The purpose of this book is to share with Healthcare professionals the alternatives that are available to them so they can elevate their lives, elevate their impact and their influence as they grow in their nursing or Healthcare Career. I want to give Healthcare Professionals, particularly nurses, a glimpse of other areas they can embrace to touch the lives of those they are assigned to, or rather those that they are called to serve. I want to empower you to be all you can be. So many of us put limits on what we can achieve, when in reality we were all born to be great, and to do great things. We are as ordinary as we think we are. We will only achieve what we can conceive in our minds. I am a strong believer that we should always be progressing upwards in life, consistently and purposefully. In other words, the sky in NOT the limit.
Have you ever seen a need and said to yourself, "I wish that someone would invent . . . "? Or perhaps you have entertained the idea of even trying to invent something that would meet that need but didn't know where to start. If either of these scenarios has occurred to you, then this book is for you. Based upon the true-life story of a registered nurse who saw a need, the author took it upon himself to create an invention to meet that need, and his invention turned into an international company (CathWear) that has not only won several awards, but is also meeting needs worldwide. Let It Flow describes in detail how this nurse launched his business, with all of its successes and struggles, and how you can start a business of your own that can meet the needs that you see around you. Filled with inspiring story after story, this book will help bring a motivation to the reader to step out into the unknown and act upon their own creative energy to meet needs beyond what he/she may have thought was impossible.

If someone were to ask me: What one defining moment prompted me to write this book? I would have to say it was when I attended small local business networking meeting and the guest speaker said "If you have been punching a clock for the last 10 years or more, then you have been asleep at the wheel of your own life, and working on achieving someone else's dream and not your own!!" That statement hit me right between the eyes. Most of us are breathing but not truly alive, so it is high time that we awaken from the blissful slumber of the routine and mundane. Awaken from the fanciful notion that someone else is ultimately responsible for making our dreams come true as nurses. The reality of a free market world economy has always been that each of us is ultimately responsible for our personal financial future. We should not have to face another stock market crash, real estate bust or massive health industry shakedown to realize that each of us must learn to take the helm of our own economic ship. The days of working for and employer till retirement is a stone age model of exchanging time for money. The title of the book makes the assertion that not only must we think along entrepreneurial lines in an age of entrepreneurism, but our unique skill sets as nurses have groomed us for financial independence in ways one may have not thought possible. Throughout the pages of this book the author asserts that, indeed and in fact, more and more nurse are awakening to a transitional and transformational shift to nurse entrepreneurs as a natural course of our training. Nurses Bred for Business is not theoretical notion, it is an identifiable statement as to the natural progression of who and what nurses have always been. The question is; will you awaken to your rightful destiny and join the ever growing legions of nurse entrepreneurs? In the pages that follow, unfolding challenges rapidly altering the healthcare community beg the need to completely rethink the present and future direction of nurses and, by extension, all healthcare workers. Part 1 of the book delves into what exactly are entrepreneurs and seeks to equivocate the daily nursing hospital experience to daily real world business experience. In Part 2 of the book the author takes you on a fantastic journey of his own entrepreneurial failures and the hard lessons learned. All of us can and should wisely capitalize upon the failures of others instead of own. ( the very definition of wisdom) Utilizing the raw materials from these hard lessons as a foundation upon which to build ever greater personal and professional successes. Part 3 of the book provides a glossary of business terms by chapter that seeks to expand upon the concepts and ideas introduced. Like any new learning, the goal should be to continually expand ones money making vocabulary. Lastly, the author gives a delicious synopsis of what are his 25 favorite financial books that when properly applied will exponentially and continually expand the fiscal dimensions of each individual's business philosophy. Your entrepreneurial journey begins....now.

Journey has been defined as an act of traveling from one place to another. Its a natural thing that occurs as we learn, grow, depart and serve. We take a step, perhaps stop. We look around us, we encounter detours. We start again....a little success, a lot of failure. What will it take to move us to "there"? Is "there" even real? We are sure that one thing that we all can agree upon is that this path is not an easy one. Bumps, potholes and curves can oftentimes cause us to pull over, stop and take a breather. However, this is the time when we must stick to the map the most. This is the inner compass that will lead us intrinsically towards our best self.The journey that we all speak of in this book, is one towards nurse entrepreneurship. Yes, we are Nurses, yes we enjoy patient care and teaching others about health. However, along the journeys described in this anthology, we discovered more. We discovered our how, what and who we are. What we have created in this book was formed to inspire nurses, future nurses and women everywhere to not give up when hard times come. These nurses have endured some hard times, tough situations and unbelievable circumstances. At the end of it all, they endured their journey towards their version of success, meaning and entrepreneurship. This anthology serves to share the triumphs and victories and the fulfillment of achieving a successful arrival towards a destination. We pray that you can get excited about your own journey, use us as your backseat driver, and put the pedal to the metal while you coast along. Take heed, be cautious, but never stop. We look forward to seeing you "there"! Share this book with your favorite nurse, relative or friend and encourage them to continue onward along their JOURNEY.
