Episode Description
In this Episode, you will meet Nurse entrepreneur Cynthia Sinclair. Cynthia will share her story and offer insight on why nurses make great entrepreneurs! Entrepreneurship starts with an idea or a better way of doing things. Many nurses are frustrated with the current state of healthcare. The traditional way that nurses have been practicing has become hard on nurses and the patients that they serve. Nurses are leaders and long to make change that is a win- win for everyone. Business is all about thinking about the needs of others. As a nurse, you know what patients need from you and how you can help them achieve their goals. Nurses are already service-minded. A successful business has a loyal clientele. Loyal clients come from connection and as a nurse, you know how to create a connection. It's the essence of the work that we do! Entrepreneurs want to make a lasting impact. When nurses decide to be their own boss it allows them to create their own legacy and be valued as an expert.
The Wealthy Nurse Hour
Archives Available on VoiceAmerica Business Channel
Throughout my career I have noticed that nurses, nurse aides and caregivers are overworked, underpaid and lack the flexibility and freedom to have a satisfying work life balance. As a result, a large number of nurses are leaving traditional nursing and becoming entrepreneurs.
I decided to create the show "The Wealthy Nurse Hour" to establish a platform for nurse entrepreneurs to showcase their business. These Nurse leaders will discuss their journey as entrepreneurs and how they achieved their current success. There are a variety of specialty areas to enter as a nurse entrepreneur. Our guests will give aspiring nurses insight on ways to transition from the bedside to business.
I believe that wealth is a mindset. If an individual can make up their mind to change an unfavorable situation, then they have the ability to live a wealthy life. The possession, or the manifestation, of wealth starts with the way a person thinks.
