My mom doesn’t even work. She just types on her computer all day.”
The dawn of a new (female empowered) age is upon us. More women than ever before are entering the workforce, kicking a$$, and taking names...or at least phone numbers & email addresses. Whether they come via traditional career paths as doctors, lawyers, or businesswomen, as network marketers with their own home-based businesses, or as aspiring entrepreneurs with nothing more than a dream and a prayer, women are poised to become the future breadwinners of their families.
And if you think the #BOSSMOM era is reserved solely for millennials and young 20-somethings, you are sorely mistaken. The rise of the Mom Boss is for anyone who has the hustle, the grit, and the determination to succeed. These women hear opportunity knocking and choose not to let fear hold them back from achieving their dreams.
Be confident in your abilities. Embrace fear as a way to change and grow in ways you never thought possible. Empower others. Remember that success is not reserved for a select few, but for anyone who is willing to go and get it. Be kind to others. Pay it forward. Beyonce already answered the question, but in case you forgot: Who runs the world? GIRLS.

Success doesn’t come to you; you go to it. For anyone who thinks they can sit back, dream, and wait for the golden doors of opportunity to come knocking at their feet, they are sorely mistaken.
For entrepreneurs, especially women, a significant amount of student loan debt can directly impact their ability to start a business.
People like to paint rosy pictures for social media, but excuse me while I get real for a second. 4:75 - What does that number mean to you? If you look at it as a win-loss ratio, you'd be sitting at 5% (borderline epic failure). What does it mean to me? It's the number of games Keylen's dad has been able to be at since Key started sports 3 years ago. 4... out of 75.
Everyone knows the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day." And everyone knows it means that important work takes time. But do you know the second, lesser known part of that quote? It continues, "...but they were laying bricks every hour." Rarely is anything an overnight success.
When the opportunity first came about to join Rodan + Fields, I was polite, but without hesitation, said no. For one, I am not a sales person. Two, I despise network marketing companies (MLMs as they are commonly know), and three, I don't have time. But reasons aside, is Rodan + Fields just another scam? I evaluate...
The power of social media is undeniable. We live in a Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook LIVE happy world, where every moment is captured, shared, analyzed, and talked about. As a small business, it used to be impossible to face off against retail giants. Not anymore.
So let’s talk bad reviews. Have you ever loved a certain product and went online to read the reviews about it and you’re like, say whaaaaat?
