EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS
- Early in her career, Bonnie joined a Facebook group where women physicians talked about money. She was in credit card and student loan debt, but would hear her fellow residents talk about their investments. They recommended The White Coat Investor.
- Later, at a friend’s recommendation, she started a blog.
- Bonnie met Peter Kim of Passive Income MD (a former Money Checkup guest) at a financial planning conference and he encouraged her to “go big or go home.” In late 2018, she began transforming her blog into a business.
- As the business grew and her family life evolved, Bonnie switched from working full-time to locum tenens assignments.
- About a year into running her business, Bonnie has not yet taken a salary. Her backup plan is to return to a full-time schedule as a dermatologist, which would require four days of 9-to-5 work per week.
- Bonnie works with a life coach and would recommend the experience to anyone feeling burnt out or stuck.
- Bonnie recently hired a project manager and a virtual personal assistant so she can delegate some of her business tasks. That helps her free up time to focus on the things that only she can do.
- Many women physicians are the breadwinners in their families, and for now, Bonnie is the primary breadwinner in hers. She and her partner try to evaluate their situation regularly to see whether they are both happy.
