Hi Everyone!
First post here. I finished TMF a few years ago and it basically turned my worldview upside down. It was almost at the point of dropping everything I was currently involved with (traditional college education/job path) and starting fresh...but...I just liked surgery too much and want it to be part of my life. I'm now (finally) a surgery resident and I genuinely love it. My specialty makes a good living (500k+) but it's a long road, with lots of debt and opportunity cost - definitely not fastlane. The only problem is I still think about TMF weekly. Call it fomo or whatever, but TMF reallly lit a fastlane/entrepreneurship fire in me that all my grad school and surgery training has yet to blow out. I'm in a fortunate (or unfortunate depending on how you look at it) scenario that money won't be a big issue for me when it comes to covering my basics, but if my hand isn't holding a scalpel I won't be making money. Anything could happen, from an injury, to a change in insurance, etc, and things could change in a major way. I'm done using forums like this as entertainment and I want to jump in the game! Surgery residency is extremely busy, but I'm able to carve out multiple hours a week to get working on something - even if all I do is learn a lot through failure, and even if I'm really slow at it...
Affiliate marketing seems like a great place to start. Low start-up costs (good for me as I'm strapped with debt and a residents salary isn't huge), experience learning some copywriting, seo, website design, etc... my question is, can you think of a better option to just get started with that will help me learn valuable skills and still potentially lead to profits?
The main goal, in the end, would be to work as a surgeon, funnel income into rental properties, and have another side business(s) as another source of income (ideally businesses that are online). The dream would be to have enough income outside of medicine to eventually be able to scale back and take only the cases I want/be more free to do probono/medical missions.
Thanks for any input!
