6 Things every business woman should know
“I’m a business, man” Jay-Z voice. Ok I know this post is about business women and I used the voice of a man. However take in what is being said and just how big that statement is. It speaks to anyone who has decided to make their passion, purpose or art form a career. You are your business; you are your product, merchandise and assets. Even if you are not yet up and running as a business full-time you owe it to yourself to invest, grow, promote and develop your business into an empire. If you treat your business like a “side hustle” two things may happen: 1) you will only been seen as others as a side hustle because that is how you see yourself. 2) You will only make side hustle money. Do not be a victim to your own ignorance, it’s grind season and time you discover how to get your empire state of mind on.
Stacia Pierce: #1 Ladies Millionaire Maker: Business secrets learned from watching Oprah
1. Successful people leave clues. “For every one of us that succeed, it’s because there’s somebody there to show you the way out.” You can never journey to a new place without a map. Successful people are checkpoints along the path to success. Oprah has always been candid about the advice she received from mentors like Maya Angelou, Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier. For those you admire, if you want their success, be smart enough to model their lives.
2. Reading is the real key to success. “Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.” Oprah learned early that reading opens the door to curiosity, passion and self-discovery. Oprah has shown that although she is the queen of all media, her favorite activity is getting lost in the pages of intriguing books. Inspired reading has the power to release anyone from the confines of ignorance, poverty and defeat.
3. Face Your Fears “Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.” Sometimes, you’re just going to have to go through what ever curve ball life throws you, what ever challenge you are facing…be courageous..Stand up and fight…You’ll make it out on the other side stronger and wiser than ever before.
“There’s no easy way out. If there were, I would have bought it. And believe me, it would be one of my favorite things!”
4. Trust Your Intuition “Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.” You don’t have to have psychic abilities when we are tuned into that still, small voice that is constantly trying to lead us..We always get better results. Trusting your gut is just good business practice…if it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
5. Excellence is necessary to win in life. “I believe the choice to be excellent begins with aligning your thoughts and words with the intention to require more from yourself.” Excellence is doing things right the first time. Your personal excellence will take you further than you could imagine. While you are building your business…take time to consider...Are you giving your absolute best?
6. To move out of your comfort zone you have to change the cast around you “Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.” You have to take the step out in order to go up. Learn to put your trust in those that have seen a higher life by aligning yourself with people that challenge you or even make you uncomfortable
