The Law of Attraction....or persistence at work!

 

I have been attracting some amazing opportunities in the last 2 weeks.

I returned from the Billionaire Boot-camp full of information and ideas to help me build my business and my wealth, but it initially felt like there was so much to think about I didn't know where to start.

It took 2 weeks to all settle and then - ping! - I had a breakthrough! The people who did better in the games were those who went for the bigger deals, and negotiated some huge contracts instead of plying small with 90% of us.....ooohh!!

So, my intention was then to look for ways and take action that would get me involved in bigger projects than getting one nurse at a time to the website. This working well with new nurses signing up each week, and I have over 100 signed up now, but the off-line part is raring to go now.

I have had discussions with 2 Trusts re coaching, and am working through Bernadette Doyle's 'How To Attract Corporate Clients' which has given me some amazing tools to use to get happynurses and me established in my niche, with a great illustration of my expertise.

More details later.......!

I have been interviewed for the NMC magazine, and am writing some stuff for the Reader's Digest regarding health and caring for people at home, using my nursing expertise.

What would you like to attract into your life, happynurses?

Happy NHS

How can the NHS be a happier place to work in?

I have been reading and reviewing a lot of articles and surveys recently and it seems that there are many factors that affect how happy people feel at work.

The worst aspects of working for the NHS are: paperwork, bureaucracy, slow pace of change, feeling insignificant and not being supported by managers.

The best things are: doing something important, feeling part of a team, good pension, ability to learn and develop.

If you are a manager in the NHS then spend some time thinking how you can make your staff feel more included.

Ask them what they want!

There can be the feeling that this will 'open a can of worms' or start them complaining. Believe me, they are complaining now, but not to anyone who can do anything about it. If you know how they feel and where you stand, then you can start to change things.

Ignorance is the worst thing because then you can only make assumptions from your own viewpoint.

Find out what your team wants, happynurses!

Change

How does change affect you or make you feel?

In my last seminar we played a game which involved the use of the word 'change' and encouraged us to think of change as something 'fun'!

Are you thinking 'How can change be FUN? I hate change!!'......?

Change happens (you will have realised this, as you are not a baby anymore, you are trained in something you didn't know when you were a newborn, and probably have met some lovely people who have enhanced your life).

All things change, and to try and resist this can keep us stressed as life is in comstant flux, so you would bet better to 'go with the flow' and enjoy some change. Enforced change can be tough, especially if you don't 'want' whatever the change is, but you can also choose to change and love it!

Start small and simple - take a different route to work, read a different paper or magazine, use a new toothpaste, eat something new.

Do one thing differently each day and look at how you feel. It can be a really refreshing way to live!

Be changed happynurses!
