Breaking bad ceilings and the rising of women leaders

Anne states that in the women’s circles of very high entrepreneur groups that she’s in where all the women are making over a million dollars, It is heart-based, it is vision-based, it is value-based, it is full of integrity, it is women coming to save and heal the world, not to make $1. She went further to say that not that men have typically done that, but men will get an idea. Women are problem solvers. And women are nurturers. She spoke about tips to break those bad ceilings, which she referred to as bad mindsets; she says it’s about women helping women, whereas before it was like this competition if you take the word competition out of what you’re doing and you understand principles at your core, you will continue to grow.

Advice for young women in leadership roles

Anne gave a very important piece of advice: you’re in someone’s life for a reason your life matters, you have a purpose. So you might not know what that is. But you have light for the step that you’re on right now. She states that if you have an idea for something, don’t dismiss it. That idea really could be a multimillion-dollar maker.
