A famous saying states that little girls with dreams become women with vision… And a woman with vision inevitably becomes a girl boss! Whether it is about leading your own business, running your own firm, being on top of your career field or just generally bossing it, if you’re thinking ”that’s me!” while reading this article, then hello girl boss!
- You use the power and beauty of your youth. This is not about looks – it’s about acknowledging that you have to start killing it when you’re young, because that’s when the world is your oyster!
- You’re not scared to make decisions on your own. Even though you might struggle here and there and seek advice, you prefer making the final decision yourself because you want your life and your future to be in your own hands. You are also confident enough to trust your guts, follow your instinct and know it will lead you exactly where you need to be!
- You always take criticism as constructive criticism and failure as a way to grow – you never allow your dreams to be crushed. When criticism is not constructive and does not serve any purpose, you shake it off easily instead of letting it linger in your mind. You know the moment doubt starts to insinuate itself it starts paralysing you, and you definitely don’t have time for that.
- You not only take criticism – you also criticise yourself! But you are never too hard on yourself. You evaluate your actions and learn from them, so next time you’ll know better. And you always trust that if a decision felt right, it was the best one you could have made at the time.
- You push yourself to your limits. Your vocabulary does not include the word lazy. It’s not ok for you to do well enough, you know you can always do better and that’s why you always strive towards more.
- If you see something you want, you go and grab it. You know opportunities are always around the corner and you would never let them slip away. The more, the better!
- …… But because you cherish your freedom, you also easily let go of whatever opportunity no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy. This might not always be easy, but because you’re a strong girl, you’re not afraid to do what’s best for you.
- In fact, you love your freedom and being independent so much that you don’t need anyone to depend on. You surely appreciate having someone beside you, family, friends, or a partner, but you’re not afraid to be alone for a while and you would never let anyone compromise your career. A girl boss does not have time for haters!
