women. who. wow.
There's no more fitting way to kick off this HIGHLIGHTING of women who wow than profiling MY mom. She is wise, determined, caring, genuine (always), tough (when she has to be), and the best woman I know. Let's learn from HER… my ORIGINAL example of a woman who WOWS:
What ONE THING do you think gives a woman the "WOW" factor?
Confidence in herself as a person and a woman. You can't fake confidence, and you can't underestimate its impact in your life.
What female celebrities do you think we could learn from – and what ONE sentence lesson do they teach us?
My mom says she's not that "IN" to celebrities… but I know she loves the celebrity smut mags as much as I do!! =) Here's her answer:
JENNIFER ANISTON – Dont publicly retaliate – the world will be kinder to you. Show Grace and Class in even the worst situations! OPRAH – Always be yourself – listen and then you will be heard! MY DAUGHTER – (My # 1 fan will always believe I'm a celebrity! lol…. ) Tenacity is a gift..think BIG and keep moving forward! My Mom also taught me to always ask "WHY?" and challenge assumptions, so I'm not surprised she broke the rules and included a man we can learn from! PRINCE WILLIAM – Learn from mistakes of those around you…live your life as you see fit..whether in the spot light or not!
What is the most important lesson you learned from YOUR Mom?
To enjoy life…dance when you can and even sometimes when you can't! (I was named after my Mom's Mom, and have heard a lot about her even though she died before I was born. I hear she was a rockin' woman… if nothing else, always FUN!)
If women could instantly emulate ONE trait, habit or skill set that YOU possess, which trait, habit or skill set should it be?
Enthusiasm to live life to the fullest! (LOVE thIS! Don't try to sit on the couch and do nothing around my Mom. You can do that when you're dead. There's always a bike ride, walk, or some fun game to be played!)
What ONE success tip or strategy can you leave us with?
Believe in your business and others will too. (Short, sweet, simple. But dead -on. That's my Momma!)
