What do you do if you're a nurse looking to start your own business?

Como enfermeira com espírito empreendedor, você pode iniciar um negócio de consultoria de saúde, oferecendo servi?os de cuidados domiciliares ou educa??o para a saúde. Pode também desenvolver produtos de saúde inovadores ou aplicativos de tecnologia assistiva, aproveitando sua experiência para atender às necessidades do mercado de saúde.

Procure pensar todo tipo de necessidade um paciente pode ter antes, durante e depois do seu tratamento. N?o apenas em cuidados médicos, mas servi?os em geral como quem vai cuidar das suas coisas durante um procedimento? Assessoria para quais seguros ele deveria possuir? Quem o levará e buscará em cada procedimento? Bolsas, acessórios, recipientes para remédios, dicas de cuidados estéticos. Enfim, creio que o desafio seja usar sua expertise como semente para mil possibilidades, n?o como única op??o. Expanda suas ideias, seja visionária a partir de tudo o que você já ouviu como problema que você possa trazer uma solu??o em forma de produtos ou servi?os.

First, identify a problem you're uniquely qualified to solve based on your personal and professional experiences. What gap do you see that you could fill? Focus your business on meeting that need. Next, start small and lean. Create an MVP. Bootstrap it yourself initially. Build a strong network, both within nursing and in the business community. Relationships are key. Find mentors who have done what you aspire to. Invest time in developing solid business skills - things like marketing, sales, finance, operations. You'll need more than just your nursing expertise. Finally, believe in yourself and don't give up! It's not easy building a business but we nurses are a tough and determined bunch. You've got this! Have fun!

Based on your skillset, you as a nurse are equipped to solve many different healthcare problems. Reflect on the problems you most frequently are solving and the impact it is having on others with their time, energy, and resources. If you find that your solutions offer transformations, you have a viable solution to take to the market.

First up, get crystal clear on your offering and ideal customer. Paint a vivid picture of who you'll serve and how. Validate your idea through market research. Scope out the competition and pinpoint your unique edge. Crunch the numbers with financial projections. Map out start-up costs, revenue potential, and growth plans. Keep it real and lean. Strategize your marketing and sales game plan. How will you spread the word and reel in clients? Spell out that journey from lead to loyal customer. Hammer out the day-to-day operations - staffing, equipment, tech. Nail down those logistics. Set your sights with concrete milestones. What does success look like at 3, 6, 12 months? Your plan is a living doc. Adapt as you grow.

Pick the right biz structure. Sole prop, LLC, corp - each has perks & quirks for liability & taxes. Consult a lawyer. Get licensed & permitted if needed. Regulations vary by state & industry. Dot those i's & cross those t's! Protect your secret sauce! Trademark your name & logo. Patent any proprietary stuff. Craft airtight contracts. Spell out the deets - who, what, when, how much. Get legal eyes on 'em. Master your tax game. Keep it clean & set aside the dough. A CPA is your BFF! Insure yourself silly. Liability, malpractice, property - better safe than sued! And always, ALWAYS keep it legit. Integrity is everything. Uphold those RN ethics!

Assim como os cuidados com uma pessoa requer conhecimentos específicos, a parte financeira de uma empresa também precisa de um cuidado profissional e confiável. Atualmente existem muitas empresas especializadas em solu??es contábeis para a área da saúde, que est?o familiarizadas com as dores e potenciais do setor. Como profissional de saúde, é provável que n?o esteja familiarizado com todas demandas envolvidas na parte financeira e, por isso, é fundamental procurar aconselhamento profissional para os cuidados dessa área no?seu?negócio.

Online businesses require less overhead and less of a need for large amounts of start up capital. In fact, I was able to successfully start my consulting business with less than $1,000 dollars. Now, there are technology tools and other resources that are at a freemium which would give a nurse entrepreneur plenty of time to earn revenue within the first 6 months yielding a profits in less than one year!

Having a Brand Blueprint is necessary before there are any other steps in business development. This is the foundation of who you are a business owner and who you serve and how you plan to serve your clients. Do not invest in any shiny objects until you have clarity in your brand strategy. I had to learn the hard way to a tune of 10s of thousands of dollars in coaching and courses.

Diving into the entrepreneurial world as a nurse is thrilling! Start by leveraging your existing connections—colleagues, mentors, and professors can be invaluable resources. Attend industry conferences, workshops, and seminars to meet like-minded professionals and learn from the best. Join nursing and healthcare-related LinkedIn groups, engage in discussions, and share your insights to boost your visibility. Consider volunteering for health-related causes to expand your network and showcase your expertise. Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of local community events where you can connect with potential partners and clients in a more relaxed setting. Let your passion lead the way and the right connections will follow!
