From High Income to High Net Worth, second edition, by Dr. David Phelps
The real transition

Income is powerful. It is not independence.

A successful practice can produce an exceptional income while leaving your time, security, and future tied to continued production.

This book reframes wealth as control: control of your capital, your calendar, and the choices available to your family.

Inside the book

A blueprint for moving beyond earned income.

Clear principles for high-income professionals who want to build assets and cash flow outside their primary business—without adding a second full-time job.

01

Build your personal wealth blueprint

Define what freedom actually requires, then align capital and decisions around that destination.

02

Separate income from lasting wealth

Understand why a strong paycheck can conceal concentration, dependency, and a lack of financial control.

03

Evaluate investments beyond the ticker symbol

Learn a grounded framework for examining real assets, cash flow, people, structure, and risk.

04

Use leverage with intention

See how thoughtful leverage may accelerate equity and cash-flow growth—and why discipline matters.

05

Create more choice with your time

Connect wealth-building decisions to the larger goal: becoming less dependent on constant production.

Dr. David Phelps
Meet the author

Dr. David Phelps learned that freedom cannot wait.

When his daughter faced a life-threatening illness, David stepped away from clinical dentistry in his forties. The experience sharpened a conviction that had been forming for years: wealth should serve your life—not consume it.

Today, he helps practice owners and high-income professionals rethink the traditional retirement model and build toward greater financial, time, and relationship freedom.
