Free RegistrationI'm inspired by all women who can launch and operate a business, manage a family, and give back to their community.
How do you stay motivated?I remind myself of the legacy I am creating for my daughters - showing them that you can chase your dream and be a wife, mom, volunteer - really anything you want to be.
What would you do with the $25,000?If i had to use it on my business, a lot would go to advertising and marketing within my community. There are several community events such as the Community Block Party to welcome the freshman at the local university, or the Buffalo Days parade, where I would like to better promote my business. My workspace is in need of a revamp. My computer is probably coming to the end of it's life. My "frivolous" spend would be a $600 a month membership to a coaching program.
