Maven Moment:
Colette’s personal statement of, “We raise together.” resonated so well with me. Community is near and dear to my heart. In this day and age, there’s no reason why we need to be competing with our friends. It’s amazing what happens when you have a community of like-minded people backing you up. It really accelerates your results by having that support network around you! So, don’t do this alone. Seek help and seek a community.
