Cameron Herold’s Ted Talk “Let’s raise kids to be entrepreneurs” is interesting, it makes me challenge the way I was taught to save, how I was paid for the jobs I did, and how even a business degree doesn’t prepare you to run your own business.

My first day at Conquer Camp

1 Comment

Conquer Camp is a 2 week virtual digital camp for entrepreneurs wanting to take action and acts as an implementation incubator for your business. So if you feel stuck in your business, or have been procrastinating over something lately join Natalie MacNeil and the She Takes on the World team for this free training camp.

The first task at Conquer Camp was to discover our conquer archetype based on our business personality and personal traits. Unsurprisingly as a Marketing Specialist I am The Messenger as I love to share and promote other people’s ventures. This blog here is proof as I promote not just this camp programme but Winning Women, Ladies Who…Network and the lovely business owners in those group! I am so busy helping others get their message out there that sometimes I forget to share my vision with the world.

Sign up here and tune into the first session and see if you hear yourself being described – I recognised The Revolutionist and The Creator archetypes in my network – without naming any names!
