Successful business women (and what it takes)

Success comes through hard work, determination and re-direction of your energy towards what is really important.  Too often people focus on "busy work" rather than "results directed" work.  Which category do you fall into?  Don't worry, we're all tempted at times to fall into the busy work category.

Successful business women have some characteristics in common.  They have:

1) Effective Research Skills.  Successful business women research opportunities widely and find out what other successful business women have done to achieve their success.

2) High level organisation skills.  To succeed in business, it helps if you are highly organised. 

3) High levels of attention to priorities and time management.  Let's face it, we're all juggling multiple demands. In the midst of our demanding schedules it can be tempting to let some things "slide".  By prioritising effectively, you can learn to distinguish what is really important from other less important tasks.

4) Effective business networks.  To build and sustain a strong business, you need to network effectively.  Successful business women have a wide range of business networks and constantly seek new opportunities for networking.

5) A business mentor.  A mentor is some who you admire that can provide a great sounding board for your ideas and provide you with the guidance that you need to succeed.

6) Confidence and assertiveness.  Successful business women are confident and know what they want.  They aren't afraid to ask for it.

7) Exceptional personal presentation skills.  A successful business woman has presence and owns the room when she walks into it.
