Game-Changing Advice from Women at the Top

Do you ever question your ability to get what you want in life? Do you have goals, but are you too afraid to try and reach them? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us tend to get bogged down in the weight of expectation and self-doubt. It can be tough to be fearless, especially if you feel like you’re swimming against the tide, but dreams can come true. If you want to be braver or more confident, this infographic contains some game-changing advice from women who have successfully navigated their way to the top.

If you have a target, what is holding you back? In many cases, we contribute to our own downfall and a lack of confidence stops us in our tracks. We may blame other factors or other people, but essentially, we’re responsible for our own destiny. As Jess Ennis-Hill, a British Olympic gold medallist, says, “The only one who can tell you you can’t win is you, and you don’t have to listen.” Play to your strengths, adopt a positive mindset and focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t.

If rejection has made you question your worth or your ability, learn to turn negatives into positives. Nobody achieves success without experiencing failure. J K Rowling, one of the world’s most high-profile authors, advises that “it is impossible to live without failing at something.” Even the most successful people experience setbacks along the way. Get up, dust yourself off, and keep going until you get what you want.
