thinking about getting into real estate investing, DO have the time. Where does this come from? Oftentimes, it's rooted in fear. It's an excuse that they make up in their minds to help them cope with the fact that they aren't taking action. The reality is, they just aren't making it a priority. Ultimately, we all have the time to handle whatever we make a priority. If a loved one fell ill, you'd find the time to take care of them because their well-being is a priority to you. So, is becoming financially independent a priority for you? Have someone who you think should be featured in a future episode? Comment and let us know on our socials!
