Summary
Whether we’re at the top of a corporation, running our own business, or working as an employee, we’ll often find a million different ways to outsource our leadership to others.

This week I’m joined by online business legend, Amy Porterfield. Tune is as we dismantle some of the myths about starting your own business and discuss developing a CEO mindset, how socialization affects female entrepreneurs in particular, and the biggest mistake Amy made in her first year of business (so you can avoid it too - whether you have a business or not).

| 0:13.8 | and coaching to rewire your brain and get what you want in life. And now here's your |
| 0:19.3 | host, Harvard Law School grad, feminist rock star, and master coach, Carla Lohanthile. |
| 0:28.1 | And though my chickens, I am so excited to talk to you today's guest. In fact, we just |
| 0:33.2 | started like blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, chatting immediately as soon as we got |
| 0:36.0 | on and then we were like, maybe we should like record this and back up so people know |
| 0:40.0 | what's happening. So if you are in the online business space at all, you for sure know |

| 0:49.1 | and age. And she can tell you much better than I do all of her accomplishments and accolades |
| 0:53.5 | and what she does. But I know Amy as the person who I think I first started following to |
