one of the reasons why men appear to excel professionally and in business is because men generally think in concrete and specific terms.
Being Concrete and Specific Creates Goals that are Attainable.
Women, on the other hand, are more process-oriented. For example, I had a tendency to think and express myself in ambiguous terms and in feeling “tones”. My process-oriented capacity serves me well when creating an open space for brainstorming. However, process-oriented thinking can get me stuck when making a business decision.
Therefore, women entrepreneurs, ask yourself a couple of Key Questions:
1. Define “Everything”
2. Do you really want “Everything”? (You may want to identify within your definition what is a NEED versus a WANT)
Once I defined for myself what “everything” may include, I find that I sometimes can’t juggle and manage all the things that I already have. This is when I begin to clarify what is a “need” versus a “want”, and prioritize.
I’ve learned not to want everything, or at least, to think that I do want everything. I breathe easier, feel lighter, and attain more of what I want.
*I observe that the social conditioning of wanting “everything” by women may be paraphrased as, “I must be the Top Dog at Work, Mother of Year, Community Activist, have a Killer Bikini Bod, be a hairline shy of Enlightenment, and have poreless skin… and I must have it ALL RIGHT NOW.”
