Recently I spoke at a Beauty Supply Conference in St. Louis, Missouri. Many women business leaders attended. I was impressed with their success because for many of them English is their Second Language and they came from another country. These successful women business leaders didn’t have a lot of business experience in their country but when they came to America they adapted and were motivated to change.
In their new country they brought with them a strong survivor instinct. These women business leaders find ways to help their customer. It is their passion to help their customers. And they are able to communicate with the younger generation even though they have a different cultural background. Interesting thing is because they are women and so are their customers, they find the needs of their customers quickly.
These women business leaders work hard and long hours. Many of them believe working hard brings in the income. They are motivated to succeed. They believe in hard work is the success factor in their business.
Many of them are mothers. Many graduated from exclusive universities in their countries. They are passing on their work ethic to their children. The children see their parents working hard and they learn this work ethic from their parents.
These women business leaders give back to the community. They help their local schools and communities. They have a stronger survivor instinct and very unique leadership styles. They are natural born leaders. They helped their family survive in their former country and this survivor instinct is inbred in them in their new country.
They are striving to be better business leaders. They are willing to change. They welcome more business and management training so that they can continue to be successful leaders.
