DEFINE what success looks like personally. Set goals and monitor how you are doing. Take concrete actions to achieve them daily, monthly and yearly.
REMEMBER that your values are the foundations of life. Use them as your compass. My values are integrity, compassion and empathy.
TAKE complete responsibility for your life. Jim Rohn reminds us that you have to do your push-ups yourself.
EXCELLENCE should always be your mantra. It is one way to eliminate biases.
INVEST in yourself. Most successful people are voracious readers. Curious minds, and live a life of learning everyday.
COURAGE is key. When women take risks, they are usually well thought out. Do it even if you are afraid.
SEEK help early and expand your network
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE is key. Enjoy life, Have fun and be passionate. Keep your perspective even when you feel that things are not working out as they should.
FAIL FORWARD In fact, I have learnt what people consider a failure is usually a ‘a course correction’ in order to catapult you to greater success.
PAY IT FORWARD There is so much to do to make the world a better place. Your generosity and contribution to society should be your legacy.
