Does this sound like you?
⛈ Super overwhelmed with your success and the day-to-day grind.
⛈ Drowning in details, feeling like, “… it's all too much and I'm not enough”.
⛈ Repeating the same patterns of behaviors that lead to the same disappointing outcomes.
⛈ Full to the brim with great products and ideas but don’t believe you can create a business out of them.
When my pilot program Take Our Daughters to Work Day became a national sensation, I was drowning in the details... working in my business instead of on my business.
That led me to start Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence to help women grow their companies.
Owning a successful business changed my life forever. Putting me squarely in charge of my creative and financial freedom.
I want the same for you, that's why I created this course for you!
