| Golden Opportunity
The drastic changes to the healthcare delivery system from the legislative, socio- economic and technology factors has created a pivotal time in the nursing profession. This is a golden opportunity for nurses to achieve autonomy and take a central role in providing much needed and a wide variety of services, products and programs. Thousands of nurse entrepreneurs nationwide have already accomplished this by starting their own business and are enjoying independence, professional respect and increased financial rewards. We are in a time of unlimited opportunities for nurses to expand our profession through entrepreneurship. Join Us!

Lessons in Mistakes!
The many opportunities for you to network is one of the highlights of this conference. At networking receptions and luncheons you will meet new friends, make business contacts and share ideas in an informal, relaxed setting. So be sure to bring Business Cards! I have spent a good deal of money on marketing materials whether from my role in corporate America or as an entrepreneur that has owned several businesses. And the article on 10 Business Card Mistakes is right on. I once was hired to run a company that had printed materials in silver and lilac colors on a shiny surface and you couldn’t even read the company information!

And our first article is something every nurse entrepreneur should know, the 11 Mistakes Standing Between You and Your First Million? It really isn’t as farfetched as you may believe!

Becoming a millionaire isn’t as far-fetched as you would believe. With dedication, patience and focus, becoming a millionaire is completely obtainable. If I can do it, anyone can.
The hardest part? Actually reaching your first million. After that, everything else falls in place. But why is it so difficult to reach your first million? I find that most people are pretty close, but hold themselves back with the following mentalities:

To write this post, I grabbed ten random business cards from a stack I received last week. So you can see I didn’t have to look far for examples.
So if you are ready, pull out your business card, lay it on the desk near your computer, pull out a pen or highlighter and be ready to identify the mistakes you are making.
