Kate L Erickson is the Content Creator and Community Leader for Entrepreneur on Fire (EOFire) with John Lee Dumas. She author’s the EOFire blog and runs her own Podcast Kate’s Take: The EOFire Audio Blog, where she shares advice with entrepreneurs who are just starting.The goal of our Podcast is to ask difficult questions, tackle challenging issues and share valuable information that encompasses the professional and personal lives of Nurses.We feel our listeners (Nurses) can learn from Kate's life’s lessons and her success. It’s no secret, we have colleagues who are stuck in a rut in our profession. We believe getting an outsider’s view (not a Nurse) on how to avoid this rut as well as tips on what to do when we are slipping would be invaluable.Here are some of the highlights from her interview:    -Have to do the upfront work to succeed.    -Nursing is Entrepreneurial!    -Get out of your comfort zone. Take risks. Face your fears.    -Yes it’s tough – it’s tough for a reason.    -Are you fulfilled in your job? Do you have passion?    -There is a difference between a tough day and having an underlying desire to do more.    -Why are you waiting for someone else to recognize you or your efforts?    -Surround yourself with the right people (who will support you)    -Essentialism: when you say yes to one thing, you are saying no to another thing.#thechangeofshift #CoS #nurselife #nurse #nurses #podcast #nursepractitioner----------After caring for thousands of patients over the last 20 years, Acute Care Nurse Practitioners & Bloggers Sean P.
