A Successful Woman

Successful women don’t have it all by accident. They consciously make choices that allow them to create a life they love. So what’s the secret? They prioritize the things that matter most. No matter how you define your priorities (kids, career, health, access to an all-night taco stand).

Before starting college, I thought success meant having a fancy title, a corner office, and a paycheck the size of Alaska. And because of that conditioned narrow view, it took years for me to discover that success, to me, meant freedom and breaking the chains that keep me down. The point is that until you know exactly what success means to you, you aren’t going to achieve it. Simply put, people who have it all aren’t running on autopilot. They are consciously choosing to invest their time, energy, and money on the things that help them to feel happy, fulfilled, and energized. Women who have it all don’t fill their calendars with meetings, errands and obligations to others, and then wonder where their time goes. They fill their time with the actions that help them to turn their dreams into reality. Instead of prioritizing their “To Do” List, successful women prioritize their goals.

Fact: Sometimes people are the worst. Women who have it all, own it all. They are willing to take ownership of every area of their lives. If something’s not working, they don’t blame others. Instead, they take responsibility. They accept what they think they deserve. Women who have it all know they deserve love, happiness, and respect.

It doesn’t take money or a team of 10 to have it all. All it takes is a few simple tweaks to ensure that you’re spending less time putting out fires and more time on what matters most.
