Set Yourself up for a Successful Nurse Entrepreneur Business Day
LeaRae Keyes, RN

You can determine how successful you will be today. You set the stage every morning and as you go through your day. Why not set the stage for you to be as successful as you possibly can in your nurse entrepreneur business today and every day? Some of the things you control are your intention, your environment, and your accountability.

Intention - Although you may have an overall plan for your business do you have a daily plan? Every day I set my top three priorities, the things I want to be sure to accomplish that day. Although I have an ongoing to do list with many tasks on it I want to be sure to pay attention to the tasks that will surely move me closer to my goals. I also have an intention in terms of my attitude and expectations. I want to be joyous as I work and also have a clear picture of the expectation I have for the task. Start every day with an intention and priorities and see if it has an impact on the results. 

Environment - Setting up an environment can have a profound effect on the work you produce. I love a sunny, bright, soothing environment for my work. I also enjoy hearing birds singing outside the window. By setting up an ideal environment for myself I am able to produce much better results. What changes can you make in your environment that will allow you to work more effortlessly?

Accountability - What systems do you have to hold yourself accountable? For me I find that a task list in Outlook works the best. My top three priorities are at the top of my task list so I stay focused on what I intended to accomplish. I love being able to check off each task when it is completed. After those primary tasks are completed I am free to choose from the ongoing list with whatever time I still have left.

What steps can you take today or this week that will help you to be a more successful nurse entrepreneur?
