What three “gifts” would you give a 20-something if you were a “Forty-Godmother”? 40-something women share three things to help a 20-something get a head start on the confidence to make decisions that are right for themselves. No more woulda, coulda, shoulda.
1. Don’t be held back by invisible boundaries. Think… why not me instead of thinking I’m not supposed to to that. Think big.
2. Share your successes and the successes of others. The more noise there is about women doing great things, the better. And this helps you build a community of support too.
3. Don’t get caught up worrying about what other people think. You can imagine the worst when most of the time it is anything but. Their lives and worries are much bigger than what they are thinking about you. Focus on what you think and keep moving toward your goals.
