Shattering
The Glass Ceiling
It's long been established that women are just
as qualified as men are to handle some of the toughest careers out there. But
there are just some successful women who seem to handle it all without breaking
a sweat. Here, learn how to shatter that glass ceiling with a stiletto as we
reveal seven habits of wildly successful women.
Power
lunch, anyone?
It
takes a very organized woman to handle a successful career and home life. Make
that PDA work for you so you don't miss a meeting or something really important,
like your daughter's dance recital. Be realistic about your schedule and never
commit to something unless you know you can be there. An emergency aside,
canceling or not showing up is irresponsible.
Work it
to success
Networking
is a fantastic way to get to know other professionals that could benefit from
your business or vice versa. People tend to do business with those that they
like and trust. Beyond your professional setting, always be on the lookout for
a potential new client, business prospect or other professional connection.
It's also a good idea to join a group of professionals in your industry. It's
amazing how much you can learn from others in your same field.
The
genuine article
You've
heard it before -- think outside the box. Being different shows creativity, and
businesses and consumers are constantly looking for a fresh approach. But this
is something you just can't fake. Be true to yourself in every situation, and
your passion will naturally shine through.
Financial
savvy
Be
smart about your money and be an active participant is how it is being spent,
saved or allocated, whether in your home or business life. Even if you have a
trusted advisor, make sure you keep tabs on your finances.
Give of
yourself
What
goes around comes around in every aspect of life. Be generous with your natural
gifts. Become a mentor. Donate to a cause you are passionate about. Future
employers love to see community efforts and volunteerism on a resume.
Blow
off steam
With
all this giving, it is easy to become depleted, so don't forget to give back to
yourself too! Take a little time each day to nourish your soul, whether you
take in a 5 a.m. boxing class or get your nails done after work. Consider these
things "meetings" in your schedule that should not be skipped or
cancelled. Your time with you is just as important as your time with everyone
else.
Balance
At the
end of the day, you have to consider what is most important in your life. When
you put those things, what ever they may be, on the top of your priority list,
everything else just falls into place. Sometimes all it takes is a little
perspective.
