What’s your story for 2022? It has been said that you are the story you tell yourself about yourself, whether that story is about the past, present, or future. That’s why the famous statement by Henry Ford rings true. He said, “Whether you think you can or, you think you can’t – you’re right.” So, what is the story you want to be true about the rest of your year or life?
Today’s gal pals are Yolanda Gray and Ellen McIlhenny. Yolanda is an author, speaker, and certified holistic faith-based life coach for Christian women. She’s all about women taking back their life and overcoming obstacles. Ellen McIlhenny is the owner and CEO of CFO Plus Services. She and her team work with business owners as a fractional CFO, bookkeeping services, and trusted advisor to increase business value and maximize earnings. In today’s episode, Mary shares her pre-scribed 2-minute story format with Yolanda and Ellen and we all share in the amazing results!
