Fabulous women are rare birds – witty, irreverent, charming and wonderful to spend time with. They were not born fabulous but have made the conscious decision to be charismatic – a standout. They have their own point-of-view, they are perennial students of style and they are committed to a positive attitude. To achieve a fabulous reputation, fabulous women share the following traits:
- They are fun. Charming, original and authentic. And most importantly, delightful company.
- They are competent. With-it and on-it! They are consistent and dependable especially when it comes to a positive attitude.
- They have unshakeable confidence and hopefulness. They believe in their capabilities and yours! They love seeing people succeed.
- They are passionate about life, work, play, relationships, and forging real friendships not just tangential ones.
- They are at ease with themselves. They like themselves. They do not need to compete. In fact, you can have the last word – they don’t need it.
Fearless and funny, self-aware and humble, adorable and delightful no matter their age, fabulous women never have to worry about losing their looks or feeling old because their sense of oomph and childlike enthusiasm is never in danger.
Surrounded by a group of like-minded friends and colleagues, they just keep getting better because they’ve at peace with themselves.
