In an effort to always bring you the latest and greatest information, I am happy to present another installment of our Advisory of Women Entrepreneurs Spotlight interview series.
We designed this series to, not only showcase our community of amazing women entrepreneurs, but to also share their best tips, strategies and insights for wanna-be and established women entrepreneurs. Our mission for this community is to bring an incredible group of women together to inspire, motivate, and support women in business by networking, collaborating, and, in the case of this spotlight series, showing you why they shine so brightly!
This week I am pleased to share my interview with Melanie Hope, award-winning speaker, author and President of Hope Speaking LLC.
In our interview you will discover that Melanie is a true bootstrapper, and is so passionate about what she’s doing that, in her own words, she’d rather live under a bridge than go back to work for someone else (I know the feeling). Learn why she refers to herself as a “Momentum Speaker,” and more about her upcoming book, Get Over It and Get Started. Enjoy the interview!
Thank you for watching. If you are interested in joining A.W.E. and being featured on a future Spotlight Interview CLICK HERE for more information.
