While I personally was upset with the outcome of our recent election, my unwaivering commitment to our great nation demands my respect and support for whomever is in the White House. Obama was not my choice, but he is now my President Elect, and deserves my respect. (and yours.) In last month’s issue of Pink magazine, Michelle Obama had something soooo RIGHT ON to 
say… She said, “Follow your heart and do what makes you happy. Don’t let other people push you into something that isn’t fundamentally you.”
I couldn’t agree more whole-heartedly with this one comment. Yet, women I speak to try continuously to do things that aren’t fundabmentally “them”. We build businesses in a way that we hope we don’t have to sustain, “when we make it”. We climbed corporate ladders (in heel, no less) in a way that we hope to “change” when we “get there”…
Authenticity is the key to your success. It is so rare, you will always stand out… always succeed… always persevere… when you are who you are. Period. Plus… you’ll have a lot more fun in the “journey”. 🙂
I would love to hear from you: What one area of your life could you infuse with more “authenticity”? Is it sales? Marketing? Networking? Relationships at work? Is it at home, maybe?
One area in my life that I need to infuse more “authenticity” is believing in “me”….I am a hard worker and determined to succeed. Although it doesn’t define who I am, it defines my work ethic and determination. I am so enjoying sitting here and reading all of your posts that I have gotten behind on.
