I had the opportunity to talk with a very successful businessman as part of this NursePass story. He provided some great advice, as well as introduced me to a colleague of his that helped us secure our first patent. Looking back at the notes from that conversation, I had written in darker ink than anything else⊠âMailbox Moneyâ: simply launching NursePass for the sake of collecting a check in my mailbox. His point was about the âexitâ and just collecting my stake.
It sounded appealing. Iâll be honest. Iâm very âgreenâ to entrepreneurship. My previous startup experience was secretly selling Bubblicious gum in elementary school at recess and on the bus. I had a display and everything, but Iâll save that story for later. The idea of just walking to my mailbox to find checksâŠit sounded dreamy. Dreamy until I went back farther into my notes from StartUp Weekend â14. A surreal winning weekend that I often reflect back on to keep my focus.
NursePass isnât about the deal nor the exit. Itâs a compass. A beacon. The star we follow. I had a mother tonight thank me for what weâre working to do with NursePass. Beyond her kind and flattering words was a parent simply hoping for the peace of mind we want to bring parents while their children are at school or daycare. The tweet of thanks from the over-worked school nurse. Thatâs our beacon in the night.
I donât want mailbox money. I want a mailbox (or inbox) full of notes of thanks or anecdotes of how we helped bring the peace of mind to parents we pitched on that night in April.
