7. Why is having a powerful personal brand important to you?
I believe our most valuable resource is people’s attention— and if people don’t notice you, you won’t be able to help them. A strong personal brand is one that gets people’s attention and connects with them on a deeply emotional level. This is so important for myself and for my clients, who are coaches, experts, and authors dedicated to helping people improve the quality of their lives.
8. What is your #1 tip for fellow women entrepreneurs?
Jim Rohn says, “You are the average of the five people you surround yourself most with.” I whole-heartedly agree. Spending time with highly successful, driven people is what will push you to reach your full potential.
