034 From "Sea of Sameness" to Land of Opportunities - Lucinda Cross

As a mother of three, she knew her responsibilities and what needed to be done. And, while she had worked up from a very rough start (a poor choice at 18 that landed her in the federal pen), she found herself swimming in a sea of sameness, and not getting anywhere new. Determined to do what was best for her and those that depended on her, she was plagued with at least two questions - Is this the right thing? and is it too late? Bestselling author, Lucinda Cross, joins us on the show to share the answers she found and three, pivotal, ReLaunch! action steps that will power your takeoff.

Since her ReLaunch!, she has been on-fire to inspire, encourage, and uplift women; to teach them how to learn from their experience, tap into their gifts, greatness, and how to build a business that makes a difference to them and to others.
