Embrace Age and Experience
Age is your friend. Don't be afraid of it. And don't be afraid to start a company at age 58 like I did. The more experience you have, the more comfortable you can be in your own skin, and the more comfortable you can make others in your presence. The people you work with don't need you to be the most beautiful, the most talented, the smartest person in the room. They need to know you believe in them, and that you believe they have something creative, insightful, and meaningful to contribute. Every year going forward can be better and better as you expand the reach of your leadership, mentoring others, and bringing out the best in the people you work with and the people you serve.

Leading by Example and Empowering Others
I try to lead by example and I also share for the benefit of all. I have published two books that really speak to women, though men have let me know they enjoy them equally as well. The Power of Joy and Purpose is my personal story and I share my 7 Presence Principles as I get asked nearly every day, how do I do it all so joyfully? I don’t do it alone. I also co-authored a book with John Tinghitella last year. We named it, NO FEAR Negotiation for Women, a book where we set forth a process that women can add to their list of abilities and for the greater benefit of our country. Men are about results and Women are about effort. We need both in business.

Pursue Your Great Ideas
Don't put that great idea on the back burner! I did and waited until I was over 50 to pull it off and make it a reality. You can do hard things so don't underestimate yourself. It is also critical to surround yourself with people who make doing the impossible seem so ordinary! When you are around these people... your idea of what's possible expands!

Perseverance and Vision
For newbies-> Focus on persevering and learning, not on perfection, success will come. For 5+ years -> Trust yourself. Design your company around your vision. Don't try to delegate too much so that your company loses you. Stay engaged on all levels at different amounts.
