As we head into 2018, there is hope that this year is a watershed moment for women in business. Between #MeToo and hopeful gains on equal pay for equal work, it is high time that women get treated fairly in the workplace. We saw a record 56 women on the list of the world's billionaires. And fifteen new women were added to the list last year. A new study from YouGov found that the number one New Year's resolution for women this year is to improve finances.
Unfortunately, New Year's resolutions are hard to keep. To help women who are either seeking to grow a business or just help improve family finances in 2018, the team at Businesstudent.com created The Habits of Highly Successful Women Infographic.
Successful Women Role Models
Improving your finances and career will not happen magically. Doing so over a long period of time requires commitment, strategy and perhaps most of all, the ability to learn from others who have successfully done it. From Sheryl Sandberg and Arianna Huffington to Tyra Banks and Lucille Ball, the infographic outlines how more than a dozen of America's richest women achieved their success. The habits can help your readers succeed in 2018 and beyond.
Below are few highlights from the infographic and to view it in its entirety, you can scroll down.
Sheryl Sandberg, Dolly Parton and Simone Biles Handwrite Yearly Goals
Sandberg believes hand writing is more effective than using a digital calendar. Parton writes her goals and visualizes them as if they were true. Biles starts each year by writing down her goals for the next 12 months in a notebook.
Arianna Huffington and Ellen DeGeneres Believe in Rest
Huffington sleeps eight hours a day and wrote a book called The Sleep Revolution. DeGeneres credits meditation.
J.K. Rowling and Lucille Ball credit overcoming failures and adversity
Rowling's Harry Potter was rejected by 12 publishers (now she is worth $1.2B). And Ball was considered a failed actress before her show hit it big.
What better way to start the new year than adopting the habits of the world's most successful women?
