The Price of Admission to Success as a NursePreneur

What if the price of admission to the success and dreams you desire, is befriending the very emotions, thoughts and fears that are keeping you stuck? This is an excerpt from a download I received, and shared with our NPA nurses inside the NPA this week. I thought it would benefit you too. Host Liam Caswell shares reflections on why becoming the best in a niche can be simple without going viral or being famous: most people won’t do the work success requires. He explains how self-doubt and discomfort are normal physiological responses when building something new, and that waiting to feel comfortable will delay results. Liam emphasises that growth, income, freedom, and impact come from showing up, doing reps, failing, learning, and collecting evidence to challenge disbelief, because transformation requires leaving comfort zones. He encourages nurses to follow their inner nudge, reject conformity, and reframe hard times as necessary lessons, ending with the belief that “when you do hard things, life gets easy,”. 00:00 Welcome to Nursepreneur 00:56 Why Success Is Simple 01:55 Your Brain and Discomfort 03:08 Do the Work Anyway 04:55 Called to Break the Mould 05:55 Do Hard Things 07:23 Final Thoughts and Next Steps 07:45 Bedside Escape Plan Join the NPA 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already got?

How Deanne Geddes Went from technophobe to building an online nurse coaching business and generating her first $6K

Deanne shares how, while completing her master’s and working as a student facilitator she loved, a difficult workplace and nervous system collapse forced her to step back, prompting her to start sharing support online and eventually create “Grad Nurse Coach.” After moving back to Brisbane and recovering her health, she joined MPA to turn her idea into a real business despite being a “tech phobe,” building functional Facebook and Instagram pages, joining student/new grad groups, setting up email funnels and a Stan Store, and improving copywriting. She discusses viral posts reaching 70,000+ views, emphasising impact over vanity metrics, and outlines her six-month “Thrive” program to build new grads’ capacity to navigate culture, shift work, and burnout prevention, growing from $0 calls to a $2,700 program while prioritising self-care and flexibility. 00:00 Meet Deanne 01:09 Burnout Sparks Idea 03:01 Joining NPA 03:25 Tech Setup Wins 05:30 Viral Posts Lessons 08:27 Consistency Repurposing 09:32 Thrive Program Built 11:33 Getting Clients Pricing 13:35 Proud Self Care 18:10 Advice Dream Bigger 19:17 Wrap Up Next Steps FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have?

How Jodie Eade went from Nurse to Million Dollar Coach generating >$75K inside NPA

Jodie shares her path from returning to nursing later in life and struggling through a difficult graduate year to building her third business as a systems-focused business coach. After realising casual nursing required years of full-time work and feeling trapped, she explored other options, then—encouraged by her partner—chose to build a coaching business instead of working for others. Jodie explains how she helps service-based businesses improve the end-to-end client experience through operations, standard operating procedures, delegation, automation, and systems that can later integrate with AI, plus planning social content and strengthening customer service follow-up. She describes rapidly raising prices from low-cost sessions to audits starting at $2,000 and six-month coaching packages up to $20,000, alongside results like doubling a client’s turnover in three months and reaching a planned $1M milestone early. Jodie now works casual nursing and emphasises rest, life design, networking, and getting a coach. 00:00 Meet Jodie 00:14 Nursing to Grad Year 01:42 Breaking Point Pivot 02:53 First Million Dollar Win 03:19 Networking Over Socials 05:27 What a Systems Coach Does 06:08 Client Experience Systems 08:25 Nursing Skills in Business 09:59 Pricing Journey to 20K 15:15 Going Casual Nursing 16:33 Rest and Life Design 18:51 Advice for Nurses 19:41 Wrap Up Celebration FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have?

How Michelle Deroubaix went from 46 Years of Nursing to Making $5K in a Week In her Online Business

Michelle, a nurse with 46+ years’ experience, shares why she joined the Nurse Entrepreneur Academy after running retreats and getting early clients but lacking a social media following. She discusses building confidence, leveraging existing assets like a 600+ email list, a website ranking on Google, and word-of-mouth, and learning scalable systems such as freebies and email marketing to work toward replacing her nursing salary. Michelle describes raising her prices to $3,000, recognizing the value of her expertise for new graduate nurses, and generating about $15,000 since joining, including a $5,000 week. She highlights new opportunities like speaking to 100 people at the National Eating Disorder Collaborative and facilitating workshops, plus personal breakthroughs in prioritising health, fitness, and self-care, and encourages nurses to start side hustles for variety and fulfillment. 00:00 Michelle’s Journey Begins 00:47 Why She Needed Support 01:14 Visibility Leads to Speaking 01:54 Charging What You’re Worth 03:14 Mindset Behind Pricing 06:01 Leveraging Hidden Assets 07:17 Revenue and Leaving Nursing 08:18 Freedom and Flexibility 10:54 The $5K Week Breakthrough 12:30 Health and Fitness Upgrade 14:18 Advice for Nurse Side Hustles 14:51 Closing Thanks and Next Steps FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have?

How Trina Pitts built a scalable online business whilst juggling life as a busy mum/wife!

Trina Pits shares how workplace bullying and long-term burnout in nursing led her to step away, set boundaries, and reflect on what lit her up, ultimately inspiring her to build a coaching business supporting nurse wellbeing and growth. She describes feeling angry at a system that wasn’t changing, navigating an identity crisis about leaving nursing, and discovering coaching as a path after following Liam’s pivot to business coaching for nurses. Trina outlines early business milestones—building from zero with a quiz, email list, tech stack, and sales pages—plus growing Instagram to over 4,000 followers with a post reaching 500,000 views, improved content planning efficiency, and global nurse DMs. She discusses reframing selling as service, reducing nursing hours before earning income to create space, and her biggest personal shift: trusting and backing herself, while urging others to start and seek support to avoid burnout. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:19 Trina’s Catalyst Story 02:42 Burnout and Healing 05:00 Anger at the System 07:00 Finding a New Path 09:19 Instagram Confidence Wins 14:44 Building the Business Engine 15:11 Selling Without the Ick 18:33 Reducing Nursing Hours 20:17 Personal Growth and Trust 22:10 Advice and Wrap Up FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have?

The Episode I Almost Didn't Share

I almost didn't share this one. I've been sitting on this episode for a while now, telling myself it wasn't the right time. Trigger: I talk about ADHD, Complex PTSD and Trauma. That it was too raw. That we were heading into launch season and this wasn't the kind of content you share when you're trying to grow a business. And then I realised that thinking was exactly the problem I talk about in this episode. So here it is. Over the last six to eight months I have been through the most confronting, transformative, and ultimately liberating period of my life. And what I found underneath all of it changed everything. In this episode I'm talking about: What it felt like the first day I took Vyvanse and experienced silence in my mind for the first time at 33 years old — and why I cried Why I almost left my relationship of 12 years — and what I found when I stayed What EMDR therapy actually is, how it works, and why I think every nurse who has worked in the healthcare system needs to understand it The connection between adverse childhood experiences, nursing culture, nervous system dysregulation, and why your business hasn't grown the way you wanted it to Why I believe no one can build a sustainable, profitable business from a nervous system that has never been taught it's safe to stop What has genuinely shifted for me — in my body, my relationships, my capacity, and how I move through the world — and what it means for how I now show up inside NPA The thing I kept coming back to throughout this entire process is that so many of us nurses came to healthcare because we were already carrying something. And the system didn't heal that. It layered on top of it. And then we try to build businesses — to create freedom and income and impact — while all of that is still running silently in the background, shaping every decision, every price we set, every time we stop ourselves at the edge of the thing we most want. You cannot strategy your way out of a nervous system problem. This is the most honest episode I've ever recorded. I hope it lands for whoever needs it. Resources mentioned: Mel Robbins Podcast — ADHD and Trauma episode EMDR Therapy — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Yoga Nidra — body-based nervous system regulation practice Vyvanse — neurostimulant medication for ADHD If this episode brought something up for you and you're not okay, please reach out to a mental health professional or contact Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
