The Little Drummer Boy: All Gifts Are to Be Honored
Even if you haven’t seen the animated special, you’ve probably heard the story or the song. But here’s a recap if you’re unaware: The three Wise Men and the shepherds are heading to see the Baby Jesus, and the little drummer boy comes along for the ride. He is embarrassed when he has no gift to offer the newborn Savior.
Finally, he learns that his only skill – playing his drum – is enough.
Maybe you’ve felt this way: You take a skills assessment or strengths finder, or ask your friends and family what they turn to you for. The answers are less than stellar. Instead of being a powerhouse leader, or an inspiration, you come up as a great administrator, or… the Drummer Boy equivalent of today, a good listener.

1) You’d like to provide great (content/training/education) [insert your noun of choice here] to your customers. (This is a given, right?)
2) You’d also like to be seen as an ‘expert’ in your field. (Who doesn’t?)
3) You’d like to find free and low-cost ways to promote your products and services. (Ummm, yes, pleeeeez!)
4) You’d like to increase your business’ overall visibility. (See comment above.)

Great profile, in The Gulf Coast Business Review of Nevco, a business pioneered by a nurse and her son, an attorney.
They started out as a humble Dial-A-Nurse service and have expanded into a large international nursing educational material provider.
Excellent profile and great take-aways!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments box?
Any of you thinking of providing educational materials for other nurses? Let me know, I can put you in touch with some highly professional educational material packagers and distributors.
Cheers,
Anna
