This Could Be The Most Shockingly Open Entrepreneur On This Whole Freakin’ Site – with Alexis Neely
In the very first set of questions, I asked Alexis Neely how she could teach business skills without feeling like a fraud since she filed for bankruptcy.
What I admire about her response is that, instead of being embarrassed to talk about it or making excuses, she opened up. She talked about feeling like a fraud BEFORE her bankruptcy, but also what she did to protect her money and her family from bankruptcy.
