Caring. Creating. Cultivating Abundance.
Being FABULOUS is hard work. - Author Unknown
Every day we work. We work, We help. We create. We are FABULOUS.
And darn it, being fabulous is hard work!
So what do you do when your body is dragging, your mind is depleted, and your internal tank is flat outta gas?

Okay, so after about 10 hours stiffening into stone sitting in front of a computer screen, I finally decided to get up and move inside, away from reading anything about healthcare. I want light, mindless entertainment. So I flop down on the couch and pick up the remote to begin scanning tonight’s programs. I click through the stations like a man. But the remote always returns to the same station.
Oh God! Grey’s Anatomy. I love Grey’s Anatomy. Why do I love it? There’s nothing like it in the real world. But that’s why I love it. It’s so romantic. It paints such heroes. Heroes I believed in when I was a teenager. Doctors who fall apart when a patient dies, doctors who smooth a patient’s brow for long minutes, doctors who forego dinner at the local pub with their friends in order to play checkers with a patient…..What?
In case you haven’t noticed, life moves fast. It also doesn’t seem to matter whether you are a brick-and-mortar or an on-line biz, shortage of time is a constant battle. A million things tug at you all day long, but at the end of the day you still need to find the time to market your business.
Email marketing is one of those valuable tools that allows you to market to prospective customers without breaking the bank. But that too can be a time sucker if you don’t utilize the proper “helper tools” like Autoresponders. Autoresponders are like your own personal assistant, but one that never needs vacation or a break!

Guest Post by LeaRae Keyes, Founder of the www.Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com
There are more and more nurses leaving bedside nursing and starting their own businesses. Have you wondered if this is something you should be considering? This isn’t necessarily the answer for every nurse. Before you make this decision, think about the questions that follow:

Hey guys, on Monday I introduced you to Keith Carlson, one of my co-hosts on RN.FM Radio. Today, I’d like to introduce you to my other partner in crime, Kevin Ross from InnovativeNurse.com.
Kevin is our no-nonsense, tech-savvy, won’t settle for anything less than the very best kind of nurse entrepreneur….and we love him for it!
Here’s Kevin’s motto:
Seek every opportunity for continuing education. A business can never afford to be static. Innovation is the key to success and it is a delicate combination of ever-changing art and science.
He is an ultra-innovative, self-starter and always has his “head on a swivel,” as he likes to say. Early in his professional career he realized that if he wasn’t working his passion and living up to his potential…he was just existing and ‘getting by’…that’s painful for some of us to recognize….and it was a painful realization for him as well.
By digging deep and identifying his passion and then strategically pursuing it, Kevin was able to achieve a level of wellness, career satisfaction and purpose that few achieve.

Thinking about writing a book? Think no more. It has become easier for nurses (and anyone with a message) to share it with the world than ever before.
Self-publishing technology has literally leveled the playing field.
No more facing rejections from traditional book publishers. You are now in the driver’s seat and you can…plan, schedule, write, publish and promote your own book, easier and cheaper than ever before.
How do I know?
My first book, ‘5 Things They Never Told You in Nursing School,’ was completely self-published, self-promoted via Social Media and hit #1 on Amazon in the Nursing category in under 11 hours on December 11, 2011… That’s how I know it can be done.
(That’s also why from that day on, 11 has been my lucky number! Sorry 34, you were really good to me for a long time, but 11 is my new sweetheart now…ahhh, but I digress…)

Andrew Lopez found himself spending hours on the Internet looking for additional resources as part of his nursing school projects and was unable to find what he wanted. What started as a frustration in nursing school, soon became an outlet for him to help fellow nurses and students and provide a great income for himself…Andrew’s Nurse Friendly Directories were born.
Do you have a frustration or maybe a passion that might be an answer to a nursing business opportunity?
The Nurse Friendly Directories is a place for nurses and anyone looking for information about nursing as a career path, nursing schools, nurse entrepreneurship, career alternatives, articles written by nurses, nursing specialties, business opportunities for nurses, the various diseases patients encounter and much more.
So many of us are looking for ways to make more money while we are working as a nurse.

Hey guys! So, it’s a new year and that means I’ve decided to start a new tradition here at “I Coach Nurses.” At least once, maybe twice a week, I’ll be featuring a ‘column’ called “Nurse Entrepreneurs To Watch” (NETW for short) that will feature nurses out there pioneering their own way and acting as a role model for other nurses, making a huge difference in peoples’ lives, and making a nice chunk of change for themselves: win-win-win. I hope you guys like the new column and pay attention to the way these nurses think, act and conduct their business. There’s a lot of great stuff to be learned from people out there doing it right! So, without further ado….enjoy!

Once in awhile you come across news that stirs your heart or stories that motivate you to do and be more. As nurses, in our pressurized and challenging environments, our days are sometimes filled with mundane tasks and endless demands which leave us tired and unmotivated.
Some of us want ‘out,’ yet it’s easy to get complacent. After all, nursing is still highly in demand and our pay is relatively high when compared to many other professions.
So how do you stay motivated if all around you are tired nurses, demanding bosses and sick patients?
