Nurses As Entrepreneurs

by Traci Johnson

You cannot be successful and delusional at the same time. That is the foundation of everything we do at Nurses as Entrepreneurs — the no-fluff, no-hype business education platform built specifically for nurses who are ready to move beyond the idea and planning phase to actual business start-up. I am Traci Johnson — registered nurse and founder of Nurses as Entrepreneurs. I created NAE because too many nurses hold on to their clinical careers because they don't believe they have what it takes to build a successful business. Many have business ideas with real potential but are paralyzed by the noise, the comparison, and the influencer culture that makes entrepreneurship look easy and effortless when it is neither. This podcast is not that. Here, we talk about what business readiness actually looks like — not just emotionally, but financially, practically, and strategically. We talk about why knowing your real reason for building a business matters more than any busin
