Please join me as I interview with Yolanda McIntosh, host of Mo2vational Moments on WomensRadio.com. Yolanda's program is designed to encourage, empower and inspire, and she accomplishes this goal by inviting authors to encourage the lives of her listeners.
My interview with Yolanda was based on my Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Inside Every Woman – Using the 10 Strengths You Didn't Know You Had to Get the Career and Life You Want Now. A few of the highlights from the interview are provided below, and you can also listen to the complete interview.
Harness 10 Strengths to Achieve Your Dreams. Yolanda was very curious about whether the 10 Strengths I write about in my book are really as powerful as I say they are. Absolutely yes – we all have these forces within us, but most of us see ourselves as only having one or two strengths or we're so overwhelmed by life that we just use one or two. If you can harness all 10 strengths, you can then accomplish your dreams, not just everybody else's. The 10 strengths I harness every day got me from being an RN earning $28,000 a year to the owner of an Inc. Top 5000 Private Company. I believe they can be that powerful for you too. Hear more about the 10 strengths.
Make 5 Promises to Guarantee Your Success
I will live and work a passionate life is my number one promise. One of the reasons why I was motivated to start my own business was because I saw a lot of nurses who were no longer passionate about what they were doing and I realized that I needed to do something for my nursing future before I became disgruntled and unhappy. That's why I decided to start my legal nurse consulting business – to do something that I would love and be passionate about every day of every week. Hear more about these 5 Promises.
What's the secret to success? Many people think success is all about IQ, experience and luck, and that's definitely not true. The people who succeed are the people who have the intention to succeed. They back that intention up by going for it and taking action every day. They don't wait for conditions to be perfect and they're not waiting for the guarantee of success. They go for it no matter what. That's what it's really about – you have to put the action behind the dream.
Listen to my interview as we discuss more of my secrets to success: how to say no and feel okay about it; why we put off our goals; why we need to make ourselves a priority; how to make the most of every moment; why it's important to be your own number one fan and how to increase your endurance.

Add Your Best Attorney-Client Letter of Recommendation to the
NACLNC® Directory
Successful CLNC® consultants know that a good letter of recommendation is one of their most effective marketing tools. Attorneys want to know what their colleagues have to say about your work product and often hire Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantsCM solely on the merit of their letters of recommendation.
"I asked my new client if he wanted to know how much I charged," said Carol Riley, RN, MHA, CNAA, HFA, CLNC. "He said 'Sure, but it doesn't matter. That letter of recommendation convinced me you have exactly the skills I need.'"
We are collecting the best letters of recommendation from attorneys to add to the NACLNC® Online Directory. Having a letter of recommendation included gives you national exposure to approximately 6,000 other CLNC® consultants looking for subcontractors. You'll also gain instant credibility with attorneys nationwide. Letters selected will receive prime placement in the NACLNC® Directory.
To submit a letter of recommendation, you must be a current CLNC® consultant, and both you and your attorney-client must complete and sign this release form. You may submit as many letters of recommendation as you like. Please complete and enclose a separate release form for each submission.
Mail your letter and release forms to:
Vickie Milazzo Institute Attorney-Client Letter
5615 Kirby Drive, Suite 425
Houston, Texas 77005-2448
TIP: If you don't have existing letters of recommendation, simply write one and offer it as a first draft to your attorney-client. Your client may be too busy to write one but willing to sign the one you write.
Seeking Newsworthy CLNC® Consultants
WANTED: Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantsCM working on newsworthy cases. Please contact the Institute if you're working on a high-profile case involving a healthcare issue, attorney or defendant in the news.

These writers are often in a hurry to meet deadlines, and we want to provide them with the most successful consultants in the U.S. and Canada.

Brand Your CLNC® Practice with the NACLNC® Member Seal
"A brand you know and trust..." How often have you heard that expression? Whether it's dishwasher detergent or a new car, we all prefer to buy a brand we know and trust. In fact, studies have shown that 76% of consumers would be more likely to contact a business backed by a known brand name than they would to deal with a "no-name" company.
Now you can give your Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantCM practice the status, prestige and super-power marketing appeal of the NACLNC® "brand." Your CLNC® Certification entitles you to display the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Member Seal on your website. It's also a great idea to make the seal a part of your email signature.
The NACLNC® Member Seal is an attractive graphic that instantly lets visitors to your website know you're a member of the leading professional organization in legal nurse consulting. Attorneys know and trust the CLNC® Certification, and your membership in the NACLNC® tells them you've achieved the certification and are a member in good standing of the largest association of legal nurse consultants in the nation.
Visitors to your website can click the NACLNC® Member Seal and be linked to a dedicated web page describing the rigorous training and comprehensive resources CLNC® consultants receive through the Institute and the NACLNC®. This page will support your marketing message about the value of your CLNC® training and expertise.
Displaying the NACLNC® Member Seal is quick and easy – and it's FREE to all members of the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants.
