Every successful person has barriers and challenges to overcome. Here are words of wisdom from 23 women who know what it takes.
What does success mean to you? When I ask new clients to talk to me about their definition of success, most are acutely aware that some measure of internal change is necessary to get them there. While they may not know the specifics of those shifts yet, they understand that, to be remarkable, barriers like fear and self-sabotage must be overcome. No one has ever said, “I just want to be good enough.”
Below are words of wisdom from twenty-three women, all contributing authors to the newly-released book Overcoming Mediocrity, who know what it takes to conquer these challenges and create a well balanced, happy, and successful life. I hope that some of them hit home for you as you strive to be the best you can be.
