The Benefits of Female Connections are Endless

As women, we often feel like we’re in competition with each other. We compare ourselves to each other, wondering who has the better job, the better wardrobe, the better life. But the truth is, when we support and connect with each other, we all benefit.

 

First and foremost, let’s talk about the importance of female friendships. We’ve all heard the saying “women are each other’s worst enemies,” but that doesn’t have to be the case. Female friendships can be some of the most supportive and uplifting relationships we have. When we have friends who understand and empathize with our experiences as women, it can be incredibly empowering.

 

But it’s not just about feeling good. Female friendships can also have a tangible impact on our mental health. Studies have shown that women with strong social connections are less likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. They also have a lower risk of developing chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. So not only do our friendships make us feel better in the moment, they can also have long-term benefits for our overall health and well-being.

 

Now let’s talk about the business benefits of women connecting with each other. In the professional world, it can be easy to feel like you’re on your own. But when women come together and support each other, amazing things can happen.

 

“When women come together and support each other, amazing things can happen. ” Rochelle 

 

One way women can support each other in business is through mentorship. When we take the time to mentor other women, we not only help them grow in their careers, but we also benefit from the exchange of ideas and experiences. Mentorship can be formal, through a program at work, or it can be as simple as offering guidance and support to a colleague or peer.

 

Networking is another way that women can connect and support each other in business. When we build relationships with other women in our industry, we create a network of support and resources that can be invaluable. Not only can we help each other find job opportunities and advance in our careers, but we can also learn from each other and share knowledge and expertise.

 

But it’s not just about advancing our own careers. When women come together and support each other in business, it can have a positive impact on the entire industry. Studies have shown that companies with a diverse workforce, including women in leadership positions, perform better financially. So not only are we helping ourselves and each other, we’re also helping our companies and our industry as a whole.

 

So how can we start connecting with and supporting other women in business? One way is to join professional organizations or networking groups specifically for women. These groups provide opportunities to connect with other women in your industry and can be a great source of support and resources.

 

Another way is to simply reach out to other women in your industry and offer your support. This can be as simple as sending a LinkedIn message or inviting someone to coffee to chat about their career and experiences.

 

It’s also important to remember that connecting with and supporting other women doesn’t have to be limited to our professional lives. We can also connect and support each other in our personal lives, whether it’s through a book club, a mom’s group, or simply getting together for a girls’ night out.

 

So let’s make a commitment to supporting and connecting with each other as women. Whether it’s in our personal or professional lives, the benefits of female friendships and connections are endless. When we come together and lift each other up, we all succeed.

        18 Inspirational Quotes For Work At Home Moms

        18 Inspirational Quotes For Work At Home Moms

        18 Inspirational Quotes For Work At Home Mums

        Hey there lady boss …

        It has been said that it takes 21 days of consistent action to change a behaviour or create a new habit.

        Often times we want something different but old tapes continue to play in our head that keeps us from reaching our goals and dreams as successful work at home mums.

        This can range from trying to drop 10 lbs to getting the courage to start your work at home business.

        The truth is … going from mummy to entrepreneur can be a little scary.  actually … it can be a LOT scary!!

         

        However one of the ways to reduce fear and increase success is to lean on the wisdom and experience of others who have been successful in life.

        Some may be famous and others not.

         

        Nevertheless, their wisdom if you choose to listen, can help you create a paradigm shift in thinking which is the foundation to massive success in any work at home business.

        I have always loved to listen to the champions that have gone before and I just love reading inspirations quotes to get me fired up and put my mindset in the right place to crush it on my business.

         

        So I wanted to share some with you here …

         

        Here are 21 inspirational quotes just for you mumpreneurs that I have thought about often and used to inspire me to go from “just being mum” to crushing it online as a super successful mumpreneur … and it can do the same for you.

         

        Once in a while, it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to. —Alan Keightley

        Were you told to go to school and get a good job?

        I was. While I know my mum meant well and thought she was preparing me to be able to have access to the pearly gates of success she could not know how things would change.

        However, I knew that I wanted more? How about you? Remember, you don’t have to settle for 60 hour work weeks, 30-minute commutes, your kids in daycare or relocating for the promise of success advancement. You don’t have to be part of the grind, the rat race.

         

        You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. — Mike Murdock

        Are you afraid to get started? It may seem overwhelming but if you focus on simple daily actions, the big goals take care of themselves.

         

        No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals —. Brian Tracy

        Get help right out the gate. Find a mentor, coach, mastermind or become a part a community that will help to support you in your success.

        You want to become a life long learner. Attend seminars and boot camps in your specialized area knowledge. When you learn from people who have been successful and you model their activities you will get their results.

         

        By stretching yourself beyond your perceived level of confidence you accelerate your development of competence. — Michael J. Gelb

        The only way to gain confidence in a certain area is to take action. It is in the action you will start to have small victories which will increase your level of success as a work at home mom.

         

        If you don’t program yourself, life will program you! —Les Brown

        Don’t let other people make the decision for your life. Have no retirement plan? You don’t want the government to be your strategy. Remember, it’s your life and it’s now or never.

         

        There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them. —Denis Waitley

        No matter what your current conditions are, you have the opportunity to change them. However, this can only happen if you take total responsibility for the direction of your life as a work at home mum. If you don’t like where you are, forgive yourself and focus on solutions. Don’t focus on problems or why you think something can’t happen. Start to ask powerful questions the answers will start to appear.

         

        A different world cannot be built by indifferent people. —Peter Marshall

        You can’t have what you want in life by being indifferent. Successful mumpreneurs are passionate and sometimes radical in pursuit of their dreams. Don’t allow yourself to be in environments that discourage you.

         

        What is it that you like doing? If you don’t like it, get out of it, because you’ll be lousy at it. You don’t have to stay with a job for the rest of your life, because if you don’t like it you’ll never be successful in it. —Lee Iacocca

        Why would you ever spend most of your waking hours doing something that you don’t like? The key to success is finding something you love to and set the standard for excellence.

         

        Simply making consistent investments in our self-education and knowledge banks pays major dividends throughout our lives. — Jim Rohn

        The self-education I have pursued in my 30’s has been my greatest return on investment. There is something to be said when you develop skills that you know will support you in any economy. Specialised knowledge applied with all-out massive results will yield hefty financial and emotional rewards.

        If you have not discovered your life’s purpose don’t be hard on yourself. Start to ask yourself questions and enter into a discovery process.

        Allow yourself to dream without concerns about how you will get it done. Every time you think you have found the answer dig a little deeper with more questions.

        Rarely are your true goals, purpose and desires on the surface of your soul. Often times they have been put away for safekeeping to protect yourself from disappointment.

        Keep discovering new things until your purpose is crystal clear.

        What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people’s lives. —Oprah Winfrey

        When you get the money out of the way your world expands even greater.

        Oprah exemplifies this principle. She now looks for ways to help others in everything she does.

        Whether it is giving more support to your family or contributing to a worthy cause, having freedom as a work from home mumpreneurs will allow you to make your mark in the world.

         

        The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do. — Booker T. Washington

        So what can you create and add value to the world?

        I love this quote because it demonstrates very clearly that what matters, are results at the end of the day. Don’t get caught up in theories. Make sure you are constantly taking action that moves you towards a specific goal.

         

        There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. — John F. Kennedy

        Are you so afraid to fail that you just can’t get out of the box?

        Don’t be. Many people have “failed” their way to million dollar empires. It is better to do something and be wrong than to do nothing at all.

        When you choose to do nothing someone else usually makes a decision that impacts you and you ending up doing something you don’t want to do.

         

        I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want. –George Bernard Shaw

        There is no such thing as luck. You create the luck by working and preparing for the opportunity. When you start to put yourself out there the universe gives back. Make sure you are clear of your intentions and then go and make it happen.

         

        It’s not the hours you put in your work that counts, it’s the work you put in your hours. — Sam Ewing

        You have the same 24 hours in the day as Bills Gate and Oprah. Don’t sabotage yourself by saying, “Well they can do it because they’re rich.” Unless you inherit wealth there is a price that everyone has to pay. You don’t have to work all day … However, you must consistently put time in if you want success.

         

        You must do the thing you think you cannot do. — Eleanor Roosevelt.

        One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to do something you think you can not do. It doesn’t have to be something huge. A simple action of courage goes a long in adding to your confidence in every area of your life.

         

        You will never leave where you are until you decide where you’d rather be. — Dexter Yager

        Until you know your purpose you will be at risk for staying in a situation and life that slowly eats away at you. Why? You simply don’t have a strong enough goal to change it. When the goal is strong enough you will search to find the answers.

        Is Comparison Fatigue a Real Thing?

        Is Comparison Fatigue a Real Thing?

        Is Comparison Fatigue a Real Thing?

        “What is holding you back?”

        While talking to one of my clients in a business consultation I asked her “What was the one thing that had been holding her back from moving forward with her business?  What had she been spending all her time on?” Her response was “I was spending all my time on my competitors websites and social media,  comparing myself and my business to theirs”

        The client had been going back and forth with business ideas, branding, and business names for a very long time.  She wanted everything to be perfect and this had stopped her moving forward.

        Sometimes this is what we call research… but if it is stopping us moving forward and progressing with our own life or business it is in fact called COMPARISON.

         

        What is Comparison Fatigue?

         Because social media is such a large part of most people’s live these days, comparison fatigue is a real thing.  Comparison fatigue is when we feel inadequate because we don’t meet the standards of another person’s life.

        Comparison often brings on feelings of sadness, anxiety or even anger, based on how you don’t ‘match up’ to where others appear to be in their life.

         Have you ever thought or said any of these things?

        • I Don’t look like her
        • My family isn’t perfect like hers
        • I’m not organised like her
        • My house doesn’t look like hers
        • I don’t drive a car like hers
        • Her hair is perfect
        • She’s got it so together
        • I’m not earning as much as her
        • My business does not look like hers
        • I’m not as thin as her

         …. And I’m sure there are more that you could add to this list.

         If you have ever thought or said any of these things you may be suffering from Comparison Fatigue.

         Comparing ourselves to others is draining, it eats away at you determination and your self worth.

         What is the Solution to Comparison Fatigue?

         

        How to Deal With Comparison Fatigue?

         “We should spend less time comparing ourselves to others, and more time working on things that make us happy in our daily lives.” Brianna Wiest

        There are a number of things we can do to stop the comparison fatigue and I’ll list them below.

        Ideas to try:

        • Turn off social media notifications
        • Limit time on social media
        • Unsubscribe from people who make you feel inferior or compare yourself
        • Focus on your goals
        • Say to yourself ‘I am incomparable to anyone else’
        • Make real connections with real people
        • Put your phone down, have phone free time for set periods each day
        • Stop the social media scroll
        • Read Inspirational Articles such as our 18 Inspirational Quotes for Work at Home Moms
        • Stop and think why are these things triggering me?
        • Why do I want to be like them? (when I am unique and special)

        The main thing I want you to remember is that you are you are unique, no one else can be you.  This applies to your looks, your abilities, your business and your personality. Don’t try and be someone else, people will love you for who you are, you are uniquely created and there is no one just like you.

        … you are uniquely created and there is no one just like you.

        Moving Forward…

        In a podcast interview with Jenna Kutcher on the Goaldigger Podcast, Arielle Estoria discussed how she deals with comparison fatigue..

        “… begin to coach your inner dialog and rethink how you see yourself.  I am an individual. It really doesn’t matter if anyone else is doing what I want to do.  Because at the core, how I’m going to do it and execute it, Isn’t going to be like anything anyone else would do.”

         Embrace your individuality, this is what sets you apart from ‘others’.

         Comparison Fatigue is a real thing and I think we are all guilty of it, so please do take the time to address the issue and perhaps set your own boundaries around comparison issues you may have.

         We all only have 24 hours in a day, your time is valuable and important spend it on chasing your dreams and goals and spending time making real human connections.
