Dr. David Phelps, DDS shares how a family illness changed his perspective on time, success, and fueled his desire for creating freedom for himself and others. Listen in as Deborah and David discuss feeling torn between work and family, the importance of mentoring others, and how collaboration with others creates freedom and peace of mind.
Dr. David Phelps, DDS 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. Three years later, they sold the property and David took his $25,000 capital gain share and leveraged it into thirty-one properties that later produced $15,000 monthly net cash flow.
Life was good, the sky was the limit - until the dark day that David’s daughter, Jenna, was diagnosed with Leukemia. In the midst of cancer treatments, epilepsy and ultimately a liver transplant for Jenna, David made the crucial decision to leave clinical practice so that he could spend every moment with his daughter.
David’s “Plan B” (a portfolio of cash-fow producing real estate assets) gave him the Freedom to focus 100% on what mattered most. Jenna won the battle with disease, and David still enjoys the Freedom to cherish every moment with her that he can. Today, David is a nationally recognized speaker on creating Freedom, building real businesses and investing in real estate.
David helps other logical, rational professionals become dreamers, then strategically manifest those dreams into Freedom. Under David’s leadership, the Freedom Founders Mastermind Community grows exponentially, year by year, providing the pathway to Freedom for many professional practice owners.
