Why do doctors feel guilty about asking for more money? And why does the world seem to reinforce that guilt?
For too long, as doctors, we have been conditioned to believe that medicine is a calling, not a career—that they should be grateful for what they have and never ask for more. But here’s the truth: knowing your value and charging accordingly is not greed—it’s self-respect.
In this episode, we’re breaking down:
The cultural narratives that make doctors feel guilty about money
How companies and organisations take advantage of doctors’ expertise for free
Why other professionals aren’t shamed for making more—and why you shouldn’t be either
How adopting a premium pricing and value-based strategy protects you from burnout and builds a sustainable career
Practical steps to shift your mindset and start asking for what you deserve
Doctors, it’s time to stop undervaluing yourselves. The only people who shame you for asking for more are the ones benefiting from you asking for less.
Ready to Own Your Worth & Elevate Your Career?
If you’re a doctor ready to transition into high-value, non-clinical roles and start charging what you’re worth, the Doctors in Industry Fellowship is for you.
