10 Traits of a Successful Woman (womenentrepreneur.com)
6 points by donna on June 24, 2007 | hide | past | favorite | 9 comments



A couple I didn't see was having good mentor(s) & a technical social network. Those two things can make or break any person, successful or not.

Mentors allow you to develop without making basic mistakes & learning hard fought lessons that are not taught. Mentors also help with making informal connections. A technical social network allows you to tap into a diverse group informally when you are in trouble or when you need a sounding board for ideas or thoughts.


This comment was more valuable than that "top ten secrets to success" digg bait.


well said.


That article oscillates between being tautological and stereotyping. How the hell did it make it on this forum?


Male guilt?


It only has 4 points, which says 3 people here don't know actual women. I think that's encouraging!


Are any of these things really that different for women than for men?


A couple extra bytes... 16 extra bits


You forgot to add "be a cutie pie".
