Girl Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Success, Sanity, and Happiness for the Female Entrepreneur

Her Success is Not Your Failure
We must also let go of the notion that another woman’s success is our
failure. Let’s be real, okay? You know that pit of your stomach feeling you
get when you see someone on social media post something amazing that
she just accomplished? I can bet my Chanel 2.55 jumbo caviar flap bag that
even if you support her and adore her, your initial gut reaction has a tinge of
envy attached to it. And that’s totally okay! In fact, it’s very normal. We
have been conditioned to think that if someone else has something, it means
there’s less of it left for us. And as common as that way of thinking is, it
could not be farther from the truth.
I also want you to get out of the habit of thinking that you’ve failed in
some way because you haven’t yet achieved the things that other women
have. That attitude will destroy you and your business. We each have a
unique path to walk in this life, and there is a reason that yours is unfolding
the way that it is. Embrace your journey and look for the lessons. Believe in
divine timing and know that what’s for you will not pass you.
GIRL CODE: Secret
Her success is not your failure.
If you’ve ever felt this way, I want you to practice reframing your way
of thinking. The next time you see a woman in business doing her thing and
achieving major results, I want you to first and foremost send her love, and
secondly I want you to imagine something amazing happening for yourself.
Use that positive energy she has created and fuel your own fire with it –
even if your goals look totally different. Remember the meditation practice
I told you about earlier? Give it a try and picture your perfect outcome.

Imagine that you are receiving that same level of success. The minute that
you realize you can have it too is the minute you free yourself of that nasty
little thought pattern.
Another suggestion? Reach out to that woman who is achieving great
success and talk to her! Send her an email and congratulate her. Ask her for
a coffee. Depending on how well you know her, see if she has some time to
mentor you, or offer you a word of advice. We must create a new vibe with
each other. We must feel comfortable congratulating and helping our fellow
sisters. When you believe that there’s enough to go around, why wouldn’t
you want to celebrate someone else’s success?

Alicia DiMichele, Entrepreneur/MomBoss/Trendsetter
There is nothing I love more than a fierce, fabulous, and down-to-earth
woman. When I found Alicia DiMichele, entrepreneur and star of VH1’s
Mobwives, I was immediately drawn to her vibrant personality and her
warm heart. Alicia’s struggles were made public on Mobwives, but despite
everything she has faced in her personal life; she has persevered and proved
to us that your past does not define your future. I knew I had to include
Alicia in this book because she lives by the mantra “Women Empowering
Women.” Get your highlighter and get ready to dig into this juicy interview.
