We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Ann Konkoly, a women’s health nurse practitioner, midwife, and dynamic leader in the nurse-entrepreneurial world. In her interview, Ann opened up about the unique challenges and significant growth opportunities for nurse entrepreneurs, sharing insights from her journey managing two successful businesses.
Our girl Ann keeps busy and knows her stuff. She runs a private practice specializing in hormone therapy and medical weight loss, as well as a coaching business that empowers nurse practitioners (NPs) to excel in private practice.
Her experiences have highlighted three main obstacles that entrepreneurs frequently encounter: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and issues surrounding money mindset.
Here’s why: perfectionism can stall progress, people-pleasing can drain personal resources, and negative money perceptions often limit financial success. But there’s something you can do about it. Ann provides practical strategies to overcome these challenges, from letting go of perfectionism and setting boundaries with clients to developing confidence in pricing and charging what your services are truly worth.

A central theme in Ann’s approach is the power of taking clear, actionable steps toward business goals. She believes that aligning intentions with decisive action allows nurse entrepreneurs to transform aspirations into achievable outcomes. The other key to success? Building a robust support network and fostering community with like-minded professionals who can provide guidance and encouragement.
For Ann, these practices are essential for nurse entrepreneurs who want to thrive, not just survive, in business. Her insights offer a fresh perspective on the potential of nurse-led practices, demonstrating that strategic, mindful decisions, along with a solid support system, can empower nurse entrepreneurs to find fulfillment and long-term success.
