I opened Lisa Copeland's new book to page 346 and found my name.
She listed me as one of her business partners at eXp Realty. I'll be honest, I had to read it twice.
This week I drove to Austin to celebrate the launch of Lioness Unleashed: A Manifesto for Women Who Refuse to Stay Silent. The theme on the sign at the door said it all.
Your experience is your power. What will you do with it?
That question hit home. I spent nearly 20 years as a military spouse, starting over every time we moved. I used to see that as something I had to work around. Lisa reminded me it's actually what I build on.
Then she sat down with her mentor, Sharon Lechter. If you don't know Sharon's name, you know her work:
-Co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and more than a dozen other Rich Dad books.
- Author of Think and Grow Rich for Women, Three Feet from Gold, and Outwitting the Devil with the Napoleon Hill Foundation
Here's what I wrote down from their conversation:
🌟You're the CEO of your own life. Your thoughts, your words and your actions are yours to lead.
🌟Stop chasing perfect balance. Make intentional choices today. Strung together, they become a life that means something.
🌟Live above the line. Choose accountability, courage and contribution over excuses and guilt.
🌟Don't just make money. Understand it, invest it, grow it, and build wealth that outlasts you. Ladies, this one isn't optional.
Two great questions to ask yourself daily:
How did you add value to someone's life today?
What's the most important thing you learned today?
The whole afternoon supported Not On Our Watch, the Texas Women in Business initiative protecting kids from online predators.
Thank you Lisa for the signed copy, for counting me as a partner, and for the reminder to ROAR. 🦁
Who you surround yourself with shapes what you believe is possible. I'm choosing my rooms on purpose.
