I believed in my own idea from the beginning & I was confident in my skills & my experience. But there was a change when I started to have people committing to me & committing to that vision. Whereas earlier, it was a little bit scary for me to go to someone & ask for money just for me, suddenly when I was standing for a group of people who believed in me the equation & the chemistry there was completely different. So going & asking on behalf of my team who are dedicated to this was a completely empowering moment & I’d liken to the lioness with cubs. I’m a mother, once your children or your people need something, they need tools to get done what they need to get done, you don’t hesitate for one minute not only to make the ask, but to turn every single stone that you can to do right by them. It becomes not only a rational question but a totally emotional one in the most positive way. You just will not take no for an answer! I think that’s a great strength that women have, that we just want to see more & more of.

Do you think that this is a common thing because many people have said to me that women have trouble asking for money?
I don’t know. I haven’t asked that question per se. I guess I would compare it more to the side of my life that’s a mother. Because I know lots & lots of women who are essentially the CEO of their own household & are making big decisions every day that have life long implications. And a lot of them used to be shy people. I just see that every mother I know turning it on 100% of the time in that population. I have to imagine that it translates over.
