In this episode, I celebrated my 10-year anniversary in business and shared the biggest lessons I’ve learned along the way. I talked about starting my business when my kids were very young, the bold steps I took to stand out, and how I slowly built confidence by putting myself out there even when it was uncomfortable. Over the years, I discovered that growth required raising prices, learning new skills, hiring help, and even letting go of toxic people who held me back.
I also shared how I had to keep adapting, through challenges like COVID, shifting my business into alignment with what I loved, writing my book, trying new things that scared me, and learning to manage money better. Looking back, I see how every year taught me a new principle that shaped my journey. My main message is that we are always building a legacy with our choices, and accountability is what keeps us moving forward toward the life and business we truly want.
