I wrote this book. And rather than tell you how great it is (what else would you expect me to say? ;-) I'll just give you a preview of what the book offers. I've been a self-employed nurse entrepreneur for since 1980, and this book distills my experiences, and show you how you can take control of your life and nursing career.

(1) visualizing your future will change your life. how to do it. p. 8

(2) what you should (mentally speaking) never take your eyes off of. p. 8

(3) the difference between dreams and goals. p. 9

(4) resolving contradictory goals. p. 10

(5) the 3 most important questions you can ask about your life. pages 13-14

(6) putting your dreams into reality. p. 15

(7) the crucial question to ask when you fail. p. 17

(8) what's the opposite of success? (hint: it's not failure ...) p. 17

(9) the crucial question to ask about any dream. p. 19

(10) an important mental exercise that will tell you what's important to you in your career. p. 23

(11) positioning yourself for career success. pages 27-30

(12) getting business to come to you even when you don't like sales. pages 31-32

(13) hints on buying equipment for your business (one of these hints saved me over $200 -- over 90% off what I would have normally paid for the piece of equipment -- one time). pages 34-35

(14) what distinguishes winners from losers. p. 35

(15) 68 nursing business career ideas requiring little or no money to start. pages 44-46

(16) an easy way to "get your feet wet" in nursing self-employment. pages 48-49

(17) the one thing that you should never say about your competitors. p. 61

(18) 2 books (in addition to this one!) that changed my life. (they will probably change your's, too). p. 71

I welcome additional questions about this book. I'm here to help.
