From Zero Points to South Africa in Business in Just 12 Months with Dr. Lisha Taylor
Episode Description
This week, we’re joined by a personal finance expert who has only recently harnessed the power of transforming her expenses into wish-list travel experiences through credit card points. In less than a year, she’s made significant progress and even utilized points to book a family trip to South Africa.
Dr. Lisha Taylor is a wealth strategist, “doctorpreneur,” professional writer, and podcaster, advocating for physician wellness through financial literacy. As a Board Certified Primary Care Sports Physician, she’s also the co-founder of Wealth Minded MD, a company and podcast that empowers women in medicine to build wealth and create the lives they desire.
Initially, Dr. Taylor navigated the common uncertainties many have when starting with credit card points. Now, points have become a key component of her wealth strategy. Tune in this week to learn how Dr. Taylor’s engagement with Points Made Easy has unlocked new travel opportunities by leveraging her everyday expenses, even though she doesn’t see herself as what she would call a big spender.
