After devoting more than four decades to nursing in a traditional setting, I became increasingly wearied, bored and felt stuck in a career that did not offer autonomy and potential to earn more money. Motivated by interest in law and a desire to use my transferable nursing skills, I pursued a second career as nurse entrepreneur. A home-based business costs more than money to maintain viability. In my zeal for being "Boss" I have learned the following key factors crucial to the success of a business: 1. Prioritize tasks 2. Start each day in prayer and Bible study 3. Exercise at least 30 minutes/ day 4. Eat a healthy breakfast, avoiding fats and sweets 5. Avoid distraction of social media, telephone, and television 6. Dress appropriately 7. Take 15 minute breaks as needed 8. Believe you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you Discipline! Determination! Diligence...contributes to success!
