The word “wealth” is highly subjective. For some, wealth is a comfortable living without worrying about money. For others, it brings to mind mansions and private jets. But have you ever stopped to think what being “wealthy” means to you?
To take it a step further, consider this: Is being wealthy the same thing as being rich? For me, trying to be rich means being concerned with a number, while trying to be wealthy means being concerned with time.
Of course, there is no set roadmap to wealth. However, I do believe that many wealthy people do share certain behaviors and common mindsets. If we can adopt these behaviors, then we, too, can find ourselves on the road to wealth.
Wealthy people tend to not waste much time. They know that time is the most precious thing in life. This doesn’t mean you can never enjoy yourself or watch Netflix, it simply means that you’re extremely intentional and spend your time on the things that you enjoy the most.
When it comes to new and interesting opportunities, most physicians truly are their own worst enemies. We doubt our ability to succeed outside of medicine, since that’s all we know. But I believe the opposite is true.
Have you ever noticed that when you’re around motivated individuals, you find yourself motivated? This is the whole point of finding mentors or creating mastermind groups.
