Hi, I'm Brooke Elder...
CEO of Social Tenacity by day, wife & mom by night (and always, 24/7, 365 days a year...)
I started my business with the same good intentions most women do - to spend less time in my day-job (as an elementary school teacher), and more time with my 4 kids.
But it wasn't long before I hit the same walls most women face...
- Getting paid $3 an hour for all the work I was doing (and giving away my knowledge for free)
- Trying the strategies my leaders were suggesting without results (and being told it was me that was the problem)
- Putting my family on the back burner to chase success (and pretending my heart isn't breaking whenever they say they miss mom)
- Drowning in a never ending to-do list of tasks that really don't light my fire (but they're what you're "supposed" to do)
- Chasing new ranks, incentives and approvals (and wondering if I'll ever get to drive that dang car)
And even when my business saw some success, it never lasted. Hustling wasn't working. Sleazy and icky tactics weren't working. My business wasn't working.
