Are You Driving Yourself or Driving Miss Daisy in 2014?
As the owner of your legal nurse consulting business there are so many doors open to you that aren’t open to RNs in the hospital. Why? Because as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant you’re in the driver’s seat.
Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, Wendy Augello, RN, BSN, CLNC shared, “I feel like a door is opening. It is up to me to take the steps and walk through the door. I have spent my whole career being told what to do but feeling like I had very little power to control my destiny. I have always strived for excellence but have often felt discouraged. Working every weekend and most holidays, I can look back to over 20 years of missed moments with my family. I felt like my life was slipping by, and for what? A pin, a bad back and sore feet. From this day forward, it is up to me. I will fail at times. I will make mistakes. But I will also learn. I will grow. I WILL SUCCEED!”
As Wendy suggests, we are so privileged to be in that driver’s seat that it is almost criminal to be in anything other than a state of gratitude. Many days my reality is that being a CEO doesn’t mean “Chief Executive Officer.” It means “Controlled Entirely by Others” or “Chief Everything Officer.” When I have days like that, I have to remind myself to get back into the driver’s seat and kick it into gear. I love that I still get to learn and grow. Yes, I will and still do make mistakes too, but after all – that’s why I launched my legal nurse consulting business to begin with.
What about you for 2014? Are you driving yourself or just driving Miss Daisy?
