How do you define success? Believe, many could have fallen hard or hit ground due to office politics, bosses who don’t support you, colleagues who back stabbed you, partners in business who betrayed you, life partners who left you, but wait…rewind <— <— <— How many times you worked hard and won? How many times you raised above the expectations to get a better role or build successful business ? How many times your mentors guided you? How many times your well wishers - family and friends supported you? How well your raised your kid alone ?? Yes, by end of it, you win when you know your goals and big picture. Don’t let others opinion weight down your success. Thanks The Female Quotient for these inspiring stories. #management #leadership #strategy

We’re thrilled to welcome Fawn Weaver, founder and CEO of Uncle Nearest, Inc. Premium Whiskey. Fawn Weaver is no ordinary founder. She’s a trailblazer who’s not only resurrecting the legacy of Nearest Green, the first known African-American master distiller, but she’s also shaking up the whiskey world in a big way. Under her leadership, Uncle Nearest has become a symbol of quality and inclusivity, earning accolades and a devoted fanbase. 🦄 And it’s officially hit unicorn status with a valuation topping $1 billion. 💸 Uncle Nearest is also the fastest-growing American whiskey brand in U.S. history, the best-selling Black American-founded spirit brand of all time, and the most award-winning Bourbon every year from 2019 to 2023. It has earned more than 1,200 awards and was named "World’s Best" two years in a row. This is a tale you need to hear to believe. Fawn's story is a masterclass in how vision, determination, and authentic storytelling can disrupt even a centuries-old industry like American whiskey. We discuss: - The No. 1 most important skill for a drinks brand founder to cultivate - How Fawn navigated the roadblocks she faced as a Black woman founder in whiskey - How Uncle Nearest raised $225 million in funding from private investors - How to build a mission-driven brand – and the advantages of doing so Fawn’s iconoclastic approach to brand storytelling - And much, much more! 👉 Join us for an unforgettable episode: https://lnkd.in/eYbBZfRA #brandbuilding #beveragealcohol #drinksbusiness #drinksbrand #womenfounder

Today's topic is the second circle, and it all starts with Pizza Hut. When you think of Pizza Hut, what comes to mind? The salad bar, of course! Loading up those tiny bowls with precariously balanced toppings has become an Olympic event. But what does this have to do with your business? We need to take a closer look at our current clients and see what they have in their "salad bowl" from us. Are there any additional services or products that we can offer them at a special rate since they are already working with us? It's important not to underestimate the availability people have to other products once they are already engaged with your company. By pitching to past clients and now targeting current ones, we are sure to get some quick wins. So, let's stack our clients' bowls with even more value and see where it takes us! #marketing #businesscoaching #businessgrowth #leadgen
