It’s an honor to welcome Rachel Proctor, an online educator helping people transform their lives through faith and online business to our Rising Women Leaders community. We touched on all the challenges we face as entrepreneurs in the online world: fear, self-doubt, the inner critic, comparing ourselves to those who are our inspirations, how to handle trolls and so much more.
Rachel not only shares her firsthand experiences, vulnerable moments, challenges and successes rising as a leader in online business, but also through running a campaign for mayor in her town outside of Dallas, Texas. If you’ve been having trouble believing in yourself, your gifts or your dreams, you may just find the motivation you need to take your first step in today’s conversation.
In this episode we discussed:
Making courageous business decisions (even when the odds are against you)
Finding your unique voice in a crowded mediascape
How to approach what scares us through mindset practices
How “failing” leads to our greatest success stories
How to navigate “compare and despair” in entrepreneurship
What Rachel learned from six years in local politics and her reflections after running for mayor in her town outside of Dallas, Texas
How to navigate the people who “attack” or speak up against you when you are taking big strides in your life and career
The role of faith in Rachel’s life and work as an entrepreneur
Bringing Black business owners/entrepreneurs to the forefront through education and building upon the principles and actions used by previous generations of Black business owners to achieve success in the face of inequality
