Description

Success isn't a solo act—and your career won't elevate itself.

Whether you're building a business, climbing the leadership ladder, or diversifying income streams as a Multipreneur, the people around you play a massive role in your growth. So who’s in your corner?

In this episode, we’re taking inspiration from Dale Carnegie’s timeless wisdom and remixing it for today's modern woman: career-driven, community-minded, and ready to thrive on her own terms.

You’ll discover how to intentionally build your “Support S.Q.U.A.D.”—a network of allies, mentors, and advocates who can amplify your impact, open doors, and help you shine without burning out.

  • 🎤 Why being your own hype woman is essential—and how to do it with style and strategy

  • 🤝 How to initiate meaningful partnerships with peers, mentors, and even decision-makers

  • 💼 The secret to building your Personal Board of Directors and why it’s crucial for career-minded Multipreneurs

  • 🌟 The truth about personal branding—and how your “reputation equity” influences opportunities

  • 🔁 How reciprocity (aka good karma) fuels momentum in business and life

  • 💬 Scripts and ideas for spotlighting others, offering support, and asking for collaboration without feeling awkward

This episode is packed with practical tips and mindset shifts to help you navigate office politics, entrepreneurial partnerships, and leadership relationships with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re a W-2 warrior, a side hustler, or running multiple income businesses, the strategy is the same: Surround yourself with the right people—and be the kind of superstar others want to champion.

Start building or expanding your Support S.Q.U.A.D. today by focusing on:

  • Supporting those who can support you

  • Delivering quality work that makes advocacy easy

  • Asking how you can help others succeed

  • Deliberately connecting with those who have “pull”

Remember: **your network is your net worth—**and the value flows both ways.
