TODAY’S QUESTION: How can I prepare myself to be a businesswoman?
TODAY’S QUOTE: “Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.” – Sara Blakely
THINK BIG ANSWER: First, elevate your aspirations (or start to think bigger).
You should want to become a successful businesswoman, not just a businesswoman.
Second, start to read books authored by successful businesswomen (like Karen S. Lynch, Rosalind Brewer, Lisa Su, or Geisha Williams), to understand what obstacles they faced (and how they overcame them) as they ascended up the ladder of success in their respective careers.
Third, plan out how you’d like to navigate your own path to success in business (start with where you want your career to end, and work your way back to the beginning), leveraging your strengths (and identifying your weaknesses, so you can proactively begin the process of improving in the identified areas).
And finally, leave the preparation behind and become the successful businesswoman you are destined to be!
