The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors
Business:Careers
How many income streams do you have? How many income streams do you think you should have?
In this physician focused episode, I answer the listener question, “how many income streams is really the right number? And how did you decide?” Then I take it further and explain four key reasons why the number you have in mind may not be the right number! I know this episode is longer than usual but trust me, you’ll wanna stick around until the end.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
You’ve been told that you need a bunch of side gigs and income streams. Being a doctor isn’t enough these days. But, if you’re feeling exhausted and burned out and all those things, your reality check is here. By the end of this episode, you will have an understanding of what income streams you need (or don’t need). These real-world examples will guide you through your feelings of burnout, buying happiness, the pressure of social comparison, and the most important thing to get right if you DO decide you need more income streams.
“There's a million things you could do, but only a few that you really should do.” - Marjorie Stiegler
