Helping women realise they are made of more and made FOR more. π Building @SORORedit. Tweeting about building confidence; networking, and self-promotion.
Diversity is an asset, not a liability.
As a female entrepreneur, I value diversity.
My work environment embraces all voices.
Different views, cultures, and identities unite us.
90% of consumers prefer brands that tell authentic stories.
Stories engage the audience, driving action and impact.
Storytelling isn't a mere luxury; it's an indispensable asset.
Craft your narrative.
Glass ceilings? Statistics reveal their fragility:
Women account for just 6.6% of Fortune 500 CEOs.
But we won't be confined.
With vision, passion, and action, we shatter ceilings.
Redefining success on our own terms.
Imposter syndrome traps us.
We're qualified, talented, and valuable.
No more imposters, we're experts.
Insiders making our mark.
Merit, not luck, got us here.
Authenticity is not a trend, but a trait.
It is not something you do, but something you are.
It is not something you fake, but something you feel.
It is the essence of who you are and what you offer.
It is the key to building trust, loyalty, and impact.
Entrepreneurship, like Picasso's art, is a journey of patience.
As an entrepreneur, you can't expect to earn $10k/month in just 30 days.
Being an entrepreneur takes confidence to be authentically you, just like Picasso did with his art.
Embrace the process.
Want entrepreneurial success? Get a mentor!
They're like superheroes:

Overcome challenges & risks
Achieve work-life balance
Make a positive impact
And watch revenue soar by 20% or more!
By building meaningful connections you make people believe that you care about them and are willing to offer help. Once you build that trust, generating income won't be an issue.
Many projects have ownership backwards.
Starting with financial ownership.
Then hoping people develop psychological ownership.
This won't work.
We need to reverse this equation.
Build affinity, attachment, community first.
Then let tokens supercharge the rest.
We set ourselves up for a low quality of life by confining to the superficial rules society has built for us but questioning what our potential holds can change the course of our lives.
A concept I believe, is that most people stay small, or don't go for what they truly want...because they believe that "imaginary rules" are true.
Here's an excerpt from my interview with @shaneparrish on what these are.
Break them.
βThe moment you catch yourself saying words that question your ability or path, correct it immediately. Do not allow yourself to be the first questioner of your own ambitions.β

The upcoming years are for people who value self-education and take matters into their own hands because they understand learning never stops and needs constant attention.
The worst professionals, are the ones that stop learning the moment they graduate from school.
And they are the majority.
Being autodidactic - a self-learner - who also takes initiative, will have you in the top 10% of anything you take on.
@tyromper You'll never find peace in hunting for a life that looks good to others. Instead, ask yourself what you want and what makes you happy to lead a life on your terms.
Building A business is boring.
You have to do the same tasks over and over again.
* Boring is what will build relationships.
* Boring is what will build your course.
* Boring is what will bring freedom.
* Boring will make you money.

Founders need to involve their community.
It's not about completely handing over product decisions.
Itβs about
1. Being transparent
2. Understanding community sentiment
3. Letting members feel they have an impact - even if small
Community is your superpower.
It is supposed to take longer in order to test your desires and the ability to breathe life into them.
Give yourself the time to outgrow the person you are today and let compounding do its magic.
Play the long game in life.
All the hacks, shortcuts, and 6 week programs have set you up for failure.
Instead:
- Focus on small daily actions
- Expect 12-18 months before results
- Celebrate small wins along the way
It WILL take longer.
But you WILL get there.
No one knows your capability better than you do, reach out for your dreams to find your true potential instead of limiting it to what people think of you.
It is easy to get lost in innumerable collaborations if you don't stop and analyze what matters to you, adds value to your life, and brings in the learning potential you desire of.
Overloaded by over-collaboration?
I used to think that more collaboration was better, but over-collaboration blew up my calendar and turned everything into "decision by committee."
Work slowed down
Stress piled up.
And I got burned out.
I love helping others, but the constant collaboration broke me.
Here are 5 ways I reclaimed my time (and you can too)
1/ Pick your battles
Don't: Collaborate on everything.
Instead: Prioritize where you get the most value from collaborating.
Only collaborate on the seriously important things that make a difference.
2/ Build the right partnerships
Don't: Over invest in collaborating with people you don't know well.
Instead: Start with building strong relationships with key people in your field.
The quality of your network matters. Prioritize cultivating partnerships within your field.
3/ Know when collaboration matters
Don't: Force collaboration until you reach consensus in every situation. Not every decision is equal.
Instead: Know the stakes and be willing to make your own decisions quickly.
Know when it's more important to reach a decision and move on. It's not always worth it to to spend hours (or days) getting everyone to agree.
4/ Consider Asynch Collaboration options
Don't Assume all collaboration needs to happen in meetings.
Instead: Use asynchronous collaboration tools so people have time to thing and analyze on their own.
Huge time savings when people can go at their own pace.
5/ Just say no
Don't: Feel guilty if you want to say no to collaboration sometimes.
Instead: Get comfortable advocating for yourself.
If you don't have the time or energy, just say no. Volunteer other ways to contribute. Share your analysis, contribute you suggestions, but opt out of the drama.
TL;DR;
1. Pick your battles
2. Build the right partnerships
3. Know when collaboration matters
4. Asynch Collaboration works
5. Just say no
