Want to know how you can turn your life around? Are you in charge of your own destiny? Are you interested in becoming a successful entrepreneur? What does your next level look like? We all need to be able to touch our own next level! We all need to take that next step towards becoming a successful entrepreneur. Sometimes we overestimate that we can do everything and accomplish everything on our own- 76% of people think mentors are important, however, only 37% of people currently have one. Only 14% of mentor relationships started by asking someone to be their mentor. 61% of those relationships developed naturally. People with mentors are happier at their current jobs than those without.

Adjusting and Working On Your Light-

Be Willing To Be Your Own Rescue-
- Lisa shares that we have to be willing to put ourselves first.
- We have to be willing to build something for ourselves so that we may have something to give back.
- We have to be willing to ask ourselves the questions, “ What do I need?” “What does my dream need?” “What do my next 5 years need?” and “What do my next 10 years require of me today?”
- Lisa also highlights that we have to be willing to risk it all to gain it all for ourselves.
Mantra for Taking the Next Step-
