and heart so let's dive in. This whole shindig is Q&A Tuesday. Today's question

comes from Kristen and Kristen writes,

Hi Marie, I know that I have the talent to make it big with my business,

and yet my biggest challenge is my introverted nature.

I'm contemplative and a great observer and that's a

Thanks again, Marie, you are creating exactly what your gifts and talents are made for.
