Welcome to Women Learn From Women -

Renee grew up with a successful Mom who was a pioneer in the Network marketing industry. Even though her Mom would tell her that she would be good in business, Renee did not believe her.

For a long time, Renee was told that she was not smart by teachers. In the 70′s there was not so many ways for parents to communicate with teachers so it was hard for young girls to get a clear idea of the possibilities of careers back then.

Even though she went to a counselor to affirm herself and ask to be put in the normal class and not the slow reader class she still had to deal with labeling. She was told that she would probably not go to college so she didn’t need to worry about getting into some specific classes anyway.

As women entrepreneur, we have to re-invent ourselves in a world that is showing so much male leadership. Women who become leaders make very powerful role models which is something that can make such a difference from how girls were labeled in schools in the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s…

Times have changed! Everything is evolving so quickly and in a wonderful way as far as communication goes…I’m glad Renee overcame the labels and was able to become the leader and successful entrepreneur she is today… so there Mrs. Brown…LOL

To me that’s just amazing to think that it was not so long ago that women were just not expected to amount to too much except raising a family and becoming a good housekeeper.

Here are some tips to set your mind right and start taking charge today:

~ Have an open mind
~ Have a positive inner voice
~ Believe that you can accomplish your goals
~ Pay attention to reoccurring negative key words that pop in your mind
~ Set your own “roles” and don’t put so many expectations on yourself.
~ Realize what your strength
~ Give yourself a break
~ Cherish your positive attribute
~ Continue to grow and learn
~ Find your passion
~ Understand Your WHY
~ Find a tool to keep your WHY in front of you (vision board)
~ Seek balance
~ Read personal development books
~ Live by your own set of principals even if it seems hard at times.

After talking with Renee I realized that many women might have had a few too many of these teachers that were less then encouraging about their future. I invite anyone who is dealing with self – doubt and low self – esteem to make peace with these feelings and let them go as they are lies and do not belong to you.

You have to trust yourself and know that you have tremendous potential…Stop believing the lies… they have nothing to do with the person you are now or want become. Renee went from having very low self-esteem to having success and self-confidence… I hope you enjoy our interview…
