Week 1

Our Woman of the Week is: Susan B Anthony (February 15, 1820 – March 13, 1906)

Susan B Anthony was an American Human Rights Activists. In an era when women had no voice, she fought for the rights of women. In 1852 she along with a colleague founded the New York Women’s State Temperance Society, after she was prevented from speaking at a temperance conference because she was a woman.

Susan was a strong supporter for the abolition of slavery and campaigned for equal rights for people of color. She was a leading figure in the women’s voting rights movement. In 1872 she was arrested for voting in an election. She was convicted but refused to pay the fine. Sadly Susan died before women were allowed the right to vote.

The fight for the rights of women has been an uphill battle. Let us salute this iconic woman who helped to pave the way.

Empowerment

It’s all about Empowerment

“Ladies! I encourage you NOT to be so easily flattered by what a man has. Be flattered by his strength, courage, integrity, and character as a man. Be impressed by his ability to be honest, faithful, loving, and respectful to you. Be impressed because he can communicate and openly express his feelings. Be impressed because he’s got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed because he’s a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk!”

Be a Determined Woman

It is not always easy to make it as a woman but a determined woman knows she must never give up if she wishes to conquer and put to shame the stereotype, which tells her that she is not good enough.

Empowerment

“Women Empowerment Reminder of The Day. 
Always respect yourself as a woman. You attract what you are, so be very mindful of how you’re representing yourself. If you want respect, you must first learn how to respect yourself, first. Attracting negative attention is never a good thing. Be a woman of substance! Be a woman that both women and men respect, admire, and look up to. Don’t disrespect yourself by lowering your standards and accepting just anything that comes your way. It’s okay to be single! If you want a relationship of substance, you can’t keep entertaining people and things that mean you no good. Think about it! It’s all up to you.”

5 Secrets to a Happy Life

  1. Accept yourself for who you are and love yourself. You must learn to look in the mirror and love what you see, the image of who you are. Loving yourself is the first step towards happiness.
  2. Make peace with your past. Forgive those who need to be forgiven. Cut ties with those who cares nothing about your happiness. Surround yourself with positive, uplifting people who motivate and inspire you.
  3. Do not harbor bitterness or resentment in your heart towards anyone because in the end it will stifle your inner growth and peace of mind.
  4. Be kind to yourself. Pamper yourself every once in a while. Do something that makes you happy and make it all about you, you deserve it.
  5. Learn to say no. Remember that you are not here to save the world, so do not take on more than you can handle because you might not want to displease someone. You are never going to be able to please everyone or be everything for everyone. You must be able to say no and feel no guilt about doing so.

Never Make Haters Your Concern

5 Things Every Young Entrepreneur Should Know

 

  1. Not everyone is going to be in your corner. Not everyone is going to want to see you succeed and this is a reality of life. For you to expect otherwise is like expecting to see the sun shining every day. That is not going to happen.

 

  1. You have to take positive approach. You must believe in yourself and have a passion for whatever business you want to venture into. More importantly you have to believe in your ability to succeed.

 

  1. The success of anything you undertake requires the support of others. Success cannot happen in a vacuum. Without people supporting your business or organization you will ultimately fail. If you are in a client based business you will have to develop the skills to attract clients. If you are in a customer based business you must possess the ability to attract customers. For you to grow a business and be successful you need the support of others.

 

  1. Never make haters your concern. Those you do not wish to see you succeed should never be your concern because they are not going to add to your growth. For example if you have people who support you and 25 against you, (and usually the margin is not that close) don’t waste time worrying about that 25 instead focus on the 50. Concentrate on how you can build a strong relationship with that 50 and how you grow that figure to 100. Use that 25 as motivation to make you to work harder to succeed. You need to possess the ability to take something negative and use it to your advantage.

 

  1. Be prepared to experience setbacks. To grow a successful business it will not be all smooth sailing. However never develop a negative mindset and believe that these setbacks are due to those who want to see you fail. If you let these negative ideas grow and feed into these negativity you will not be able to see the mistakes you are making and correct them and you will fail because you did not believe enough in yourself and your abilities. No one can stop a person who is determined to succeed.

 

In conclusion your success will depend in parts on your ability to pull people in and get their support. Success requires building bridges rather than putting up walls and nurturing positivity instead of feeding negative ideas and beliefs.
