Here's What Holds Most People Back:
Costly Mistakes

Going 1099 is a BIG DEAL.

This Program is Right
For You If:
You're curious about 1099 work but have no idea where to start.
You want something different because you're ready for more control
You're overwhelmed by business terminology and tired of feeling left behind.
You want the basics without all the extra toppings
You'd rather avoid expensive mistakes
You're ready to stop Googling and start building
You want a seat at the table where decisions about YOUR career are made.
Why This Program Exists
Most physicians and healthcare professionals weren't taught anything about business. Sure, we were taught how to run a code, but not how to run our careers.
When we start exploring 1099 work, we encounter terminology that feels foreign. Questions that make no sense. Decisions that seem very high-stakes.
I'm Ann Jones. I'm a physician, MBA, and an owner of multiple businesses since 2003.
I remember what it was like at the beginning. The overwhelm. The fear of looking foolish. And the constant worry about making expensive, life-changing mistakes.
Here's the truth: Nobody taught us this in medical school.
Business 101 was not a prerequisite for our professional training.
But here's the good news: You don't need an MBA. You just need the basics.
I created the 1099 Startup Experience because physicians and healthcare professionals deserve straightforward answers to their questions so they can have the confidence to make informed decisions about their careers.
This program is designed to give them both: the practical tools to get the ball rolling, and the mindset shifts that will change how they navigate their businesses, careers, and their lives.
If you're ready to reclaim control of your career, I'll show you how.

FAQs
What if I can't make a live session?
All live sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours. While attending live allows you to ask questions in real time, many participants successfully complete the program using recordings. You can also submit questions in advance.
Do I need to have my LLC already set up?
No. In fact, many people join specifically because they want guidance on whether they even need an LLC and if so, how to set one up correctly. We start from the very beginning.
Is this right for me if I'm still W-2 full time?
Absolutely. Many participants are W-2 physicians and healthcare professionals who are exploring their options. Understanding how 1099 careers work - before you make any changes - puts you in a much stronger position to make informed decisions about your career.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
You get 12 months of ongoing support. This includes access to updated materials, access to the platform, and connection to the community of physicians who've gone through the program. The transition doesn't end at week 4.
How long is the program?
The program has 4 parts which we will achieve over 5 weeks. There is a lot to cover - so the extra time is built in after week two to make that easier for you.
What if I can't finish in 4 weeks?
Not a problem at all. This is designed to help YOU. There are no grades, class rankings, or board exams at the end of this. You have a full year with the material and a lot of support to get you what you need.
What if I decide 1099 work isn't right for me?
That's a valuable outcome. Many physicians discover that 1099 work isn't the right fit for their current situation - and that's exactly the kind of informed decision we want you to be able to make. Understanding your options is never wasted.
Do you offer payment plans?
A 2-payment option is available through February 17, 2026. You will see the option availability in the drop-down menu on the payment landing page.
What makes this different from a regular business course?
This program is built specifically for physicians and healthcare professionals. We focus on the real questions you're asking, not abstract business concepts. Everything is practical, actionable, and designed for people who didn't go to business school.
Can't I just get this information from the library or YouTube?
Absolutely. I have dozens of business books lining my shelves and most were just confusing noise with far more information than I needed. What you can't get from books or YouTube is healthcare -specific guidance and the brain work that actually moves you from thinking to doing.
What if I have more questions are reading the FAQs?
