Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what 3 “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Here are one woman’s gifts:
1.
The ability to talk about money and finances with ease and élan…to your husband, boss, partner, friends, parents. Women need to become more transparent and comfortable talking about money.
2.
To know that if a friend, colleague, contact doesn’t call you / email you back it’s not because anything you did. We tend to create reasons in our head as to why we failed somehow when it’s just a matter busy lives.
3.
The ability to forgive and put the past behind you so it doesn’t hold you back from your future. It’s over.
