Unlocking Financial Freedom with Dr. Gulshan Oberoi

Financial freedom is a goal that many people aspire to achieve. It means having enough money to support your lifestyle without relying on a paycheck or anyone else for financial support. Achieving financial freedom is a challenging feat. It may lead us to step outside the comfort of our profession and allow ourselves to enter into a different realm of learning. For instance, in Medicine, gaining knowledge and understanding about real estate investments could bring professional growth for them and a sense of security for their families.

Moreover, achieving financial freedom through real estate investment requires a long-term, strategic approach. Building our knowledge, starting small, and focusing on cash flow can all contribute to our success. Remember that we must stay committed to our goals and remain adaptable to changing market conditions. We can achieve financial freedom through real estate investment with diligence and patience. Thus, financial freedom is not a one-time achievement but a lifelong journey requiring continuous effort and commitment.

Dr. Gulshan Oberoi is the Founder and Managing Partner at Vertical Mind Ventures. His primary focus includes capital market analysis, investment strategy, and investor relations. Gulshan has more than six years of commercial real estate experience and has personally invested both actively as well as a limited partner in over 20,000 residential units and 3 million square feet of self-storage, industrial and office space. Gulshan was born and raised in India. Today he is a successful practicing Neurologist in the USA specializing in Seizure disorders/ Epilepsy. He has been very active in the field of Medicine for over 20 years. In his spare time, he loves to travel, play basketball, try various cuisines, and spend time with his wife, Jaspreet, and two daughters.

In this special episode with Dr. Gulshan Oberoi, we will learn about the journey of an empowered man passionate about sports, Medicine, and business.

Key Takeaways:

"If you love what you do, then the sacrifices don't come." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi

"Decide what you want to do and get on the path. You can't listen to what all the naysayers have to say because many people that tell you such things haven't been down that road anyway." – Dr. Derrick Burgess

"The idea of financial freedom took place not out of necessity but out of circumstances." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi

"I started thinking, how can I be financially free so that even if I lose my job, my kids are fed and, I still have a good source of income to fall back on if the time comes to that." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi

"There was a lot of uncertainty, and it was a waking call for many physicians and health care workers to say this profession that we've held so tightly to has changed already.” – Dr. Derrick Burgess

"Once you gain knowledge, that's when you become more confident in investing because the more you learn, the less risk it is involved." – Dr. Derrick Burgess

"When you set your heart and mind to something, you can do whatever you want. It's a mindset, and I want to keep that mindset." – Dr. Gulshan Oberoi
