Breaking Free From The Employee Mindset

Breaking Free From The Employee Mindset

Breaking Free From The Employee Mindset 


For most of us, our jobs are our sense of security - even when we know they’re not the right fit for us. There is nothing wrong with being an employee but don’t allow the employee mindset to hold you back from starting your own business. Being a nurse entrepreneur is not pulling away from helping patients; it’s designing your life the way you want it to be.

The feeling like you don’t fit is a wake-up call that you are meant to be doing something bigger than fitting a square peg in a round hole. Stop trying to fit in the employee box. Stop trying to conform to the idea of what they want you to be. It’s time to start doing something different and open your arms to other options in life.

Join the conversation with your host, Nena Hart, as she shares how you can get out of an employee mindset and align with who you are meant to be. Nena also shares how she got into her dream job only to be fired in five weeks and how the experiences transformed her career life forever.
