    Our Mission, Vision, & Values

    The following are the Nurse Entrepreneur Network's Mission, Vision, and Values:

    Mission

    The Nurse Entrepreneur Network exists to help nurses who are or want to be entrepreneurs succeed by

    • Providing networking, education and training, and coaching
    • Promoting nurse entrepreneur businesses to each other and the general public
    • Assisting nurse entrepreneurs in forming collaborative alliances and providing a valuable resource bank

    In order to fulfill our mission, we pledge the following:

    • We will treat each member as though the success of our organization depends on that individual alone
    • We will continue to increase the value and benefits of our services, programs and products
    • We will deliver what we promise
    • We will conduct our business in a manner which commands the respect of the public for our industry and for the goals toward which we strive

    Vision

     

    The Nurse Entrepreneur Network will create an environment that inspires and empowers the entrepreneurial spirit of nurses by encouraging sharing and support in order to:

    • Solve business problems
    • Encourage collaboration
    • Provide education and resources
    • Provide coaching
    • Provide superior value
    • Provide a marketplace where members can make their services and products available to each other and to their clients

    As a technology-based network, we will endeavor to respect each other's need for meaningful communication and support without overwhelming each other with unnecessary and unwanted information. Therefore, we will not send each other any form of spam and we will not share the Nurses Entrepreneur Network's mailing list with anyone outside the Network.

    An R&D Team will be used initially and on an ongoing basis to determine the services the members want and to assist in the development of these services.

    The organization will be primarily Web and telephone based, offering teleclasses/teleforums, group coaching, and a discussion forum.

     

    Values

     

    The Nurse Entrepreneur Network holds the following values in the highest regard in all their business dealings and expects all members and their associates, suppliers, and vendors to uphold them as well:
    • Confidentiality
    • Supportive environment
    • Collaboration and sharing
    • Generosity
    • Life-long learning

     Portal Testimonials

    I absolutely love your site.

    Dr. Donna Hebbeler, FNP

    "Wow! Whoopee! and Thank you! LeaRae, my coaching session with you was everything I wanted and needed. I had been spinning my wheels with regard to my business interests, leaving me both frustrated and weary. In a matter of minutes, you lifted my spirits, opened my eyes and got me thinking about my mission in a new light. Thank you for helping me change my focus. I no longer feel like I'm in a mental quagmire. My hat is off to you as a coach as well as to the Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network for all the information and support it gives to the enterprising person in all of us."

    "I talked to you this summer, and wanted to let you know how progress is going... You gave me alot of encouragement, and I wanted to let you know that even tho it is slow, [my legal nurse consulting] business is starting to build.  I just completed my first entire case review, did 1 sub-contracting with possible testifying, and am now on my 2nd case as testifying expert and will testify.  I emailed approximately 70 attorneys in the past 2 weeks, and the case I am now working on came from the emailing, and I hope that an attorney that responded is not scared off with my fee schedule.  I hope that I will hear from more of the attorneys that I emailed and mailed out my packets to.  Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that it works.  I am really hoping that I can get this flying, so that I can spend more time at home with the kids.
     
    I wanted to thank you for your encouragement, and please post this on your site if it is possible, as you have done a world of good for me."

     "LeaRae Keyes is a world-class life coach I have been blessed to know since 2003.  She is a warm, perceptive, genuine professional, with an exceptional gift for motivating others.  Her approach seems quite effortless, yet it has been refined through years of experience and learning.  She is a true pleasure.  She is an inspiration in what she has achieved in her own life, and by her own example..."

    "I'm so glad I found the Nurse Entrepreneur Network!  LeaRae always has great ideas to share with other "Nursepreneurs."  I recently finished the teleclass "Get Clients Now!" and I have to say that it was the most motivational and informative program I've done.
     
    Just starting out in my business as an LNC, this program help me set goals and keep me organized.  It also kept me accountable to my peers in the group each week.  LeaRae is so insightful and has wonderful experience to draw from for those of us who are beginning our dream of being nurse entrepreneurs.
     
    I would highly recommend ANYONE who is just starting their business, or even someone who's been in business awhile and feels like they're in a lull to take this class.  They won't regret it!"

    Following the Michael Charest Teleforum: "Thank you for letting me be part of the [free] teleforum this afternoon. It was inspiring. Michael Charest made it seem so simple (not easy), it boosted my confidence. I will be using the notes I took to help me sell my services here 'up north'."

    "I have been out of the net for awhile. It seems just as I was getting up and running with my business, Uncle Sam came knocking and called me back to active duty. It is so refreshing to get your tips to remind me of what I am going to eventually get back to! Keep on keeping us nurses encouraged!"
