Inspiring Women – New Series!

It’s your time to fly!

As you may know, I have recently launched a new business to coach women to live the life of their dreams, and in order to inspire you, I want to share with you a series of inspiring women of all ages and in all walks of life who have walked the road before you and who have gone on this journey.

The aim of this series is to inspire young women to take a leap of faith and launch the career of their dreams and to motivate women in midlife to reinvent themselves and start living the life they always dreamed of.

Inspiring young women to launch in the career of their dreams

In this series I want to share inspirational, first-hand stories of young women who have launched a new business start-up or a career in the arts or in business.

The aim is to motivate young women to consider the widest range of future careers and to show them that anything is possible if you put your mind to achieving it.

Young people usually aspire to what “they know”, and will usually follow the path of what they see all around them and what they encounter in their daily life. And if you don’t know that something exists, you can’t possibly aspire to it!

If you can dream it, you can do it.

In this series, I want to show young women possibilities that they might not have previously envisioned.

I want to show them that their dream life, and an amazing future is available to them, regardless of their background and education, by showing them a wide range of role models doing interesting and exciting jobs in order to inspire and motivate them.

Inspiring women in midlife to reinvent themselves

At midlife, you have enough life experience to take stock of what is important, dismiss what isn’t, and become who you want to be.

ALAN D. CASTEL IN HIS BOOK “BETTER WITH AGE”:

We are now living longer than ever before, and people aged 55 to 64 are now the fastest growing group of new entrepreneurs!

The key reason most entrepreneurs in this age group give for starting a business is to pursue a passion.

Aging is scary but fascinating. And great talent morphs in strange and often enlightening ways

Bruce Springsteen in his memoirs ‘Born to run’

Reinvention is all about re-launching your life to make this next stage of your life fun, inspiring and motivating.

If you don’t want to launch a business, then it’s really important to find your purpose or your passion so that you have a reason to get up each day!

We are often more likely to seek work that has greater personal meaning or social impact at this stage of our lives, as it’s all about giving back and helping others.
