BOLD Black Girls

In this episode, we invite L'areal Lipkins of "A Woman with a Vision" as our special guest to discuss vision boarding! Every year as the new year starts, many people write their goals for the year but many times fail to accomplish their goals. L'areal shares the process of learning how to finally move from setting goals to actually executing them!

L'areal's Bio

L'areal (Larry-L) Lipkins is a success strategist, entrepreneur, and author who left a job making multiple six figures to help other women pursue and achieve their biggest dreams. Prior to starting her own company, L'areal spent nearly a decade training Fortune 500 companies as an executive for the largest sales training company in the world. It was during this time that L'areal became obsessed with figuring out why some

people were successful, while others struggled just to get by. L'areal released her first book, A Woman With Vision: How to Fulfill the Goals and Dreams God Has Given You.
