KEY LESSONS LEARNED:
Mindset
- All the tips and tricks in the world won’t get you anywhere without the right mindset.
- Rarely does anyone say “you should be an entrepreneur”, being an entrepreneur becomes part of your identity.
- You have to give yourself permission to fail if you want to eventually succeed. Your risk of failure is the same as the potential level of success.
- Being the boss is being responsible for all areas of your life. It’s an energy level, not a position.
Entrepreneurship

- Entrepreneurs create, succeed, and fail. That’s the job description.
- You have to go where your tribe of people are.
- 5% of small business are owned by women but a large majority of businesses owned by men have a team of women behind them.
Competing
- You can’t beat the big boys at their own game. You have to play by your own rules.
- Don’t tell, do.
- We are taught to not invite ourselves to the party. Don’t wait for a formal invitation when it comes to business and becoming known in your field.

- “Does this feed my confusion or strengthen my clarity?” A question to live by. When you are clear, you can make decisions, and from there make money. Confusion causes upset, which causes bad decisions.
