Hi. I don't normally post any comments. However, I have been reading your blogs, books, and zines. I wish I had seen your work about 7 years ago. Even two years ago. You are doing your students a big favor by telling them about small business. Anything, that I read makes it sound so easy. I agree with you that it is not.
I am a nurse practitioner. I work in mental health. I do Telehealth. I work with folks who are on Medicaid. I have generally worked in Community Mental Health Centers. In other words, I work with the folks other people don't want to. I spend time with them. I get to know them. They are my people. I have had my own practice for two years. I was lucky, a lot of folks trusted me and came along. I guess I would be that nucleus that you right about. It is not easy to just keep showing up.
A lot of what you write about rings true to me. I am wondering about how it would work in a rural setting. I am thinking of a clinic for addictions. I am thinking of learning and using the 5 NP strategy. I am frightened of the uncertainty.
Thank you for your comment and for subscribing! I think there's tons of potential to use 5NP in settings like yours. It sounds to me like you're doing a type of social entrepreneurship -- small business that serves marginalized and/or underserved people and I agree, there's so much challenge and uncertainty. On the other hand, it's creative and brave and never boring :) Good luck to you!
