| | | Dear Nurses,
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically affected our healthcare systems and how business is being done. Now more than ever, as a nursing community, we must continue to support each other as we move forward. Back in mid-March, we never would have imagined where we would find ourselves months later. Like so many of you, the NNBA has had to adjust to an evolving business model. By pivoting to a virtual conference we remain able to provide you the best program available for nurse entrepreneurs, aspiring entrepreneurs and nurses interested in discovering the available options.
Businesses thrive with community support and the NNBA is thriving because of the support and participation of our member community. Our members contribute to our annual conference’s success in a big way. Nurse entrepreneur superstars, business experts, and leaders in a variety of niches, come together in both live and recorded sessions that provide massive-value content for the nurses that register for this conference.

| Importance of an Entrepreneurial Mindset
Having an entrepreneurial mindset is very important for a number of reasons.
First, this mindset has the ability to make you perform at higher levels, thus achieving more.
Secondly, it will allow you to develop your business ideas to the fullest. With this mindset in the business idea phase, you will have a better chance at succeeding at finding the right idea.
It will also help you during the validation process and execution phase. By learning now, you are preparing yourself to the fullest for your entrepreneurial journey later.
Even if you are still working for someone right now, or in school, having this mindset will give you the tools to excel in whatever you do, so don’t ignore this if you have not begun your entrepreneurial journey.
Lastly, when it comes time to execution, you can go full force and not have to worry about learning an entrepreneurial mindset, as well as all the details of your new business.

| Travis Fields and his wife, Niki, were visiting family in Hawaii when Colorado governor Jared Polis ordered all restaurants to stop dine-in services. So they had to figure out a way to keep their business open from 3,000 miles away.
The couple owns FH Beerworks, a brewery and taproom that sits on five acres of land outside of Colorado Springs, Colo., and employs a team of 12 brewers, bartenders, and salespeople.
Between restaurants and liquor stores, FH has about 130 local wholesale accounts, and Travis hopes to expand to the entire state. But FH’s brewery and taproom are the heart of the business. During a normal summer, he says, the taproom alone brings in about $50,000 in sales each month.
This year, Polis ordered all Colorado bars and restaurants to close on March 16, right before St. Patrick’s Day, one of the biggest “drinking days” of the year. April’s revenue was even worse: Travis says FH made only $25,000 that month (a record low for the business).
