Business Building with Dr. Bonnie Koo

Promotional image for "Doctors Building Wealth" podcast, Episode 17, titled "Business Building," featuring a portrait of Dr. Bonnie Koo, an expert in business building.

As physicians, we took many courses and exams to get to where we are. But, it’s very possible that none of them included learning the components required for building your business. This week, our good friend and fellow physician blogger, podcaster, and course creator, Bonnie Koo, MD, joins us on the Rich Doc Poor Doc podcast to talk about building her business. We go past the obvious checklist of what it takes to build a business and dive deep into the “intangibles.” 

For example, strategy is an important factor when it comes to business building. But, it will only get you so far if your mindset isn’t right. We discuss what comprises a great mindset to have while building your business, and Bonnie gives us insight on what she’s learned during what she cleverly calls her “residency in entrepreneurship.” 

The main takeaway from today’s episode was the importance and necessity of investing in a coach, especially if you want to take your business far…and fast. She started her brand for the simple goal of educating women physicians on how to take control of their finances and has since expanded through creating courses and venturing into real estate investing, too. Her course, Money for Woman Physicians, could be part of your “entrepreneurship residency” for getting your money in order and taking control of your finances. Enrollment opens September 23…join the waitlist here!

Hi, we’re Kenji and Leti

we provide coaching and mentorship for doctors and high-income earners

Several years ago, we were newlyweds working as full-time hospitalists. On paper, it looked like we had everything: the prestigious careers, the happy marriage, the luxurious rental home, the cars, etc.

But in reality? Despite having worked for several years, we had very little savings. Despite our high income, we had very little freedom in terms of time or money.

One thing was clear: we had to do something.
