<description><![CDATA[1. Enlightenment - Have Faith.

In a Woman's Entrepreneur Success Survey I conducted, the #1 category chosen out of 44 to define "Success" was "Faith". It can be assumed that accountability to God, or a higher purpose, helps you work with strong values, ethics and morals; based on charity, kindness, compassion, and the genuine passion to help others. Also, having faith may help you learn from your failures quicker, have less fear, and take more educated risks, because every experience (good or bad) is one step closer to goal attainment for all the right reasons.]]></description>

I learned that it's my responsibility to accept credit whenever it is due, such as being able to raise beautiful (from the inside-out), well-mannered, respectful, caring, and loving girls. I finally learned how to take pride in my gifts and talents by graciously accepting a compliment, rather than pushing them off with the typical "nay, are you kidding? No way...that's not me...whatever!" As women, we're so used to giving, that we can't even accept a compliment...worse yet, we feel guilty, or obliged to give one right back.]]></description>
