She is considered one of the coolest female here. She shared some insights for those who dare to dream:
- If you need help, ask for it. Learning to ask for help is not a sign of weakness. In fact, it is a sign of humility. When you need help, it won’t hurt you to ask for it. If you need someone to balance your accounts, hire an accountant on temporary basis.
- Do not act like a newbie. If you act like a newbie, you are only giving yourself an excuse to make mistakes. If you act like the boss, your steps will be carefully measured because you carry the weight of responsibility.
- Learn to say no. If you are greedy, you will take every opportunity that comes your way. That is not good. If you know that you cannot deliver the results your client wants, you should know better by saying no.
These are just some of her words. She is indeed an inspiration for those who dare to dream.
