Episode 7: After School with Dr. Lona Cook

Dr. Lona Cook is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as Northwestern Health Sciences University for her Doctorate of Chiropractic. She is the author of the book “Just Tell Me Where To Start - Insight on Blasting into Chiropractic Practice” in which she details how she paid of all of her student loans in exactly 2 years.

In my interview with her we talk about:

• How did you manage to pay off $150,000 of loan debt in 2 years?
• Why weren't you content just doing what everyone else does and sticking to the 10 year plan?
• What was the feeling like that month after you had paid off your loans? You had an extra $10,000 in expendable income!
• What should students do right now to prepare for practice?
• How do you manage to afford technique seminars and extra courses while in school?
• How did you provide for yourself during those 6 months post graduation?
• Is paying off your loans early dependent on a high volume principle based practice?

You can download Just Tell Me Where to Start on the iTunes Bookstore, or Smashwords
