TYPES OF TRAPS
1. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙕𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙤𝙣 - We all find solace in the familiar. But, it's the new challenges that push us beyond our limits and accelerate growth. Be the butterfly, not the caterpillar!
2. 𝙄𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙄𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 - Who you know is often as important as what you know. Don't sail solo. Build bridges of professional relationships because your network is your net worth.
3. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙁𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙡𝙡 - Ignoring constructive criticism is like rejecting the roadmap to your destination. Embrace feedback, it's your compass to improvement.
4. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙃𝙪𝙧𝙙𝙡𝙚 - As women, we often shy away from the spotlight. But your accomplishments deserve a stage. Amplify your achievements, let the world hear your victory song.
5. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙋𝙝𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙖 - Failure isn't a monster under your bed; it's the stepping stone to success. Welcome it, each failure is just one lesson closer to your goal.
6. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙨 - Doubt is the dream killer. Believe in your abilities, you are far more capable than you think.
HOW TO OVERCOME
Strategic networking. Put yourself out there!
Advocate for yourself.
Say NO often.
Seek out coaches & mentors.
Embrace imperfection!
