The PEA Saturday Digest: Nov 16–22, 2025— This Week in Micro-Business

Some weeks carry a theme you can feel more than name. This one revealed a through-line every physician-micro-business owner eventually confronts: freedom begins when you stop waiting for systems to protect you and start acting like the architect of your professional life.

If you've been sensing that you're meant for more control, more clarity, more say—this is your reminder that nothing changes until you take the first step.

Inspirational Quote from This Week’s Posts

“Your professional freedom isn’t protected by a title, a contract, or a tax form—it’s protected by your willingness to think and act like an owner.”
