2. In this episode, Valentine shares
his speech at the 2018 LA Nurse
Expo and discusses why he never
wanted to depend on a single
income, employer, job, or a boss
to determine how he lives his life.
Everybody should be an
entrepreneur of some sort, but
that doesn’t mean that you have
to start a business. Be involved in
something that is bigger than
you. From your pain comes your
purpose, let your wounds be your
work.

4. Val’s Background
Taking Charge of Your Life
Val went to Cal State and received a bachelor’s
degree in nursing.
After graduating, he got his dream job working
at a top hospital in the ICU.
6 months in, he was fired from that job. He was
called into a back office and told that he was a
really good nurse, has great integrity, and is
smart, but wasn’t a good fit for this unit.
This experience taught him that jobs are not
safe, and he never wanted to be in that position
again.
It’s risky to depend on a single income, a job,
and a boss to determine how you live your life.
Val started looking into business – when you run
your own business it cannot be taken away from
you.
You are responsible for your own success.
While working 50 hours a week nursing, Val still
built his business with no excuses.
It took a year and half to grow the business to
reach his first million.
Everyone has a purpose, inside and outside of
nursing.
Val owned a gym for 3 years and felt like he
was living someone else’s narrative.
He closed down the gym and took a huge risk by
taking a pay cut.
He was so willing to make it work that he was
driving for Uber and doing whatever it took.

5. Following Your Purpose
People that don’t have zest in their life, but
it doesn’t have to be that way.
People’s lives just become a blur – they get
up, work, go home, and do it all again over
and over.
Val doesn’t want that. He wants to be the
type of nurse that goes into a night shift
because he wants to, not because he’s got
to make money.
When you’re relying on one avenue for
your income, it leads to burnout because
you don’t have anything else.
Pursue your own purpose. You’ll be a
better person because of it.
