As a nurse entrepreneur, the dream of making six figures while having the flexibility to work from anywhere is not just a possibility—it's a reality that can be achieved with the right strategies and mindset. In this article, I'll share my insights on how to build a successful, location-independent business that allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.

Begin with the End in Mind

One of the most crucial steps in creating a successful, flexible business is to start with a clear vision of what you want to achieve. When I started my current business, I knew I wanted to:

  • Earn multiple six figures and beyond
  • Work from anywhere in the world
  • Have a business that fits in my backpack

This vision has guided every decision I've made about new services, products, and the kind of work I do. I evaluate each opportunity based on whether it aligns with my goal of location independence.

Avoid Creating Another Job for Yourself

Many nurse entrepreneurs make the mistake of going into business and inadvertently creating another job for themselves—one that may be even less flexible than what they're trying to escape. Learn from my experience with owning a hospice: while it was successful, I didn't have an exit strategy and couldn't easily step away from the day-to-day operations.

Focus on Scalable Services

To achieve six figures and work from anywhere, focus on creating scalable services. In my CE consultation business, I initially did all the course writing and application myself. However, I soon realized this wasn't sustainable or scalable. By hiring course writers and assistants, I've been able to remove myself from most of the day-to-day operations, focusing instead on business consultations and project oversight.

Evaluate and Delegate

Assess which tasks are absolutely necessary for you to perform and which can be delegated. This allows you to focus on growing and scaling your business, serving more people, and moving into higher levels of income.

Establish a Strong Online Presence

A robust online presence is crucial for attracting your audience and growing your authority and income. Invest in:

  • A professional website
  • Active social media profiles
  • Effective digital marketing strategies

Implement Effective Marketing Strategies

Plan your content around product or service launches, and create a dedicated marketing plan. Be intentional with your messaging to ensure it resonates with your target audience.

Embrace Value-Based Pricing

Price your products and services based on the value you provide to your clients, not on the time it takes you to complete a task. Consider factors such as:

  • The transformation you provide
  • The time and effort you save your clients
  • The unique expertise you bring to the table

Master Time Management

Effective time management is crucial for achieving six-figure success. Consider implementing strategies such as:

  • Working in focused 90-minute sessions
  • Eliminating distractions (e.g., notifications, emails)
  • Becoming the CEO of your calendar

Commit to Continuous Learning

Always strive for personal mastery and growth. Continuously ask yourself:

  • What can I learn today that I didn't know yesterday?
  • How can I better serve my clients?
  • What new challenges can I take on?

By implementing these strategies, you'll be well on your way to building a six-figure nurse entrepreneur business that allows you to work from anywhere. Remember, the income you generate is a reflection of the value you provide to the world. Embrace your worth, continue to grow, and watch your business thrive.
