She Leads Confidently
Epi 28 ‘What’s Next’ in Your 2nd Act
What are you going to do next in your retirement?
Women, through the years, took jobs that fit with their skill sets and child care responsibilities. Many studied nursing, teaching, or more administrative positions. It was the sign of the times 30 plus years ago. Very few opportunities were available.
After spending the past 30-40 years in the workplace, this group of women are thinking of and preparing to retire. Move on to their What’s Next. Trying to decide for possibly the first time in their life what they want to do. Finally, able to follow their dreams. Lend a voice to their inner hero.
What to do next is the question. Start their own business? Travel the world? But will their retirement hold out? What better way to control their future than by starting their own business!
Join the discussion and let me know in the comments what you think. If you feel so moved, please leave a testimonial.

Resilience
Rise up, keep going, believe in you!
How often have you failed? And I mean fail in a significant way. How are they able to pick themselves up and keep going? What are the intangibles? Is it faith? Hope? Trust?
I believe some people believe, rather know, there are more extraordinary things awaiting them. Each time they fail means they are much closer to their goal.
When I first started as the CEO of Arizona ALFA, our first conference, I fell off the stage. In front of many people who I just met. Embarrassing? Yes. I had never been a leader of anything except my childhood dog.
I knew I must get up, keep going, so I did.
That bad embracing outcome gave me confidence, and as my mom used to say, ‘that which does kill us makes us better.’ Guess what? She was right.
There are going to be good times and bad times. Good outcomes and bad. It is 100% up to the person whether to view it as something that happens in life and keep going, or allow it to define them.
Choose YOU. Know you are here for a reason. Find Your Why and Find Your Blue Rose.

Other’s Opinion of You
Is really none of your business.
As human beings, people get way to caught up in what other people think about them. That holds them back from going after their dream of starting a business, losing weight, applying for that new position or job.
It makes people hesitate to go all in. They are always creating doubts and fears in their life. However, these are all hidden self-created fears. How, because they allow what someone tells them to be more truth than what they tell themselves.
When you listen to others’ opinions of you, what you are hearing is their beliefs. Their values. They are planning their life experience into your life. Where it does not belong now or ever, this is like giving your power to another person who has no business in your business.
When people give you a negative opinion, you need to ignore it. Walk away or worst case, thank them, bless it and then let it go. There are zero reasons to listen to anyone other than you.
Own your mind. Understand what and where your Shadow Beliefs are and let’s get them to heal.
