Welcome back to the Transformation Nurse Academy Podcast!    Today we’re getting into some real talk that every nurse needs to hear- decide what you want!   As nurses, we’re so used to putting everyone else first, whether it's patients, coworkers, or our families. But today, it's all about YOU. If you don’t know what you want out of your career, your life, or your business, how are you gonna go after it? You need clarity, focus, and a plan to make things happen, and that’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this episode.   I’m gonna share how I set goals for myself, not just in my nursing career, but in life. We’ll talk about what it takes to get clear on your goals—whether you’re trying to move up in your nursing role, become a CRNA, or even start your own business. Wherever you're at, it’s time to figure out what’s next for you and how you can make it happen.   Key Topics We Hit On: Decide What You Want: It’s time to stop floating and start being intentional about what you want from your nursing career and life. Set Clear Goals: I’ve got a Goal Journal for you to help you get specific. Write down your short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals—no vague stuff. Taking 100% Responsibility: No one else can make your goals happen but you. Own your choices, own your journey, and stop waiting for permission. Visualization: Visualizing your success isn’t just some woo-woo stuff. It’s about seeing where you want to be, feeling it, and letting that drive you every day. Commit and Execute: Once you know what you want, you have to go all-in. No half-assing it. Commit to your path, and make it happen.   Action Steps for Nurses: Reflect on Your Nursing Career: Take some time to really think about what you want from your career. Is it a leadership role? A new certification? Or maybe a better work-life balance? Whatever it is, get clear and write it down. Use the Goal Journal: I created a Goal Journal for you. It’s got everything you need to map out your goals in your career and personal life. Download it, fill it out, and start making moves. Visualize Success in Nursing: Close your eyes, put yourself in that future role you’re aiming for. Imagine yourself succeeding—whether that’s working fewer hours, getting that promotion, or running your own clinic. Commit and Take Ownership: You’re the one in charge of your career. No one’s gonna do this for you. Own your path, make the necessary changes, and commit to seeing it through. Download Your Free Goal Journal!
