Biggest Takeaways:
Heather and Veronica talk about the importance of linking arms with other women who have different gifts and competencies from our own. We’re not all gifted the same, and we often need people who have strengths different from ours to bring our ideas, dreams, and products to life in a way that finds more success than if we were doing it on our own.
When working with her clients, the mistake Veronica most often notices is that people (usually women) are trying to solve all of the world’s problems in a single product--and for the low price of $19.99! When it comes to online marketing and product creation, we can’t do it all with one product. It only takes one product per problem, and this approach also allows for clients to create additional revenue streams but creating multiple products to solve multiple problems.
Veronica talks about how the word “balance” is a myth that makes working women, especially mothers, feel terrible. She stresses the importance of knowing your children and making the deposits in their lives that matter most to them--for her, it’s laying in bed and talking for a few minutes at bedtime each night. Our success as mothers will never be measured by the hours we clocked.
