Inspiration is abundant if you’re looking for it. The new year sparks inspirations for us to set personal and professional goals that you want to accomplish throughout the year. Getting and staying motivated can be a challenge, so it’s great to read and take notes from people who you relate to. I read a number of Caribbean career and entrepreneurship blogs and wanted to share a few of my favorites with you. While they’re geared toward the millennial women, there is value to take from all of them regardless of age group.
