q: What can women do to boost their self-worth?
a: The most significant thing a woman can do to boost her self-worth is be conscious of her thoughts. Her thoughts inform everything around her. If she believes in herself, the world will too. Our most important job on this planet is to proactively clean up our thoughts.

q: What does money mean to you?
a: Money is the outward result of an inward belief. When you believe deeply in your personal and professional value, then you can expect abundance. When your work is aligned with positive intentions, you can be confident that you're totally hooked up.

q: You employ a team of dedicated women. What advice do you have for fellow entrepreneurs looking to do the same?
a: Make sure that the people you work with share your vision. Their intentions must align with yours. The power of a collective conscience of women in alignment with one another is immeasurable.

If you are in start-up phase, be sure to get innovative when hiring. There are many unique ways to work with people. You can barter services, offer commissions or a combo deal. If people believe in what you are doing, they are going to want to show up for the party.

Honor the women who work for you! I have a sisterly bond with all of the women on my team and hope to stand next to them for many years to come. Their dedication to this mission is invaluable.
