Meet Elena Cetola, the owner of the group practice Good Hope Wellness. She shares how her experience immigrating from Peru and how the work ethic she was taught led her to take a CNA course, apply to nursing school, work on an inpatient psychiatric unit, and return to school to become a nurse practitioner. She describes the positive experience she had working in community mental health but the decision to ultimately start her own business in order to put her energy and effort into her own dream as opposed to someone else's. She promotes leadership training, mentorship, and valuing people over profit.
Key Takeaways:
-business is hard but doing it for yourself in a way that is giving back brings it full circle and makes it rewarding
-your path is your path for a reason and things happen the way they should
-if you are working for me it is because you care about people
-do not give away your values because the right person will come along
-there is a leader in all of us
-in coaching you serve as a guide rather than leading with your expertise
-if we value people we benefit personally-you cannot lead a team successfully if you are not leading yourself-let your team know you are human and we all make mistakes-business ownership is 24/7
