Persistence: Making It Happen No Matter What with Tanya Baylor

Are you resisting obedience? Maybe you know what you need to do, but you keep trying to head in a different direction, just to be pushed back. In this episode, I am chatting with Tanya Baylor to discuss saying "yes" to yourself and understanding the true significance of that "yes."

 

She is a God-fearing woman who serves as a minister, motivational speaker, best-selling author, domestic violence advocate, mentor, and devoted mother. With excellence, she strives to live a life of a servant leader. She is active within her community and is often called upon to serve at various venues such as churches, youth events, domestic violence, and community outreach programs. She is also an active member of the National Association of Mothers and Daughters United Worldwide, where she has assisted with great passion with planning and developing programs and events for women and girls who have suffered traumatic experiences. In addition, she has served as lead editor and author for the I Am Her Story Project with over 70 authors who share their stories of tragedy to triumph, which reached national and international territories and made Amazon bestseller lists two years in a row. She is the eldest of six kids and has been a significant influence in the lives of her siblings and mother, and her greatest gift and ministry is her daughter. Along with all this, Tanya is a paralegal specialist for the United States federal government, where she has served for over 27 years. She graduated from Northern Virginia Community College with an associate degree and legal assisting. 

 

"As an entrepreneur, you must remain persistent and remember why you started entrepreneurship. That was for you, and nobody else can get it for you, but you." - Tanya Baylor
