  1. Follow your passion, follow your heart.
  2. Don’t procrastinate.
  3. Don’t give up on your dream. Surround yourself with people who will support you.
  4. Take advantage of the COWOI ladies. They have experience & wisdom to share.
  5. Listen to YOUR instincts.
  6. Follow your heart. Don’t be afraid to try something you’ve never done.
  7. Stay true to who you are. Let your friends be there for you in hard times.
  8. Forget “conventional” thinking. Some of it’s not worth squat.
