Become Your Own “Sugar Daddy”: Choose Yourself, Choose Success
Episode Description:
In this Breakthrough episode, Sara Roach Lewis introduces us to Jessica Higgins, an investor, author, and owner of both an award-winning marketing agency, and an advisory firm. Jessica has staff and offices worldwide and has consulted with seven Fortune 100 companies, so she knows her stuff.
This ambitious go-getter, who considers “no” to mean “not right now”, doesn’t hold back sharing about navigating male spaces in business. Her values-led style of leadership drives every business decision she makes, and it’s paying off—she hit the seven-figure mark after just two years in business!
Tune in to hear practical advice for how women entrepreneurs can level the playing field. By choosing yourself always, Jessica believes women can create their own paths to success.
So, if you’re curious how to not only get in the room with businessmen, but also get your voice heard once you are there, this is the episode for you.
