Taking that step takes guts, we get it.

But imagine where you could be by this time next year if you take that step...and then another...and then another?

Pretty exciting if you think about it! 💫

Just leaving this here to give you that little gentle nudge your best friend might otherwise have been there to give you to bite the bullet and stick your arm up to ask the question that's been burning away inside you for a while.

Who knows, the answer might just be 'yes' 💫

This week we're sharing some three little rules. Well, we say rules, they're more like food for thought!

Here's rule 1 to kick us off.

Maybe it's something to think about as you consider any New Year Resolutions?

Happy mulling over! 💫

Whether you've chosen to take on a big challenge, or your going through a situation you didn't put yourself in, challenges can knock us sideways, turn us upside-down and call us into question whether anything is really worth it.

Remember that baby steps are still moving you forwards. Breaking bigger problems down into smaller ones can sometimes feel like you're giving yourself a bigger list of things to try and overcome, but - actually - they make the challenge more realistic to achieve because you've shmushed a bigger ordeal into something that's more bitesized for you to take on piece by piece.

Feel free to share what challenge you're facing at the moment if you feel happy to do so, and how you're getting through it one day at a time in case your tips can help others! 👊

How are you finding the whole working from home situation where you've finished a mammoth day of work, shut down your laptop, and - low and behold - you're about three meters away from where you'll spend your evening trying to relax and not think about that one email that's sitting in your inbox waiting for your reply in the morning?

Itching to keep an eye on work even though you're meant to be done for the day? It's so easily done where there's an overlap of work encroaching more on our personal time as the tech is within touching distance when you're working from home.

What are your 'go to' tactics to leave work behind and switch your brain off?

Here are some short and sweet tips we pulled together to separate out your professional and personal time - see how many you tick of the list out of 5!

We started sharing a starter for 10 for books to inspire and - before we share many more - we wanted to hear from you what you're loving reading and would recommend for likeminded women to help them with their careers? It doesn't have to be a straight-laced business book but maybe you've read something recently that changed the way you think? Maybe it's something you wish you had have come across earlier in your career and would like to let others know about it? We want to hear your recommendations!

Comment below or drop us a message and we'll get adding to the Women's Net Book Club reading list!

No one could have anticipated the toll that 2020 would take on us in a whole spectrum of different ways.

While there are some really amazing stories to come out of the pandemic and communities who've pulled together, there's no point sugar coating that it's been tough. There's been a lot of worry and, for some of us, grief.

As we near the end of the year, and lockdown in various forms over the last 9-ish months, it's no surprise that the novelty of working from home and striking up working relationships digitally is wearing thin. So here's a supportive reminder of how much you've overcome this year to give you a little boost to keep going on the home stretch of the year towards Christmas.

Oh, how I wish I knew this little gem of advice when I first started out in my career. I was constantly chasing the next promotion so that I could reach certain roles by certain ages to make sure that by the time I was 30 I had a particular title. As it turns out, I ended up not enjoying the job I was so busy working my way up the career ladder for and a few months before the birthday I thought would be this big milestone, I switched career paths. And you know what? I've never been happier at work.

Just goes to show that if you take a minute to stop and think about what you really want to get out of your job and what will make you happy, it might not be the path you've been pushing yourself along all this time.

As women I think we have the added pressure of wanting to have certain things ticked off both a professional and personal wish list by certain ages too. But when it really comes down to it, who cares what you do by what age as long as you're loving the path that you're taking?

Here's some tips we wrote a while back about setting out your own direction for your career: https://www.womens-net.com/get-ahead-of-the-game
