Temi: My mom was a stay at home mom, but it wasn't until her and my dad got divorced that she became a fulltime entrepreneur. 

It made me feel that anything is possible, because I thought if she can do it, I can do it.

I decided to set up my own company when I was pregnant with our son. And I'd noticed over time that when I was working at home, it was just really nice to be able to get out of the house. 

There are obviously lots of co-working spaces but they tended to feel very large, very corporate, very impersonal.

So when I set up my co-working space for women, we knew we wanted it to be very different from other office environments.

Starting the co-working space definitely felt daunting. I was already running my own business. I have a small child.

But the way I tend to look at things, I'm like yes it might be a challenge, but imagine the rewards if everything works out well. 

I think it's really important to start paying attention to your money as soon as you can so that one day you don't find yourself in a position where you wish you had been paying attention. 

I started investing about a year ago. And I just started to think, "Why not just start now?" I did have grand goals in mind for being completely financially literate, but I started to realize that time might not necessarily come around any time soon, so I just thought, "Let me just start, so at least that way, I've gotten started."

I feel the biggest benefit with investing is that you're putting your money to work. Investing is in a sense giving your money a job to do. Your job is to grow, so please go and grow, and that's what investing is for me.

The best advice I've had comes from a Chinese proverb and it is: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
