When you make that 3 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.359 decision, when you accept the mission to become a solo preneur to take yourself 4 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:20.280 and your talents to market, then you embrace a life of not only unlimited 5 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:25.280 possibilities, but also the unknown.

And yeah, so introduce yourself please, and welcome 44 00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.439 to the Mission Accepted show. Well, thank you, thank you, thank 45 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.879 you. You have been absolutely gracious, You have been absolutely wonderful, and 46 00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.479 you listen. I am a fan, all right, so let's let's just 47 00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.599 start this off. So my name is Dartre Vilda Peers, and I am 48 00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:20.199 the CEO of VP Nursing in the Nurse Dartur. One is a nonprofit and 49 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.360 one's a for profit. And what we do is we teach nurses to work 50 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.719 from anywhere around the world, making money and owning their own time, voting 51 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.000 profitable nurse coaching and consulting businesses. Wow. So look, I know a 52 00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:37.199 little bit of the backstory, which is why I asked this woman to come 53 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.680 onto the show and share, because look at I think we've all had those 54 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:46.680 experiences where we felt like something just wasn't quite right. We didn't really know 55 00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:53.080 if we had voice. We may have been in a particular sector or culture 56 00:03:53.439 --> 00:04:00.639 or philosophy or methodology around our careers or around our family. Is there any 57 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.960 kind of sort of structure. And she's got a pretty cool story that she 58 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.800 decided to make a change. And many times it's not an easy decision to 59 00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.639 make a change. We talk about it on these shows or we're standing on 60 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.560 stage and we're like, yeah, da da da da da da da from 61 00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.319 my mess to my message and here we are. But there is like emotional 62 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:24.680 time, there's decision making, there's considerations, there's family, my family, 63 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.680 your family who is going to affect and it's going to change the dynamics. 64 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.639 There's all sorts of things that goes on in the background. And so look 65 00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.560 at when I mean, obviously we're talking about nurses today, but whatever you 66 00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:41.079 whoever you are, and whatever who's listening to us, you may have that 67 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.480 time where you need to make change. And then, much like you, 68 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.279 we take on a bit of a mission, not just for ourselves for that 69 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.399 change, but then we want to envelop that, and we want to incorporate 70 00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.879 that, and we want to share that message. And obviously we both have 71 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.040 international businesses where your information is global. I mean, I think empowerment is 72 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:03.040 a pretty global conversation to be having. But in a sector where necessarily you 73 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:08.279 weren't feeling maybe empowered or heard or what have you, or able to make 74 00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.920 decisions for your family that were going to suit you. Maybe can you give 75 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.120 us a little backstory on why you're sitting here rocking out the world of helping 76 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.360 nurses. Well, so let's let's give my mama some props, because she's 77 00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.800 an amazing She was an amazing person. She passed away last year and one 78 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.199 of the things that she did was she encouraged me to go into nursing. 79 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:30.399 I wanted to be an engineer from the very beginning, and she was like, 80 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.240 naw, we can't do that, Let's do nursing. And so we 81 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.560 did nursing. So I've been to nurse. I've been to nurse at this 82 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:41.399 point for a number of years and worked in the emergency department for about fifteen 83 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.920 years. And I went up to a manager or a role, and because 84 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:53.120 I believed, you know, over the years, what happened was we were 85 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:58.240 it was almost like the frog that's in the cool water and that's the water 86 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:01.079 heaps up and it heats up, and it heats up right, and you 87 00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.839 don't realize that you're cooking, and then all of a sudden, it's just 88 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:09.399 like it's you know, you're just dying, right, And so I was 89 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.560 like, it was crazy. It was like we did not have enough support. 90 00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.040 Over the years, I just saw patient after patient come in and having 91 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:24.800 to take care of those patients sufficiently and effectively was really hard. And so 92 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.240 I said, well, what I knew that if I was not at the 93 00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.600 table, then I was on the menu. And so I went back and 94 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.639 I got degree after degree after degree because I felt like that was what I 95 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.480 needed to do as an African American female, is to get to that table. 96 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.399 And I felt like I couldn't get to that table unless I had all 97 00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.720 these degrees. So I went back and I got all these degrees. After 98 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.399 I got the degrees, I got to the table, they didn't want to 99 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:54.600 hear what I had to say. And so I remember I walked into because 100 00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.800 I was a readmissions manager at this particular hospital, and I remember I walked 101 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:03.720 into an office with the CEO, and I remember saying to him that we're 102 00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.560 going to work on the back end, because you know, we I have 103 00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.000 always and I knew when I was in the emergency department at one point in 104 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.319 time that we were performing sit care. Really it was really not healthcare. 105 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:21.240 It was sickcare because we were working reactively trying to fix in ten days what 106 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:25.600 has happened over the last ten years or twenty years, and that was not 107 00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.120 helping right. We couldn't do that. And so what I said was, 108 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:30.759 well, we're going to work on the back end, but then we need 109 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:33.879 to start working on the front end to help the nurses that are coming down 110 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.319 the line, because that's what I cared about was the nurses, right, 111 00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:41.879 And he said, well, we don't want to keep the patients out of 112 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.800 the hospital. And that's when I knew that his mission, vision of values 113 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.920 did not align with mine, because people are going to come into the hospital. 114 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.519 We're not going to get to every single solitary person, right. But 115 00:07:55.560 --> 00:08:00.519 the deal was that we need to make a sustainable change. And when I 116 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:03.600 when I knew that, I was like, well, you know, this 117 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:05.959 is not where I want to be. And I knew that. I saw 118 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.439 nurses who were going in performing twelve hour shifts and us as women, we're 119 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.560 the ones, which the majority of nurses are women, right, we're the 120 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.879 ones who are going in on these twelve hour shifts. You know, the 121 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.439 daycare opens at eight o'clock, they closed at five o'clock. Yet we're the 122 00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:30.920 ones who were held with the responsibility right to go out and you know, 123 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.159 bring home the bacon, right, and also take care of our children. 124 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.559 And then we have these children that are latch key kids, and we're not 125 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.480 able to do it because we're w two employees and because it takes away you 126 00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:46.440 know, taxes take away about fifty percent of your income anyway, So we 127 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.399 as nurses to have the ability to change the face of health care as we 128 00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.120 know it. All we have to do is we have to understand business. 129 00:08:54.559 --> 00:09:01.240 And so once I understood that, it was game changing. And so that's 130 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.799 when I decided to teach nurses how to take go into business for themselves. 131 00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:15.159 Wow. I would love to say what a unique story, But what I'm 132 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.360 happy to say is what a great ending to a beginning. So why don't 133 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.240 we kind of flip a little bit too. Now, there's a lot of 134 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.679 entrepreneurs out there, There's a lot of people on a mission, and they 135 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:33.000 have the most incredible idea, right and you had that download that message that 136 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:37.200 what you know, we all call it different things, and you're like, 137 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.559 oh, I just need to teach them business and then your business starts, 138 00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.600 right, So tell me what did it was? How did you go about 139 00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.639 gathering this information or getting this information out there? Like, you know, 140 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.159 we're nurses ready to hear. Were they scared to hear? Orre they like, 141 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:58.799 I don't know if I can go learn business, this is what I 142 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.960 do? Like what was you know? What was some of the stuff that 143 00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.960 you had to work through to get to where you are today, where you're 144 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.639 having a conference every year. You know, I've seen pictures, I've seen 145 00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.000 videos, I've seen you know it, heard the testimonials, But what was 146 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.559 that that would have been maybe a bit of you have to change people's minds. 147 00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.480 It reminds me of when I fell in love with holistic medicine when I 148 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.279 came into the music industry, and then try teaching people about a rooma therapy, 149 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.480 They're like aroma. What Like, I'm not sure. I'm not sure, 150 00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:30.759 you know? So what was that about? So it's interesting because I 151 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.600 started as a nonprofit and now I started it as a nonprofit because I felt 152 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.559 like I didn't have any resources in order to be able to really pay for 153 00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:41.679 to get a business started. And so my nonprofit was just a nurse nurturer. 154 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.639 Was to equit nurses to be spiritually and physically, it's responsible, financially 155 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.039 stable in order to live their perfect life. Right. But what I found 156 00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.759 with the nonprofit was that if you can't, you know, the nonprofit still 157 00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.759 needs to make profit. I mean, it just is what it is, 158 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:05.399 right. And so I so one of my coaches, I decided to get 159 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:09.120 a coach. And when I got a coach, my coach said, I 160 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.879 don't know, I really don't know how to navigate the nonprofit space, but 161 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:15.679 I do know how to navigate the for profit space. And so that's when 162 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.960 I started my for profit. And once I started the for profit, then 163 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.679 I was all over the place, Like I was doing financial literacy because I 164 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.720 went from bankruptcy to a credit score of over eight hundred. Right I was 165 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:33.519 doing I was being a health and wellness coach because I was a nurse and 166 00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.879 because you know, I had at least that I was doing all kinds of 167 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:46.240 things. And then I thought, well, it's the money that because once 168 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:50.759 you get hold and you need to have some money in order to be able 169 00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:54.840 to live your life. Because money makes a difference between an emergency and a 170 00:11:54.879 --> 00:12:00.519 mirreor inconvenience. If you if it's cold outside, Okay, it is cold 171 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.399 outside and your heating unit goes out and it costs five thousand dollars to fix 172 00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:09.440 it, and that makes the difference. If you don't have that money, 173 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.679 that is an emergency, but it's a mere convenience for you to just wait 174 00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.480 for the HVAC person to get there if you got the money in order to 175 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.480 pay them to do it right, And the reality was that I understood that. 176 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.600 I understood that at the core because a lot of times, a lot 177 00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.080 of people don't want to talk about money. They don't want to have that 178 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:31.159 conversation, and they don't want to have that conversation because it's not cool. 179 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.720 It's not you know, it's not cool to have that conversation. And I 180 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.919 said, we're going to have this conversation. And so then that's when I 181 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:45.679 understood that I needed to teach nurses how to go into business because business would 182 00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.879 give them the financial resources that they need, and they already had the knowledge. 183 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.399 That's how I came up with just coaches and consultants, because I don't 184 00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.080 teach you how to go into a home health business. I don't teach you 185 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:03.039 how to hope in a home a medspot. I'm very niche coaches and consultants 186 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.840 nurses, that's it. So you teach nurses just to pair it back to 187 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:13.320 so there's clarification. You teach nurses how to be coaches and consultants, right. 188 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.279 And one of the ways that you were able to get them to see 189 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:22.639 that picture was having real conversations about the thing that people feel embarrassed about or 190 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.200 shamed about, or confused about. Or you know that's a true conversation about 191 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.519 money. Well, it was messaging too, right, because my messaging was 192 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:37.720 all over the place initially, like people were like, build your email lists, 193 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:43.679 and I was like, well, how do you do that? Giving 194 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:46.879 stuff away? I was like giving necklaces away. People didn't want to go 195 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:52.600 into business because they wanted a necklace, right, They wanted to go into 196 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:56.480 business because they wanted to want into business. So I needed to change my 197 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.559 messaging. But I didn't know how to change my messaging. And so once 198 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:03.960 I under stood my messaging, and once I understood exactly what I was doing, 199 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.840 I said, oh, it's all now, okay, okay, So 200 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.000 it took you you know, how long did it take from that time that 201 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:22.000 that coe message like that, that that clarification that you got that ooh with 202 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:26.120 the think going to work from that to when you opened your doors and you 203 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:31.000 were like, okay, what was your time frame? It's about a couple 204 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.000 of years. Yeah, yeah, right right, I mean I think that's 205 00:14:33.919 --> 00:14:37.320 that's important for people to know, right, it's for and really a couple 206 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.519 of years to learn everything you need to do to go and click and conference 207 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.039 and what have you. So let's talk about let's talk about some of the 208 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.639 good stuff. Let's talk about some of the fun stuff. The fun stuff 209 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.919 that everyone thing's going to come in two weeks. The So what's happening for 210 00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:54.679 nurses now, Like what's some of the things that are going on for nurses 211 00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:58.320 now? Like what you know? How is this making a making a difference 212 00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:03.120 in the world. So I just give you an example of one of them. 213 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:09.200 Yeah, yeah, So I have one client that she she started with 214 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:13.159 me. She had no business acumen, she was tried. She's a travel 215 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.080 nurse, she absolutely hated. She was a renal nurse. Okay, So 216 00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.320 renal nurses a kind of niche and that like us in the emergency department, 217 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.879 Like we were not trying to deal with your port. Okay, you're renal 218 00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:31.639 port number one, and we're not trying to deliver your child. Okay, 219 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.720 that's just it. We're jack of all trades, basta of not them too, 220 00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:41.559 Okay, So renal. So she's a renal nurse. And so she 221 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:46.080 had been a manager of a don of a director of nursing of a dialysis 222 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.600 agency. So within six weeks of her signing up for my course, she 223 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:54.279 had a six figure contract. Seven months out to the end. She had 224 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:58.159 a contract with Lauria's and now she has lawyers up and down the East Coast 225 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.960 where she all she does is their renal cases. And then she also has 226 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.840 a physician practice that she has a six figure contract with them to teach their 227 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:14.919 patients because what I teach my clients is that you cannot you can't go for 228 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:18.039 the patients, but you have to do the patients prior to them getting sick 229 00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:22.279 because you have competing dollars whenever you have them as they get six so you 230 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:27.440 have to create a space where you can have a sustainable business, but then 231 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:32.279 they can get service well, right, So it's a dual thing, but 232 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.240 you have to just understand how to bridge that paradigm. So she's multiple six 233 00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:40.639 figure business. She's been in business for since that time and has just done 234 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.840 an amazing job. She's been able to be there for her child because the 235 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:51.080 mortality rate for actually's African American for mortality rate for African American females when they 236 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:56.240 birth children in the US, it's high, okay, And so she was 237 00:16:56.360 --> 00:17:00.960 able to be there for her child who had complications when she had her child, 238 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:07.480 and people to be the for a single time because she owned her own 239 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.400 business, she owned her own times. So it has just been amazing. 240 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:15.920 Yeah. Absolutely, it's it's refreshing. It's refreshing. And I know that's 241 00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:19.279 not a very empowering word, but it is refreshing. I think when you 242 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:23.319 wake up and you're like, oh right it, you know, the lift 243 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.440 of burden is off. And having someone I mean, I'm a big advocate 244 00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.720 of coaches. Absolutely, people ask me, I'll tell them I am one. 245 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:36.039 I advocate for them. I'd go, right, go don't. I 246 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.200 mean, it took you two years that da da da. Someone could go 247 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.799 to you and you can shorten that window, right, just like you went 248 00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:44.440 and got experts on how to build an email list, and we've all experted 249 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:49.079 our ways to be experts, right, Okay, So but it takes it 250 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:53.519 is nice to ease that burden. Like I think, just listening to your 251 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:57.319 story alone, you know, you've got people in the health and wellness industry, 252 00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:00.640 and I know a lot about the health industry that are under a lot 253 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:07.359 of duress, right, got a lot of servant leaders that are needing servant 254 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.720 leading, you know what I mean. It's been tough. So tell us 255 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:11.559 a little bit about it. I know we're coming up to time, but 256 00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:15.079 I want to I want to tell us a little bit about what happens at 257 00:18:15.079 --> 00:18:18.200 your conference, because look at if you're out there and you were in the 258 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.079 sector, right, if you're in the health and onness sector, if you're 259 00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.000 in the nursing sector, it is nice. I mean, the one thing 260 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.920 I love about conferences is being with your people, right, being with your 261 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:30.880 people, it is really inspiring and motivating. Honestly, it's almost like they 262 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.640 say, being in a sound bath. Right, It's like your people talking 263 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.000 your language, talking your vibrations. So tell us a little bit about your 264 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.480 conference, because you guys are doing this every year, and then tell us 265 00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.400 tell us a little bit more about really how people can get in touch with 266 00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.000 you. And if there's anything that you want to say today that we haven't 267 00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:55.359 covered, please feel free. So a conference is great. First of all, 268 00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:59.480 I've always wanted to have a space because I've been to many nursing conferences 269 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:04.880 and want to, for lack of better words, stab yourself because they're so 270 00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:11.079 boring. Okay, And so what we are very intentional about is creating the 271 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.559 experience for you, an experience that is like no other, that's number one. 272 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:22.519 Number two, you get a lot of a lot of golden nuggets when 273 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:27.480 you come to our conference. But and you also get the opportunity to network 274 00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.319 with other nurse entrepreneurs because nurse entrepreneurship is not something that you know, it's 275 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.279 just been around for years and years and years and years. It's just something 276 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.920 that's fairly new. And the reality is that you want to be able to 277 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:44.200 because I'm a firm believer that you're the sum total of the five people's gym 278 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:45.960 or un quote. You know, you're the sum total of the five people 279 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.279 that you hang out with the most. And if you're the smartest person in 280 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.079 the room, you're in the wrong rum. So I am a firm believer 281 00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:53.759 that you have to hang out with people who are smarter than you are. 282 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:56.720 And one of the things that I wanted to highlight, and I'm glad that 283 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.240 you asked me that is because I wanted to highlight that, you know, 284 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.240 people a lot of times, what they do is they get to the end 285 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:07.680 of their lives and I see this. You know, a lot they get 286 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.640 to the end of their lives and they have this regret, right, and 287 00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:14.400 they have this regret over you know what they could have done. And what 288 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:18.200 I tell people is that you know, fear is a fallacy, right, 289 00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.000 It is so a fallacy. It is not something that is even real, 290 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.759 right, And so fear is just a stepping stone to your success or failure 291 00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.240 is the stepping stone to your success. But people are so scared that they're 292 00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:36.079 gonna fail that they don't even move one step. And you know, I 293 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:41.119 had this lady that came to me and I had a misspelled word on my 294 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:45.359 on one of my posts. Now I don't post most of the time for 295 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.880 myself. I have a team that does that. And I had a misspelled 296 00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.920 word. And she is freaking out, like she was like, you get 297 00:20:52.920 --> 00:21:00.960 that word spell? Right? Are we are? Sis? You got told 298 00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:03.400 you? I've said to people, do you know I've changed in the world. 299 00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.359 I have time for grammar. But anyway, go ahead tell me the 300 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:15.759 story. I'm laughing. I'm sorry. It happened to me yesterday. Bohead, 301 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:18.079 go ahead tell your sorry. I don't want to take your stage, 302 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:23.079 so she said, she said to me, she said, I she said, 303 00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:26.279 did you change that that that word? And I was like, well, 304 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.279 I mean it's on a Campa post, so literally, and and it's 305 00:21:30.319 --> 00:21:33.920 all over the place, like we had most everywhere, right, And I 306 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.039 was like, so I didn't, And she was like, well, that 307 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:44.160 decreases your credibility. I was like, I am doctor Viola Pitch. I 308 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:45.880 teach her how to work in the computers anywhere around the world, making money 309 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.279 and only their own time. It does not decrease my my credibility at all. 310 00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.240 I'm good, I promise you. So we're just everyone who's listening right 311 00:21:56.279 --> 00:22:00.240 now, that's one of those people. They just stopped following me because I 312 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:06.680 love me, because I appreciate you out there. What a gift. I'm 313 00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:12.160 so glad you have it. I don't. I don't And there's things that 314 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:21.519 slip through, right, So so love us in our imperfections. But our 315 00:22:21.680 --> 00:22:26.440 mission and our mission and our vision is just a little bigger. So don't 316 00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.640 be upset with us, and don't stop following us, because we're here to 317 00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:33.039 help. Oh my gosh, I don't know why I was like loving, 318 00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:37.279 but it's so cool. Yes, okay, good stuff, get it together, 319 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.480 dub. This is why we don't edit. This is seriously why we 320 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:45.559 don't edit. But no, honestly, I think because you have a vision 321 00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:48.000 and a mission as big as yours and as big as me. We know 322 00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.319 it's kind of it's it's cute, it's funny, and we appreciate it. 323 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.119 I actually will screenshot it and if my team could fix it, that's awesome. 324 00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:59.799 I actually last night because it was a friend of mine that I knew 325 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.559 would like keep texting me. So I went in I think at midnight with 326 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.839 my exhaustion and changed the word on a personal post. It wasn't even business. 327 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.640 It wasn't even business. So yeah, bless you, and don't stop 328 00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:21.680 following us. Now come to our classes. Okay. Look, look, 329 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:26.599 perfection is an illusion, right, It's an yeah, and you're you're never 330 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.079 gonna get it perfect. And you know, and the reality is that you 331 00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:33.960 know, I'm Christian, and so you know I you know, I'm Southern 332 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.880 Christian at that. Okay, you bless you, bless them. Yeah, 333 00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:44.000 so we we literally live in the Bible belt, okay. And so the 334 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:47.720 people are judgmental, right, and so you know, there's just this is 335 00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:51.240 the way I look at TJ's made this reference one time. He said that 336 00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:56.880 there's a short preference sure of perfection. Okay, and there's people that are 337 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.400 fifty meet us from the shore that are judge people that are one hundred meters 338 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.720 from the shore right. And the reality is that if you're judging me, 339 00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:07.079 and you're probably right beside me, you're probably one hundred meters as well, 340 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.559 because judgment is just don't judge me, you know. The reality is that 341 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.640 if we're really good friends and you you know, that's the reason why you 342 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.160 change that post, I want really good friends with thish light, and so 343 00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.160 I didn't change the posts. And I just you know, I was okay 344 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.759 with the imperfection because, like you said, the mission is so much much 345 00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:30.039 bigger than that, and so and I can tell you what to follow me 346 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.480 if you whenever you get there. Yeah, we're gonna have an off camera 347 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.960 conversation. Okay, So here it is. Here it is. I have 348 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.279 a question for you that is completely off off off that. But look, 349 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:47.680 you coach you conference and you cheer on That's what I hear. You coach 350 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:53.519 you conference and you cheer on women that deserve and want to have more availability 351 00:24:55.079 --> 00:25:00.279 and more accessibility in their lives in the nursing profession. So I'm ask you 352 00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:04.480 a completely different question. You're on your way to you you're going to a 353 00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:08.079 desert. Oh, go ahead. I'm a little scared, but go ahead. 354 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:10.880 No, no, no, no, this is a good question. 355 00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:12.839 It's just it's a tough topic. Right, It's like who you know, 356 00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.079 So I don't know if you know what. I come from the music world, 357 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.000 and I love music, like I am all in for music. So 358 00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:25.079 people are like, oh yeah, watch, oh, no kidding. She 359 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:27.799 you were on your way to a desert island and it's you and you, 360 00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:33.119 and you have one suitcase and you only have a room and that one suitcase 361 00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:42.279 for one album? Which one you've taken with you? Oh? That is 362 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.400 tough, I know, right, tough. It's a nice question, but 363 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:52.160 a tough question. It's a tough question. So I want to take a 364 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:57.519 a gospel song with me or a gospel album with me. But I think 365 00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:02.119 that the album that I would take, And the reason why is because what 366 00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:06.599 I found out. It just went on a cruise and I just found out 367 00:26:06.680 --> 00:26:15.079 that the that Michael Jackson is probably one of the most amazing artists of our 368 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.599 all times. Right, And they at the end saying The Man in the 369 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:25.519 Mirror would have to be whatever album. That's whatever album, Michael Jackson's the 370 00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.200 Man in the Mirror. It's a great song. I've listened to it many, 371 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.240 many, many times. It's very inspiring and motivating and has its own 372 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.480 uplift. Right, So that's a great one. That's a great one. 373 00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:38.720 So look, please tell our audience that are listening and watching where to reach 374 00:26:38.759 --> 00:26:42.519 you.
