Choosing Autonomy: How Dr. Janeeka Benoit Built Her Own Path in Medicine and Wealth

Building a career on your own terms can be exciting, but creating a business while protecting your income and building wealth comes with plenty of financial decisions. In this episode, Dr. Lisha Taylor sits down with Dr. Janeeka Benoit, a double board-certified internist and sports medicine physician, to talk about her journey from locum tenens and telemedicine to creating her own cash-pay practice. Learn how she used additional income streams to support her business, navigated the costs of starting a practice, protected herself with insurance and a solo 401(k), and approached investing in stocks and real estate syndications. They also discuss managing competing financial priorities, preparing to merge finances with a future spouse, and why building wealth can be about more than money. Tune in now to hear how creating more autonomy can become part of your financial plan.
