You do not need to know everything about business to get started and position yourself as the go-to expert in your field. You do not even need to have something to sell to get started! The key is to be passionate about the change you want to see. Then, put one foot in front of the other to create that change. This is exactly what Furkan did. In this episode, she shares how she went from feeling frustrated by not seeing enough women like her in the Tech industry to launching her business and becoming the go-to expert in her field in less than two years.
