Accelerators are as diverse and varied as the start-ups they serve. While there are some universal features, such as an application and selection process and educational programming, the specific offerings can differ widely.

I subscribe to the belief that as an angel investor I should be open to a variety of investment opportunities as I build a successful, early stage company portfolio.
This is going to be BIG.

My favorite thing about being an entrepreneur? My business has allowed me to become the most authentic version of myself. However, it wasn’t always an easy journey to get here. As I’ve reached a high level of success in my own business and coached hundreds of six- and seven-figure female entrepreneurs, I’ve seen one theme repeatedly: Financial success is amazing, but with business growth comes added external pressure — pressure from your team, your advisors, and even your customers.

Like tens of millions of others, I downloaded Threads onto my phone yesterday and signed up. The thing that Twitter has been missing since it killed off its ecosystem over a decade ago is competition. And as we all know, lack of competition is a very bad thing.

The old adages that "cash is king" and "you can’t spend profits" still hold true today.

At one point, my business nearly collapsed. As a result, my outlook shifted to a more negative place.
