That takes guts." – Karen Yankovich "When you're willing to open yourself up, it's gonna take effort and it's gonna take work, but it's worth it. It's worth it to just start, start somewhere, do the hard things, take the step that's uncomfortable." – Amy Thurman "I had to really, really think, and I had to decide, 'I'm worth this. I am worth this. I'm going to do this.' Because when I invested in myself like that, I'm like, 'Okay, we're doing this, we're jumping in with both feet, and we're making something happen.' And that's pretty much exactly what happened." – Amy Thurman   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Where you can find Amy Thurman: Website Amy’s Free Gifts LinkedIn Facebook Instagram YouTube Sign up for the She’s LinkedUp Masterclass Join my free Facebook Group if you have any questions about today’s episode   Help Us Spread The Word!
