How to Finance Your Business for Nurse Entrepreneurs

A resourceful person will always make opportunity fit his or her needs.” – Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich


How to Finance Your Business for Nurse Entrepreneurs


A primary concern of nurse entrepreneurs is how much it is going to cost to start my business, and how am I going to come up with the money? Many of us believe if we had enough money, our great idea would be very successful. Entrepreneurship requires work and most importantly, entrepreneurship requires resourcefulness. There is always opportunity. Here are a variety of resourceful ways to finance your business.


Develop Your Capitalization Strategy


Capitalization strategies help you determine the best funding resources at each stage of your business. Idea/Concept, Start-up, Growth, Maturity, Expansion or Decline. This looks much like Erikson’s Eight Stages of Man, doesn’t it? And it’s actually good to think of your business in this way because many of the characteristics within each stage of life correlate well to the stages in the business life cycle.

How Passion Unlocks Your Marketing Success

Success in business often feels like a careful balance between strategy and intuition, but what if one of the most powerful ingredients for marketing success was something you’ve carried with you all along?


For entrepreneurs, especially those just stepping into the startup world, personal passions are often overlooked in favor of market research, data-driven strategies, and a strict focus on the bottom line. But in reality, your personal passions may be the most untapped source of marketing potential.


Let’s explore how your passions can ignite creativity, inspire authentic storytelling, and help build a devoted community, ultimately driving your marketing success.

Why Writing Ability Is The Most Important Skill In Business (And How To Acquire It)


Forbes

Any management consultant will tell you that communication skills are vital to success in business. Business is fundamentally about getting other people to do things -- getting employees to be productive, customers to buy your product or service, government to leave you alone - and you can’t make these things happen if you can’t communicate well.

Why? Because good writing is fundamentally good thinking that follows a logical path and is easy for someone to follow. Writing out what you want to communicate forces you to organize your thoughts.
