285: How to Start a Super Crazy Business and Go PRN Clinically – Part 6
This has truly been an amazing series. We started out talking about how to go about creating your business, now let’s get into the nitty gritty. Contracts, taxes, and making sure that you’re setting yourself up for financial and mental success.
First things first, taxes. I know. It seems super scary to have to step out and handle your own taxes rather than being paid through a W2 and just having them taken out. But here’s the deal, if you create a financial plan and remember to simply put back money for taxes, you’ll be fine.
In fact, knowing that you need to take out money for taxes and insurance, use this information going into your contract negotiations. Don’t short yourself and later realize that you didn’t think of those expenses. Before you ever leave your current job, ask for the information on what you and your employer pay and then factor that into your contract rate.
Also, don’t be afraid to have someone who is well-versed in medical contracts go over yours before you sign. You have the right to have the contract reviewed to make sure it says and covers exactly what you think it does. Protect yourself and know your rights.
The only person who is negotiating for your life and career is you. Know what you want in both and make sure that you only settle on things that aren’t non-negotiables.
Listen in to hear all of my tips and advice as well as my responses to questions I’ve received as this series has progressed! If you want to change your life, then listen to the whole series and really think about whether or not this is the right route for you!
