Comments on: Promise 2: I Will Go for Legal Nurse Consulting or Reject It Outright http://www.legalnurse.com/vickiesblog/2009/07/promise-2-i-will-go-for-legal-nurse-consulting-or-reject-it-outright/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:02:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Effie Pittman http://www.legalnurse.com/vickiesblog/2009/07/promise-2-i-will-go-for-legal-nurse-consulting-or-reject-it-outright/comment-page-1/#comment-2016 Effie Pittman Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:00:58 +0000 http://legalnurse.com/vickiesblog/?p=3999#comment-2016 I love the business and work...but I have to admit selling and convincing someone that you are what they need is sometimes frustrating. Especially if you don't get hits with great efforts and time put forth. I think it is just I have always been the consumer in regards to jobs in health care and frankly, I expect attorneys to see it this way also. They need me is, what I think and why are they so stubborn about realizing that. So I am going for it outright....solicit, promote, educate, and even proposition if needed to prove my abilities everyday!

As I encounter more entrepreneurs I understand how this can be applied to business in general as well as to Legal Nurse Consulting. If more people adopted this principle they would be feel more fulfilled with their business and it would be moving in the direction which they envision. I use Promise #2 to decide which cases I will take or not. If it doesn't feel right I move and don't commiserate over a decision. Thank you Vickie for reminding us of Promise #2.

But, as Vickie taught us, actions DO speak louder than the words or thoughts we have about what we want in a CLNC<sup>®</sup> business. Putting those words into action is key in order to actually DO and succeed. I continue to work in a full-time nursing position since completing my CLNC<sup>®</sup> Certification last September. And in addition to that, I am working to build my CLNC<sup>®</sup> business one new step each day. This means I have outlined a plan taking action daily in meeting my goal of going full-time as a CLNC<sup>®</sup> consultant. So how do you do it while continuing to work full-time? (And don't we all need to work full-time right now with this economy while starting our CLNC<sup>®</sup> business?) Well, for me it means working on marketing during my one hour lunch breaks and in the evenings doing reading from my <em>Core</em> and Apprenticeship textbooks to enhance what I have already taken steps to do. It means taking PTO time from my full-time job to attend IME's and work on cases that present themselves AS they present themselves (not always when you expect them to) instead of taking a vacation this year. It means being flexible and open-minded and not just thinking or dreaming about my CLNC<sup>®</sup> business, but never forgetting to TAKE that one action step a day. It's all about effort for me and Vickie's DO IT OR REJECT IT OUTRIGHT STEP has given me a vision in effort on my part and to own my personal CLNC<sup>®</sup> goal plan.
