Founder of Women Action Takers, Lynda Sunshine West joins me on this episode and talks about her entry into entrepreneurship at the age of 51 after being in corporate America for 36 years and having over 49 jobs. Having grown up in a tumultuous household, Lynda shares with us how she ran away from home at the age of 5 and how that impacted her for many years to come. She also enlightens us on the biggest lessons learned after losing over $70,000 on her very first business venture.  Women Action Takers helps women entrepreneurs gain confidence to ask for their worth, clarity to attract clients TO them, and focus to get faster results.
