Our first article of interests is one of my favorites, 35 of the Best Fiverr Gigs to Start and Grow Your Business. I have used Fiverr and I have placed additional outsourcing info in the Nurse Business Insider Tip below. Stop being Just Another Company, Become a Brand By Telling Stories is our second article and shares how important it is to have your own story, and gives us something to identify with. Our last article really resonated with me, and I believe it will with you as well. Many ahah moments. Professional race car driver, Danica Patrick talks about Reinvention and laying the groundwork for a new career. Attending #NNAB2018 is a great way to start laying your groundwork! |

| Outsourcing: As much as we would like to handle everything that has to do with our business, the truth is, we need to learn to outsource so we can do what we do best and let others help in areas that we don’t have expertise. I want to mention a few of the resources that I have used during the past several years that have assisted me in getting my information out in the marketplace. - Fiverr: For those of you that are not familiar with Fiverr, it is a fantastic site that provides freelance work on demand. For $5 and increments of $5 you can get assistance with graphic design with logos, business cards, illustrations, programming, business, music, etc. https://www.fiverr.com/
- 99 Designs: Designers compete to give you a great custom design. You pick your favorite. Logos, Brands, T-shirts, Book Cover, packaging Design, etc. I used 99 Designs for my Unconventional Nurse logo. Based on what I said, Lou drafted out an idea and we sent this to them. Ultimately we choose one of the designs of one of the artists that were bidding to get the business. https://99designs.com/
- Jet Launch: Chris O’Byrne started JETLAUNCH, a self-publishing company, several years ago to right a wrong he saw in self-publishing services. Just because authors want to self-publish does not mean they need to settle for amateur design or inflated prices. Professional book design (cover, ebook, and print) should cost a fair price. I worked with Chris in 2013. Chris and the entire Jet Launch group were a pleasure to work with. http://jetlaunch.net/
- Smart Levels Media: Established in 2001, Smart Levels Media has flourished from a one-man operation to one of the largest online printing companies in Orange County, California. They offer full-service commercial printing for businesses of all sizes. Our products range from business cards and brochures to custom banners, signs, and displays. I have used Smart Levels for several years; they have quick turnaround and a vast variety of printing solutions. www.smartlevels.com

The site began as “the $5 marketplace” and while many of the gigs below still carry that low introductory price tag, Fiverr has graduated to higher value services as well.

| With just forty dollars to his name and the clothes in his suitcase, Walt moved to Hollywood in 1923. He also had a vision — a dream of something much larger than himself. By the end of his career, he had become one of the most iconic entrepreneurs, showmen, and producers of all time. And even beyond his lifetime, Walt Disney’s legacy continues growing to new heights. Stories are the foundations of our largest institutions. Religions, companies large and small, and the very founding of nations are all based on stories. Read More |

| In the weeks leading up to Danica Patrick’s final IndyCar race this past May, she spent her time the way most drivers do -- practicing on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and running through details with her team. But with about two weeks to go before she’d suit up professionally for the last time, she is summoned to do a little salesmanship. A group of teenage girls has been assembled at the speedway’s main building, and NASCAR has asked Patrick to give them a pep talk about the exciting possibilities of a career in professional auto racing.
