4. Why are women holding back, with Dr. Cortney Baker - a podcast by Valerie Rocio

Dr. Cortney Baker is an award-winning entrepreneur, host of the podcast Women in Business: Inspirational Stories of Women Entrepreneurs, TEDx speaker, and a fearless nationally recognized authority on women’s leadership.

In this episode, Dr. Cortney and Valerie discuss female empowerment, how to scale your business if you're looking to grow while keeping impostor syndrome at bay. This isn't a conversation about how women are the victims of the patriarchy, but rather a debate on how to foster and grow a network of women who support other women to climb the ladder.

Key Takeaways from this power-chat:
-Take control of your circumstances, don't take the victim's seat. Dr. Cortney herself started her career as a teenage mom and that didn't hold her back.
-You can grow your business from nothing, as long as you stay on your lane, focus on yourself and surround yourself with people who will become your cheerleaders.
-As a Boss, it's ok to be friendly, but don't try to be your employees' BFF.
-As you grow your business, hire someone who has expertise in the skills that you're currently lacking.
-How does your dream job look like 10 years from now? Map the full journey now to see what the process looks like.
