Stephanee Beggs is a what many would call an accidental entrepreneur. As a college nursing student during the pandemic, Stephanee decided to get creative with the way she would study for exams. She found that the best way for her to study was to teach the information back to hersef as if she was a teacher. She often took videos when she was teaching material and never planned on sharing them with anyone. One day, she decided to post the video on Tiktok and the response was incredible. Stephanee got thousands of views on the video within a few hours and that is when she realized the opportunity she had on her hands to share her studying materials with others. She began posting more of her videos which ultimately led her to start selling some of her study sheets on Etsy under her new business name of RNExplained!
Stephanee made more than 2 million dollars in the first 2 years of business, and she is still the CEO today. The business sells many products such as study sheets, t-shirts, stickers, and flashcards and Stephanee also runs a very successful YouTube channel as well. Through her business, Stephanee has been able to help nursing students across the country study and she is truly an entrepreneur making a difference in society. She is also still working full time as a nurse while running her business which is an incredible amount of commitment showing just how much she cares about continuing to make content. What an incredible testament to the power of social media… Who knows what other entrepreneurs will be born because of small TikTok videos.

What a great use of rightr brained thinking. She found out what people want, and gave it to them!
I think she is a great example of someone who created her own funnel for sales through content. Content is the best way to create demand in the 21st century, and she took full advantage of it. Great work!
The story behind Stephanee’s business is inspiring, because she was able to reach a large group of customers simply by creating content for her own educational benefit. By focusing on creating value for herself, she was able to help others as well!
This is awesome! It reminds me of what we learned about regarding the importance of sharing hunches. She did not know that it was a hunch, but it never would have become a real innovation if she didn’t share it with others. This motivates me to put my own personal work and ideas out there in case they can form into something greater.
