How healthcare moms achieve financial freedom with digital product side hustles
Healthcare moms are a unique breed. We tend to keep going no matter how tough the situation may be.
We are the ultimate survivors.
But, what if we could create passive income with digital side hustles that helped us gain financial freedom and flexibility of time? These two things can become a reality.
I am going to share with you how my Digital Biz Builder membership can take you from survival mode to the foundation of a digital product business, so you can operate a side hustle or go all in and replace your income.
The choice is yours but I am here to teach you the ropes.
Let’s dive into some barriers that might be coming up for you in this week’s episode.
Hello again, My name is Kate Avery and if you’re new here, just a little background info for you, I have been a Nurse since 2015, I’m a mother of 3, I’m an entrepreneur coach, and so much more.
Over the last few years, I started to notice how nursing was not fitting the needs of my growing family.
So I decided enough was enough and I embarked on this journey to find a better way. This has included countless self-help books, multiple courses, and a deep dive into figuring out what the heck I wanted.
Now, I started this podcast to inspire and motivate you. If you also feel burnt out from nursing while supporting a growing family, Then you’re in the right place.
Let’s build our dream life together.
Every week I share my adventures and the hard lessons I have learned along the way. Make sure you follow the podcast and download the episodes every Friday. You can follow me on Instagram at Inspirern. Follow and Subscribe to my YouTube Channel as well.
Everything Starts With Thinking Differently
“Believe you can, and you’re halfway there”
-Theodore Roosevelt
Your mindset will make or break your success in building a digital product business. Whether you’re listening today because you are looking for a side hustle or because you want to replace your income entirely, having the mindset and belief that you can do this is half the battle.
From my experience, the healthcare field is very closed-minded. I believe that this is a cultural norm really to make us stay put. Healthcare is hard and the more you feel the limiting beliefs the more staff will stay. Misery loves company.
So having a positive outlook is everything.
I’ll give you a little growth mindset 101 lesson. Simply said, acknowledge the truth that everything can be learned and although it may take some time, you are capable of achieving whatever it may be that you set your eyes on.
I want to take this time to address some of the most common limited beliefs I hear from clients.
Limiting belief 1: I don’t have the time
I am a busy mom too, when I first started this business, I was working 4 days a week in IR which is a 7:30-4 pm shift. I dropped off my kids in the morning and picked everyone up after work. I would get home at 5:30 make dinner and pack lunches. I would do a load of laundry or the dishes, just whatever it took to keep us afloat. I would typically work on this business from 7-9 depending on what I could get done, maybe I only worked 2-3 days or maybe even more. When I was not spending time with family or at work, I was working on this business. Oh, I was also in NP school, so I had that added pressure as well.
I could have totally said I don’t have time but what I learned from this experience was a time management method that worked for me. I used time blocks, I refocused often so that I wouldn’t be wasting my time. I used to Pomodoro method. Then I learned about targeted time which worked the best for me.
I put in the hours and I pivoted when things didn’t work well for me or my family. In my membership, I will teach you all the different methods I use to stay focused and move the needle. When you join the membership, I’ll send you a starter kit to help jump-start your progress, so you can stay focused right from the beginning.
This journey is all about your why and where you want to get to. It is important to have a clear why because yes, it is easy to say I don’t have time or I choose to spend time with my family right now. But most of us are doing this for our family. I schedule time when I am not working at all, but then there are nights that I need to focus and work on this business. I do this so that one day, my family will get the me they deserve. Right now, I have to focus on quality time over quantity of time.
Limited belief 2 “I have tried side hustles before (or so and so has tried a side hustle before) and I wasted my time, and money and stressed myself out all for nothing” I can’t make this work”
I hear this all the time from potential clients and let’s be honest this fear has passed through my head once or twice.
You gotta be able to trust and believe in yourself and your vision. Sometimes these visions take a while to come to life and it can be easy to write it off.
In my digital biz builder membership, I am going to teach you ways to gain some quick wins. Quick wins are a way for you to acknowledge that you are on the right path. I unfortunately learned this lesson later in my journey so I muscled on for a long time before I figured out all ya need is to accomplish a few goals along the way and the journeys will feel much easier. I will make sure you can hit those milestones quickly in your business through this membership.
The last limited belief I want to address is “Why would I risk my stable job to adventure into something that I don’t know will make me money at all?”
There is a reason why you are curious. There is a reason why you’re listening to this podcast.
Healthcare is great and yes it is stable. There is also a cap on how much you can make. It used to be that you could go back to school and make more money, but that is not the case anymore. For example, I make just as much as an NP working PRN as an IR Nurse. The promises that were made when we were younger are no longer true.
I got to a point in my life when I knew that nursing and even an NP degree would not give me the income that I dreamed of. Money gives you choices. I dream of flexibility. I dream of taking my kids on a Disney cruise. I dream of paying off all of my debt and not when I am 50 years old.
Nursing is not able to give me the life I deserve and I am the writer of my own story. In the membership, I will show you how to dream and make a plan for the future. This vision is your beckon for whatever you want out of life.
This membership teaches you to create digital products that you can sell. It gives you the tools and resources to continue to grow. You can focus on this being a side hustle, just making enough to pay off your student loans or you can create a business that replaces your income 10 fold. I said this last episode but really you can create whatever you dream to create with digital products. That is why I love this work.
Here Is The Proof
You may be saying, ya but show me people who are doing this….
I bet you have seen a few of these women on Instagram before but I am going to showcase 3 of them and I would love to have them on the show sometime in the future to really share their stories in depth.
The first is The remote Nurse: This nurse uses digital products and coaching services to help nurses, PAs, and NPs find remote jobs.
I have purchased her membership before and It teaches you so much about how to set up your resume for an online job, and where to find the position. Actually, she has a whole sheet that I believe she updates weekly that gives you remote positions and breaks it all down for you. It’s awesome.
Then there is NurseJeanStar. She teaches you how to enter into medical sales. She has a masterclass out there and she has started creating digital products to help more medical professionals make the change into medical sales.
This final nurse was a coworker of mine years ago, but I believe her journey started with a blog and has evolved into digital products. Her page is called Lattes lilacs and Lullabies and she is a postpartum RN who helps moms prepare for birth, postpartum, and motherhood.
Okay, Okay What’s Next
All of these nurses turned their passions and knowledge into a second stream of income. It can be done and many are starting to do this. The more you look for this, the more friends you will notice out there who are venturing into digital products. Trust me that’s what happened to me. I felt so alone in this adventure at first. I mean I followed Amy Porterfield but everyone seemed to be from the business world, not healthcare. It made me worry if I was doing the right thing, which is why I share with you other nurses who have done it.
You are capable of creating this business, when you join this membership you will have the foundation of your business up and running in 4 months. Many of you will start to make sales and more of you are setting yourself up for a successful future.
This membership is full of resources and we will be working through the framework together. I don’t want you to be overwhelmed. I am focusing on empowering you and allowing you to move at your own pace. I will have Voxer access open so that you can contact me when questions arise. I want to make sure you’re feeling supported during the beginning stages. This was the time that I second-guessed myself the most. I want to make sure I am here for you.
I am leaving the link for my email list here, you can join the waitlist. I will be inviting my email list to the beta group launch first. If you choose to not join the membership this round, just know It will not be open again until April 2025. So if you’re curious, I would join now, this is the also lowest the price will be so take advantage of that.
