5 lies that hold women back from success
Women are powerful and, from their early age, should be encouraged to believe they can do anything they want to.
However, many of us do not actualize our true potential not because we don’t want to but because of what society dictates to us, says Blake Morgan, customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, author, and co-host of The Be Your Own Boss (BYOB) Podcast with her husband Jacob Morgan.
“Women are falling behind because we’ve been hearing lies our entire lives. I went from being a shy, proper young lady to a seven-figure entrepreneur when I realized the lies I was being told. I reversed those lies to find the truth and wrote a new story – one where I can choose to be anything.”
Watch the powerful, inspiring video, in which Blake Morgan shares the five lies we tell women and the truth behind them:
- Lie number 1: ‘Only when I weight a certain number of kilos, can you achieve great things’
- Lie number 2: ‘Don’t take up space’
- Lie number 3: ‘Ambition is bad’
- Lie number 4: ‘We women are in service to the world’
- Lie number 5: ‘A successful career is bad for the family’
