"1. I'm not sure what you've been told, but you can be a good mom and run a business. Don't ever let anyone tell you different. 2. Your side hustle can become your multi-million-dollar business. Don't ever forget that. 3. You'll never be successful if it's all about money. It needs to fuel your fire. It needs to be your passion." - Lisa Collum, Author/CEO, Top Score Writing
