Teaching doctors how to live life on their terms – Part of the Money Meets Medicine Brand
with Jimmy Turner, MD
Are you living the dream? Or do you feel stuck or trapped in medicine?
As physicians, we sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. But at some point, we realize that when we say “Yes” to the committees, book-chapters, meetings, late nights, and leadership tasks, we’re saying “No” to our families and work-life balance. It doesn’t have to be this way.

As a physician, husband, father, and entrepreneur, I know what it’s like to feel like there is never time to take a deep breath and end up on the road to burnout.
I felt undervalued, unappreciated, and trapped. I was stuck in medicine.
But rather than step back and find balance in my personal and professional life, I carried on, sure that my ‘next’ accomplishment would get me off the road to burnout and make me happy.
I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was all an arrival fallacy. Once I “arrived,” it was never enough.
What was the fix? Creating the financial freedom I needed to practice medicine on my terms, and doing the thought work to figure out how I wanted to use that newfound freedom.

The Arrival Fallacy
We all have ideas of what happiness looks like. We say things like, “when ___ happens, I’ll be happy.“ This is called the Arrival Fallacy. Today we’re going to talk about to find true happiness.
Following the Financial Crowd
Have you ever left a sporting event, following the crowd, and suddenly realized you were walking the wrong way? What if I told you this phenomenon has a name, and it impacts your money, too?
Understanding our own behavior when it comes to finance is essential because it helps us mitigate wrong-for-us decision making around money. Unless you know these roadblocks exist, you can’t do much to stop them from derailing your financial goals.
Last week, we shared why human behavior matters for our financial lives by taking a look at the first 5 out of 10 psychological phenomena that can (and do) affect your personal finance goals: greed, fear, ego/overconfidence, loss aversion, and analysis paralysis.
This week, we’re diving back into behavioral finance (one of our favorite topics) to share five more types of unchecked human behavior that can sabotage your journey to building the wealth you want.
