Act Like It’s Inevitable: Build from Certainty, Not Survival
What if the difference between mediocre and breakthrough results is not strategy, but certainty? In this bold and entertaining talk, Cathy shares an unforgettable story of how she danced on stage with Prince—not by luck, but by deciding it was inevitable—and shows women entrepreneurs how to stop building from survival mode and start moving with conviction.
Takeaways:
• Stop Hoping. Start Deciding. Gain clarity on what you want so you can move with conviction instead of hesitation.
• Connect Instead of Hustle. Opportunity accelerates when you share your vision—NOT when you grind alone.
• Say Yes to Yourself. Build from what energizes and aligns with you—not from pressure, comparison, or what you think you “should” do.
