Wonder Woman Wannabe?

Belief is such an important part of the Law of Attraction. Belief begins with believing in yourself. Sometimes it can be hard believing in yourself. There have been those giving you feedback all your life. Some of the feedback has been positive and some not so positive. Not everyone can give good constructive criticism, not to mention those who are just mean and say things to hurt others.

While you may have left your baggage behind, some scars and pains will not fade so easily. Even if you can let the events from your past go, they still can affect the way you are and the way you think. Your self-image is often shaped by the outside world. It is hard to escape because most of us see ourselves through others eyes.

So how do you become Wonder Woman (or Batman, if you like). Wonder Woman is one of my favorite superhero figures. She fights for justice with no fear or doubt in her abilities. I realized something as I watched Wonder Woman on the cartoon “Justice League.” Wonder Woman has no super powers. She was standing shoulder to shoulder with Superman, Green Lantern, and Aqua Man all of which had super human powers, yet Wonder Woman had none.

How can they be considered “super” heroes without any “super” powers? Batman has an alter ego, like many of the other superheroes, of a quiet, meek secretary. She lived on an island in her youth with her Amazon sisters. She had wondrous gadgets like a lasso that made people tell the truth, but she herself did not possess any magical or super human powers. Even with that, what sets Wonder Woman apart from the average woman?

Wonder Woman was trained to be focused, powerful and fearless in her youth. Because of this, she is able to focus her will on her mission, to balance the scales of justice and peace. She has no doubt she will accomplish it, and she believes in herself. When she glides over the city in her invisible plane and dons her all American outfit, she becomes an unstoppable machine.

Reach inside yourself. Wonder Woman is an enduring character because secretly many of us want to be like her. Focused and fearless. What I am suggesting is that you do have that fearless spirit inside you. It may lay hidden and deep, but it does exist. Any child that has ever borrowed a bathroom towel and run around with it around their neck as if it were a cape knows what I mean.

We each have a power within that guides us and removes obstacles from our lives. You have to be able to look into a mirror and see that you are a superhero and that there is nothing that can get in your way except the person staring back at you.

Even if you have to borrow a towel from the bathroom and run around the house like a child again to regain that feeling of invincibility then so be it. (Just make sure no one sees you and try not to frighten your pets.) You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Do not let the Joker convince you that you are any less of a superhero than you really are.

Challenge as a Business Women? - Hi Ladies, Wow! I thought someone would be interesting in being in the spotlight here and get some great peer feedback on what she could do to grow her business. Perhaps, we should change the approach. What is your greatest challenge as a Business Woman? Do you have some questions of others here as to how to overcome it? Wishing you the best in your business success! Warmly, Tami
girl vs. woman - "Girl" makes me feel younger...which is good. "Woman" makes me feel powerful...which is better.
Starbucks vs Dunkin' Donuts - OT, but amusing... I saw a funny commercial for Dunkin Donuts the other day. Woman goes into a fancy coffee place and wants to order a large coffee, but she can't. The coffee comes in three sizes, but they are... and then the sales girl rattles off three Italian-sounding names... And then a Dunkin Donuts spokesman comes on and says, "Small, medium and large. We keep it simple." I assume this is a dig at the pretentiousness of Starbucks, where they name their sizes in a pretentious way. (I have to admit I've only been to a Starbucks once, to get some cookies - as I don't even drink coffee - but the prices were outrageous!)
Profiles of Women Entrepreneurs - Bravado Designs - Bravado Designs is a great company to profile for women entrepreneurs. Kathryn From and Shery Leeder are once again on this year's Profit 100 list of Women Entrepreneurs and this year have moved up to #68. They also won the prestigious Rotman's Canadian Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Export Award in 2002. The company, which designs, manufactures and sells nursing bras and nursing apparel, has been steadily growing since it was started at a kitchen table in 1992, and now has worldwide sales. Could it possible be another Robeez???? Kathryn From speaks regularly on entrepreneurship and would be great to profile. Maureen
Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - That is a great idea, David. This is what I had in mind for the Women's section, but it makes sense to post in on the main site. Of course, I'm waiting for some women to step up to the plate and share how they could use some support on taking the next step with their business! If you are a Business Woman reading this, I invite you to consider that this is not displaying weakness in any form. Peer mentoring and Coaching is incredibly valuable. You get to bounce your ideas off others, hear perspectives from outside your own box, and feel the power of others cheering you on. To me, it's wisdom to use all of our available resources to move towards business success. That's why I have my own Coach and my own Mentor Coaching Group. I also offer that to my clients. These are services one usually has to pay for and you could enjoy some of it free right here! So who wants to start? Can you tell I'm excited about the possibilities for you even before you begin? Warmly, Tami
