To Every Lady Out There

Being a young lady in the city, I know it’s not easy to find genuine women to surround yourself with whether it be for work or play. I can across these tips via “O” magazine and I think they’re great.

Also, if anyone is looking for women to network with for work or if you’re trying to start a business, check out Ladies Who Launch (click the title). I’ve met some amazing women there that have supported me in my endeavors and have hooked me up with valuable info and other great resources.

The 7 Qualities of Women You Want to Be Around

1. They see the strengths, not the limitations, in others. They make you proud to be yourself–because they tell you why you’re special.

2. They trust you so fully that you feel compelled to meet their expectations. Consequently, they make you feel like a better person than you normally are.

3. They respect you for what you have done and where you come from.

4. They are authentic and don’t need you to lie to them to feed their egos.

5. They live by their rules but don’t expect you to follow them.

6. They are at peace with themselves, so they don’t have to prove anything to you.

7. They’re good listeners and sincerely interested in you, so you feel important. Because they’re available for honest and genuine discussion, they make you want to share yourself.
