The last time I had been an employee was when I interned at… Continue reading You Can Be Independent, But Not Alone

Don’t Read this if you like wasting time…
Stop. Really, don't read another word. These words I'm about to write are only for people who are tired of being busy. Tired of working endless hours and not making the money they deserve.

Girl, Stop Grinding
This blog post is going to be published on a Monday morning. The morning of the grind. When I was new in sales, I embraced the term. I was bad at everything, cried often, but wasn't a quitter.

Let it all Hang Out
I was recently attacked on social media by a girl I hardly know. She had tagged me in a random post about how she didn't like that her friends promoted businesses on social media. (Let's not get into the fact that she's constantly posting boob pics to promote her "fitness" business. Also insert eye roll… Continue reading Let it all Hang Out
You are Not your Number
