When we meet or read about a successful person we’re often curious “What’s the big thing she did to succeed?” I was asked this very question by a national TV anchor and I really, really wanted to say something profound in response.
Two years into her business as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, Michelle Neal, RN, BSN, CLNC shares how she did it while raising 2-year-old twin daughters. I’m a twin myself and Mom always said Vince and I were double trouble, so I was intrigued to learn how Michelle pulled this off. In this video she describes three strategies she executed faithfully: focus, confidence and commitment.
My office officially opens for business at 8:00am. In anticipation, by 7:50 there’s a hoard of marauders forming outside my office door; employees asking for my input on projects, directors telling me they can’t meet a deadline and the occasional random person who’s walked in off the street wanting to know if they’re in the right place for Cirque du Soleil tickets (I’ll be the first to admit my office can often be a circus, but not that kind of circus. LOL!).
Just like Certified Legal Nurse Consultants, phones are getting smarter and smarter. Sometimes they’re too smart for our own good. If properly set up and enabled, your iPhone can review your legal nurse consulting business’s calendar, and theoretically check the current traffic to remind you when it’s time to leave for an appointment with your favorite attorney-client.
A new Certified Legal Nurse Consultant should never be intimidated or embarrassed to talk about her CLNC business. The most successful CLNC consultants are the first to say, “I tell everyone about what I do. It is not a secret or something to hide.”
I thrive on motion. I love imagining a new project and moving it along to the finish line. A finish line is, however nothing more than an illusion, for there is no such thing as a finish line in life.
Are you curious whether you’ve got what it takes to become a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant? That’s a fair question to ask yourself because legal nurse consulting is not right for everyone.
Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Keitha Giannella, RN, MSN, PHN, CLNC shares her experience of exhibiting with the CLNC Marketing Mentors at a national legal conference. Near the close of the exhibits, Keitha realized she had door prizes she had not yet given away to attorney-prospects.
People often ask me, “Vickie, if you knew then, what you know now, would you have started your legal nurse consulting business in 1982?” Depending on the day of the week my answer ranges from “Absolutely!” to “Absolutely not!”
Every guy I know takes a different route to Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport and none of them check the traffic or construction reports before they go. I jump on the 59 and make a straight run. My best friend takes I-45 despite its twists, turns and speed traps. A car service driver I know takes a combination of the 59, I-45, the 610 Loop, Hardy Toll Road and JFK Boulevard, sometimes even running through downtown if he perceives there will be traffic issues (which his perception always makes a reality).
