    5 Lessons I Learned in NursePreneurship in 2025 (And What I’m Doing Differently in 2026)

    This is the final episode of the Nursepreneur Academy podcast for 2025, and we are closing the year with a honest behind the scenes debrief. In this episode, Liam shares the five biggest lessons he learned in nursepreneurship this year, how an adult ADHD diagnosis changed everything, and what he is intentionally doing differently in 2026 to build a sustainable, multiple six figure nurse led business. This is not a highlight reel. It is the real, messy, human truth of growing a business, getting sick six times in a year, navigating ADHD burnout, reconnecting with creativity, and learning to build a business that supports your nervous system instead of burning it out. In this episode, Liam talks about: Why 2025 was his highest income year in business, even while being sick more than everHow managing his energy and nervous system created more growth than trying to manage time perfectlyGetting diagnosed with ADHD and finally understanding years of burnout, crashes, and self doubtWhy doubling down on one offer and one ecosystem worked, and where that advice was too rigid for a neurodivergent brainThe tension between focus and novelty, and how he plans to honour both in 2026How having fewer clients but more support (coaches, editors, trainers, teachers) grew his income and joyWhy simple, human content often outperforms polished, overly strategic contentWhat it really takes to build a long term, personal brand based business in a nervous system informed wayHow reconnecting with creativity and play  singing, piano, dance, theatre  is now a non negotiable business strategyWhy your nervous system capacity and ability to receive support will determine your success more than your niche, funnel, or offer By the end of this episode, you will feel seen in your own 2025 journey, have language for some of the challenges you may have faced, and walk away with practical lenses to take into 2026 so you can build a business that is profitable, sustainable, and kind to your brain and body.

    How I Gained 4,000 Followers on Instagram and Hit My First 1 Million View Month as a Nurse Coach (And Why That Is Not Actually the Goal)

    My content didn’t blow up because I worked harder or posted more. It exploded when I finally stopped trying to be “original,” did less , and started playing the content game strategically. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I gained 4,000 followers from a handful of posts after posting over 2,000 times… and how I hit my first 1M-view month on Instagram. But more importantly: I’ll show you why those numbers are not the real win – and what you should actually be tracking if you want clients, not just claps.

    My Late ADHD Diagnosis Story (And signs I missed as a nurse)

    In this raw solo episode, I finally share my late ADHD diagnosis story and the signs I blew past as a high-performing nurse. The stuff that didn’t look like ADHD at all. The stuff I “normalised” in myself because nursing trains us to cope, push through, and mask the toll. I used to describe myself as lazy, inconsistent, “too much,” or mysteriously tired. Turns out, I was compensating for a brain I never understood. This is the conversation I needed years ago. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty while everyone assumes you’ve got your sh*t together,  you’re not alone. Maybe you’re neurodivergent, navigating a system that was never designed for your wiring.

    Step 5,6,7 : How to Sell, Launch and Grow as a Nursepreneur

    Sales feels icky until you realise you’ve been doing it your whole nursing career. In Step 5 of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam dismantles the biggest fear nursepreneurs have: selling. If you’ve ever advocated for a patient, educated a family, or persuaded a team to take action —guess what? You already know how to sell. “Ethical sales is just advocacy, empathy, and informed choice. That’s nursing.” This episode reframes sales as service and shows you how to confidently communicate your offer without sounding salesy or fake. You’ll learn how to launch before you feel ready, sign your first clients, and eventually automate and scale with strategy, AI, and ease. Plus, Liam shares the exact moment everything shifts: when you realise that nursepreneurship is just the nursing process... with invoices. ⏱️ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS ✔️[0:34] Why Nurses Don’t Want to Sell The taboo around sales and why it’s a mindset problem ✔️[0:41] How Selling Actually Works (Hint: You Already Do It) The nursing skills you’ve always had that translate to sales ✔️[1:24] What Happens When You Master Sales From “am I ready?” to clients, cash flow, and confidence ✔️[2:27] The Good News for Every Nursepreneur You’re not starting from scratch — you’ve already been doing this ✔️[3:09] The Nursing Process Is Nursepreneurship Assess, plan, implement, evaluate... sound familiar?

    Step 4: Holistic Marketing & Socials | Marketing for Nurses Who Want Clients, Not Likes

    Marketing for Nurses: Show Up, Share Value, Get Paid You don’t need to be an influencer to market your business — you just need to be a nurse who knows how to communicate. In Step 4 of the Bedside to Business series, Liam reframes marketing as something every nurse is already trained to do: educate, advocate, and build trust. If you’ve ever explained a tough diagnosis in plain language or made a terrified patient feel calm, you’re already a marketer. “Marketing is just powerful communication. And nurses do that every day.” This episode walks you through how to market yourself without becoming a dancing Reels queen. You’ll learn how to post simple, strategic content, grow your audience without burnout, and build trust with dream clients using your own voice and story. Plus: the #1 mistake Liam made that slowed down his growth — and how to avoid it. ⏱️ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS ✔️[0:31] What Is Marketing (Really)? Why marketing = nurse-level communication, not performing for clicks ✔️[1:29] What You Actually Need to Market Well Your nursing superpowers translate directly into brand trust ✔️[1:41] How Marketing Attracts Clients With Ease The mindset shift that makes people DM you to work together ✔️[1:55] Common Nurse Marketing Mistakes Perfectionism, personality faking, and ignoring your email list FREE RESOURCES 🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have? ✅ Download the Bedside to Business Roadmap – a step-by-step launch guide for nurses ready to build an online income stream. 🎓 Watch the Make Nursing Optional Masterclass – discover the 6 steps to turn your nursing skills into a profitable business (without needing another certificate).

    Ready to build freedom, but still stuck on your niche? This is the episode that unblocks everything. In Step 3 of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam dives into the real reason so many nurses overthink their niche — and how to finally claim your six-figure idea without spinning out or signing up for another certification. “You already assess, diagnose, and treat.

    Step 2: Create Your Business Care Plan | From Nursing Care Plans to Business Strategy

    How to design a Business That Fits Your Life — Not the Algorithm In this second step of the Bedside to Business roadmap, Liam shows you how to ditch the copy-paste strategies and create your own nursepreneur business care plan rooted in scalable simplicity and aligned goals.

    Step 1: Transition to NursePreneurship | How to Start a Business as a Nurse

    If you’re burnt out but secretly dreaming of building a business... this is your first step. In this powerful kickoff to the Bedside to Business mini-series, Liam takes you deep into the mindset shift required to transition from bedside burnout to nursepreneur brilliance. Spoiler: it's not your business model or being unsure about your niche that's holding you back — it's your monkey mind. You'll meet the two parts of your brain: the amygdala (aka your survival-driven Monkey Mind) and your prefrontal cortex (your visionary CEO brain). If you're stuck in stress and self-doubt, trying to “figure out your niche,” this episode explains why you can’t think your way to clarity — you have to feel safe first. “Your brain will sabotage your dreams in the name of safety. Don’t let it.” This is a must-listen for any nurse who feels overwhelmed, second-guesses their every move, or wonders if they have what it takes to start a business. ⏱️ EPISODE TIMESTAMPS ✔️[1:24] Monkey Mind Why your survival brain is sabotaging your nursepreneur dreams ✔️[2:05] Prefrontal Cortex = Your Nurse CEO Brain The part of your brain that makes business success possible ✔️[3:38] The Skill of Neuroplasticity How to rewire your beliefs and build a new identity ✔️[4:15] Common Mistakes Nurses Make Why you're overinvesting in branding and underinvesting in mindset ✔️[6:34] Here's the Truth You Need to Hear Hard truths about clarity, readiness, and starting before you’re “ready” FREE RESOURCES🚀 Want to start your own nurse-led business with the skills you already have? ✅ Download the Bedside to Business Roadmap – a step-by-step launch guide for nurses ready to build an online income stream. 🎓 Watch the Make Nursing Optional Masterclass – discover the 6 steps to turn your nursing skills into a profitable business (without needing another certificate).
