We asked Tonia, where do you get your founder fuel from?
My personal fuel comes from my intuitive awareness. When I feel an emotional connection towards something meaningful, it ignites the essence of my natural talents, skills, and abilities. It is typically a sign that lets me know when something connects to my purpose. There is a certain flow state that generates excitement!

If you could offer one piece of advice about entrepreneurship, what would it be?
Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart, however, when you align your "why" and you believe in what you are doing, it will help you stay the course.

If you could ask readers to do one thing after reading this, what would it be?
Examine your "why" and how you will incorporate self-care, so that you are prepared to be your "own" best boss.
