"Just take action. Take action. Don't overthink it. Don't overcomplicate it.”
Welcome to another episode of the Investing RN podcast! In today's episode, we're thrilled to have Tim Woodbridge with us, a former nurse who has brilliantly transitioned from healthcare to mobile home investment.
Tim's story is not just about a career shift; it's a tale of transformation and financial empowerment. After a decade in nursing, working in various departments from telemetry to outpatient dialysis, Tim's eyes were opened to the power of investment through the influential book "Rich Dad Poor Dad." This led him down a path where he now thrives in property management and operations, all the while growing his investment portfolio and mentoring future investors.
In our conversation, Tim delves into the nitty-gritty of leaving behind the security of a nursing career to embrace the risks and rewards of real estate entrepreneurship. He shares the emotional and financial upheavals that come with such a bold move and how he navigated the uncertainties to build substantial wealth through asset ownership.
Tim's journey is inspiring and we believe you can learn so much from him on your way to financial freedom. Whether you're a healthcare professional curious about real estate or an investor looking for a fresh perspective, this episode is for you!
