The importance of continuing financial and wellness education

Everybody needs an initial financial education, which begins as you start to learn about finance and ends at the point when you have a written financial plan. You can get that education in many different ways, from reading books to taking our online Fire Your Financial Advisor course to actually hiring a financial planner. However, once you have basic financial literacy and at least a rudimentary financial plan, your financial education is not over. There is always something new to learn, and it is important to keep up to date.

One of the best options for staying updated is to take our annual Continuing Financial Education online course. You can take this course on your own timetable and from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can carry your phone or laptop. If you have an iPhone, you can even listen to it podcast-style using the Teachable app.

Testimonials

Attendees of the conference had this to say about it:

“This is a chance to focus on wellness and finance. Tying these two together is key.”

“I felt like this had more impact than the more pure medical type conference. Presenters were outstanding and often included humor and were interactive. Stacy's Choose to Thrive talk was amazing and inspirational, and we need more talks like this!”

“I have been following WCI for a long time and have built my portfolio with the assistance of the information I have received. This cemented that knowledge and expanded upon the idea of prioritizing self. The wellness component was very beneficial, and I plan to implement several of the techniques.”

“This changed my life. As a new attending physician, I had so many conflicting opinions about student loan debt, retirement contributions and what I should and shouldn’t do with my money and time. After only a few years of practice, I felt overwhelmed with which steps I should take in creating my financial plan, and this has provided me with the resources and confidence to move forward and take action.”

“I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the topics and lectures were. I think in this day and age, mental health and time management is critical for a busy physician. I also think there’s a big push for side gigs, and the presentations given during this course opened up my eyes to various possibilities outside of medicine.”

“This fills the knowledge gaps that are omitted in medical training. I feel like a more well rounded person who can be a better physician, spouse, and parent because of the knowledge passed on through the WCI community and conference.”

“I learned a ton and am substantially more motivated to get my financial plan in place and have more confidence now that I can manage my finances on my own and effectively plan for retirement.”

I can't say it any better than that. If that doesn't convince you that this course is worth your time and money, I don't know what else I can do!
