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!

"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."

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!"
