Today I had a persona win, I presented to a group of amazing EA my story on how I left my Corporate EA job to start my VA practice and that in less than 2 years I scaled up to my OBM business.

It was my first webinar and boy, was I nervous. 😬

And like anything new that I try, I let myself sit in this new uncomfortable state and at the end of the hour, I took away a win with the engagement and feedback from the audience and realized once again that...

I can do hard things

Time for a nice reward...don't you think?

Share below - what have you done that was really hard, but you rode it out and at the end, you realized that it was not that hard after all 👇🏻

Has anyone ever heard of the 33% rule?

The idea was created by , TED speaker, Investor/Philanthropist (you can look up his TEDTalk to get more insight into it). But, the core of the talk was answering "Everyone wants the good life, but no everyone is willing to..."

As his talks continue, the nudged that strike me was when he mentioned that as we move in life we need a handful of people that will show us the way in order for us to "design" the life we envision for ourselves.

And he then mentioned his 33% rule, which states that...

33% of your time should be spent with mentors - people that challenge you and make you a bit uncomfortable

Challenge accepted. Thank you for nominating me !

While I'm honored to be tagged as a strong woman.

I think all of us in one way or another don't feel strong most days. Even though we slay each day like the that we are.

So why are women more likely to compare themselves to other people, downplay their success, and insist on perfection?

It all comes down to their core beliefs.

Strong women do things differently because they live by a different set of daily habits.

I'm sharing some of those habits that I have learned from all the strong women that I have in my life and continue to lift me up daily.

💪 Self-Worth Should Never Be Determined By Anyone Else’s Opinion - you and you alone determine how you feel about yourself.

💪 Your Strength Will Sometimes Be Viewed As Weakness - Your kindness, your emotions, and vulnerability are the strongest thing about you, don't let others tell you they are a weakness. Recognize that your strength will remind others of their own weaknesses.

💪 Don't let society dictate how you need to engage in the world - Recognized that you don't need to give in to the constant pressure to "be" the way the world wants you to be.

💪 There’s No Need To Shrink Yourself For Other People’s Comfort - Be comfortable in your skin and know that is NOT your job to avoid intimidating other people by playing it small

💪 Mental Strength Can Be Contagious - Your energy in creating the strongest version of yourself often inspired others to follow.
