Why start a blog? Why start a blog with this particular name, “Medical Millionaire”?

Over the course of several blog entries, I will try to answer those questions as well as going into some of my personal history that has gotten me to this point in time.

Over the course of the past 30+ years, I have practiced in a small town in rural Maine.  However, despite that modest beginning as a solo practitioner, I expanded over time to a multi-million dollar, group internal medicine practice with multiple lucrative ancillary services.

How I accomplished that and why I felt compelled eventually to accomplish that will be the subject matter of this blog.

While I agree in general that physicians receive a much higher income than the average population, I do feel that the concept of “the rich doctor” is a misnomer.  Over the course of my career, I have met many highly-compensated physicians who were by no means rich in terms of net worth, and many who cannot tolerate missing a paycheck.

I certainly would not expect any sympathy from the general public for the fate of these doctors. In many ways, I agree that their fate is their own fault and clearly preventable.

I plan on using this blog to initially outline my medical, business and financial history. I also plan to outline how I accomplished what I did, and use this as a guide for other physicians.

I am not writing this blog to impress anyone, but rather to impress upon them the relatively simple and reproducible aspects of my success. Basically, my attitude is that if I can do it in a small world town in Maine, any physician can accomplish the same anywhere in the United States, and perhaps the world.

I do realize that starting off a blog, I will be primarily writing to myself.  However, I hope to build an audience who will benefit from this information over time. Continue to read and follow this blog, and we will discover many things together.
