The Secrets to Happiness That Successful Women Know

jaque-922636-m

  • We follow our passion – I’ve often said, follow your passion and the money will follow.  Whether you leave a high-paying corporate job to start a small gourmet cookie company or are a teacher in an inner-city, if you’re doing what you love, you’ll bound out of bed in the morning excited for the day and how you can make a difference. 
  • We’re mentors and mentees – Ask almost any woman who has a successful career and she will tell you that she had a mentor.  The opportunity to learn from someone who’s “been there and done that”  and be coached is invaluable in developing your soft and hard skills.  At the same time, paying it forward and becoming a mentee to someone creates a feeling of personal fulfillment.
  • We network   – I’ve found that networking for men and women is quite different.  Men seem to view it as a sport, never really connecting but rather trying to just accumulate as many connections as possible.  Women collaborate.  We find commonalities and ways in which we can mutually benefit.  We also encourage and learn.  Whether it’s true networking meetings or business groups such as the one I joined, women leave feeling inspired, jazzed and empowered.
  • We keep priorities in order – Every successful woman is multi-faceted.  She’s also a mom, spouse, daughter, friend and community member.  We are, undoubtedly, far better multi-taskers than men and, while that can often leave us stressed, it also enriches our lives.  We know that careers can come and go but spiritual and emotional bonds with friends, children, family and even ourselves, are the basis of who we are.  This keeps everything in perspective for us.
  • We acknowledge failure – The stories of “overnight successes” who failed at something at least 20 times prior are everywhere.  Successful women know that moving forward will require some mistakes along the way and without these missteps, we’d be frozen in place in fear.  Whether we’ve made a mistake on a client’s order, done business with someone who’s screwed us over or miscalculated the viability of our business model, we dust ourselves off and retool.   Women are usually their own worst critics but, once we learn to love ourselves and forgive ourselves, we find peace.
  • Share success and acknowledge others – It truly does take a village to not only raise a child but grow a business.  No one gets to the pinnacle of her success, whatever that is, without people helping us along the way.  Just as a sports team wins together, so does the successful woman.

Regardless of whether you’re an entrepreneur, volunteer or employee, if you’re not happy doing what you’re doing, you will never be truly successful.  GO FOR IT – whatever “it” is!  Life’s too short to not be happy.

About Alison Jacobson

I’ve faced a lot of tragedies in my life.

My first born died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome at 3 months old, my second son has intellectual disabilities, I was in a bad marriage and my divorce destroyed me financially. Then, I met a wonderful man and got married. But four weeks after our wedding, he was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and became confined to a powerchair.

Very quickly I became a caregiver as well as a newlywed. I had my three kids, my husband and my mother who lives with us depending on me. I was working, being a mom, a caregiver, a caring daughter and keeping the house running. It was overwhelming, exhausting and terrifying.

I also started to feel resentful because that didn’t leave me much time for me.

I ended up hitting rock bottom emotionally, financially and spiritually and I knew I needed to find a way out of it. Quitting wasn’t an option. Neither was hiding under the covers which I desperately wanted to do.

I needed to kick myself into gear somehow.

And so, I created my own boot camp. I practiced meditation, I immersed myself in lectures and reading from some of the leading experts on empowerment, spirituality and motivation. I consulted with physicians, nutritionists, therapists, spiritual leaders and fitness gurus to learn how to make myself stronger, fulfill my dreams and, in the process be a better mom, spouse, daughter, business owner and friend.

It took hard work, some setbacks, a dedication to reclaiming my life and a commitment to honoring who I knew I was meant to be.
