I AM SO PROUD OF ME!!!
This is not a boast nor a brag; this an acknowledgement of one's ability to keep pushing despite odds being stacked against them.
Everything in my life is not perfect. Frankly, there are a number of things that are absolutely out of whack right now, but I am so freakin' proud of myself.
If you would've told the little girl who was playing cards with her father in the visitation room of a federal prison that she'd be teaching college students (in a coveted entrepreneurship program) from HER OWN BOOK, she'd probably think you were crazy.
Yet, here I am.
This is why putting yourself in rooms where you are heard and appreciated pays in dividends.
This is why building real relationships that go beyond the transactional, surface-based business rhetoric are important.
This is why having self-confidence and fighting through self-doubt are necessary to keep going when you have a season of disappointments.
While I'm celebrating myself in this moment, know that this is not the pinnacle. The work, the focus, and the relationship-building are all still in motion.
