#14 Global Dollars – Success in International Business

June 18, 2014

Hello everybody! Welcome back to another week of Wealth Unplugged! This week I interviewed Alessia Marini on Feminine Wealth TV and this podcast presents my key takeaways from the interview, so that you have a resource available to grab quick nuggets of information, no matter where you are or what you are doing!

Alessia is such an inspiring woman! She runs 7 different companies on 5 continents - so she knows a lot about success in international business! It is exciting to meet someone who brings a feminine energy to business, and very successfully!

Takeaway #1 - Women often feel like we need to act like a man in business

In the corporate world women tend to take on very masculine personas to try and climb the ladder. Often in the entrepreneurial world, women are thinking smaller - seeing the idea of bigger business as masculine and wanting to do something true to themselves. Alessia is a good example of one who has found a way to step into who she truly is, yet run businesses on a global scale. Part of her success comes from the realisation that she could bring her passions into the business and have authentic business relationships that reflected her, rather than a masculine ideal of business. (She delves into this quite significantly so check out the interview on Feminine Wealth TV for more!).

Takeaway #2 - Your passion doesn't need to be your business...

... but you must bring your passions into your business! Once you align your business with what your bigger vision or passions are, you will come alive in your current business. For example, I feel passionate about finding a way to curtail the practice of girls being sold into slavery around the world - a business is tool that can help provide the resources to fuel that bigger vision!

Takeaway #3 - The secret to true wealth lies in not giving up your feminine power

If you find yourself depleted at work or in business and feeling like you have to become a man of a woman to succeed, you have given up your feminine power. Being true to yourself is one of the secrets to building true wealth!
