I recently spoke to a group of wonderful, successful women in business. I wanted to talk about what keeps us back from really having it all and...it seems to be us!
It seems that many women have difficulty believing in ourselves! We have a fear of going after something we want because we are not traditionally brought up to be risk-takers. Our focus tends to steer us toward why we can't do something, we focus on what might go wrong and we put our dreams aside for others.
I say, why can't we have it all? We are strong, we have the God-given ability to multi-task and we have the intelligence and what it takes to get things done! What we need to do is to find the support system that exists where we can go to problem-solve, to mentor one another, to encourage risk-taking and to promote ourselves! I believe that women have traditionally felt guilty when trying to establish themselves as entrepreneurs, we want to be "liked" which, sometimes, does not go hand-in-hand with success, sometimes tough choices need to be made, priorities need to be set and one of those priortities needs to be us!
Come on ladies-take a risk and build your dreams, you can do it and I can help support your journey-just ask!
