Every time I interview a 40-something woman for 40:20 Vision I ask them what three “gifts” would they give a 20-something if they were a “Forty-Godmother”. Herewith, there wishes to help you get a head start on perspective and gain confidence making decisions that are right for you.
1. Ask questions. Get curious at work and play. Get serious with your doctor and your bank/finances.
2. Know it’s never too late to change course or course correct. It took me 15 years to find my career niche. It was a journey and it was worth not rushing it.
3. Don’t be intimated by things you don’t understand. We tend to attack to do lists by the easy first and the hard last. Try breaking down the hard one’s in to chunks it becomes manageable.
