time- I have 3 kids.

What would you advise other women interested in starting a similar business?

Make sure your family backs your decision 100%, do your research, hire the best consultants, and understand that it takes money to make money. So many women I work with are afraid to invest in their business through training and education. Men dont seem to struggle with this as much. Most of all, make sure that you really want the responsibilities that come from being a business owner. It takes alot of hard work, focus, disipline and a take charge attitude to be successful.

What has been your biggest mistake?

Thinking that I have to do everything- right now today!

What has been your smartest move?

Hiring a Virtual Assistant. That freed me up to work on revenue producing activities and the things that I am best at!
