Quotes:
“Unlocking the doors to success and having the keys to success is also just having a network. Creating a network where people feel safe around you, that they know they're going to get the real deal, and that you can go to them in a safe space and talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. And it doesn't stop how they see you. You're still fantastic. You're still amazing. But this is the network that loves you regardless of the good, the bad and the ugly and will vouch for you. No matter what.” - Precious Williams
“I often say, go where you're celebrated, not tolerated, and sometimes you don't know where you're going to be celebrated. And that's why you try different rooms.” - Precious Williams
“As women, I think we are programmed to kind of put ourselves in places where we're not valued. And instead of being like, ‘this room is the wrong room’, we tend to go, ‘I'm the wrong person’.” - Jessica Fearnley
“It's really interesting how even from the very beginning, when I started Denver Dames… [I decided] I'm going to interview women running seven and eight figure businesses. That's what I'm going to do, because I want to demystify this mark so that women can see that you don't have to have two heads or six arms in order to do it. So I would bring these women into our events in Denver, and that's what we still do, and interview them and just have them describe what are the keys that they feel to getting to that level.” - Meghann Conter
