4 Things Successful Women Have In Common

Being successful in business and life can be challenging for anyone, especially if you have financial and time restraints. For women, things can often be even more difficult if they are moms or running a household on their own. But, that’s not to say there aren’t any women out there putting the pedal to the metal. If you look, you will find them. Furthermore, you can be one! Keep in mind, there are some things successful women have in common. See how many you have…or how many you can have!

Things Successful Women Have in Common #1: Fear Doesn’t Stop Them

Being a successful businesswoman, or attempting to climb the career ladder, can be scary paths. The process itself is tough, but additional obstacles show up once you get to the top. As a woman, you may face discrimination from people higher up who think you don’t have what it takes to succeed in a man’s world. Successful women don’t buckle under this pressure, they usually prove them wrong.

Savvy, wise women act on their instinct to survive and thrive. They do what it takes to meet their goals, no matter what anyone thinks or says. They are disciplined to stay confident. Ultimately, this earns them respect and the positions they desire.

Things Successful Women Have in Common #2: A Clear Path to Their Goals

Success isn’t an accident, it’s earned by following a clear path to your primary goals. This is something a lot of us forget to do! It’s not enough to just set goals either. There is a need to have obtainable smaller goals or steps in order to stay on track. It’s also pushing through obstacles and taking steps to improve your process along the way. 

When you create a clear path, it’s much easier to understand what you’re doing that works and what doesn’t. Goal apps like Taskheat can help you create a custom path by breaking things down into doable tasks that link to a final goal. 

Things Successful Women Have in Common #3: They Have a Realistic Outlook

Finally, successful women have a realistic perspective on things. Yes, they want to be successful, but they know that it won’t come easily. Too many young women assume that success is claimed with minimal effort and investment. In reality, it can take years and a chunk of money before you reach the level of success you want. This one goes hand-in-hand with #2 because it’s imperative to know where you’re going and how you will reach your final goal

Things Successful Women Have in Common #4: They Make Mistakes

Of course, they are many other things that we must do to be successful. The important thing is to do something. Even if you make mistakes, you will have tried and, likely, succeeded at some of your plans. Success is also subjective. It’s your baby…it’s your plan to create. And no one can tell you what it looks like. One thing I like to do is to decide what I want and what serves me and my life as a goal. This way I’m not relying on someone else’s picture of success.



About Kellie R. Stone

"I make no excuses for my diverse roles as a Rock Your Feminine Type Coach™ and Branding Expert, best-selling author, and crime thriller novelist. Yes, I do still chuckle a bit at the irony. I kick ass as a women’s biz coach by day and kill off vulnerable fiction characters at night. What the hell, it makes for some interesting dreams. I believe that everyone should pursue their passions no matter how out there they seem to be. One of those pure heart-fluttering passions for me has always been writing. Since I did, indeed, chase my dream of being a writer, I've published two non-fiction books in the self-development genre, co-authored an international best seller, and now I'm finally pushing my much-too-old-to-be-in-the-nest novel out the door and into the world. My whole world is empowering and I adore showing others how to live life unfiltered, whether I do that through the written word or my coaching work. I love my job!" ~Kellie R. Stone
