Hayley has identified through evidence based studies the 5 main psychological attributes it takes to be successful.
These are all things you can work on, the 5 attributes are:
1. Resilience is like a reservoir, sometimes it will be low and drought like, at other times it can be full to the brim. Hayely explains resilient people set challenging goals for themselves
2. Self belief, the belief that we have the skills, the knowledge, the the abilities, to successfully achieve, whatever it is, we've we've decided we're trying to do. From Hayeley's study she found women in business with high levels of self belief had role models, regularly listed their achievements, they also regularly visualised their desired outcome actually happening, for example when bidding for a piece of work they visualised winning it before it had happened.
3. Importance of relationships, building and nurturing relationships is something that consistently comes out across the research over the last 20 years, but also through my own studies that women who are successful in business do really well. It's one of our core strengths as business owners. Women are good at supporting each other in business and helping each other.
4. Business planning and organising, really taking the time to think carefully about what your business is about what success means to you. Who are the kind of clients you want to work with? What's your vision? What's your mission? And then on the back of that, what's your strategy to achieve that?
5. Commercial Awareness, one of Hayley's studies showed successful women benchmarked and payed attention to what was going on in the sectors that they specialised in. This helped them pivot accordingly. And they all had very clear pricing strategies.
