You are your #1 asset as a resident or young #physician,

Your future income.

How can we build wealth that works when you are sleeping? 🧵

I don’t have data to back up this claim. But I’m gonna make it anyway!

The number one killer of physician finances is comparison.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

Let’s slow down and ask, “what do you value?”

What brings meaning into your life? (Ok so that’s two questions ;)

Envy is real. Mimetic desire (hat tip to @LukeBurgis) is a powerful force.

How do you slow yourself down and evaluate a purchase? Wait 24 hours? Wait 7 days?

What works for you?

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

But if you run on debt, you are dependent on your job.

You have only bad choices. You have to work more.

So much of our work together is building daily habits that better your position.

Allowing you to weather the inevitable storms that life brings our way.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

I strongly believe in the power of positioning.

You have solid choices when you are in a great position.

When you care for your health, you put yourself in a great position.

When you save and invest, you are bettering your financial position.

You don’t have to rush to make decisions.

As an anesthesiologist, the foundation of our work is being prepared.

To know your patient’s medical history, and the details of the surgery and to prepare for potential complications.

Your financial life should be cared for with this same preparation.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

To understand your current financial state.

To spend time exploring where you want to go. To know what you value.

And prepare for the unexpected. We don’t know when challenges will arise, but we can be certain they will.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

Your goals aren’t going to happen without money.

We focus on exploring your purpose and values so we can help use your money to build your best life.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

Money is a tool to help you live your authentic life.

But too often, we think money is the end goal.

Saving for retirement is another achievement to cross off the list.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

I also know how much you sacrificed and how hard you worked to become a doctor.

And more than anything, I want to see you succeed financially.

So you can build your life full of meaning and purpose.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

In the hospital, you call a cardiac consult when you need a cardiac evaluation.

Or you call nephrology to help answer a few questions.

Or your favorite neurosurgeon to come evaluate your patient for potential surgery.

Why wouldn’t you ask for the same expert guidance with your finances?

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

As an MD and JD I use this expertise to build wealth and purpose for my colleagues.

I understand the details and help you learn in a language you can understand.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

When we talk, this is the #1 outcome they want.

To feel better about their money decisions.

Schedule time today and start feeling better about your financial decisions.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

I work with some incredible physicians. Excellent training. Wicked smart.

They also care deeply about their patients and provide the best care.

Yet, so many tell me they don’t feel confident about their money decisions.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

I’m looking for great estate attorneys to refer clients.

I have several in my home state of Oregon.

Who have you worked with who does an incredible job?

Even better if they meet remotely with clients.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

Ask them questions. Be interested.

People, especially physicians, love to help others on their path.

We used to be limited by geography. Now you can find a mentor all across the globe.

What a gift.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

One of the best life hacks, personally and professionally, is finding a great mentor.

Someone who has walked, crawled, and dragged themselves through the same path.

Someone to accelerate your learning and pick you up when you fall.

[Cobin Soelberg, M.D., J.D. @GreeleyWealth]

Find someone who is doing the work you want to do.

Or living life in a way that speaks to you.
