SUMMARY
I hope you have found the tips shared in
this report of value.
I’d like to encourage you to take 1-3
areas that have inspired you and create
your personal development plan to turn
that inspiration into action.
When creating your plan review what
you are currently doing and ask
yourself these five questions...
www.100voices.biz
110. Celebrating 100 Years Of International Women’s Day
Essential Guidance For Women In Business From Fellow Women In Business
• What do you need to stop?
• What do you need to start doing?
• What do you need to do more of?
• What do you need to do less of?
• Who can support you in making
these changes?
You might find it helpful to work with a
buddy or a business mentor to help you
make these changes. Or perhaps you
could establish your own network and
support group of fellow women in
business?
