The last year we’ve spent a lot of time talking about real estate. But maybe you just don’t have the interest. You may want to get a higher return on your money than you can in a money market account or bank CD, but you don’t want to risk your savings in speculative investments and you don’t have time for real estate investing.
You want to do something with your money but you don’t know what, so it’s just sitting in a non-performing bank account making next to nothing. Or maybe you have invested in speculation and lost some of your retirement funds. That's the bad news.
But what if there was a way you could invest your money for high returns without shelling out a huge percentage of interest earned for fees, and you could do it without undue risk and without tenants, toilets, termites, or negotiating deals? Here’s the good news! There is a way for you to invest your money safely for high returns... and our next guest will show us how.
In the last 10 years, she has been known online as The Tax Lien Lady, has helped thousands of investors around the world to buy profitable tax liens and tax deeds with her step-by-step system.
Best of all, her easy-to-implement training programs have now helped people from all walks of life take control of their financial situation and their retirement.
Fasten your seatbelt because you are about to learn how to use a strategy for investing that has been carefully guarded by wealthy investors for decades!

[REPLAY] S4 Episode 4-Working the Side Hustle Flow- Nick Loper
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
My name is Dave Denniston. Welcome back my friends to the latest episode of The Freedom
Formula for Physicians Podcast.
My friend, as you know, I am captivated by the idea of side hustles. I have this podcast of
course. I’m an author. I acquired a digital business earlier this year and now my wife and I are
getting into the land flipping business.
You may think that’s crazy and that’s okay! I have someone here with me who is just as crazy
as I am and we are going to dig in and find out why. Our next guest is the Chief Side Hustler at
Side Hustle Nation.
He’s an entrepreneur involved in a variety of projects. Like any business, it has its ups and
downs, which can be stressful, but he learns something new every day.
He started Side Hustle Nation because he believes in the hustle. He would say... after all,
what’s riskier: starting a business, or relying on your job as your only source of income?
He used to work full-time for a giant corporation, but he built his biz over many nights and
weekends. He believes that you can do it too.
Please help me welcome Nick Loper from The Side Hustle Show.
In this podcast you will:
- Be motivated to not just settle for an average life
- Receive advice on how to focus your time and assets on what works best for you
- Ask yourself this question: What assets or skills do I have that could be leveraged in a unique or valuable way?
- Learn how a side hustle can be fun and not stressful
- Discover tools on how to live life more proactive and less reactive
Resources mentioned in this podcast:
If you are a physician or someone else servicing physicians and want to tell your story, grapple
with these tough issues, and getting on the soapbox for a few minutes, I’d love to share it too in the
next Freedom Formula for Physicians Podcast.
Make sure to contact me at dave@doctorfreedompodcast.com or on my website
www.doctorfreedompodcast.com.
If you got tremendous value from this podcast, I would like to ask you a favor. Could you take a
quick minute and do a review on Itunes? It really helps the show and would mean a lot to me.
Remember, make sure to slash your debt, slash your taxes, and live a liberated lifestyle.
