4 names of money

after completing his MBBS MD

a doctor got a job with a hospital

the money he used to get in month-end

was called

SALARY.

--

soon he realised that the hospital was making a fortune

from the patients he was seeing

but giving him peanuts as salary.

so he quit his job

and started his own clinic.

-

at the end of the month

even after all the expenses of clinic and staff

he was left with much more money

than when in job

though he was still seeing the same number of patients!

reason?

the name of the money coming to him

had now changed

from salary to

INCOME!

--

but the doctor believed in thinking big.

"how can i increase my income 10 times?" he challenged himself.

"by attending 10 times more patients!" his mind replied.

so he converted his clinic into a polyclinic

and hired 9 more doctors on "salary".

the number of patients in the polyclinic became 10 times!

the money-flow also increased 10 times!

in month-end

the hired doctors got their salary

and the name of the money

for the enterpreneur doctor

changed yet again

from income to

PROFIT

--

but soon

he again realised that

though his networth had increased manyfold

his time freedom had been lost!

he no longer had the time to fulfill his dreams.

so he sold his business

at a premium

to a big hospital chain

though not in cash

but for stock options

in the holding company!

-

his networth jumped with the rise in stock price

on the news that the company had taken over a popular polyclinic!

he got his money freedom back.

the name of his money again changed -

from profit

to

ROI (return on investment)!!!

--

today

he enjoys his life

and is living his dreams!

he still sees patients

but for free!!

he is rich

and getting richer

without much involvement!

all thanks to

the change in the name of his money!!!
