    Dr. Maiysha Clairborne and Dr. Mani Saint-Victor –

    You have to get your mind right

     

    We talk with Drs. Clairborne & Saint-Victor about how their unique backgrounds in medicine have led them to create this transformational retreat.

    Dr. Clairborne relates how her early career experiences led her to burnout and to almost take her own life before discovering her own path.

    Dr. Saint-Victor talks about how immigrant parental pressure guided his early career in medicine and caused his own internal struggles around identity, and cultural, and familial expectations.

    Dr. Clairborne practices integrative medicine and has training in acupuncture, coaching, neurolinguistic programming, hypnotherapy and focuses primarily on getting to the root of people’s problems and not just focusing on clinical symptoms. Through this process she helps people change their behavior to be able to change their lives and outcomes.

    Dr. Saint-Victor has a background in psychiatry and computer programming and has a long-standing fascination with the way a computer works, juxtaposed with how the human brain works. With this background he helps physicians use mental models to create an identity that is not just wrapped up in being a physician.

    The Mind Re-Mapping and Manifestation Retreat –

    Change cannot occur until your thought process changes.

    Removing self doubt, imposter syndrome, the same obstacles reappearing over and over again in your life, defining and reaching fulfillment in your life, and how to remove the blind spots that may be holding you back are all areas that will be tackled during this retreat.

    How does the pattern of being a physician affect how we view the world and interact with others? And does that in some ways limit us?

    During this retreat you will -

    1)     Reconnect with yourself

    2)     Get clarity on what you want out of life

    3)     Act towards your goals and eliminate your fears

    4)     Reconnect and discover your deepest values

    5)     Remove the negative thoughts and negative self-talk

    6)     Increase your performance in your given arena

    [gravityform id=24 title=false description=false ajax=true tabindex=49]


    Ep. 033 – W-2 Employee Tax Savings Strategies (also for Self Employed/1099 workers) (Video Podcast)

    Today on the Physician’s Road podcast we talk about a Tax Savings strategy that even W-2 employed workers can use along with self employed business owners and 1099 workers. It has the double benefit of being great for the environment as well.

    So you can do well, why you do good at the same time. So get out a pen and paper because you’ll want to take notes on this important topic.

    In this Episode you will learn:

    What is conservation easement and how can you use it to help the environment and save on taxes at the same time.

    Why the IRS is coming after unscrupulous operators in the industry and how to avoid companies that run afoul of the rules.

    Learn what you need to ask operators of Conservation Easements to ensure that they are running them in compliance with IRS guidelines.

    Learn what the Conservation Easement Audit Techniques guide is and how it is used to determine the validity of an Easement.

    Learn about the 2 aspects that the IRS looks at when looking at Conservation Easements.

    -         Technical Aspects

    -         Appraisal value

    The present value of future profit and how that process creates a charitable deduction above the level of investment made.

    What is the process of creating an IRS compliant conservation easement?

    1)     Physically Possible

    2)     Legally Permissible

    3)     Financially feasible

    4)     Maximally productive

    Some conservation easements are registered through FINRA so they are highly regulated when provided by the best operators.

    Why a Conservation Easement will not trigger an audit on your personal tax return.

    Does the Conservation Easement company protect themselves and their investors from the IRS and what is their process of defending their projects?

    How you can use this to reduce your taxable income up to 50% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).

    How you can carry forward any excess deduction for 15 years into the future.

    How you can use a ROTH conversion in combination with a conservation easement to move your money from a tax deferred status to a tax free status.

    How state tax can also be mitigated through a C.E. program

    How using a C.E. can bring you back into the QBI (qualified business income) 199A tax bracket especially if you are in high tax states like New York, California, Minnesota, etc…

    Here is a Webinar on the benefits of participating in a Conservation Easement Program.
