What makes one business woman more successful than another?
November 14, 2008 by Suzi Dafnis
I was having lunch with Naomi Simson of Red Balloon Days today. She’s charming and alive and we’ve been trying to get together for a long time to ‘chew the fat’ (or the salad as it turned out).
I was congratulating her on being one of only two women whose businesses appeared in the recent BRW Fast 100 and we got talking about why some women are able to build big businesses while most don’t.
We didn’t solve the question, but we’re on a mission to find out and to empower more women to cross the line when it comes to bigger profits and more success in business.
We DID agree that we’ve found two things in common to the successful women we know:
1. A love (No. A passion) for learning and education
2. Surrounding ourselves with people that expect more of us than we do
So, what so what is that you’re doing next to improve your skill as a business owner?
and,
Who are you surrounding yourself with. Is it powerful, positive people who are going places?
If not, then start a list. Describe the types of people you want to hang out with. Who are they? What are their values? Why would they want to hang out with you?
I am just starting my dream business and I am a very positive person with a passion for what it is I am doing. I am not able to quit my full time job yet and I get down and start to question myself. I have much support and know this is the right thing to do with all of me, but just need to know I am not alone. I googled this tonight, what makes a successful business women, and your article came up. No need to respond, just needed to write it out. Thanks.
