Take inspiration from the women of Stroud WMB

As we met at beautiful Burleigh Court this week, overlooking the lush green Golden Valley (seriously, visit, if only to appreciate the view!), the women of Stroud WMB were asked, ‘do you have a favourite saying?’.

The icebreaker question got more than a few heads nodding so we’ve collated the responses here, just for you.  

The shared wisdom of the WMB members is a real treasure trove! So whether you’re just starting out in business, or you’re well-practiced at navigating business life, perhaps you’ll find something here that resonates with you. 

• “You win or you learn.” 
• “Life's not a dress rehearsal.” 
• “Still I rise.” - Maya Angelou 
• “All things in moderation – including moderation itself!” 
• “Let’s do this!’ 
• “Just F***** do it.” 
• “I believe in you.” 
• “People won’t remember what you look like, but they will remember what you say.” 
• “You can only decide based on what you know now.” 
• “Everything happens for a reason.” 
• “Just keep swimming!” 
• “What other people think of me is none of my business.” 
• “If you are upset with someone, it won't upset their day, it’ll upset yours.” 
• “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you.” 
• “Don't ask why this is happening to me, ask why this is happening for me.” 
• “Do it for your future self.” 
• “If you don’t ask, you don’t know.” 
• “You can't help others until you help yourself first.” 

Hopefully, something here sparks the inspiration that you need right now. And if you need a deeper take on your current path in business – well, perhaps you’ll have to come and meet the group in person!
