I really wish that I had read this a few days earlier as I passed up being nominated for an award that I didn't think that I deserved. It's a little more complicated than that - I wanted to define my own success, and also felt that it should have been about my business partner as well, but nevertheless - your post reminds me that me stepping up to the plate has far larger implications than whatever I may feel about it at the time. My steps at this point are to be more mindful of the bigger picture strategically for myself, my business and other women - hell, my daughter, who I am in the process of modeling how to be a woman. To take better care of myself so that I don't make more of these kinds of calls. To get myself more out in the community (one of my perceived "failings" and hence reluctance to accept the nomination.) To do more work on my issues around competition. Hmmm - best get busy! Thanks again. Right on Lauren. I really wish that I had read this a few days earlier as I passed up being nominated for an award that I didn’t think that I deserved.
