Business is great and you’re ready to scale to the next level of success! Scaling sustainably is a process, and it doesn’t happen overnight.

I’ve been running my business for a long time, and over the years, I have gotten a LOT of advice from coaches, advisors, strategists and mentors. Some of it has been fantastic. I have been inspired time and time and again by the brilliant ideas I’ve received from some of the most creative people I know, and they made my business better. Other times, well, let’s just say, it hasn’t worked out as well… Deciding not to a follow a mentor’s advice was my Stevie Nicks moment - the moment I realized, “Wait a minute, you CAN go your own way!” And that changed the way I ran my business!
