RG 322 - Building a Business Without Leaving Your Career – w/ Vikram Raya

We’re psyched to have an old friend on the show today, none other than the all-around all-star Vikram Raya! Vikram excels in just about anything. He is a cardiologist, high-performance coach, international speaker, functional medicine specialist, and avid real estate investor. He has raised over $100 million in private equity and spearheads Viking Capital, a real estate company that helps busy physicians create multi-general wealth through multifamily investments. How does Vikram do it? In this week’s interview, Vikram and I talk about his journey of being a cardiologist while building up multiple businesses from scratch. We touch on what it’s like combining his career and his business, becoming an entrepreneur with traditional family background, the steps to scaling up, and so much more. Starting a business doesn’t mean you should quit your first passion. Tune in to this episode to learn how Vikram managed to balance the best of both of his worlds. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. You don’t have to separate your day job from your business to be successful in both. 2. When you have multiple passions, focus on what’s easy, lucrative, and fun (ELF) and avoid things that are hard, annoying, lame, and frustrating (HALF). 3. Figure out what you’re good at and find people who can help you build your vision. 4. When you hit a plateau, regroup, reach out to others, and find a way to figure out how to break through the ceiling.
