2. Learn to speak up for yourself
Stop apologizing. When you feel "I'm sorry" about to pass through your lips, STOP! The Pantene ad "Not Sorry" that went viral shares an awesome lesson. "I'm sorry," SPOKEN REFLEXIVELY, doesn't open doors. It actually closes them. Those two words CAN rob you of your sense of self-importance. If you don't think you're valuable, and have the right to succeed by learning from your mistakes, you carry yourself that way. You can always gauge what you're putting out by noticing how others treat you. They're your mirror, reflecting back to you what you put out into the world.
