Imagine a world where every girl and young woman is encouraged to dream big: a world where they're unafraid to fail and empowered to pursue their passions. We have the ability to ignite their imaginations and instill the belief that they can achieve anything, and yet so often, we fail to do so. Why?
This isn't new: societal, cultural, and gender expectations about a woman's role in the world are powerful and often hold women back. Their worth is too often tied to their appearance, and they're expected to conform rather than embrace their true selves. It's no wonder that countless girls struggle to find their voice, believe in their abilities, and realize their full potential. It's time we changed the narrative.
If you're raising, teaching, or coaching young girls, you're probably wondering how to prepare for these challenges. In Believe in Her, Diljeet Dosanjh Taylor draws on her two decades of coaching experience to address questions such as:
The power of belief is strong: girls with dreams become women with vision. No matter what role you play in a young girl's life, you can help them cultivate more confidence and self-esteem. In Believe in Her, you'll discover how to lift girls up and inspire them to soar.

The difference between you-an entrepreneur-and the average financial advisory client is massive. You don't color within the lines. You don't like being told what you can and can't do. Most of the rules of thumb don't mean much to you because you'd rather create your own path than follow the traditional path that everyone is on. You prefer to think about what's possible rather than what limits and restrictions are in place. The word retirement probably makes you cringe. You don't even remember a regular 9-to-5 or what it feels like when you can just go home and completely forget about work for the night or the weekend. You chose a different life...and all of the burdens, stresses, and opportunities that come with it. Most people don't relate to your lifestyle as an entrepreneur and don't understand why you think and work the way you do.
But you wouldn't have it any other way. You love the thrill of it, the excitement of closing a big new deal, creating a new product or service that your clients and customers love, or expanding your business in a new way. Knowing how differently and uniquely you approach your life and business, why would you settle for taking financial and business advice from someone who's never walked in your shoes? Why wouldn't you consult with financial experts who understand your entrepreneurial mind from their own personal experience?
In Wealth Wired Differently, seasoned entrepreneur, bestselling author, and financial expert Chad Willardson clearly explains the advantages you miss out on when taking financial advice from non-entrepreneurs. Drawing from his own entrepreneurial experience and nearly 25 years of counseling entrepreneurs, Willardson reveals the power of 7 advantages of working with an entrepreneurial advisor.
As much as you know you need experts in your corner when you don't feel understood or in alignment with your financial team, that friction will hold you back and limit what's possible. Wealth Wired Differently is here to help you solve that problem and get back to what you do best: thinking big, exploring possibilities, and creating maximum impact for the people you and your business serve.
