The Female Founders Secrets of Success event last night was amazing!!

I had an incredible time sharing insights and experiences alongside an amazing group of women business owners like Joanna Mirov and Teresa Ging moderated by Jessica Dawson.

Organized by Megan Wessels at Hera Hub / EXPANSIVE , this event was truly empowering, shedding light on the transformative journeys of female entrepreneurs who have gone through over a decade of remarkable growth 💪

We shared lots of secrets to success but these are my main takeaways:

♦️Build your MRR (monthly recurring revenue).

♦️Stay innovative.

♦️Find your people and niche.

I look forward to attending more events like this. Are you looking for a speaker for your next event? DM me and let’s plan it together.

@wbenc National Conference first timer here 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m so amazed at the group of women owned businesses I met and brands who are supporting women and minority business owners.

I learned a lot in the first day already about preparing my capabilities statements, thanks to @bobbonniol

Got to finally meet my WBENC Colligiate Accelerator mentee, Faella Bell, MBA and my fellow mentor Marc Winston from @walmart

What an amazing week!! I’m tired but I’m grateful to have spent my week at this conference in Nashville.

Big congratulations to Colleen Bonniol for receiving the WBE Star Award ⭐️!! Thank you for encouraging me to get certified a few years back, Colleen.

Another congratulations to my WBENC Collegiate Accelerator mentee, Faella Bell, MBA for delivering a top notch pitch for her new ethnic ecommerce business. So so proud of you 👏

Thank you to Professional WOMAN’S Magazine for featuring me on their latest magazine issue, spotted all over the conference’s expo this week.

My fellow Women’s Business Development Center Top Shelf program sisters whom I got to hang out with and created action plan together as first-timer at the conference, Sunitha Chandy Psy.D., Cheryl Vargas, Victoria Rock, Melissa McAtee, Erin Foster, SHRM-CP and more, I’m so thankful for our learning and sharing this week. Here comes more homework for us.📚

Some say failures are great lessons. Others say failures are for the privileged.

I say find the sweet spot between how much you can risk and what lessons you want to take.

Break it down.

When something feels really hard for you to do, break it down into smaller steps.

If you can't find the willpower to go to the gym, start by putting on your workout suit.

If cooking is such a chore, start by opening your fridge.

You will then see how much easier things flow once you take the first, dreadful step.

✨ DM me for more help around business, design, and womentrepreneurship!

All Raise Chicago Unconference was exactly what I secretly needed 🤫

Shoutout to Ellie Bahrmasel, Haley Kwait Zollo, Meghan Doyle and All Raise Chicago team for putting this event together last week at Listen Ventures. Unlike the typical conferences, the Unconference was …

Intimate. Probably about 50 people or so. Which makes it so easy to navigate when it comes to approaching other women tech founders, investors or service providers during the networking sessions.

Packed with shared knowledge. Sure they have amazing panels with the badass women entrepreneurs like Coco Meers and Jennifer Fried but they also have mini open sessions where it’s mainly set in a mastermind format.

Wholesome. I have feel disconnected with many women in my Chicago network. This event brought us all back to reconnect and making new connections.

Thank you All Raise Chicago team for all that you do to support women in tech in our ecosystem. Can’t wait for the next event ❤️

Mentoring has always been one of my favorite ways of giving back.

Through mentoring, I help feed my mentees’ minds and thoughts, encouraging them to fast forward in their careers and life — as my past mentors did to me.

If you’re a woman looking to further your development, leave a comment or DM me. I’ll be more than happy to connect and chat with you ♥️

I’m back on Insta! I haven’t been spending too much time here lately. Some of you might already know why. This year has been a lot! So many things happened and it forced me to focus. I’ll still be sharing more tips and insights for women in tech, creative, and entrepreneurship. In the meantime share in the comment your recent win. Big or small, let’s celebrate what you have accomplished in the past 6 months.
