The above quote encapsulates the mindset and approach that Dr. Irfan Siddiqui has used to guide his own life in the medical world. He has 'walked the walk' which allows him to 'talk the talk.' He provides his reading audience with sage wisdom that can propel them to greater success - both financial and personal. In this visionary book, the author opens the world of business and reality for doctors in all stages of their growth, especially those starting out. He also uses the opportunity to address doctors that feel trapped on the 'medical hamster wheel' of security. While the author expresses the value and personal advantages of looking at the business of medicine analytically from non-traditional angles, he urges readers to take a calculated and mindful approach to all changes they propose to make in their lives. He advocates progress with expanded vision - one seen through a lens of realistic assessment, considering the risks that may be encountered. With an eye on personal health maintenance for the individual, Dr. Siddiqui recommends his readers develop a balanced lifestyle as part of his process. He believes that the reader's success is geared to their ability to adapt to the changes in their personal lives as well as to the desire to achieve their personal challenges.
