In 2001, my friend and I started a business. We weren’t even 30 years old. I remember the support we had from friends and family and hearing the words from my dad... ‘If anyone can do this, it’s you. You’ve got the drive, the ambition and the tenacity to get what you want as long as you put your mind to it.’ After 12 years of building and running a business, I had learned a tremendous amount but had lost the passion for what we were doing. I realized that the thing I loved most, was trying to fix the business and find new avenues for growth. I had been helping local women for the past few years with their businesses and imparting not just business advice, but career coaching, social media education and brainstorming ways for them to grow their businesses. I discovered that what I was doing had been engrained in me since I was a kid…. I was Fostering and I loved it. I loved seeing the satisfaction when these women closed big deals or watching their ideas become their realities. I loved Fostering them and decided, this is what I am meant to do be doing. It’s literally, who I am.
