Cirque du Soleil is my all-time favorite entertainment group. I try to see every show they do and fortunately my travel schedule often affords me the opportunity to do so. Over the weekend I was excited to enter the familiar blue and yellow-striped tents to see their new show Amaluna right here in Houston.
The Cirque performers have bodies that create astonishing movements. They’re freaks of nature, willing to attempt movements none of us would ever imagine, much less dare try.
When I shared this thought with Tom, he laughed and said, “Vickie, you’re a freak of nature in your own right. Like Cirque performers you make what you do look easy. Other legal nurse consultants would break their necks trying to do just half of what you do before breakfast.” I laughed and appreciated that Tom’s my biggest fan. But he’s onto something. If you want to be successful as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant you don’t have to be a freak of nature, but you do have to be willing to do what the masses aren’t willing to do.
As an example, a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant was whining and complaining to me about how he (and he was a big bruiser) didn’t know how he could possibly do what was needed to launch his legal nurse consulting business plus work his full time RN job at the hospital. I laughed and said, “There’s no crying in business – just get on it.” and handed him a Kleenex®.
Some people would say the Cirque performers were born that way. But I say they train themselves to stretch their boundaries day after day after day. That’s what this Certified Legal Nurse Consultant needs to do. How about you?
I’m Just Freakin’ Askin’
P.S. Comment and share what you have in common with a Cirque du Soleil performer as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant.
