Dr. Stillson is an author, blogger, and rural family physician in Indiana. He owns & operates 9 small businesses.

Growth

I am excited to make some growth-related transitions for my followers in order to meet your micro-business needs.

I will be combining forces with my free content-driven site called Dr. Incorporated with my newly revised membership-based micro-business support site at SimpliMD. This will broaden the number of self-guided resources available to you at both sites. This change was needed as many of you have reached out to me to request a broader menu of support options that go beyond information.

I have heard your requests, and have begun the transformation journey.

The Truth Blog

One significant change will be the transitioning of the publication of my communications and blogs from Dr. Incorporated to SimpliMD. So if you note that the emails are now coming from a different source than constant contact, that is the reason.

In addition to this, due to reader feedback, I will be broadening my posts to 5 posts/week that will be shorter but cover a broader range of topics pertinent to physicians as micro-businesses.

  • “Is That Deductible?” This will include personal stories & experiences about running my businesses, enterprise, life, family, travel, health, etc.

  • “Stop The Insanity”. This will be excerpts & talking points from my best-selling book “Doctor Incorporated: Stop The Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy”

  • “It Takes A Village” Here I will re-post blogs from other writers & provide guest posts with a primary focus on physicians working on their micro-business and personal financial competency in the following areas:

    • Professional Autonomy

    • Personal Finance

    • Micro-Corporation Concepts

    • Tax Issues

    • Business Competency

    • FatFIRE

    • Business Enterprise

    • Residents & Fellows Insights 

  • “Business School” I will continue to inform and inspire you with a wide variety of micro-business subjects that will all be connected to free and purchasable resources at the SimpliMD and Dr. Incorporated sites.

  • “Coaches Corner” I will provide coaching points associated with doctor coaching calls, SimpliMD client success stories about the journey to independence as a micro-corporation and this will also include the highly popular new series called “Walk In Your Shoes” where John & Cheyenne Stillson share about their experiences during residency.

SimpliMD Changes

SimpliMD is undergoing massive changes in order to better support your needs for a comprehensive menu of resources to support your micro-business journey.

I have joined the Kajabi online business community and invite you to do the same here. You will given a free 30-day trial of this innovative knowledge community that many of you could use for creating health-related courses and content for those who would benefit from your knowledge.

Supporting Your Journey To Micro-Business Competency

Through my new SimpliMD Kajabi website and CRM, I will be able to efficiently provide you with a vast array of free & paid content for you that will support your journey to small business competency.

Quite honestly, this has become my retirement-based passion project ( I will FIRE in June of 2024!). This is because I truly believe one of the fundamental systemic changes that need to happen to stem the burnout crisis is to empower doctors to preserve their professional autonomy through a micro-corporation. How do I know this? Because it has been my personal experience that I chronicle in my best-selling book “Doctor Incorporated: Stop The Insanity of Traditional Employment and Preserve Your Professional Autonomy”

In the process of writing the book and then after speaking to scores of doctors who have reached out to me after reading the book I have come to realize that many of you are hungry for alternatives & resources that will empower you to avoid broken status quo system that is rigged against you.

A Practical Business School

But the gap is that you need practical micro-business knowledge that doesn’t require you to get an MBA.

I have decided to take what I have learned through my own small business experience as a micro-corporation and build a community of mutually supportive physicians who desire to grow in their small business competency.

Our tribe tends to be self-sufficient, life-long pursuers of knowledge, and are often inspired by peer-based experiential learning.

But given the time demands of our training and then life as an attending physician, it is difficult to find time to pursue practical business knowledge in a business knowledge world that operates under “banker hours”.

Community Is The Cornerstone

My re-vamped site will encourage your journey through membership in a community of like-minded doctors. Here you will be able to pick and choose from an array of free and purchasable resources that will help build your micro-business competency.

You will be able to pick and choose resources that match your need as well as access them in your SimpliMD member library in a way that matches your schedule.

Fundamentally my goal will be to support your journey to micro-business competency and I will do it through 5 basic channels:

  • Community When you become a member of our SimpliMD community you will find a supportive group of physicians who collaboratively come alongside you to support your journey to business competency. The age-old medical model of “see one, do one, teach one” will be brought to life through a community of co-learners that is led by an experienced physician who is passionate about sharing what he has learned (me!).

  • Content. I will provide a regular flow of free and purchasable content that will inspire and inform you through my blog, book, e-books, webinars, and landing pages on the site.

  • Courses I am excited to begin producing course-based learning for you that provides you with practical knowledge about the next steps. Please note these are currently under construction, but I will be diligently working on getting these up and running as soon as possible. They will include the following 4 courses:

  • Coaching This has bubbled up as a significant need among many of you, as you feel the need for holistic micro-business coaching that supports your individual journey. Thus I have created several options for you to consider that range from 4 sessions to 12 sessions. Again this is under construction on the site, but the bones of it are in place, and you are invited to consider joining me by signing up to be coached.

  • Consultation I will continue to provide business consultation services for you for a host of micro-business needs ranging from helping you start your own professional micro-corporation to all the way up to our comprehensive SimpliMD employment lite product that is the best option for working for a large corporate employer WITHOUT being their employee. (this option is hidden from view for most of you).
