“Stay in your lane!”. If you’ve ever heard this phrase before, you may know how it feels to be shut down before you can even try new things.
It is human nature to want to continuously grow and learn. Yet if we restrict ourselves to the things that we know and the things that make us comfortable, we will never be pushed towards growth. As Jon Beaty says, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying.”
As a hand physician, Eric was always told to stay in his lane and not pursue investment opportunities outside his scope of practice.
However, with his passion and curiosity for learning new things, that was just not possible for him. He believes that “we have an innate intelligence to learn any new discipline.”
It is with this mindset that Eric has been able to not only achieve a net worth of $500 million but to also be an exceptional hand surgeon, and run several successful practices.
He also credits his success and balance on the talented and caring individuals around him, who share his passion for meeting and helping others, as well as his loving wife, Kim, and two daughters, Chloe and Cassidy.
Today, Eric is a renowned hand surgeon, serial entrepreneur, venture capitalist, published author, philanthropist, founder and CEO of Omega Hospital, New Orleans’s first physician-owned hospital; the Hand Center of Louisiana, where he actively practices; and ERG Enterprises, a $1 billion investment firm committed to changing communities worldwide.
On this episode of the Rock Your Money, Rock Your Life podcast, Eric and I discuss how he took the plunge and became a serial entrepreneur, why abundance is so much more than just wealth, and why we should reject the phrase, “Stay in your lane.”
