138: How to Lose Money by Selling a Business Twice with Dr. David Phelps

Author: Paul Moore and Josh Thomas December 10, 2018 Duration: 37:03

Dr. David Phelps owned and managed a private practice dental office for over twenty-one years. While still in dental school, he began his investment in real estate by joint-venturing with his father on their first rental property in 1980.

Multiple health crises suffered by his daughter, Jenna (leukemia, epilepsy and a liver transplant at age 12), caused David to leave practice so that he could spend time with his daughter. Unfortunately, a divorce and failed practice sale provided additional setbacks that he had to think and work through.

Today, David is a nationally recognized speaker on creating freedom, building real businesses and investing in real estate. He also combines his professional and personal experiences to illustrate how the tactical and aspirational work together. David helps other logical, rational professionals become dreamers, then strategically manifest those dreams into freedom. He authors a monthly newsletter, "Path to Freedom" and hosts The Dentist Freedom Blueprint podcast.

New conversations arrive every Monday, providing a regular dose of practical wisdom earned the hard way.
