Gail Becker on She's Got Moxie with Gail ChudacoffI’m really excited to have Gail Becker, founder and CEO of CAULIPOWER, on the show today!

I was reading the LA Business Journal recently, and I came across an article about Gail. She left her very cozy, corporate, successful 16 year career to start a business making cauliflower pizzas.

I was so impressed that I decided to get in touch with Gail and bring her on the show to share her incredible path as a businesswoman and entrepreneur.

On today’s show, Gail tells us about what led her to start her own business. She also talks about how a long-term corporate career can help you in your own business, her philosophy on taking risks vs. staying comfortable, her daily routine, and many more amazing insights.

Get Ready to Thrive!

I don’t usually get into gender politics, but my own mentor Ali Brown is making a pretty good case for how WOMEN are beginning to dominate the entrepreneurial world.

And the funny thing is, most women aren’t looking to “dominate”. This transition and growth is happening naturally, simply because technology and business have evolved… to allow us to THRIVE.

She lays it all out in this video: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

I just watched it. And honestly, it blew me away.

Ali shares how current opportunities are making it EASIER than ever for us to create the incomes and lives we always dreamed of.

But for most women, our STRATEGIES and ACTIONS have NOT caught up with the immense possibilities right in front of us.

In this video, she shares some fascinating stats and insights on WHY this is happening (I love her research), and she reveals the simple solutions for us to THRIVE: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

These videos are online and F’REE for a just a week or two, so you definitely want to go there now before you forget. She even gives a cool little exercise on how to “get back to your why”, so you get re-energized anytime you need to.

Let me know what you think.

Again, here’s where you want to go: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7

P.S. You’ve probably heard of Ali from her transformational experience on ABC’s “Secret Millionaire”, or perhaps her being one of Forbes’ “Women to Watch”. But what I love most about this gal is she’s got SOUL. As much as she’s accomplished, starting from scratch, she’s really fun and down to earth. Watch and see what I mean here: http://bit.ly/O7NVG7
