Vickie Milazzo's Thoughts for Success

Thoughts for Success: Here’s the Greatest Risk of All

As the owner of my legal nurse consulting business I’m an entrepreneur and entrepreneurs are known to be risk-takers. I admit I probably fall into that category. I’ve been taking risks for more than three decades now, so taking risks feels as natural as putting a hospital corner on my bed when making it.

Six years into my RN job at the hospital I craved something different. I wanted to start my own business as a legal nurse consultant. This was risky – after all, no one was doing it yet. What made me think I could succeed? I knew there was no guarantee of success, but I also knew that if I didn’t get out of hospital nursing and start taking risks, testing who I was, and what I was capable of becoming, that inaction would actually be my greatest risk in life.

Yes, I succeeded as a legal nurse consultant, but like anyone, I sure don’t have a 100% track record of succeeding with every risk I’ve taken. But one thing I know for certain – I won’t go down as risking never taking a risk.

I’m Just Sayin’

P.S. Comment and share the risks you’ve taken as an RN.

  1. Well said and so true!
    I just accepted my first case – and all due to me taking a risk!
    Thank you Vickie for sharing your stories and supplying much-needed support and humor!

  2. Vickie,
    I am so glad you took those risks, because I am here because of you.
    Thanks

    1. Had more to say about taking risks. I took a risk to start the CLNC® business and I’m glad I did because my life is less stressful and I’m looking forward to success. It not only takes risks but also a sacrifice to build the business where I want it to go. The sacrifice is time and money to get there. I thought about time; whether I was working full-time or part-time in clinical nursing, I chose to sacrifice time spent with family to market and work with attorneys on cases. The rewards are more than just money (and we all like money). I cannot measure the feelings I have reporting to an attorney on his or her cases.
