Trading Time for Dollars

April 16th, 2009 Peter Holst, D.C. No comments

Trading time for dollars is not necessarily a challenge exclusive to chiropractors or healthcare workers; any service oriented business has the same problem. 

For those who provide a service and are not bothered by this exchange they either really like what they are doing or they are making a lot of money doing it; maybe both.  If I had to be trading time for dollars I can’t think of a better vocation to do this with; I love being a chiropractor.  My challenge is as the business of healthcare continues to be more absurd with each passing day, the infamous “Burn Out” becomes more and more imminent!  With burn out comes depressing thoughts of trading time for dollars.  Actually, as much as I DO love chiropractic, burnout has occurred for me.  It actually started to rear its ugly head at about year number 17 or 18, 2002 or 2003.  Not too bad; I lasted about 18 years!  For the many chiropractors I have spoken with, burn out can come as early as after 3 or 4 years.  The question I have is, is burn out a by-product of length of service or is it just a sign of the times?

Are you burned out?  I suspect that if you are reading this that you maybe, in fact, at least on the verge of burn out.  What is your precipiting factor, or factors?  Heck, just the thought of needing to be in the office to actually be making money could be a factor for many.  You know in years gone by a chiropractor, or any other healthcare worker for that matter, could make a decent living.  No question that there maybe some who may still be doing that.  However, I dare say that the vast majority are making less, BUT the big second question is where are you putting your money to create that “nest-egg”?  Investment are clearly challenging, risky, and often times much less fruitful than they once were.

Again, I love what I do, but it would be nice to tap into a program that creates a secondary stream of passive income, money you make while sitting on the beach or while sleeping.  Imagine that!

In fact, over the past 4-5 years I have learned a lot about this industry and I can’t wait to share it with you.  Go ahead and click through MY Dream and My Solutions to see the journey I have had and where I am heading.
