Women make up nearly half of the world’s population; for every 101.8 men there are 100 women. And of those women, nearly half of them make up the workforce, which is a big difference than the women who worked in the 1950’s. Of course, that was nearly 70 years ago, yet there are women still alive who can recall a time when women didn’t have the same opportunities as we do now.

Still, the world is far from equal when it comes to our male counterparts and it takes a different approach for a woman to make her mark in male centered world. There a few things you, as a female out to make a success of herself, can do to help you climb up the proverbial ladder.

Get Some Sleep

Get a Mentor

No matter what business you are going into, there are other women out there doing what you want to be doing. Find women based organizations and ask around. Network. Meet people. Before you know it, you will find other women who has more experience in your particular field.

Find a way to get to know this person, without stalking of course. See if she will be your mentor. If this person isn’t interested in being your mentor, move on. Find women-owned business groups in your area and go to the meetings. There will be someone out there who will be willing to help you create your path.

Become a Mentor

If the goal is to create a world that paves the way for women to succeed then, it is up to us, as women, to lend a helping hand. This can be done by finding ways to help a woman succeed on their chosen field.

Are you a new college student? Then, find a freshmen women’s group and meet your peers. You don’t have to be older than someone to mentor them, nor do they have to be your elder to mentor you. The goal is the help each other. If you graduated then reach out to your alma mater to learn if you can mentor someone just entering school.

Work Hard

While we suggest getting the sleep you need, it is also important to put all that you have into your future. If you want to create apps, then do all you can to improve your craft. There are newer and younger people on the scene every day. It is important to stay on top of your field. Keep sharp and up on the newest trends.

Exercise

While time is of the essence, when you are trying to succeed in business, or anything, keeping fit is as important as those eight hours of sleep. You should be getting your heart rate up three times a week. This will give you energy when you are working.

Eat Right

A diet filled with junk food because you are too busy to make sure you are eating healthy will not help you succeed in business. It will actually do the opposite. A diet filled with many colors like red tomatoes, green lettuces, spinach, kale and carrots is better for your overall success. Eat lean proteins and healthy carbs. You will feel better, which will help you succeed.

Enjoy Your Life

If you don’t have work/life balance then your career will suffer. Besides, while it’s important to achieve your dreams, it is also important to have fun. People who do nothing but work tend to burn out quickly and crash. If you take a night out with the gals and refuse to think about that proposal on Monday morning, you’ll find your mind is clearer.
