"We are women and we can do anything!SM"
This is the mantra of Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD, and she believes every woman should adopt it. In fact, she shows how in her new book, Inside Every Woman: Using the 10 Strengths You Didn’t Know You Had to Get the Career and Life You Want Now (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006). With 33,000 copies in print, it became a best-seller on amazon.com and 1-800-CEO-READ and currently ranks in the top 10 percent of business books sold nationwide. The foreign rights have been sold to Bulgaria, China, Poland, South Korea and Switzerland.
Milazzo, named by Inc. as one of the nation’s top 10 entrepreneurs, has revolutionized a woman-dominated industry by pioneering a new profession for nurses – legal nurse consulting. Over the past two decades she built her company from an idea and a hundred dollars in the bank to a 27-person business with annual revenues of $14 million – quadruple that of just six years ago. As the founder and president of Vickie Milazzo Institute since 1982, she has trained, mentored, educated and inspired tens of thousand of professional women.

“Every woman has the skills, emotions, intelligence and ability to achieve at a high level in all aspects of her life,” Milazzo says.
Milazzo shares the inspiring strategies that lifted her from being stuck at a career crossroads to breaking through and not only creating a business, but spearheading an entire industry. Raised in a shotgun house in New Orleans, she overcame her humble circumstances to put herself through school. She says she was raised not blue or white collar but "no collar" – because she could only afford T-shirts.
After being a nurse for six years and not finding it as fulfilling or financially rewarding as she’d hoped, Milazzo vowed to do whatever it took to create a satisfying career she could love. She created a new consulting profession for herself that then spawned an industry. Rapidly transforming her nursing career into six-figure success as a legal nurse consultant, she realized that other registered nurses could achieve similar success if they only knew how. Since then she has taught tens of thousands of RNs how to apply their nursing skills and expertise to a wide range of health-related legal cases – reviewing medical records, testifying as nursing experts, conducting medical literature research and providing dozens of other services related to court cases.
Milazzo realized that her personal and professional experiences and those of her students applied equally well to women in all walks of life. “Every woman can achieve her boldest visions for life and career,” she asserts. “It’s a matter of taking charge of your life, living your passion and taking action to support your vision. But every woman deep down inside possesses what she needs to succeed.” With that conviction, she spells out her strategies in an easy-to-read yet challenging form.
Inside Every Woman reveals 10 real strengths to achieving unreal success.
The self-made multi-millionaire does not offer the same prescriptions as other self-help books. Building on her own personal experiences and the experiences of thousands of other women, she filled the book with life and career strategies that help women to live the life and pursue the career choices they desire. Milazzo’s unique, fresh voice empowers women in a way that is realistic and time-tested. She invented the Female FusionSM phenomenon to bring women together in a powerful and new way, and to move them toward more audacious goals.
Milazzo dynamically shows how women can become the CEOs of their lives. She shares dozens of compelling stories to illustrate how to harness one’s feminine qualities, rather than subdue them. Her book celebrates women and reveals the secrets she has shared while mentoring women to new levels of success.
"This book is not for whiners, complainers or dreamers, but for women who are willing to put action behind their dreams,” says Milazzo. She coaches women through an exploration of their hidden strengths and invites them to take the action steps that will help them achieve the career and life success they want and deserve.
Whether positioning for a promotion, contemplating a career change, considering starting a business or pursuing an important life goal, Inside Every Woman demonstrates how to bring out what’s already inside of every woman.
