Success is not a goal to be accomplished, nor a station in life. Rather, success is a deep and abiding appreciation for the opportunity to be of service.

Life success is a journey. Staying on the journey or mission is key. That journey is marked not by awards and promotions – but by relationships.

We are not what the odds say we are. We are what we believe we are. Some people expect nothing from you, but your champions expect everything from you. Surround yourself with people who believe in you, expect the best of you, and will give you the gift of honest feedback. Return the favor by giving your all in everything you do.

MarcyFord

Life is work, but work is not life…And, while I think it is possible to “have it all”, that does not mean it will be easy or happen without sacrifice. Deciding what sacrifices are acceptable is more of an art than a science. Learn from and forgive your mistakes in making your own masterpiece.

LindaForte

I believe that developing new relationships and cultivating your long term relationships are critical to career success and fulfillment. Remember “RIT”; Relationships before Issues and Tasks. If relationships are managed authentically and well, all issues and tasks before you are facilitated.

Power comes from perseverance; by not accepting ‘no” for an answer, nor allowing obstacles to stand in your way. Learn to listen to the inner voice of God who orders your steps. Follow his path and all that has been put before you, even when it means taking a slight detour.

AmyGood

Strength is ageless. Make key choices to unlock your future.

No’s are conditional and temporary; they are never set in stone. One needs ten no’s for every yes, but remember that turning “no” into “yes” is a fun adventure.

Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success. ’I am a woman of significance. I am valuable. and I am worthy is a motto for all women globally.

Two of the greatest lessons I learned from my mentor were to honor and appreciate others and build a great team and get out of the way. I have worked to live these principles every day.
