Why you'll never be ready...

Aug 11 2024 24 mins

One of the biggest barriers to purpose-driven women putting themselves into the world as impact experts is that they never feel “ready” which means they will always find a reason why they’re not ready yet! What is the cost of never being ready? What is the cost of never realising the life and impact you seek? If you want to make a meaningful difference in the world and you
