How do you\u00a0become a Biz woman who ROCKS?<\/p>\n

Listen to our Interview with Ashley Drake of The Natural Grip\u00a0to Find Out!<\/h1>\n

You’ve never seen fire like drive like Ashley Drake! \u00a0The founder of\u00a0The Natural Grip<\/em> willed her company into existence when she simply saw the market for a problem she was having. \u00a0The Natural Grip is a grip you can use to protect yourself from tearing up your hands while lifting, doing cross training or cycling. Ashely appeared on Shark Tank in November 2014 and is one of the most confident and driven entrepreneurs that’s ever been on the show (and it will be evident when you listen to our interview!). \u00a0In this incredible interview, she shares about how they sold product in the early days without a website and by leveraging social media, how she handled being in the Shark Tank and what the aftermath REALLY looks like!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ashley’s\u00a0Kick-A$$ Quotes:<\/h2>\n

It was so amazing to me that we had created something that didn\u2019t exist out there and people were wanting it so bad that we couldn\u2019t keep up with demand and to lose that opportunity just because we couldn\u2019t keep up, to me, was just foolish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Failure\u2019s not an option.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

When you\u2019re small, you are riding that wave of success or you\u2019re crashing to the bottom based off of the blood, sweat and tears that you\u2019re putting in.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
