some pieces of advice from #GIRLBOSS

София Аморузо – уникальный пример трудолюбия, целеустремленности и решимости прийти к полной самодостаточности, играя на своих сильных сторонах. В 22 года, проверяя удостоверения личности в школе искусств, она решает начать продавать винтажную одежду на Ebay. Чтобы быть более самостоятельной и не зависеть от политики Ebay, спустя некоторое время она открывает свой собственный сайт. Еще спустя пару лет ей принадлежит компания Nasty Gal, которая стоит более двухсот тысяч миллионов (!!!) долларов. Как вам такое? Меня в этой истории всегда сводит с ума и восхищает София – человек, который стоит в основе успеха компании.

Книга "#GIRLBOSS" – отличный способ узнать, как же она в одиночку пришла к такому. Вот вам пара-тройка высказываний Софии, к которым стоит прислушаться:

• In whatever you do, you’re not going to stand out unless you think big and have ideas that are truly original. That comes from tapping into your own creativity, not obsessing over what everyone else is doing.
• You create the world, blink by blink. It is entirely yours to discover and yours to create.
• If you’re frustrated because you’re not getting what you want, stop for a second: Have you actually flat-out asked for it? If you haven’t, stop complaining. You can’t expect the world to read your mind. You have to put it out there, and sometimes putting it out there is as simple as just saying, “Hey, can I have that?” 
• The energy you’ll expend focusing on someone else’s life is better spent working on your own. Just be your own idol.
• But difficult doesn’t mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can’t control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.
• If you listen only to those around you, the chances of your dreams coming true are very small.
• If you’re dreaming big, #GIRLBOSS, don’t be discouraged if you have to start small. It worked for me.
• Confidence is more attractive than anything you could put on your body.
• As hard as it is, stop caring so much about what other people think. Find a way to hear what you want. Recognize what is your dream. And then put everything you have into that: your work, the relationships you surround yourself with, the food you put in your body.
• One of the best things about life—a reason not to go blindly after one goal and one goal only—is that sometimes it will take you to something that is way cooler than anything you would have consciously set out to do in the first place.
• Being mean won't make you cool, being rich won't make you cool, and having the right clothes, while it may help, won't make you cool. It's cool to be kind. It's cool to be weird. It's cool to be honest and to be secure with yourself. Cool is the girl at a party who strikes up a conversation with you when she notices you don't seem to know many people there. 
• Never let go of your appetite to go after new ideas, new experiences, and new adventures. Compete with yourself, not with others. Judge yourself on what is your personal best and you’ll accomplish more than you could ever have imagined. Life stops for no one, so keep moving. Stay awake and stay alive.
