Let’s Build the Life You Were Made For
Hey there,
I’m Erica Hand, wife, mom, dual-certified nurse practitioner, and founder of NP Business Academy.
I started with nothing but a dream (and a ton of grit). No roadmap. Just a belief that I was made for more. Today, I run a thriving practice and help other NPs do the same with less burnout and more balance.
And if you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to turn your knowledge, skills, and purpose into something bigger. A practice that reflects who you are. A life that gives you more time, income, and impact.
Let’s get started:
Tip #1: Start before you feel ready.
Why this matters:
Most NPs never launch because they think they need to know everything first. Truth is, clarity comes through action. Waiting for the “perfect time” is the fastest way to stay stuck.
Action Step:
Write down your why. This is the reason you want to start or grow your own practice. This becomes your fuel on hard days.
Example: “I want to create a practice where I can spend more time with patients and still be present for my kids.”
Tip #2: Your mindset will make or break you.
Why this matters:
Self-doubt, fear of failure, and perfectionism are the real business killers. You don’t need to be fearless, you just need to move anyway.
Action Step:
Each morning, ask: “What’s one small thing I can do today to move my business forward?” Then do it. Action builds momentum, and confidence follows.
Example: Research EMRs, schedule a call with a mentor, or outline your ideal services.
Tip #3: Your business should serve your life not the other way around.
Why this matters:
If your practice drains you, it’s not sustainable. Your business should align with your values, lifestyle, and long-term goals, not just your profession.
Action Step:
Define what freedom looks like to you. Is it a 3-day workweek? Full control of your schedule? Passive income? Let that vision shape how you build from the start.
Example: “I want to work 4 days a week, only see adult patients, and have Fridays off with my family.”
Final Thought:
You don’t need to have it all figured out to start. You just need the courage to take the first step and the right support to guide you along the way.
We’re not just building practices here. We’re building lives we love. Every week, I’ll be dropping gems to help you simplify, scale, and succeed faster and with less stress.
You’ve got this, and I’ve got you.
I can't wait to see what you do next,
Erica Hand
