Maven Moment:

When Nicole talked about having a positive money mindset, I instantly knew some of you guys are struggling with this very issue as well. I'm so glad Nicole mentioned it on the show and I think what she said about proving to herself that she did, indeed, provide value to her clients is so important for everyone to hear. It does take time to believe in yourself and to stop comparing yourself to others, but you have to put in the work necessary to help you overcome it.
