She started 14 businesses but only 7 of them are what she considered successful. However, for her, success is an inside job and not based on the opinion of others, especially those who haven't been in your situation because they are not qualified to give an opinion on what you are doing.In this episode, you will...Realize that your happiness is not dependent on other peopleLearn the importance of letting go of the things that weigh you downIdentify your highest priorities that will take you closer to your dreamsBe inspired and motivated to pursue your dreamsFind out the importance of delegating in your businessLearn that who you surround yourself with, mattersGet to know that it is important to share your dreams to the right communityDiscover the importance of joining in the right community Insights:"Life doesn't get better by chance it gets better by change.""And that for things to change, first I must change and I and the penny kind of dropped I realized that instead of blaming other people, looking on the outside of myself for the answers, it was time to work on me and change my philosophy.""To get what you want, and if you create a business around what you want your life to look like, how you can help it solve problems for other people answer questions, you take the focus off yourself, and you put it onto other people so fully serving, that's when you can go from level four to level eight in financially, spiritually, emotionally, in all areas of life." Resources:Millionairess MagazineTwitterFacebook
