    What people say about LeaRae Keyes and the Nurse Entrepreneur Network


    LeaRae, I want to thank you for extending your lazer sharp focus, expertise, and compassion to me during our first complimentary coaching session! The value of what you provided me in such a short time you can not put a price on! You turned my confusion, self-doubt, and concern into actionable steps, clarity, and excitement. Your service has helped get me un-stuck and one step closer to fulfilling my passion.

    Lisbeth Overton, Edina, MN


    Yesterday we had a fruitful MasterMind session with LeaRae and others. There is plenty that you can learn from joining her MasterMind group. Start up mistakes can be costly and time consuming. You will be happy to avoid them.

    Joyce Fiodembo, Brookpark, OH


    MasterMind calls with LeaRae have been and continue to be an inspiration and a true gift to Nurse Entrepreneurs who have a strong desire to succeed.

    Mary Pat DeWald, Evergreen, CO


    Thanks LeaRae for the complimentary coaching session. Your reassurance meant a lot to me. I have more confidence knowing that my business venture is viable. Thanks for the tips you gave me and more importantly, thanks for your time.

    I want to let you know how much I value your articles. I consider them priceless with the wealth of tips, advice & information they provide. I have to tear myself away from reading them so I can focus on implementing what I have learned. My goal is to eventually read all 494 issues.

    Also, thank-you so very much for the complimentary coaching session we had Wednesday. You made excellent suggestions that I am now incorporating into my business strategies.

    This email is to thank you for your website and for the help you have been for me personally.

    When I started my website, I thought I had a good idea, and I tried to do everything at once. After my free consultation with you, I focused on building my list, as you recommended. In the process of doing that, I kept adding content, and creating "give aways" to encourage people to sign up.

    I actually got somewhat discouraged for awhile, but then one day I got a call from a man who owned a company that sells supplies to home health and hospice agencies. He said you had referred me to him. When he looked at my website with all its content, he called me back and said, "You are the perfect person for me."

    So, now I am doing just what I had intended to do with my website, from home, working for this company. I am salaried, plus I get part of any service or product that I helped develop.

    I am amazed by how this has all fallen together! Thank you, LeaRae, for your advice and for your referral. Now I am doing just what I want to be doing. I am working from home as a nurse.

    LeaRae, thank you for [the MasterMind group] and to everyone else for sharing of yourselves and your visions! You each are an inspiration and I just love the fact that opportunity abounds for us to be successful in our chosen profession.

    I had the benefit of one on one with LeaRae, and the information exchanged was exciting, intriguing, as well as educational. What a wonderful teacher. LeaRae allows you the freedom to brainstorm and encourages new thoughts. She is not afraid of unusual or different ideas. Everything you might expect in an entrepreneur. I would strongly encourage others to join the forums, but also take part of the community she is building.

    I think she is a wonderful coach and her web site is a reflection of that. Thank you LeaRae! Stellar job!

    From our first meeting you were supportive, attentive, and engaged in my business interests. In a world where people often talk more than they listen, your skills as a guide and counselor are all that more appreciated.

    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.

    Through spirited sessions, she has helped me redirect myself so that I can build my future just the way I imagine it should be built.

    This is how working with her unfolded for me:  Like many people, I was fully engrossed in spinning my wheels, and had become frustrated with the limited success I could show for all my efforts.  My approach seemed deliberate and right to me, yet I was making no real headway.  It was clear something was missing, but I wasn't open to discovering it by myself.  I just could not "self-rescue".

    Magically, LeaRae's insights and good humor freed me.  She got me out of the metaphorical ditch, and up onto a super highway. 

    She transformed my time into a daily exercise of focused self-discipline - and what's more - she awakened my competitive spirit.   "Nothing succeeds like success" came to mind as I cheerfully worked through the program that had evolved from our sessions. 

    She accelerated my progress.  I accomplished the goal we were working on in record speed.  For this, I owe her a debt of gratitude. 

    She has made me believe that miracles can happen, and has me engaged in the active pursuit of my dreams. 

    The insights that I will gain from her sensible and enlightened  counsel will carry me in the days to come.  I trust that with her coaching and the lessons I have already begun to learn, I will continue to fulfill my intentions towards greater generosity of spirit and maturity of purpose.

    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 a free complimentary coaching session: Thank you for taking the time to address my concerns and questions regarding marketing techniques. Your keen insight into the art of becoming a successful nursepreneur is so valuable and helpful even to those of us who have been practicing as independents for years! I enjoy reading your weekly tips and have used them in promoting my business. You have given me the confidence to market my business, my services and myself with ease.

    Following a free complimentary coaching session: "Thank you so much for your help!  Your words of encouragement have really made me ready to keep trying.  Your ideas are great, and I am going to try some of them this afternoon.  I needed the boost of confidence you provided me, along with your great ideas.  I can't thank you enough!"

    Beth Trussell RN, CLNC

    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!"

    "Thank you so much for your skilled ear, LeaRae!  I appreciate the direction and thorough business knowledge you shared with me during [my free, complimentary] coaching sessions. You were VERY helpful!"

    "As a sole proprietor of my business, I've been accustomed to making my own decisions and rising or falling on my actions. I thought that was an advantage of being a lone ranger. Since I have been working with LeaRae Keyes, I find that I am able to maintain a much clearer focus on my business...where it is today and where I want it to go. It is so helpful for me to be able to vocalize my ideas and plans. Business challenges and opportunities seem so much clearer...and more managable...when I can discuss them with someone. And I can really see the advantage of being accountable for carrying out my plans in the pursuit of my goals. I highly recommend LeaRae for anyone who is ready to take their business to the next level."

    "LeaRae helps me slow down, review and think about what I am doing, what my priorities are and how to develop action steps to reach my goals. She helps me move from the constant worrying of 'never enough time' to the point of 'that's done, now what do I want to focus on?' What an incredible time and energy saver!"

    "Working with LeaRae provided me the support I needed to grow a strong and successful business. She helped me develop practical solutions to a variety of business problems. My profits have dramatically increased."

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.
