Mature Women Can Change Their Careers and Lives In Major Ways, Says Author/Expert

Mature women can learn new ways to change their lives says a career expert who is also an "Inc." Top Ten Entrepreneur. The secret is knowing the '10 Strengths' that make a difference.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) February 24, 2006

Mature women can make a 180 degree change in their careers and their lives says entrepreneur Vickie Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD, the Houston businesswoman who revolutionized the nursing profession for tens of thousands of traditional hospital RNs by teaching them how to be highly paid entrepreneurs. She says the same lessons apply to other women and shows how in her newly released book, "Inside Every Woman: Using the 10 Strengths You Didn’t Know You Had to Get the Career and Life You Want Now."

The author says her book is aimed at women of all ages who are frustrated with their careers and personal lives. “Deep down inside,” says Milazzo, “every woman possesses what she needs to succeed.” Milazzo outlines strategies that “produce profound, positive change. By adding just one or two of these success strengths, women can realize exponential gains -- but the real secret weapon is using all 10,” she says.

Milazzo’s road to business success began when she was a little girl teaching an imaginary class in her shotgun house in New Orleans. Today, as owner of a $12-million dollar business, Milazzo, 51, has put a new face on the woman-dominated health industry by pioneering a new profession for nurses -- legal nurse consulting. Beginning with less than a hundred dollars seed money in 1982, her 29-person company revenues have tripled over the last five years. As the founder and president of Vickie Milazzo Institute, a division of Medical-Legal Consulting Institute, Inc. (www. LegalNurse. com), she has trained and mentored more than 20,000 RNs in how to turn their traditional hospital nursing careers into entrepreneurial businesses that advise attorneys on medical-related cases.

Milazzo has been recognized with numerous awards. "Inc." named her to their Top Ten Entrepreneur list in 2004 and Pitney Bowes awarded her company Most Innovative Small Business. She won the prestigious Stevie Award for Women Entrepreneurs -- Mentor of the Year.

Businessweek Online “Savvy Selling” columnist Michele Nichols says, Milazzo’s book “is stuffed with good advice, real-life stories and womanly wisdom.”

"Inside Every Woman: Using the 10 Strengths You Didn’t Know You Had to Get the Career and Life You Want Now" (www. InsideEveryWoman. com) is available wherever books are sold.
