You aren't ever rich if your balance sheet is healthy but your heart is empty.

The veterinary profession is at a crossroads. New graduates are burdened by debt and loss of agency. Our daily practice has drifted to become, in many ways, like just a job. And ownership seems increasingly out of reach, especially in the face of powerful corporate interests. Where do we go from here?

Thankfully, a degree in veterinary medicine is a dynamic economic asset, which can set us on the path to prosperity-both financial and non-financial. It is possible to love our profession, provide exceptional care, dedicate ourselves to our clients and greater community, and build prosperity.

For over two decades, Dr. Andy Anderson has helped dozens of veterinarians on the path to prosperity, translating for colleagues the language of business, money, and life. Written for veterinarians, by veterinarians, The Prosperous Veterinarian presents a new vision for the profession we love. To all current and future veterinarians, please know you can:

* Build a practice that you have ownership in.

* Invest intelligently in the public equity market.

* Own and benefit from commercial properties.

* Generate passive cash-flow from savings, investments, practices, and ventures beyond veterinary medicine.

* Enjoy the non-financial aspects of prosperity, such as living a Purpose-based life, building a family, having long-term friendships, being anchored in faith and spirituality, and giving back.

* Be happier and prosperous.
