8 Basic Ingredients for Women to Succeed
How do we define success, it can be the result of achieving a norm we set for ourselves that can include the desire to reach a certain state of power or a rank, through attaining wealth or a position of importance. While these definitions may describe some people, women are constantly redefining what it means to be truly motivated and successful as women tend to define these terms based on their values, beliefs, and circumstances.
It seems that men and women can be in the same work scenario and define success in completely different terms. Most women value a pleasant working experience and a sense of independence and a safe environment to work as a perfect setup, while men generally aim for salaries and positions, and are comparatively less bothered by societal issues like safety at work, making their path to success slightly less arduous.

We all possess qualities that will help us achieve our set definitions of being successful, all we need to do is tap into those and bring out our best.
