Knowing your value means owning your success. Owning your success means acknowledging your achievements.

“If we as women don’t raise our hands in the workplace, we’re not going to get the same opportunities men do. Because men keep their hands up.”

“The men’s way of doing business is without emotion. It’s just money. It’s just business. Emotions play absolutely no hand in business in America in general. You have to bring as little emotion as you can to it.”

Even today, a surprising number of us still think that it’s the man’s job to make and understand money. Far too often we delegate this responsibility and don’t learn enough about money—so of course we fear it.”
