How to overcome the fear of failure and rejection and Ramadan mindset hacks to set better goals. Afraid of risk, to jump into a new project or commit to a goal? Today we're covering how to get rid of insecurities with realistic, actionable habits that help us to set goals and achieve them, both in business and in private. Especially as we're starting into a new year, Ramadan 2019 is approaching to test us on our goalsetting abilities. It's never really "easy", whether we are looking to grow in our career, establish a business or independence as a Muslim woman. Wearing hijab, praying at work, building your brand on social media are legitimate fears just as having a main and a side hustle, raising children or moving to another country could be other sources of pressure. But apart from bigger fears, there are also day-to-day situations which can make us feel desperate and fearful.  Amina from the Book Nomad podcast shares with us how she developed the skill to overcome the fear of failure.  We are cove

Girl, you need to balance your skills so in the end you are good in everything.”   Well, I believe this is NOT the way you should live your life (and research backs me up). Especially when you think about the time you have in a day. I’ve been struggling a lot to understand how I should prioritize my day to get the most out of it.  Especially when I was doing things that didn’t come natural to me, I often felt exhausted and defeat

Comparison is so normal it happens to all of us if you are small or big if you are in the first stage of your business or very much advanced in what you do. You just compare yourself and you think I don't know how I can really level up to their level. How come they are crushing me and it can be really frustrating.

That moment when I awkwardly refuse to handshake a man. It might seem weird to some people out there, but as a Muslim businesswoman, I have made many difficult decisions. Especially in the Western working environment, being visibly Muslim is already a challenge. Sticking out additionally by not compromising on physical contact with the opposite sex, that´s another level. My question is, however, what is a cultural habit and what is a value? Transparency means being truthful with everyone about the choices you make in your life. Leave your comment: 1) What experiences have you had with "the Handshake" situation? 2) What other stories can you share where they wanted you to compromise to "fit in", but your values tell you to "stand out".  Share your diversity with us!   Go to http://www.sharediversity.com and subscribe to the newsletter ----------------------------------------­­­­­­­­---------------------------------­-­-­-­-­- Subscribe to the Muslim Businesswoman channel & please leave us a review
