Although this book is geared toward women entrepreneurs, the advice is really tailored to anyone seeking to make a positive impact in the world. I only identify with one of the categories – female. I am not an entrepreneur. Nonetheless, here’s the best advice I found worth noting from the book.
Kernels of Wisdom for All
- Change your mindset to positive thoughts that drive toward success
- Connect with others on a raw, honest level
- Re-connect with your “why”
- Empower others to live their best lives
Keep it Real
- The world needs you – you are unique and no one can replicate your genius, your gifts, your strengths
- Authenticity is to be genuine with our own fingerprint in the world
- Being real is sexy
Fear and Failure
- Be fearless in your life and your career
- Fear happens – interrupt your fear with gratitude
- Failure is part of the journey toward success
- Failure happens – it is called “opportunity”
- Don’t get sucked into the world of mediocrity
Confidence and Empowerment
- Insecurity competes; confidence empowers
- Confidence is a muscle that needs a daily workout – do things scared
- True empowerment comes from your soul
- Embrace who you are and who you desire to become
- Focus on the positive and perseverance
