I had a wonderful conversation with a woman entrepreneur this morning in Abidjan following our Lioness Lean In event, and I thought I would share my reflections on it with you all. We were talking about how to deal with the challenges we face in business, and this remarkable woman entrepreneur said, “there is only one way - keep looking forward. Don’t look back at the problems you are facing. Don’t listen to those people around you who doubt you. Don’t reflect on your disappointments. Just keep looking forward”. I loved this woman entrepreneur’s attitude to life and business. She passionately believes that by focusing on her goals, by staying positive, by removing any negative influences, everything can be figured out. There are always challenges in life as an entrepreneur, but by looking forward and harnessing your drive to get things done, you will succeed at anything. So, eyes forward Lionesses!
