What she wished she knew:
“…[T]he one thing I wish I knew when I first started was the value of time. There was a time in my business that I would spend networking with no results, giving away millions worth of content for free and attending dead-end workshops because I thought I could change the mindset of others.
“When I began to count the value of my time, I realized how much of my time I gave away while infusing value into others while missing out on major opportunities. I believe much of my mishaps originated initially from my failure to know my worth. When I realized how much time and value I gave away, I spent almost one year playing ‘catch up,’ then I learned a great lesson that time is the one investment that you cannot get back. So spend your time wisely.”
