Power Notes from this episode:

* wanted to be a business owner but also loved the idea of corporate world

* shift the mind

* sometimes in corporate America as a black woman you can be the smartest or prettiest but still have to prove your capabilities, skills, and "earn" your rightful position

*you may know more about a particular topic but still have to fight for your seat at the table if you ever get invited

* corporate life demands your commitment and dedication

* to show interest in other areas outside of your "job" will cause colleagues to question your loyalty

* the forefront is what you see and what customers see but the administrative piece is on the back end and can easily be hidden

* in order to grow you need to have the finances in order (administration)

* paying attention to the whole business

* it's not about getting it perfect but being aware and planning

* having your finances under control will create safety

* have your priorities set and plan for what you want

* it's never about how much you make but how you spend it

* alot of us impulse buy and realize later it wasn't really worth it

* poor mindsets look for the next handout

* rich mindset looks for the next opportunity
