QUOTES
06:00 "I think (corporations) struggle with (diversity) because they don't really treat it as a must-have. They treat it as a nice to do. And for so many years it's been viewed as not a business imperative and something that they're doing for PR purposes."
08:01 "Let's test it out with a function, with a division. Let's get feedback. Let's get focus groups together so that when we roll out a program that's enterprise-wide, it actually has a true chance of having real impact."
13:17 "That is what originally inspired The Female Collaborative, it was because that are doing their thing, who have value and resources, and have the intent to collaborate with other women to make magic and create legacy together."
16:11 "That is what I would say to entrepreneurs is that the emotional rollercoaster you're always going to be on, the hustle never stops, and that it's okay and for some that is the journey that they experience."
17:34 "Entrepreneurship sounds very sexy and sounds very exotic for a lot of people, but it is the hardest work that you will ever have to do."

I love to help people. I love being a resource for everyone and know when someone has a question regarding their personal finances and business finances, they can contact me. In addition, I believe in the law of reciprocity and it is not just about receiving but also giving. I get excited when someone needs assistance in something and even if I don't have the solution, I know someone that usually does. I am a huge New York Mets Fan, New York Giants Fan, MMA Fan, and Pro-Wrestling Fan. Fun Fact, I have been to 16 WrestleManias. Lastly, I am also an International Best-Selling Author for my book entitled "Networking Your Way to Success: 10 Steps to Building Relationships & Expanding Your Business for Entrepreneurs & Working Professionals."
