Whether you read this book in hardback or electronically, you absolutely must read it: The Barefoot Executive: The Ultimate Manual for Being Your Own Boss & Achieving Financial Freedom by Carrie Wilkerson. Or, go to here website here. The book is chock full of ideas for every nurse, Professional Legal Nurse Consultant or potential business owner.
The premise behind the book is that you cannot sit and wait for something good to happen to you. You must seek it out. Carrie gives you umpteen ways to achieve this. She specifically dispels three big mistakes out there: 1. Chasing someone else’s dream; 2. Chasing too many rabbits; and 3. Chasing dollars.
You need to read Chapter Eleven carefully because she talks about service-based business. Combined with Chapter Twelve on expertise-based businesses, this information is imperative for every Professional Legal Nurse Consultant to read. Carrie teaches us, through others’ stories, as well as her own, that there is opportunity in everyone.
The electronic version of the The Barefoot Executive has several videos of Carrie talking candidly and directly to the viewer. It is a down-home way of helping every nurse, every viewer, every individual, but is an extremely effective one.
Meeting Carrie Wilkerson is on my bucket list. Her life story and her book really resonate with me.
