When someone is looking to go into business or is considering taking up a new leadership position, most people tend to wait too long because they want to feel that they’re ready before taking the plunge. The thing is, there is never a “perfect time” to take that leap because all you really need is to have courage.

In every situation or circumstance, there is always a decision to be made. And if that decision can be made quicker, it can help propel people forward to where they want and need to go. Staying focused on your story and your path are also crucial in making your success into a reality. It is also important to be focused and own your story and path.

Sarah Nichols, Founder of Nichols Law P.C., is Andrea Heuston’s guest in this week’s episode of Lead Like a Woman, where she talks about the importance of women taking the leap in their careers and not waiting for the perfect time.

No one ever goes through life unscathed. People are bound to make mistakes and failures at some point in their lives but what separates successful people from the not–so-successful ones is their determination to rise up, learn from their mistakes, and try again. People who find success have learned that the only way to live life is to move forward.

And more often than not, women have a tendency to beat themselves up after experiencing failure. They are often inclined to judge themselves harshly and this leads to unhappiness and unproductivity and this is something that Stephanie hopes to remedy and turn around so that instead of becoming miserable, they end up as the best version of themselves.

Andrea Heuston is joined by Stephanie Dalfonzo, a hypnotist and coach, on this episode of Lead Like a Woman Show to talk about the power of hypnosis and being kind to oneself. Stephanie also discusses her book and how she’s preparing for her webinar, how she shifted her career from being a celebrity radio DJ to a coach, why it’s important to be kind to yourself, and the value of asking “What’s right right now?” Stay tuned.
