We see a lot of conversations on the internet where people talk about the importance of being humble. They say being humble will take you places, BUT, they forget to tell you that being too humble won’t take you anywhere. There is a thin line between being humble and being too humble. The difference is big. One can take you to great heights, meanwhile the other can prevent others from knowing about you. In the current world we live in, we should be the marketers of our own talent.

Straight Up Sisters The Podcast

Accountability is a game changer! It’s super humbling yes… BUT it removes the shame from your choices and circumstances.

The LACK of accountability is when we fail to accept our own shortcomings and...
