And then you sit there and this is sort of an interesting part because you come to the point where you really have to make the choice on whether, what did you do it for?

And for me, the realization that, especially being an immigrant, a single mom,

somebody who was in a creative business, who sold a company to somebody like Bill Gates, I recognize that there really is not a lot of information, especially for women out there on how to make stuff happen.

And so I felt that it was really important to share the information.

And this is sort of one of the things and I don't know how you feel about it.

But I think you do know exactly what I'm talking about, because you're doing it too.

When you get

To the top.

And you have a story to share.

It's almost success comes with an incredible obligation to share the information with other people so others can do what you did and take the shortcuts that we didn't know existed.

That's interesting.

You know, I believe there's one part about it that when we come out on top and then people say, well, tell us about the trials and tribulations.

I'm going like, I don't want to talk about that anymore.

Now I'm on the other side of it.

But we do forget.

And this is so important to tell the story, which I've learned now is that

The stories don't sound the princess woke up one day and somebody offered her to be queen.

The story goes stuff was bad, things went down, it got even worse.

And then a really bad stuff happened.

And then on top of it, that one big blow came, and then something something happened, and you turned your life around and you figured it out.
