The PEA-SimpliMD Digest: This Week in Micro-Business Oct 19 – 25, 2025
A Note from Tod
It’s been a full week in our physician-entrepreneur community. Each story we explored points to one truth—you don’t need to work harder to thrive; you just need to work smarter as a business owner.
Wherever you are in your journey—employed, contracting, or transitioning—remember: autonomy starts when you see yourself as both healer and entrepreneur.
Quote of the Week
“You don’t need to earn more to grow wealth, you just need to keep more of what’s already yours.” — Tod Stillson, MD
