Repetition of your ideas is a good thing. In truth, repetition and consistency are vital to being a thought leader. Our capacity for delivery is not infinite. It pays to have a team behind you, so there is still reserve to do your best work. Quotes: “A constant bombardment of ‘you should do this, and you have to do that’ can alienate women entrepreneurs because the advice lands on us, and it may not feel good to me, or it doesn’t align with my energy, my integrity, or my vision.” - Eva Jannotta. “An internal reaction is valuable data about a course, advice, ideas, strategy, and tactics, whether they are a good fit for you. Most of us don’t trust that internal response. We have trained ourselves to override it right out of the gate. It’s a disservice to feeling good about our work and creating results we are satisfied with.” - Eva Jannotta.
