334 - Building True Wealth and Buying Back Your Time: Fixing the Broke Doctor Problem (Part 2) feat. Kiera Dent
Description
In part two of this powerful conversation, Dr. Lauryn and Kiera Dent go beyond burnout to talk about what comes after fixing your business finances—how to build true wealth, create freedom, and stop trading every hour for income. Picking up where last week left off, they dive deep into the realities of money, marriage, and mindset in healthcare ownership.
Together, they discuss the “spender vs. saver” dynamic in relationships, how to align your financial goals with your partner, and why discipline and simplicity are the keys to long-term security. Lauryn shares how she diversified her income through real estate, crypto, and personal branding, while Kiera outlines her step-by-step system for mapping financial freedom levels—from survival to abundance. If you’ve ever wondered how to actually buy back your time as a healthcare entrepreneur, this is your roadmap.
Key Takeaways:
- Make the money, keep the money. Profit margins are just the start—wealth comes from disciplined saving, investing, and resisting lifestyle creep.
- Balance spender vs. saver energy. Success in business and marriage requires clear financial communication and shared vision, not control or guilt.
- Diversify your income streams. Lauryn shares how adding digital products, real estate, and crypto created freedom beyond her clinic.
- Buy back your time. Hiring leadership like a Director of Operations and learning to delegate are key to scaling and reclaiming your energy.
- Reinvent yourself every 7–12 years. Growth requires embracing change instead of fighting it—career reinvention is part of a healthy, evolving life.
