Resistance builds muscle. No one knows that better than Beate Chelette, the Growth Architect behind Chelette Enterprises and The Women’s Code. Her path to entrepreneurial success follows the hero’s journey as she immigrated from Germany to the U.S.
In this scale tale, Beate chronicles a series of natural disasters and the profound personal and financial loss she suffered after starting a photography business.
