Author Quotes
The first thing you probably learned as you launched your business and became an entrepreneur is that none of the rules you may have learned up to this point in your life apply.
No doubt the first lesson you learned was that ‘that thing’ - the core of your business - that you are so good at, becomes much less important, overshadowed by the need to market yourself and your business to generate and close sales.
Your business’s ongoing success depends on your ability to surround yourself with a winning team. If you want to experience true and lasting freedom, you must be able to both grow your business and still maintain your quality of life.

In her book, Bigger Than You, Kelly Roach walks us through a new and refreshing journey to think about how we can stop our businesses and growth journeys being just about us as founders, and more about how we need to take our people with us. This is a great read for any woman entrepreneur who wants to grow a great business and a great team. — Melanie Hawken, founder & ceo, Lionesses of Africa
