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.

TPP 59: The Importance of Rest
Everything in life has trade offs. Unfortunately, most of us don’t realize that this is happening, and so these trade offs happen unintentionally. We say “yes” to all sorts of things, and don’t realize that this means we are saying “no” to many others.
If you aren’t clear about what your priorities are, someone or something else will set them for you. Maybe it’s your job, your boss, or someone else in your life. If you haven’t mastered the art of saying no, then today’s episode is exactly what you need.
MMM 72: Dangerous Money Thoughts
What if the only thing holding you back from financial freedom was your mindset? When it comes to your money mindset there are two main schools of thought – the Scarcity Mentality and the Abundance Mentality.
