So in writing the book and really thinking about my story, I'm always thinking about where are women now?
Why do we get stuck?
And that literally was the story that I grew up believing.
And then how do we get out of that?
How do we build the confidence to speak up, to get out of it?
And when I think about the life I could have had, how far forward I could have been if I didn't have a belief system that didn't serve me and what my life could look like, oh my God, I try not to like dwell on it.
And I think that becomes the first step.
So we can teach business until the cows come home.
But if you don't believe that you're good enough to get started, you won't actually get started.
But that's kind of the thing that's like, okay, that's the gift that I wish every woman had so that I didn't have to go through it.
And so that became my North Star.
And the confidence part was
It wasn't even learning the business itself.
I don't consider myself smart.
I was put in a special class for being mildly dyslexic.
I was stuck for eight years.
So I really struggled the whole way.
I didn't think that I had the right, if you will, to speak up and say that I was unhappy because I felt grateful.
But learning business, for me at least, was ABC.
You can read books.
