00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:05,100
I'm your host, dr. 
Sandra contenta.

00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,400
I'm a doctor, Lee prepared nurse
practitioner.

00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,300
And I am so glad you decided to 
join me today. 

5
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,900
The doctor nurse podcast is a 
podcast for nurses and nurse 

6
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:17,400
practitioners that are wanting 
to understand what exactly their

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,400
degrees can do for them. 
After the birth of my son, I had

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,500
this baking desire to have more 
flexibility in my career 

9
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:27,100
choices. 
Despite feeling like all the 

10
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,200
alphabet soup, after my name 
didn't really afford me. 

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,900
Me very many options, I launched
the podcast to find the answers 

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
that I so desperately needed. 
But I also knew I couldn't be 

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,800
the only nurse who felt this 
way. 

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,200
This is sound like you, if so, 
come and hang out with me as I 

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,100
figure out what our nursing 
degrees can give us access to, 

16
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:51,000
as far as career flexibility 
control, over our schedules and 

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,600
Entrepreneurship my talking with
NPS and our friends who are 

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,800
doing exactly that. 
Sit back and enjoy the 

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,300

So I'm so happy to have you on 

36
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:53,400

I am so about nurse

practitioners, starting their 
own businesses starting side. 

38
00:01:56,300 --> 00:01:59,900
Hustle starting small, bridging 
their careers, so that they 

39
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:01,900
don't. 
Not as lying on the hospital for

40
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:05,000
a job to give them a freedom. 
We are aligned. 

41
00:02:05,300 --> 00:02:08,900
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, so exciting. 

42
00:02:08,900 --> 00:02:11,400
And thanks again for coming on 
and chatting, with my guests, 

43
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,100
and my audience, and just 
letting them know, like what 

44
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:16,500
their options are. 
So, tell me again, how you see 

45
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,000
yourself? 
How do you view your career and 

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
kind of what your roles are 
these days? 

47
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:25,300
Yeah, so I guess I'll start with
my rolling. 

48
00:02:25,300 --> 00:02:27,700
What I do, I was asleep being a 
nurse, a family nurse 

49
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,900
practitioner dr. 
Lee prepared. 

50
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:33,700
That was something that I did 
not plan on, you know, go back 

51
00:02:33,700 --> 00:02:36,800
to school for a doctorate that 
was just something someone close

52
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,200
to me, a mentor had suggested 
and advised that I do and I was 

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,500
against it for for a while and 
then I just decided you know 

54
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:48,600
what I'm going to do this 
because why not, you know why 

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,400
not go you know a way above 
what? 

56
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,000
I think I can do. 
And so nonetheless here I am and

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200
you know being a healthcare 
provider is something I've been 

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,900
doing a bit in health care in 
nursing All my career it's the 

59
00:03:01,900 --> 00:03:05,600
only career path. 
I know as far as being a 

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,400
profession and I love helping 
people. 

61
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,000
So I love, you know, being able 
to now do that in my own 

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,200
practice, kind of being able to 
determine how that's done, how I

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,500
feel, is the best way to care 
for people in the primary care 

64
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:25,100
setting being that, you know, 
I've worked in other places 

65
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,500
worked in hospitals, worked in 
other clinics places. 

66
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,700
And I saw the deficits. 
If the health Your system, 

67
00:03:30,700 --> 00:03:32,300
especially outpatient, primary 
care. 

68
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:37,200
And so, I love that I'm able now
to do that and focus on caring 

69
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,500
for my own patients as well as 
you know. 

70
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,000
Now, I'm also to help able to 
help other people other 

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,900
Healthcare professionals. 
Start their own practice as 

72
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,700
well, start their own 
businesses. 

73
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,600
So, it's just been an amazing 
journey. 

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,700
I would say like these past four
or five years, you know, just 

75
00:03:53,700 --> 00:03:56,200
embarking on things that I did 
not know. 

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,000
I was even capable of going 
beyond what, you know, society 

77
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,900
says That we as nursing and 
advanced practice nursing 

78
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:05,300
professionals and do and should 
do. 

79
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:09,600
So that's that's just, you know 
what I'm doing and what I will 

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,200
continue to do. 
So, how was your primary care? 

81
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,300
Practice different from those 
around, you know, another 

82
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:18,200
primary care provider, like, how
are you different? 

83
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,800
Yes. 
So my primary care practice, is 

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,200
known as what is a new kind of 
model of care and Primary Care 

85
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,500
Services, which is direct 
primary care. 

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,600
So, basically, what that means 
is that we offer All our 

87
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
services and our office based on
a monthly membership. 

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,400
So, kind of like a subscription 
service for health care 

89
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,700
services. 
So that's what mainly allows us 

90
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:42,700
to stand out from a lot of other
primary care offices. 

91
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:47,100
In my local area, is that a lot 
of them are heavily based on 

92
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:51,200
accepting Insurance. 
Whereas we do not have to, and 

93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,000
we can provide services to those
individuals who don't have 

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,600
access to health insurance or 
they don't, you know, they they 

95
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,200
don't want the cost of Health 
Care. 

96
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,300
Insurance. 
So, by no means, is it a 

97
00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:04,000
replacement for health 
insurance? 

98
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,600
You know, health insurance has 
its benefits. 

99
00:05:05,900 --> 00:05:08,800
But when I started to think 
about, you know, my role when I 

100
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,300
was, you know, back as a 
registered nurse when I was 

101
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:15,900
working P RN or working for ACS 
have access to health insurance,

102
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:19,600
you know, in those roles. 
But you know, I still wanted 

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200
that security of being able to, 
you know, go to the doctor, go 

104
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,600
to a provider and get checked 
out and not have it to think 

105
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,700
about going to the, ER, for 
simple things. 

106
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,900
And I realized I was like, you 
know, no people who are contract

107
00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:35,700
workers or people who are 
entrepreneurs business owners, 

108
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
they really don't know, or I 
should say, they really don't 

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,300
have a way for them to obtain 
quality services. 

110
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,100
Without thinking about, oh, 
well, I don't have health 

111
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,200
insurance, so there's no way I 
can, you know, get an annual 

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,800
physical. 
There's no way I can get seen 

113
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,200
without paying hundreds and 
hundreds of dollars, which is 

114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200
actually not the case. 
So, I thought about myself, when

115
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,400
I started to do model, my 
practice based off this model 

116
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,900
doing Direct. 
Time your case. 

117
00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:05,300
So that really allows us to 
stand out from others that are 

118
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,400
in the local area. 
Yeah. 

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,400
That's really cool. 
And again, I think the fact that

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,600
you can provide care in a way 
that you want to provide care, 

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,200
is also really important again 
because one of the things that 

122
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,300
you find whenever you work in 
primary care or you just work in

123
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:22,300
a hospital setting and you're 
having to work for someone 

124
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:24,700
else's, you've got to adhere to 
what they say, right? 

125
00:06:24,700 --> 00:06:28,000
So by kind of creating something
that you're like, no I feel like

126
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,400
I'm servicing a population of 
people that Are like me that are

127
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:35,100
entrepreneurs or maybe again 
growing business or don't have 

128
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:36,000
the excuse. 
No, the money. 

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,600
At this time I can actually 
support them and give them good 

130
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,300
quality care. 
I think that's I think that's 

131
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:41,400
really great. 
Yeah. 

132
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400
What made you decide to start 
your own business in 2019? 

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,300
Like again what made you go? 
Like I think it's time for me to

134
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:51,700
brush all my own. 
It was something that I knew I 

135
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:56,400
was going to do probably around 
2016 2017 I knew after I 

136
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:01,100
graduated with my masters in 
2015 and I was In an internal 

137
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:05,500
medical practice. 
So I was there for about a year 

138
00:07:05,700 --> 00:07:09,400
and as I made a decision to go 
back to school for my doctorate.

139
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:13,600
Once I started that program in 
2017, I pretty much knew at that

140
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,700
point, that that was what I 
wanted to do. 

141
00:07:15,900 --> 00:07:20,200
And I knew that there were 
things that I wanted to 

142
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:24,000
accomplish that, I wasn't going 
to be able to do that. 

143
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Just working for someone or 
working for some healthcare 

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,100
Healthcare System. 
And I know means, you know, I 

145
00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,200
tell people this meant it is 
very honorable, to have, you 

146
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,900
know, a good paying position 
you're working professionally as

147
00:07:37,900 --> 00:07:40,400
an employee. 
I just knew for me, there was 

148
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,400
more, there was no money to do, 
there was more money to see and 

149
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,100
it was outside of just, you 
know, my regular what became an 

150
00:07:49,100 --> 00:07:51,500
office job. 
It it literally, that's what it 

151
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:54,200
became to me. 
A Monday through Friday 9 to 5 

152
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:57,400
and I just said, you know 
there's got to be something more

153
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,900
and there's got to be a way that
I can do this. 

154
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,600
But do it differently from what 
I've been seeing and what I'm 

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,000
accustomed to. 
Yeah. 

156
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:06,800
Yeah. 
So it's turning the work into a 

157
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,000
passion right away. 
I wanted some love. 

158
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:12,100
Yeah, I wanted to love what I 
was doing. 

159
00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:16,300
I didn't want to dread, you 
know, coming in and just dealing

160
00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:19,500
with the other things that come 
with, you know, being working on

161
00:08:19,500 --> 00:08:22,800
a job. 
Your and I, I felt like no 

162
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,100
matter where I worked, I never 
fit into the mold, either that 

163
00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:31,600
company, or that office. 
I just I felt like I was always 

164
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,400
trying to strive to do more and 
so with that I said you know 

165
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,100
what, I knew that that 
entrepreneurship was probably 

166
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,000
the route was going to go in and
starting my own practice. 

167
00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:42,700
Yeah. 
So one of the things, the elite 

168
00:08:42,700 --> 00:08:45,700
nurse practitioner, Justin Alan,
he's been on the podcast before,

169
00:08:45,700 --> 00:08:48,700
he's so fabulous. 
But there's also a financial 

170
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:51,900
stealing that you hit when you 
work in Primary Care practices 

171
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:55,200
that the doctors have control 
over what you can make and what 

172
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,700
you can bring home, and you have
to kind of negotiate for your 

173
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:00,100
RV. 
Use all these different things. 

174
00:09:00,300 --> 00:09:03,300
That again when you own your own
protest, like you're just like 

175
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,200
gushing like I'm doing, you 
know, so it's also the financial

176
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,200
aspect as well. 
Yeah, my God, I love to focus on

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,700
the passion part and making sure
you're enjoying what you're 

178
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:15,000
doing. 
But let's be real. 

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,900
We all want to get paid, so it's
like night. 

180
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:19,900
There's also that aspect that 
there's a lot, a lot more 

181
00:09:19,900 --> 00:09:22,900
responsibility, but there's also
a lot more to gain when you're 

182
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:26,000
able to get those systems in 
place to operate your business. 

183
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,100
You're able to really create 
what it is that you want as far.

184
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Far as making money and way the 
patient load things like that 

185
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,100
and you get to decide. 
I don't want to see this patient

186
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,300
because they're, you know, 
inappropriate or whatever. 

187
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:40,900
And you can just make it from 
your clinic. 

188
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:43,600
Like, there's many great things 
were working out. 

189
00:09:43,900 --> 00:09:45,800
Yeah. 
You have a choice like, you need

190
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,200
to go in there. 
You're like, abusive, like 

191
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,500
they're not cops. 
Yeah, you know. 

192
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:52,100
So you get so much more 
autonomy. 

193
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:54,300
And that autonomy, I know it 
does come with a little bit of a

194
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:57,000
cost, but for some people, it's 
totally worth it. 

195
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,100
So, how did you know when you 
were ready to become? 

196
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,900
Entrepreneur, or was it 
something that you was a slow 

197
00:10:02,900 --> 00:10:04,300
build? 
Like you started with a slow 

198
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:06,600
little side, hustle of like 
seeing patients on the side 

199
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,400
while working at your, you know,
your job and then you slowly 

200
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,600
transitioned over, or did you 
just jump all in pretty much? 

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,800
I took the time to, you know, 
work out the details and do the 

202
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,100
research of how I was going to 
actually do this. 

203
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:21,100
So I did that while obtaining, 
my doctorate. 

204
00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:25,300
So I kind of was like in school 
and then also doing my research 

205
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:28,800
on my own on the side. 
And once I got all the details 

206
00:10:28,900 --> 00:10:32,500
and what I felt, I I was ready, 
literally one day. 

207
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,200
I was it wasn't like, you know, 
I was said, oh I planned it out 

208
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,400
and I said on this day I'm going
to launch. 

209
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,100
Literally one day. 
I said, no, I'm doing this, I'm 

210
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,900
doing this. 
And I'm starting it to day and I

211
00:10:43,900 --> 00:10:47,200
remember, you know, doing the 
legal things that I need to get 

212
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,400
in place, making the right phone
call. 

213
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:52,700
And I want to stay within two 
weeks, I was seeing my first 

214
00:10:52,700 --> 00:10:55,100
patient. 
You know, I had to like on, I 

215
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,000
don't even have a website yet. 
I had like just posted on social

216
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
media and enjoy. 
Seemed like my first patient. 

217
00:11:02,100 --> 00:11:06,500
So I literally just I went from,
you know, kind of like a steady 

218
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:09,300
process and doing the research 
and then literally, I just one 

219
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:10,600
day, I just said, it's time to 
go. 

220
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,300
It's time for me to do this, and
it literally has continued to 

221
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:15,500
build since. 
Then. 

222
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,700
I started out very small and 
very had a lot of free time just

223
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:21,400
because, you know, I didn't have
a lot of Nations. 

224
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,300
If I owned a lot of people had a
lot of time to, you know, figure

225
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:30,500
out the details work out, the 
Kinks States, you know. - 

226
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:34,500
definitely is a process in 
itself, but Healthcare Medical 

227
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:36,900
Practice business. 
That's a whole different ball 

228
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:38,200
game. 
So there was a lot of things 

229
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,600
that I learned, as I started 
that, I feel like if I didn't 

230
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,800
start, I would not have learned 
those things. 

231
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:47,700
There's just some things that 
you are going to come across in 

232
00:11:47,700 --> 00:11:50,900
the process that unless you 
actually start the process, you 

233
00:11:50,900 --> 00:11:53,500
won't even notice you won't see 
these things. 

234
00:11:53,700 --> 00:11:57,000
So I slowly built, you know, I 
started doing house calls, I was

235
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,000
going to see patients after 
after work on the weekend. 

236
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,700
Yes. 
And then I transitioned to a 

237
00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:05,900
small, you know, one room 
office. 

238
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,200
And I had it set up like an exam
room. 

239
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,800
It was literally my my work 
office and exam room all in one.

240
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:13,600
Yeah. 
And then next thing, you know, I

241
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,800
was like, moving on to, you 
know, another office and then a 

242
00:12:16,808 --> 00:12:20,400
bigger office, and I literally 
just signed a contract for a new

243
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,500
building. 
So, last week, so, it just, I 

244
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,300
just continued to build. 
And there wasn't, I can't give 

245
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:28,800
anyone like, you know, a road 
map. 

246
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,700
Okay, this is what I I did hear 
this is what I did there. 

247
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,700
It just came as I went now. 
I can you know give someone more

248
00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:39,100
of a guideline and I can help 
people which is what I do now 

249
00:12:39,100 --> 00:12:43,500
and because I've gone through 
that process, that took me maybe

250
00:12:43,700 --> 00:12:47,100
two to three years to figure out
where now I'm helping people and

251
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:50,300
they've got it done in like 3 
months and they're launching and

252
00:12:50,300 --> 00:12:53,200
they're, you know, having your 
grand opening. 

253
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,200
So I'm glad I went on the 
journey because I just filled 

254
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,000
in, you know, because I my 
journey was the way. 

255
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,500
Was that has just allowed me to 
be a source of information and 

256
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:08,700
then putting influence to others
out there that want to do the 

257
00:13:08,700 --> 00:13:11,700
same thing. 
Yeah, that's really really good.

258
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,600
And I'm going to stop on there 
for just a couple minutes 

259
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,600
because I think one of the 
things that you said that was 

260
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:20,600
important was that you shrunk 
your time frame from when it 

261
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,400
took you to launch, it's a 
really be proficient and you 

262
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,100
know, have your business running
well and now you're able to 

263
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:28,800
shrink that time. 
And so one of the other guest on

264
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,800
my podcast said, you know, if 
you don't have the money, you're

265
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,000
going to struggle a little bit 
more if you can't pay for the 

266
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,200
resources, right? 
But you just got to put in the 

267
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,100
work. 
So the work is what you end up 

268
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:42,100
leveraging. 
But if you can pay someone to 

269
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:45,900
get you there faster than that, 
is another way of getting your 

270
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:48,400
business off the ground. 
That's completely absolutely 

271
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,500
appropriate. 
And if you're able to save up 

272
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:52,300
that money. 
So what I always tell people is 

273
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,800
like if you have a day job, keep
working that day job seeing the 

274
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,700
money so that you can have 
someone teach you reputable but 

275
00:13:59,700 --> 00:14:04,500
he To how to build a business on
the side and to start small, if 

276
00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:07,600
you said starting on the 
weekends again, you're grinding,

277
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:12,400
it sucks to grind it did good. 
You're like, I want to be home 

278
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,200
watching Netflix and chilling 
but then you think of that 

279
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,700
person that's like who you are 
today. 

280
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:21,600
Now you're teaching people how 
to build their businesses and to

281
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,300
start off. 
And so it's like, yeah. 

282
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,100
You got to put in that grind 
work. 

283
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,600
I tell myself a different times 
and I've been like, grinding and

284
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,100
I'm like, I'm pregnant. 
I'm tired. 

285
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:30,600
I don't want to grind. 
More, you know? 

286
00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:33,300
And so I'm just, like, Sandra 
like you're doing this for the 

287
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:37,800
future that future, man, that 
future so that you can go and 

288
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,300
say, like, I grab I remember 
grinding, like, just like you 

289
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:44,400
spend your time in the trenches,
as a nurse, and you have such a 

290
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,800
theory when a nurses, I can you 
help me? 

291
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,400
I'm like, of course, what do you
mean to do? 

292
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,900
Like, because I've been there, 
you know, you just have more 

293
00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:51,700
perspective. 
Yeah, yeah. 

294
00:14:51,700 --> 00:14:53,300
I think that's a really, really 
good. 

295
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,500
Really. 
Good advice. 

296
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,900
What's one aspect of business? 
That's been difficult to 

297
00:14:56,900 --> 00:15:00,000
overcome and what is one aspect 
of business? 

298
00:15:00,100 --> 00:15:03,400
It's been easy because of your 
background as a nurse, so one 

299
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,200
factor of so one. 
So yeah. 

300
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000
So one thing that was hard and 
one thing that was easy. 

301
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:09,800
Thanks for listening to the 
episode.

315
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,400
Now, let's get back to the 
episode. 

316
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,400
So I think one thing that is 
always it gets it gets easier 

317
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,200
over time. 
It's always a challenge is 

318
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,800
marketing. 
Marketing is always a challenge 

319
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:09,000
because the age we live in is 
very, you know, social media 

320
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,700
driven. 
So what used to work, you know, 

321
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,600
five ten years ago is totally 
different. 

322
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,100
Now, you know, it used to be the
standard, you know, get business

323
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:20,600
cards and have business cards 
hand them out. 

324
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,300
Now, it's like you have to be 
present on social media. 

325
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:28,200
You have to be very Innovative 
in how you mark Market, your 

326
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,500
services and Being able to 
really capture the attention of 

327
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,400
people who need your services. 
So marketing, I feel like it's 

328
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,000
something, I'm certainly 
learning. 

329
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:41,300
Literally like every day on how 
to be better, do better in my 

330
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:46,100
marketing as far as what has 
helped me or what is not so 

331
00:16:46,100 --> 00:16:49,900
difficult. 
I think bleed just the Hands-On 

332
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:55,700
aspect of his being a hard 
worker and working hard to build

333
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:57,700
my business. 
Just because that comes 

334
00:16:57,700 --> 00:17:01,900
naturally from my educational, 
Vegetable background and just 

335
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:05,200
getting in there and doing the 
research and reading and 

336
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,900
challenging myself. 
So that part comes easy because 

337
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:11,599
it's a part of who I am. 
You know, I've taken, you know, 

338
00:17:11,608 --> 00:17:13,800
the NCLEX I'm taking the board 
exam. 

339
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,200
I've seen the most complex 
patients and so that part comes 

340
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,800
easy to me because I understand 
what it is to, you know, work 

341
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,700
hard and challenge myself. 
So, yeah, so definitely 

342
00:17:24,700 --> 00:17:27,800
marketing is that marketing is 
definitely the one thing that I 

343
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,900
would say is always become 
Nothing that I'm playing 

344
00:17:30,900 --> 00:17:34,000
learning and you know, wanting 
to do better at. 

345
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Yeah. 
I will I will say this because 

346
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,400
I've come out and made comments 
that I feel like the doctorate 

347
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,800
in nursing is and I know this is
going to be very controversial. 

348
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,800
So, here we go. 
Let me just stir the pot. 

349
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,500
But like, sometimes I feel like 
the doctor nursing which I have 

350
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,400
obtained. 
So I'm saying this with doing 

351
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,900
the work, so it's not from a 
place of like I think it's 

352
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:56,400
garbage and I haven't done it. 
Now I've done it, so I 

353
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,300
definitely feel like the 
Doctorate of nursing didn't 

354
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:02,700
necessarily get. 
Give me any other career options

355
00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,000
unless I was going to climb the 
corporate ladder, right? 

356
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
So like that's how I felt about 
the degree and to a certain 

357
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,400
extent I felt like for my time 
in my life that was not the best

358
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,100
use of my time. 
But when I will and I'll just 

359
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:18,900
just say it's a lot of money and
by the grace of God I got it for

360
00:18:18,900 --> 00:18:20,700
free. 
So if I work for the most part 

361
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,200
paid for so if I would have had 
to pay for that degree 

362
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,800
completely out of pocket, I 
would have been really upset. 

363
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:30,000
Yeah the outcome I'm going to be
100 but I will even add and I I 

364
00:18:30,008 --> 00:18:34,200
will say this that what the 
doctor did give me is the 

365
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,600
ability to push myself to the 
Limit and know that I still had 

366
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,200
more. 
And so I still had more. 

367
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,300
I could give that's one of the 
things that I look back and I'm 

368
00:18:45,308 --> 00:18:50,600
like I can't regret it because 
yes the work and necessarily the

369
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,300
trajectory of my career. 
I don't see going up the 

370
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:56,300
hospital chain of command. 
I just don't like I don't that 

371
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:57,900
doesn't appeal to me. 
Yeah. 

372
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:01,600
But but I Do you think that it 
taught me? 

373
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,300
And I don't know if you feel 
this way, you might agree or 

374
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:08,300
disagree, but I felt like it did
teach me how to push myself to 

375
00:19:08,300 --> 00:19:11,900
the edge and to the limit of how
much can I learn? 

376
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,000
How much can I be an expert in 
area? 

377
00:19:14,300 --> 00:19:18,900
How much can I really work? 
And that work ethic is something

378
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:21,200
now that I can't turn off. 
Like my husband lost all the 

379
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,200
time. 
He's like, you hustle so hard. 

380
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,200
I'm like, I had to, I work 
part-time as a nurse 

381
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,900
practitioner. 
Yes, we're finished. 

382
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,200
My doctorate had to do the 
project. 

383
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,300
Like get the classes done. 
I had a Fallout like there were 

384
00:19:32,300 --> 00:19:35,800
so much that I had to just do 
that almost feel like doctors 

385
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,700
like when they finally get out 
into practice and like more, 

386
00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:43,400
they have a break to like to do 
it myself like, right? 

387
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,500
Because it's always so busy. 
You know that you're describing,

388
00:19:47,500 --> 00:19:52,300
I know was definitely flame 
during my doctoral degree and 

389
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:55,300
definitely something that I'm 
not saying you can't get another

390
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:58,700
way. 
I just know that it helps me 

391
00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:02,900
personally develop A person 
personally develop as a person, 

392
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:05,500
but you know what I mean? 
Like, yeah, it's not a big as a 

393
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:09,700
person like character that work 
ethic characters with what 

394
00:20:09,700 --> 00:20:13,300
really gave me, which is, I 
think very valuable, especially 

395
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:14,500
yeah. 
Saying, Hey listen, I'm an 

396
00:20:14,508 --> 00:20:16,000
entrepreneur. 
I've got to be working. 

397
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,200
I don't have those options of, 
you know, there's nobody else to

398
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,600
do it. 
There's nobody else is lying, 

399
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:21,500
doctoral program. 
Is he? 

400
00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:23,000
So you got a message this 
person. 

401
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,700
You gotta call this part. 
Like it's all that stuff. 

402
00:20:25,700 --> 00:20:27,500
I think it's good character 
building. 

403
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,400
So passionately, what do you 
think? 

404
00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:33,800
For me, it was once I made the 
decision to obtain my doctorate.

405
00:20:34,100 --> 00:20:37,000
For me, it was just a matter of 
wine, why not? 

406
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,100
Just go all the way. 
If there's something for me to 

407
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:42,700
obtain and it's at its high 
tides level. 

408
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,000
So if we think about like, well,
if your company says, the 

409
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:51,100
highest salary you can make is 
150,000, you make 100,000, 

410
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,800
you're going to work your butt 
off to get 150,000, so if you're

411
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,200
free right? 
So there's a educational 

412
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:03,100
program, it for my Profession. 
That is at its highest level. 

413
00:21:03,100 --> 00:21:05,600
I want that highest level. 
I don't want to shortchange 

414
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,700
myself. 
Yeah, and so, one thing I've 

415
00:21:07,700 --> 00:21:11,200
learned over the years is that 
the doctorate program, the dnp 

416
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,700
specifically is not for 
everyone. 

417
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:16,800
By no means there are some 
individuals that it's not for 

418
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,700
them and that's okay. 
There are some individuals that 

419
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:24,700
they know that there's more they
wanted and yet they, I see this.

420
00:21:24,700 --> 00:21:27,300
A lot of seed a lot on social 
media where there's always 

421
00:21:27,300 --> 00:21:30,400
people like saying, oh, the 
doctor degree dnp, Program is 

422
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,600
unnecessary you need. 
It's a waste of time and space 

423
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,900
money, but that might be the 
case for you. 

424
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,300
But for others may not be the 
case because they may want to 

425
00:21:39,300 --> 00:21:42,900
achieve more. 
And I guess let me be honest. 

426
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:46,200
The that having the title gives 
you a lot a lot. 

427
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,900
At least it gave me a lot of 
Leverage. 

428
00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:51,500
It gave me a lot of Leverage 
professionally and financially 

429
00:21:51,500 --> 00:21:54,800
and for opportunities and it 
just it just opened a lot of 

430
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:59,700
doors for me where people didn't
see me as just Jessica Chung 

431
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,100
Nurse practitioner but now it 
was like, oh, you're dr. 

432
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:06,400
Jessica Chung doctor of nursing 
practice and family nurse 

433
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,700
practitioner. 
We would love to for you to join

434
00:22:08,700 --> 00:22:12,000
us to do this or that and we 
want you to speak here and we 

435
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,300
would love to collaborate with 
you on this and that. 

436
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,400
So I mean you know, people will 
say whatever they want but for 

437
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,700
me it was it opened doors. 
It allowed me to gain a lot of 

438
00:22:22,700 --> 00:22:26,200
Leverage. 
A lot of opportunities was if I 

439
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,300
was still working for a company 
or incorporate health care, then

440
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:32,300
maybe a It would definitely have
allowed me to climb the 

441
00:22:32,300 --> 00:22:35,600
corporate ladder, sure, but it 
was just a personal decision, I 

442
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,200
made to just obtain the highest 
standard of, what is, what was 

443
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,500
available to the uh, one of the 
things I wanted to ask you. 

444
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:47,200
And again, this again might be 
stirring the pot a little bit 

445
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,200
but did you hear about the nurse
practitioner? 

446
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,300
Who had been calling herself? 
Dr. Absolutely yeah. 

447
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,500
And you know she's gotten sued 
by The Physicians. 

448
00:22:55,500 --> 00:22:57,800
What did you think about that? 
I mean what we love yours now I 

449
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,800
read a couple articles because 
you know, I'm like, whoa. 

450
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,500
I want to hear the whole story, 
and, of course, sure. 

451
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:04,600
Sometimes articles can be 
written bias. 

452
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,300
Yes. 
Hi, you know, it, when I read 

453
00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:11,400
the article, it's easy, does it 
possibly maybe she was targeted 

454
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,300
by an individual or individuals?
It didn't seem like, you know, 

455
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:19,600
all of a sudden, you know, there
was this, you know, Grand 

456
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,400
investigation on all nurse 
practitioners and let's find the

457
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,100
ones that are was targeting. 
Like, maybe, you know, I don't 

458
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:28,600
know, maybe maybe it was a 
patient complained. 

459
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,700
They was a patient. 
That wasn't Copy with her plan 

460
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,500
of care. 
Maybe they wanted to, you know, 

461
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:37,400
just find a way to get back at 
that. 

462
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:41,800
I feel that, you know, let me be
clear is that this is also 

463
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,700
States. 
So if the law says that you 

464
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:48,600
can't use that title, No Matter 
What, as far as the prefix, the 

465
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,400
then you have to follow the 
wall. 

466
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:56,400
But if the last days, right? 
I mean it is what it is. 

467
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,200
Now, if your state says well, 
Use it, but you have to be 

468
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,700
designate, you know, your your 
degree in which you are using 

469
00:24:04,700 --> 00:24:06,900
that title, then you should do 
that as well. 

470
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,600
And so, what for me, I've always
liked plastered on social media.

471
00:24:12,900 --> 00:24:16,700
I'm a doctor of nursing practice
is plastered over my website, 

472
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:19,600
so, because I'm not here to fool
anybody. 

473
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,800
I'm making it very clear. 
I Cohen go into my see my 

474
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,000
patients, I'm dr. 
Jessica Jung, dr. 

475
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,700
Chung nurse practitioner as in 
the same of my tongue like I do.

476
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:36,400
You know, I make a very clear 
and so I think that you just 

477
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,000
have to know your state laws. 
I probably am very surprised at 

478
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,700
how many nurse practitioners and
nurses don't know their state 

479
00:24:42,700 --> 00:24:45,600
laws regarding their profession 
surprises form. 

480
00:24:45,700 --> 00:24:49,200
And it's scary because a lot of 
people come to me saying, hey, 

481
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,500
you know, I want to do this and 
not, and I'll say, okay, what is

482
00:24:52,500 --> 00:24:54,900
your state law? 
Say, what is, what is the 

483
00:24:54,900 --> 00:24:58,100
statues, whether the, what are 
the, you know, the regulations? 

484
00:24:58,100 --> 00:24:59,300
And that way, I don't know. 
Yeah. 

485
00:24:59,900 --> 00:25:02,800
And you know, that's scary 
because forget about starting a 

486
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,600
business, you're a professional 
and you should understand your 

487
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,500
state laws in which you're 
practicing. 

488
00:25:09,100 --> 00:25:13,600
And so you have to understand 
and know your state laws to seek

489
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,400
out an attorney, I feel like 
people just shy away from 

490
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,400
because just simply I don't want
to pay for one and I think that 

491
00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:22,000
that is one of the best 
investments I've made as a 

492
00:25:22,008 --> 00:25:25,500
professional and a business 
owner so that they can help you 

493
00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,300
and understanding okay what it 
is that you're doing and what it

494
00:25:28,300 --> 00:25:31,600
is you're trying to do. 
So you know I feel like there's 

495
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:36,800
a there's a lot probably to that
story that we don't know. 

496
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,700
Yeah. 
But that goes to say that those 

497
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:43,300
state laws were for that 
individual in her State then 

498
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:45,600
they have to be followed the 
state laws. 

499
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,900
Trump you'll you know professors
agree. 

500
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,400
Yeah. 
It's really nice. 

501
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,500
You could have you go to the 
best college, you get that 

502
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:54,200
degree. 
You fade. 

503
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,100
They confer you with that title,
but if your state law says no, 

504
00:25:58,100 --> 00:26:01,600
you can't use it the prefix. 
At least then you, you have to 

505
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,500
follow the state laws. 
That's so good. 

506
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,300
Yeah, Jessica, what is one thing
that you would tell your younger

507
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,400
self? 
If you can go back to the start 

508
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,700
of your career, as a nurse that 
you would say I would want her 

509
00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:16,100
to know this. 
Before she gets going. 

510
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:19,600
What's one thing you tell her 
probably tell I would tell her 

511
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,600
don't settle. 
Oh don't settle at all. 

512
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,200
Yeah that that is something I 
told myself now and every of my 

513
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,700
life I do not settle and I would
tell younger Jessica, don't 

514
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:37,100
settle in and in my own way, I 
don't feel like I've ever 

515
00:26:37,100 --> 00:26:39,500
settled by. 
I don't feel like that I was as 

516
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:45,900
confident as I should have been 
even being younger and so you 

517
00:26:45,900 --> 00:26:49,600
know don't settle it is that you
want to dream what you believe 

518
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,700
in what you want to do. 
Just don't settle. 

519
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Yeah that's so good. 
I love that and that was the 

520
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,700
last question of the podcast so 
I want to end on that note. 

521
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:03,100
Do not settle know, your worst 
know your value. 

522
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:06,900
And again, spend some time 
figuring out what you want to do

523
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:11,100
so much more important to 
understand the mission of your 

524
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,500
career and what you want to 
build. 

525
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,200
Yeah, more so than just getting 
a job and I was so focused in on

526
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,500
just get a job, get a job as a 
nurse, they got one, good job as

527
00:27:20,508 --> 00:27:21,600
a nurse practitioner. 
Okay, got one. 

528
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:22,500
Okay. 
Good job. 

529
00:27:22,500 --> 00:27:24,100
You're losing your job. 
Get one, get one. 

530
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:27,600
Got one. 
So now there's this like, like, 

531
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,700
instant messaging and checking 
in that I'm doing. 

532
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800
With myself. 
I'm like just what I want for my

533
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,500
career like is yeah for my you 
know that conversation I was not

534
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:40,100
having with myself and now I 
have it on the rag and I'm 

535
00:27:40,100 --> 00:27:44,600
constantly checking in with this
is aligned with the life and I 

536
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,300
don't, I don't, I didn't do 
that. 

537
00:27:46,300 --> 00:27:50,000
I was so thankful just to be 
taking like, you know, like at 

538
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,700
the school dance. 
I'm so glad I have a damn 

539
00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:58,000
partner but it's enough sucks. 
You can't tell Yang like, you 

540
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,100
know, the one that's over there.
Like That, you know, like it's 

541
00:28:01,100 --> 00:28:02,900
on the salsa dancer. 
So that's kind of how I feel. 

542
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:04,500
Yeah. 
Like you look and you're just 

543
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:06,200
like, oh, he looks like he's a 
good dancer. 

544
00:28:06,500 --> 00:28:09,400
Yeah. 
Now, having more of that 

545
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,100
mentality of like, what is it 
that I want and chasing that 

546
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,100
getting in doing the things to 
get me there. 

547
00:28:15,100 --> 00:28:19,200
I think is so smart and just, 
again, just not settling on. 

548
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,100
This is what I have to take. 
And, you know, that's job sucks.

549
00:28:23,100 --> 00:28:24,500
And I hate my life and I don't 
like doing. 

550
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:27,300
Yeah, I'm trying to move kind of
move away. 

551
00:28:28,300 --> 00:28:30,300
Yeah. 
So for the last part, Of the 

552
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,800
podcast, is the rapid fire 
questions and these are just fun

553
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Barbara. 
See your pants. 

554
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:36,200
Are you ready to go? 
Okay. 

555
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:39,300
All right, I'm ready. 
It's so how do you answer your 

556
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:40,400
phone? 
Hello. 

557
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,200
You say he's just a hello. 
It depends. 

558
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,400
If it's my purse. 
If it's personal. 

559
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,600
Phone ringing. 
It's my mom. 

560
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:57,200
I'm like, yes, Mom. 
Oh, respect, 28 times a day. 

561
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,900
So, I'm like, what's going on 
now? 

562
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,100
Yeah. 
It's you know it's just baby out

563
00:29:03,300 --> 00:29:05,800
if especially if it's the 
office, I'll just have to say 

564
00:29:05,900 --> 00:29:08,000
hello. 
Thank you for calling because I 

565
00:29:08,008 --> 00:29:09,700
don't want to know. 
I don't want the patients to 

566
00:29:09,700 --> 00:29:14,200
know I'm answering. 
So I'll just say hello. 

567
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,900
How can I help you? 
You just gave your chip away. 

568
00:29:16,900 --> 00:29:27,800
Now, you're grateful for the 
whole world. 

569
00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:31,900
My salvation. 
Come on. 

570
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:36,700
Yes, yes, yes, yes. 
I, you know, I have a 

571
00:29:36,700 --> 00:29:41,600
relationship with the Lord that 
I did not grow up having and my 

572
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,300
relationship with God has just 
opened, it's just amazing. 

573
00:29:47,300 --> 00:29:50,200
What? 
When I pray and I see God and 

574
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:55,500
knowing it's because I took a 
step to join in him with a 

575
00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:57,600
relationship. 
It's just like, you know, if you

576
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,300
want to join with, you know, a 
woman joins with And and so I 

577
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:04,900
joined with God, I took that 
step almost 10 years ago. 

578
00:30:04,900 --> 00:30:07,400
Move, once I moved down to 
Florida, I joined it. 

579
00:30:07,500 --> 00:30:10,100
I was baptized in Jesus name. 
God filled me with the Holy 

580
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:12,900
Ghost and I'm telling you, 
there's not a day. 

581
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:16,100
I look back on my life before 
that I am grateful. 

582
00:30:16,700 --> 00:30:19,300
God has brought me and where 
he's taking me. 

583
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:24,500
I love that, I love that because
there's so many aspects of I 

584
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:28,400
Believe Miss and stepping out in
faith and yeah, working in that,

585
00:30:28,500 --> 00:30:31,900
in that space. 
Not a lot of the world will say,

586
00:30:31,900 --> 00:30:35,200
like, oh, it's the universe, 
like, whatever, but whatever it 

587
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,000
is that you call your source, 
for me, I got, it's the same, 

588
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,800
it's God. 
There is a connection with the 

589
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,700
Lord, as you build something 
almost like Noah's Ark. 

590
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,100
Almost like this other thing. 
Were you building this big? 

591
00:30:47,300 --> 00:30:50,800
This huge thing that you're just
like God direct my steps as I 

592
00:30:50,808 --> 00:30:54,600
may guess tensions and show me, 
you know, put somebody ahead of 

593
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:57,100
me to help me out and the 
different things that again. 

594
00:30:57,300 --> 00:31:00,800
I think we he wants to lead us. 
In certain things, and if he's 

595
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,600
called you to own your own 
business, he's going to equip 

596
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,600
you and settlement lie. 
I have got is a very, very good 

597
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,800
thing and a wonderful thing to 
be grateful for, and if you had 

598
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,800
to give someone a book to read, 
which would it be? 

599
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,800
And again, this can be on 
anything. 

600
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,700
But a book to read that you're 
like this is this is the go-to 

601
00:31:20,700 --> 00:31:24,200
book, you know, here sound good 
to give to obviously the Bible. 

602
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,500
Yes. 
Okay. 

603
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,500
One of the greatest business 
books. 

604
00:31:27,700 --> 00:31:29,400
Yeah. 
Everything you need is in that 

605
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,700
book. 
Look, let me just be clear. 

606
00:31:30,700 --> 00:31:33,200
True. 
That's true, there trust me. 

607
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,000
That won't happen if you need to
search out the scriptures, think

608
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,400
it's in there for you. 
The second book I would say is 

609
00:31:40,500 --> 00:31:43,400
action has no season. 
I forgot the author's name, but 

610
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,400
he's an attorney. 
But in the book, he talks about 

611
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:50,400
the fact that taking action 
making the tour taking that next

612
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,800
step in your life and your 
profession and your business, 

613
00:31:53,300 --> 00:31:57,700
that there is no right or wrong 
time, action has no season. 

614
00:31:57,700 --> 00:31:59,600
It, is that you're going to take
action. 

615
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
You are, you're not and you're 
going to miss out. 

616
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:06,600
So I would recommend that you 
action has no season yet. 

617
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,600
That is so good but it sounds 
like again, going back to not 

618
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,900
procrastinating. 
Just do it now. 

619
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:15,100
And I talked about that all the 
time. 

620
00:32:15,100 --> 00:32:17,900
I have a little sign in my 
office that says yesterday 

621
00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:19,900
crossed out tomorrow crossed 
out. 

622
00:32:19,900 --> 00:32:20,600
Do it. 
Yeah. 

623
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Do it now and I love that 
because there's nothing that's 

624
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,100

right now. 

625
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:28,500
And so yeah I love that.

Bible because I think the Bible

simple money hacks and money
