Becoming a successful businesswoman comes with many responsibilities: HR, investors, and building clientele to name a few. On top of these many plates we must spin, there will come people-- all kinds of people who will want to pull on you in every direction, which in turn become distractions you can't afford.
Many people will have great ideas to present to you. The more you become successful, the more people will want to be around you, connect with you and even advise you.
BEFORE you get there, there are a couple things you'll want to have outlined to navigate successful on your path in purpose:
1| Who will you have as advisors?
Choosing advisors is a process you don’t want to take lightly. The role of an advisor is to give advice on the path of your destination = purpose. Therefore, the best advisors are people who are on a higher level than you.
2| Have clear focus for the vision the universe has given you!
Deviating off the path can be more frustrating and extremely time wasting. Choose wisely what you pour your energy into. They’ll want to sink into your pockets and convince you about things you don’t need to grow your business at this point.
3| Get familiar with using the word no.
Guilt-free. No is going to save you a lot of headache and trouble in the long run. Remember, it’s their job to sell you stuff. Most sales people don’t want to build a relationship, they want to meet their quota.
