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.
