    HEAD MY WARNING:


    stop taking advice from people who have no understanding of the challenges and experiences you are facing. Specifically, I am talking to women business owners! Don't take advice from male business owners or single women in their 20s. Seek advice from individuals who have been in similar situations and have achieved success. I even share my personal experience of following advice from a male coach and the negative impact it had on her business and personal life. There is value in working with a coach who understands the unique challenges faced by women in business.

    • Stop taking advice from people who have no understanding of your situation and challenges.
    • Seek advice from individuals who have been in similar situations and have achieved success.
