My passion to help women start, grow and scale theirbusiness, to lend them my belief when they need it and toshow them how to be, do and have it all without compromise,could never be too much.

That power and potential that Ihave just started to tap into is that I am a Manifesting Queen.  |  17Excer pt from Manifesting Queen by Leann e Lopez Mosley Forbes in ternationa l business coach, sp eaker, and founder o f The Produ ctivity Qu een.
