Q: What is the best/worst moment you can remember in your career?
In 2011 I quit corporate life and started my first company, small business growth consulting. Going out on my own was exciting and super scary. My best moment was when I got my first check from my first client after I had gone out on my own. It was only $850, but it felt so amazing to have reached that milestone.
Q: Looking back – if you could advise a younger version of yourself to do something different – what would it be?
Be braver in making your way — feel free to leave the traditional, respected paths. Fulfillment comes from following your heart and letting your dreams unfold.
