81: Building a Business as a New Nurse Coach- Whitney Distefano BSN, RN, NC-BC 

“As a new business owner in the community, it's just been one learning opportunity after another, and truly just like a practice of vulnerability, of showing up and putting yourself out there and really doing the best I can to be detached from the outcome, which is what they teach us as Nurse Coaches as well. 

 Showing up day in and day out, and knowing that, you're gonna find things that you don't know how to do, you're going to find that there are questions you didn't even know were questions. And just having to come back to the attitude that, everything is figure out-able.” ~Whitney Distefano BSN, RN, NC-BC

Ah Ha Moments

• It’s absolutely vulnerable to be a new business owner, especially because Nurses are never taught how to be entrepreneurs. And yet, we can still show up and be open to the possibilities!
• Everything is ‘figure-out-able’.  And we can ask for help, and be detached from the outcomes, as best we can
• Be clear on your personal vision and values, as those will be instrumental in you showing up for the world in your true, authentic way, and your ability to align with how you are being of service
• Begin with one step at a time.  You don’t have to do it all right away.  Find the things you think will have the most impact and begin there. Do a little bit each day for your business and for yourself
