    · Leveraging the core skills you learn from one industry into an entirely new business

    · Making it impossible for yourself not to achieve

    What we can control is how we show up for ourselves, and those around us.

    You’ll hear about:

    · Getting started with whatever you’ve got right in front of you

    · Balancing brand and revenue building in the beginning

    · The power of just being valuable

    · Becoming a leader

    · And what to do when the market gets unpredictable
