Awesome interview, ladies. I am in the process of working on a year exit strategy plan and this kind of interview is just the kind of thing people like me need to keep going, keeping the goal in mind. My biggest challenge is to change the mind set I have about needing a steady income. By slowly changing the goal posts of my earning capacity I have started to change that. Thank you again.
That’s awesome, Saskia!
Can’t wait to see what the year holds for you given how much action you’ve taken this month!
And let me know when you’re ready to share your story-I’d love to interview you!
