Throughout the years I have had vendors and subcontractors invoice me every which way including up. I have one vendor who invoices me weekly, one who almost invoices me daily and, at the other extreme, a CLNC subcontractor who invoices every six months or so…”
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.
Tom and I are in the Napa Valley closing out my year exactly the way I like it – quiet and quieter. When the vines are dormant, the crowds stay home and it feels like we have the valley to ourselves.
I know in the past that Vickie and I have both encouraged and discouraged use of some levels of technology. Myself, I encourage a ban on tech devices in the gym, at the dinner table and, Heaven forbid, cell phone calls on airplanes.
For 2013, my resolution was to see a world that is bigger and brighter than the one I saw in 2012. Not only did I see that bright world, but because I did, I managed to accomplish some bigger things than even I expected.
I’ve been mentoring Certified Legal Nurse Consultants for decades now, so you could say I occasionally repeat myself. And repeat myself I did in 2013. Tom says I don’t just repeat myself with CLNC consultants, I do it at home, at the office and sometimes even when I’m alone (LOL – I think). My response, “I only repeat myself PRN.”
I love the joy of the Christmas season, but I can’t help but notice that we are a society that’s becoming more and more obsessed with happiness at the expense of happiness. You can practically hear people thinking: “If I get this I’ll be happy. If I look like that I’ll be happy. If I drive this, wear this, watch this or eat this… I’ll be happy,” You know what I’m talking about, you’ve probably got your own “If I” working right now. Admit or deny. Mine is “If only I had more hours in the day…”
Tomorrow is Christmas, and I for one, am really looking forward to it. As you know, Vickie and I celebrate the 12 days of Christmas, giving each other a gift a day for each of the 12 days, culminating on Christmas. The gifts are small (no Gulfstream G650 again this year) and so far the gifts I’ve been receiving are far better than the ones I’ve given (Vickie says the same about hers), but tomorrow’s the last day and I may, or may not, receive the best gift of all. I’ll just have to wait and see (or be the first to sneak a look under the tree).
I love ballet and modern dance. Alvin Ailey is one of my favorite dance troupes and last night I got to see them in all of their glory! Their style, energy and creativity is simply unmatched in the dance world.
Christmas is just five days away and I’m so excited because I get to share it with my 4 ½-year-old niece. Reese is a bundle of energy and joy and her enchanting energy is heightened by the holidays. Remember the excitement you felt as a child on Christmas Eve? Everything was bigger at Christmas – the trees were bigger, the ornaments were bigger and the presents were bigger.
