At the end of this compelling talk about her working life, Lacey shares four lessons that have helped her overcome obstacles and succeed:

1. More haste, less speed.

2. The work will take the time you allow for it (aka Parkinson's Law).

3. Money is a tool.

4. Pain is inevitable, misery is optional.

This talk was for 18 to 24-year-old Australian women aspiring to start and run their own businesses, through the Accelerator for Enterprising Women.
