Select a professional who can guide you through investment decisions and explain the benefits in a way that you can understand.Diversify your income streams: Building an asset involves more than just creating an income stream. Consider investing in retirement accounts, businesses, real estate, or other avenues that can provide financial security and ultimately give you the freedom to work on your own terms without feeling forced to do so.More about Ryan:Ryan Derousseau, CFP®, is a fee-only financial planner who specializes in working with therapists and private practitioners, enabling them to thrive financially so they can focus on clients.
