Turning fear into faith to put you on the path to success

There is one piece of advice that people hear all the time: "take a risk."

Often times, this is easier said than done. During December's Professional Women's Alliance luncheon, Catherine Alonzo, CEO of Javelina, spoke about the importance of setting goals, how fear can get in the way of completing them and how taking a little risk can lead to big results.
