As entrepreneurs, we need tools to assist us with a variety of functions and operations. Enjoy our first article of interest, the 41 Business, Marketing and Web Tools We Can’t Live Without. I use several of the tools mentioned, and others that were not mentioned. For example, we use Get Response for our newsletter, and we use QuickBooks for invoicing and accounting. Building a Career Path to Prevent Nurse Burnout is a valuable post with resources from NNBA’s featured expert, Anne Lewellyn. Make sure to click on the link at the bottom of her post to see Anne’s book Nurses: Moving Beyond the Bedside, There are No Limits. This provides nurses with over 30 career options to consider as they move forward in their lives. Are you a rock star in what you are currently doing and afraid of not being able to repeat your success? Then this last article of interest is for you. Stop Sacrificing Your Future by Clinging to Your Past is primarily an article about our work, its principles apply to our personal lives as well.
