Few things in life are simple and straightforward, and building a business is no different – it’s not easy, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to pull a fast one. This talk provides a comprehensive, real solution to your business challenges. Richelle Shaw identifies and illuminates the nine steps to building a business to the million dollar level based on her proven techniques.

Overcome! – How to overcome every obstacle:

Staying focused on the positives instead of the negatives can sometimes be very difficult. No matter what obstacles have come my way, staying positive has allowed me to overcome them. When I started my obstacles were I was young, African American, a woman and I don’t know if you can tell but a little chubby too – but I learned how to overcome all of them to build a million dollar business. This talk will help you identify and tackle your most challenging and surprising obstructions.

After Failure:

Failure is a given in life; expecting to sail through life without a hiccup is unrealistic and sets you up to fall harder when failure does happen. This talk will help you focus on gaining the resiliency needed to cope with it, a vital element of bouncing back.
