Whether it is more status, more money or creativity. - She is passionate about helping people understand how the thinking and their behaviors gets in the way of their success or who they think they would like to be. - There is a fear of connection especially women in particular will have a hard time approaching someone. The fear piece is tied into "Am I good enough". - It's not just about connecting but it's about how you are connecting and what's the value you bring to those connections. - In today's day and age you can find thousands of connections but you will have to find the meaning behind those connections. - In her latest book she talks about how you become influential? -As an entrepreneur you really must be building your influence either as a thought leader or somebody people want. - It is easy to be seen in today's time but just being seen is not enough you gotta be putting in some work. - For women entrepreneurs it is important to speak up, every time you remain silent you are giving up the power, that's the huge piece for women to understand. Women entrepreneurs need to take ownership of who they are and what they've done. - In Jacqueline coachi
