Started her career as a Lawyer

4 years into her career when in high momentum, 

she decided to take the leap to run her business full-time

May not have been an easy decision

What if she didn't succeed in biz
How about finances...

Did she feel like going back to her law career


She talks about all these and also the real business stuff:
