I’ve been an entrepreneur for almost ten years, and I’ve learned a LOT during that time. I wasted so much time and energy trying to be who I thought I was supposed to be. I hid my quirkiness, perfected my fake smile, and honed my small talk skills (even though it killed me a little inside each time). I did all the things I thought I was supposed to do – got a fancy website, joined leads groups full of salesy weirdos, and signed up for expensive programs that promised to teach me the exact steps to make a million dollars in 90 seconds (well, not quite, but you know what I mean). When that didn’t work, I paid way too much money for coaches who convinced me that my mindset was the only reason I wasn’t making money, and I tried so hard to think the thoughts I was supposed to think. SPOILER ALERT: None of it worked. If any of this sounds painfully familiar, or you’re just trying to dodge those bullets, you’ve come to the right place.

Some of the most important lessons I learned are that authenticity is the key to success, nobody knows what’s best for your business except YOU, and that intentionally growing real relationships with the right people is the key to consistent business growth.

As the Founder and CEO of Powerful Women Rising, I’m here to help you grow YOUR business YOUR way. I’m not out to be your business guru or pretend I have all the answers. I’m simply here to share what I’ve learned as a successful business owner, show you how to network authentically, empower you to take the next steps, and connect you to a powerful group of supportive women who believe that a rising tide truly does lift all boats.
