Don’t Let the Details Take the Wind Out of Your Legal Nurse Consulting Sails

Don’t Let the Details Take the Wind Out of Your Legal Nurse Consulting Sails

I just mentored a very successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Her issue: she loves being a CLNC® consultant and the freedom that comes with it, but the operational part of her business sometimes takes the wind right out of her sails. The parts she enjoys include the marketing, working with her attorney-clients and locating experts, but the processes necessary to keep her CLNC subcontractors on track can suck her spirit dry.

Who Is Riding You and Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

Who Is Riding You and Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

Today when I was working out with my trainer, it seemed I was doing everything wrong. It didn’t matter if I was doing a chest-press, a squat or even lying flat on my back in exhaustion – he was correcting me. This could have had something to do with my late night hanging with friends (or not).

Do You Want to Be Right or Do You Want to Be Successful?

Do You Want to Be Right or Do You Want to Be Successful?

In my 41 years of business experience, I’ve learned that I don’t need to take a majority vote on every issue. I don’t always go with the herd and can comfortably make decisions that are contrary to what the majority thinks. But I’ve also learned that I care more about being successful than being right.

Is It Time to Challenge Yourself as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

Is It Time to Challenge Yourself as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

People often ask me: “Vickie, of the places you’ve been, what is your all-time favorite trip?” I’m not a fan of this question because every trip is a favorite in its own way. My response has been the same for years: “If I can only pick one, it would have to be Nepal.” Nepal was my first expedition, so I felt daring, rugged and adventurous. I also fell in love with the incredible contrasts there.

Is Money or Purpose Driving Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

Is Money or Purpose Driving Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

I was speaking with a woman who wanted to start her own business. While Jean and I were talking I realized I couldn’t determine what was driving her, so being the direct person I am, I went straight for the jugular and asked her, “Why do you want to start a business?” She was equally blunt in her answer telling me, “I want money to buy nice things, a nice car, nice clothes and a nice house.” I believe in payoff, but this type of drive for starting one’s own business is, in my opinion, hardly a mission statement.

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – Buck-Up and Heed My Advice

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – Buck-Up and Heed My Advice

In my 41 years of legal nurse consulting education, I have personally mentored thousands of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants and CLNC® graduates. After all these years, I still love to mentor. I think it’s in my DNA and I like knowing that the advice I’m giving doesn’t come from a textbook or some other expert. I’ve lived it for 41 years and I always pride myself on the fact that my advice is real and grounded – there’s no fluff. Of all the mentors at LegalNurse.com, I’m probably the toughest. I’ve always lived a “buck-up” lifestyle and don’t like it when a person makes excuses for why they can’t do what they know they have to do to succeed.

Smart Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Know Managing Can Be a Handful But It’s Worth It!

For 40 years I’ve been reading business books, print publications and business information I find on the Internet. Over the years I have seen many management theories that have obviously been written by university professors or solo consultants who have never managed a single day in their lives. It’s like getting relationship advice from someone who’s not in one.
