A virtual office is the best of both worlds.
Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:
It gives you the face and the branding that you need to appear legitimate, but with the flexibility and capabilities to work virtually. You can still have a secretary, state-of-the-are conference rooms and a commercial address without a ton of overhead expense, all you need is a virtual office. I love my virtual office in all respects except one: I love being around people and the virtual office lacks the casual interactions and needed distractions of interacting with others. Going to the coffee shop doesn't solve this issue because all the people in there are disconnected and in their own worlds. In other words, they have no relationship, comraderie or caring for each other that co-workers generally have. Delete the scoop?

Defying conventional wisdom, debt ranked lowest as a factor for medical school graduates in choosing a specialty, says an AAMC survey.
Dr Veronica Anderson's insight:
Most of us come into medical training having a pretty solid idea of the areas of practice that interest us. I knew I was going to do a specialty that involved surgery. I like to operate. What does that say about my personality? Lifestyle consideration were also huge for me as I decided my speciality would have to allow me enough leeway to have a family and see them. The top two factors that students listed as having a “strong” or “moderate” influence on their choice of specialty were personality fit and the content of the specialty, with 98% listing both of those. Three-quarters of students — who could select as many items as they believed were applicable — cited the influence of role models and work-life balance as significant factors. Delete the scoop?

This is what we all already know-we hate those ads we are forced to watch for 15-30 secs before we see the video we want. Its the same reason that we DVR shows or buy the season and watch it all at the same time.
We don't mind watching the ads of our choosing and feel more favorable about the companies ads we choose and are more likely to buy.
This is the concept of "pull" marketing verses 'push' marketing which is one reason that social media is so effective. With pul marketing the consumer that is your niche has already found and chosen you. Delete the scoop?
