Can I Make You: A Millionaire Nurse?

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Can I make you a Millionaire Nurse?   NO!

Do I think you should become   A Millionaire Nurse ?  If YOU want to!

Here I have a blog, a website, a book, and speaking engagements…..

“What is Dr Dean talking about, if his blog isn’t to make nurses millionaires, then what is it?”

Well, I can’t make any of you millionaires.  What can I do?

  • Give you permission to be Millionaires-convince you it is worthwhile to think it is possible.
  • Teach you the tools to learn to manage your money.
  • Teach you the basics of investing.
  • Teach you the difference between “bad” debt and “neutral” debt- I don’t believe there is “good”debt.
  • Teach you the differences between investing and gambling.
  • Teach you to think on your own, and understand why you do something, not just because I, or anyone else says you should.
  • Teach you to think and plan  before you spend.
  • Teach you the importance of insurance, wills, retirement accounts, emergency funds, college funds, and personal savings.

How do you learn the skills and mindset of Millionaire Nurses?

  • Be teachable.
  • Want to learn-no they are not the same….
  • Study, read, and absorb.
  • Look deep into your sub-conscious and try to understand why you are unsuccessful with managing your money. This may sound like psycho-babble, but I strongly believe it is true-if you don’t think you are worthy, wealth will not happen.
  • Be patient, Rome wasn’t built in a day-your personal finance Armageddon will not be repaired overnight.
  • Be consistent-again similar to above, but not the same, that drip, drip, drip of good financial decisions, will soon result in a reservoir full of M-O-N-E-Y.  Just like a stroke victim at physical therapy-progress is slow, but steady…

I heard a million times in medical school and residency-You see one, do one, then  teach one.

Nursing 1959

I will show you the operation, but you have to pick up the scalpel, and perform YOUR own  wealth building procedure.  Then my hope will be, you will remember to teach others-( or at least tell them about this blog!)
