7 Steps to Create a Personal Strategic Plan for 2022

Instead of resolutions, I believe that you need a plan. And not just any plan, not some loosey-goosey list of high faluting things you’ll never accomplish, or a gushy statement of acceptance that is actually just stunting your growth.

Three Sisters Empower Women With Their Products

What first drew me to the Caden sisters. Sisterpeneurs and founders of Belly Bandit and Proof created two mission-based companies.
