Paule, how profound! As I was reading the GPS message Vickie was sharing with us, my mind immediately went to “the Still Small Voice of God!” I accept it as, “God Pointing me Softly.” If I keep faith, keep working, have the coffee brewing, machines humming(fax, PC) and be ready when my doors open in the mornings for my attorney-clients I know I am going to accomplish my goal!

Hi Vickie, I agonized over whether to take the leap to Legal Nurse Consulting. Like so many of my peers in nursing, I have seen the changes, many of them prohibitive, that have been the catalyst for my 'leap' this year. I signed up for the VIP CLNC^® Business System and will see you at the CLNC^® 6-Day Certification Seminar and 2-Day NACLNC^® Apprenticeship in Chicago from 5/11 through 5/18.......I'm at peace, thanks.

I too am directionally challenged so I need a GPS system to get around places physically, my GPS is my husband. He can usually get me out of anything. With my CLNC^® business, I am on my own (with the exception of Vickie Milazzo Institute). My inner GPS system is telling me to stay focused and complete one goal at a time. Thanks for trying to keep us ALL on target.

I am an upcoming CLNC^® consultant (May 11-15) in Chicago. Being a full-time staff nurse at the hospital and with the present economical cuts at work (cancellations each pay period), my inner voice is telling me go forward with a new CLNC^® business and plan. I welcome the change and will need a lot of encouragement. Thank you for this opportunity of networking!

I can't remember the last time my inner GPS failed me in both my personal and professional life. I was listening to my inner GPS for my CLNC^® business when I recently upgraded to the VIP CLNC^® Success System. Even in the current economy, upgrading made smart business sense. The VIP benefits are certainly worth the expense (especially the mentoring) as I navigate the road of CLNC^® success.

I like your metaphor. I call my inner GPS the still, small voice of God. The directions I receive on how to reach my goal are not always how I planned to get there, but, hey, I always get my desired outcome. Awesome, isn’t it? I get what you are saying totally. Thanks so much for continuing to share of your wisdom. You are the Best!

Good morning Vickie!

As always you speak to my heart and your business navigation tips have proven to be incredibly valuable.

I have committed to a flexible GPS CLNC^® practice. My business has traveled in the carpool lane for quite a few years, but a couple of years ago it began to shift to the far right hand lane. I had to allow for those on and off ramps and adjust my speed accordingly. Now, don’t get any wrong ideas, it wasn’t easy making lane changes; I was enjoying the fast pace. But, I am proud to say that remaining flexible has proven to be a strong business practice.

Navigating the traffic, on and off ramps and changing lanes has provided a new sense of direction, welcomed new business and kept my business moving in the fast lane. The lessons I learned from my business shift were to remain steadfast to my vision, uphold my integrity, accept change and continue to take daily action steps. But isn’t this just another way of saying, “Stay flexible!”?

Thank you Vickie for your commitment to CLNC^® consultants and providing valuable business probes and tips.

My inner GPS tells me to depend on the CLNC^® Mentors and head for the Core Curriculum for Legal Nurse Consulting^® textbook when anything new happens in my legal nurse consulting business. I plan for as much as I can by setting up the systems that Vickie has recommended, so that I am not caught off guard when an attorney calls. I was talking to another CLNC^® consultant and sharing with her that I would not be as far along in my business had I gone in another direction. I share with other nurses who are considering legal nurse consulting that Vickie's CLNC^® Certification Program is the 5-star standard and the one that others try to emulate. Vickie gives us the tools to improve any area of our business and to build up any weaknesses that hold us back from moving forward. The 2-Day NACLNC^® Apprenticeship materials and of course the Core are invaluable. On a personal note, my husband spends most of his days outdoors as a full time rancher. He never gets lost. He knows the mountains in the Southwest like the back of his hand. But you get him in town or even Walmart, and he loses all sense of direction. If I don't remember where the car is parked, then we are both looking for it.

My family has always told me that I couldn’t find my way out of a paper bag, and they are totally right. But just like you Vickie, my husband has an inherent 6th sense, his sense of direction.

When it comes to my new CLNC^® business though, I am using Vickie Milazzo Institute as my North Star so I can stay on track!
