A humorous meme with a powerful message… ⁣⁣Once upon a time a younger version of myself worked 6 days a week in dentistry. I used to spend the 7th day of the week preparing for the next week and also reading and learning more about dentistry. It's fair to say I suffered from the total misconception that the input of time for the output of money was directly proportional.

This is a narrative that we have come to accept but in reality if you scratch the surface is totally untrue. ⁣⁣The more I learned about money/investing the more I realised that there are a million ways it can work for us short term or long term to buy back our freedom. One just needs to get a great timeframe on when they wish to extract profits and also understand some basic principles. After that it's just applying them consistently and with good risk management.

⁣⁣We as dentists are SO unbelievably fortunate because we often have spare cash that when used wisely can work for us. I would never ever go back to working 6 days a week, it was true insanity and stifled my growth in so many other aspects of my life. ⁣⁣I chased the satisfaction of FEELING like I was working hard rather than my own personal wellbeing. I also chased money and thought this was the only means to become wealthy.

⁣⁣PLEASE don't be like me. The information is out there. Theres a status quo in society that says that we must be grafting 24/7. Whilst I am a firm believer in hard work past a certain point it just becomes unhealthy and unwise – best epiphany I ever had was to realise it doesn't have to be that way.

⁣⁣The world is abundant, we’re all a team and the more information we can share with each other the more we can all benefit.
