Posh Goddess Spotlight on Julie: To be a successful business women today means:

"It is critical that we don’t get drawn into what everyone else defines as success so success is whatever you define it to be. I believe it takes persistence, passion, vision, resourcefulness, and, unfortunately, patience to be successful."

Julie's Words of Posh Goddess™ Wisdom:

"If you focus on the obstacles (such as being a woman in a mans’ world), you’re sure to hit them. Focus, instead, on your own path forward."

Julie Lenzer Kirk, truly is a remarkable woman! Be sure to purchase her book, and check out her website. I also recommend that you contact her for any future speaking events! She's empowering, passionate about what she does, an expert, and very professional! Truly a Posh Goddess, inside and out!
