Description

What if the future of your career wasn't about navigating broken systems, but about seizing control and building your own unshakable empire? From a decade in big law, Amy Nelson saw corporate America's flaws firsthand. She pivoted, building The Riveter into a powerful digital media company championing women's financial independence. Flexibility and equal pay are still massive issues, and the "safe choice" of a corporate job is anything but, so it’s time for you to build your own brand.


Key Takeaways:

  • Leverage your skills independently, don't rely solely on your employer.

  • Build multiple income streams for financial security.

  • Establish yourself as an expert online (LinkedIn, YouTube, etc.).

  • Overcome fear and share your opinions; women's voices are crucial.

  • Support other women; success is not a limited resource.
