Inspirational Quotes

“That’s, honestly, the number one thing that’s in our way is ourselves.”

“Once you can get in front of all of that: the insecurities, the fears, whatever’s stopping you, blocking you, self-sabotage – then you start glowing and the business starts blowing up and you start shining.”

“The one thing you have to learn in entrepreneurship, besides becoming a more vulnerable person, is that nothing happens as fast as you want it to.”‘

“You need to talk to other people to figure out what you need.”

“You have to keep collecting all the failures, which aren’t actually failures, they’re just arrows pointing you in the right direction.”

Coaching Advice

Are you a busy mom struggling to find the time to connect with a community?  Jill had these ideas for finding and meeting your people:

1) Similar to joining a gym or starting therapy, you do have time, you just have to make time in your calendar for it.

2) Even if it’s an hour or fifteen minutes a week, carve out time to ask around to find your group.

3) Be willing to ask the pointed question: what are you looking for?
