More lessons like this, please! So great to see both you and your business are thriving. I' d be so curious to hear your solopreneur journey -- the ups, downs, defeats, surprises, and eventual victories. Your mentor must also have a fascinating backstory, too. Last but not the least: Craigslist for the win! :D

"I am now accompanied by an unwavering sense of self-confidence. I've learned to be my own best friend who never doubts that I will do my best to meet the next challenge."

Yes! I so resonated with this. I too am grateful for the freedom that comes from working for myself. And you make a great point, in many roles I had, I felt as though I was working in a system that didn't value my strengths. While all good foundations for who I am today, I'm thankful I can take care of myself now! Also, I'm bummed, I didn't realize I didn't put your event on my calendar! I will have to catch the recording, I know it was likely a good one. Great essay Leslie!
