Please List TWO “Business or Life Lessons” – (Or One of Each) – That You Have Learned Along The Way That Has Significantly Contributed To Your Personal and / or Professional Development and Success ???

 

Life Lesson :

 

One of the most important “Life” and Business lessons I’ve had to learn (the hard way) is to know your own value. The world will value you and your services to the extent that you value them. In your personal life, this is reflected in the way you allow others to treat you. Who do you surround yourself with ???  Do you allow room in your life for people who don’t treat you with kindness and respect ???  If so, it’s time to reflect on your self-worth and address your self-limiting behaviours and beliefs.

In your professional life, the easiest way to reinforce your value is by determining how much money your services / time are worth. This may sound impolite or taboo, but monetary value is an easy message for people to understand in a consumer driven society. If you give discounted rates, people will assume your services are worth less than they are. This can be a tempting trap for young professionals who are just beginning their career, or for those who really just want to help others through their line of work. There are many ways in which you can give back to your community and help others, but asking for less than you deserve in your line of work isn’t the way to do it because it gives mixed messages.

Unfortunately, I think it can be especially difficult for women to stand up for what they deserve because girls are often socialized to prioritize the needs of others above their own. So let me just leave you with this thought. You and your family’s needs are just as important as the needs of others. If your family is suffering because you’re allowing others to provide you with less than you deserve, there is something wrong with this picture. Let this thought give you the strength to say “No” when the world tries to give you less than you deserve.

 

Business Lesson :

 

The “Business” and Life lesson that I would like to share next is that your professional success is often proportionate to your personal success. My business grows whenever I invest time and effort into my own happiness and personal development. When you enhance your skills, your motivation, your beliefs, and your happiness, you attract better things into your life. You also attract more opportunities when you build professional relationships, and you’re more likely to build quality relationships when you are a happier and more well-rounded person.
