Redefining Success: A Journey from Within

Today, I want to share something that I'm deeply passionate about — the transformative journey of female entrepreneurship.?

For the most part, we as women entrepreneurs have changed incredibly over the last 10 years and even more so in the last 5 with how we approach our careers and how we want to be seen and heard in the workplace.? More women than ever, over 252 million globally, now have their own businesses in the USA alone, and this is no surprise, since women juggle so much, having the freedom to become their own boss and align with a business that matches their values and reaches the community they crave and brings financial flow, is a big attraction.

The transformation I have witnessed in the last 26 years supporting women is their belief in themselves to begin a business and commit to it, successfully, however one of the pitfalls I still see, is that many women entrepreneurs still shy away from the detailed financial aspects of really understanding their cashflow and where to put their attention to scale, plus, many still treat their business as a hobby and not so important as their partner’s career.

This has been a?great deal to do with women still connecting with imposter syndrome.

Overcoming the Imposter Within Us

Have you ever sat in a meeting, doubting whether you belong? Trust me, I've been there. It's that niggling feeling of 'am I enough?'.? Do I know enough? What if I speak up and it's completely incorrect?

• Imposter syndrome is the fear of being visible and successful.
• It is a resistance based on fear and comparing with others.
• Imposter syndrome is a monster.
• Being sure of who you are, the value you bring, the transformation you create, and the problems you solve will always guide you in the right direction to your success.
• There is no room for imposter syndrome when you have these keys in place. and not comparing yourself with others.? Have you looked at the value you bring lately at home and at work? Your unique skills and gifts are your contribution to being part of something bigger and also what fulfills you.

The Journey of Resilience

Life throws curveballs. And like you ad have had my share! But each time I felt like hiding under a rock, I found my way back to aligning with my purpose and getting back into my flow. Resilience isn’t about avoiding the falls; it's about the pace at which we can reset, pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and march forward with renewed strength. Practicing resilience is a fantastic way of getting to know yourself.

Self-reflection, observing why you react or get triggered in certain circumstances is one way of understanding your why’ and then how to avoid or better manage those reactions you have, or emotions that boil up rapidly and have you saying things you later regret. It is all about taking a breath before you respond to something that is niggling you, walking away, rethinking your response and then stepping into your leadership mindset of the business you are operating and running, what you have created, the values you stand up for and embodying those. Be graceful.?

Shifting your success model away from the masculine version of success??

We, as women, have navigated a male-dominated success culture for eons. Yet, our belief systems, our values, resonate differently. It is completely okay to Combine what you want to accomplish and achieve with feeling fulfilled and aligning with your authentic values and transforming our inherent barriers, now that's the recipe for genuine success. For me, it was never just about the milestones; it was about breaking free from my self-limiting beliefs, embracing the power within me, and discovering that my success wasn’t going to match a male version of success, and that was absolutely fine, as long as I felt fulfilled.

The Power of Self-Care

Mental well-being is not a luxury, it's a necessity. Remember, each one of us, at some point, faces challenges with our mental health. It's essential to recognize, to be authentic about our feelings, and to understand that taking steps towards self-care is a display of strength, not weakness. Through my work, I've realized the sheer number of us who feel isolated in our struggles. But remember, you're not alone. Embracing self-care leads to a sense of empowerment, allowing us to be the masters of our thoughts and actions.

As I venture into writing my new book and expanding my podcast, my focus remains on helping women continue to build on the amazing transformation they have stepped into, providing tools to harness the brilliance within, and reminding you that success is not just about achieving milestones but about the journey, the transformation, and the stories and impact we weave along the way along with the value that each of us brings in our businesses and also personally.
