Mon, 16 June 2008 This week's Entrepreneurial MD Podcast is on an intriguing and obscure topic - previously unknown to me, and to many physicians I suspect. Are you an owner or even part-owner of a commercial medical office building? In a podcast interview with Cherie Brown of Cost Segregation Services Inc (CSSI), I learned that there are relatively new accounting regulations that permit a commercial business owner paying income taxes to accelerate the depreciation on the building, thereby freeing up lots more available cash flow each month. From their website:
Although this may sound like dry "accounting-ese", I hope that the idea of saving beacoup bucks is catching your attention! In order to qualify for cost segregation, you need an engineer's report that details all the specifics of your building - carpeting, cabinetry, wall attachments, walls, floors, ceilings etc! That is where CSSI comes in - they are the engineering company that generates the report for your CPA. The good news is that Cherie is a capable translator, who manages to make an arcane topic understandable. Questions, anyone?? :-) When done listening, please rejoin us at The Entrepreneurial MD Blog with your comments. |
Tue, 10 June 2008  In response to demand, and hot on the heels of our popular May teleclass on Internet Marketing 101 for Physician Entrepreneurs (how to create an effective website!), I interviewed Shama Hyder of AfterTheLaunch for this week's podcast.Internet Marketing expert Shama has mastered the skill of making tough technical ideas seem easy to understand! In the podcast, I explore with Shama just what SEO (search engine optimization) is, and why it matters to any medical or physician website owner who wants to be found on the Web through the search engines by potential patients or clients. Shama generously shares the simpler optimization tips that even non-techies can implement (such as using your best key words and phrases in your content and in your article or blog post titles). Listen here to The Entrepreneurial MD podcast, and then please go back to The Entrepreneurial MD Blog to comment or ask questions. Comments[0] |
Mon, 2 June 2008  Jeffrey Segal MD is a fierce watch dog, always on guard against medical injustice. As the CEO and founder of Medical Justice, he holds his company responsible for helping preserve the reputations and sanity of his 1700+ physician subscribers, in a healthcare system gone crazy with often frivolous and meritless lawsuits. Jeff is now a true serial entrepreneur, having started DarPharma, Inc, a biotechnology company in Chapel Hill, N.C., focused on the discovery and development of first-of-class pharmaceuticals for neuropsychiatric disorders. Why Medical Justice? As a practicing neurosurgeon, Dr. Segal recognized the pain that lawsuits caused for his colleagues, and then experienced first hand the anguish of being sued himself. His frustration at the lopsidedness of a justice system that made it easy for lawyers to file suits against physicians without much consequence spawned the birth of the ideas behind his company. Listen to this week's podcast as the articulate and passionate Dr. Segal describes the path his company has taken to date, and how he sees the vision for the business evolving. And then please share your thoughts at The Entrepreneurial MD Blog. |
