"I have a saying – A woman must know herself as well as she knows her business. But she must know herself first. Success takes on different forms and is not determined by our station in life. Whether you are a mom, wife, employee, business owner, or even a combination of roles, you can still be successful. There are ups & downs with anything. It’s sticking with it and giving yourself room to grow (and change) that leads to success. " A word of wisdom from Khrys Vaughan... "Start replacing the word can’t with the words let or choose. Can’t can unintentionally turn into a crutch. ‘I can’t develop a business plan’ sounds different than ‘I choose not to develop a business plan’. One sounds agreeable, the other should make you cringe. If your ‘can’t statement’ makes you cringe, then take it as an indication that you should acknowledge your responsibility, and do something about it. " Thoughts on doing business in a man’s world... "Who says? There’s one world and we all have a unique place in it. Challenges do come up along the way and may very well be the result of someone’s ignorance, but you can either waste your time and energy trying to prove someone wrong, or use it to create your own opportunities. Yes there are differences, but like anything else, you can focus on differences so much that it paralyzes you. If it was such a man’s world, corporations would not be ‘enlightening’ its staff that there just may be something to female intuition and thought, and definitely would not be pouring dollars into understanding the female consumer in order to change marketing strategy.
