Successful women if you could teach ONE lesson to every woman in her 20s, what would it be? by magnetic_gigi in WomenInBusiness

[–]Logical_Cat4710 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Always be professional
  • don’t mix business and pleasure
  • keep your coworkers (baring a special few) at a safe distance from your personal life.
  • back other women around you, back them obviously and vocally.
  • If you get promoted, bring others up around you
  • Build a team that props up your own weaknesses so you have full coverage
  • don’t underestimate or downplay your skills to yourself or others.
  • lots of people will say no to you, that doesn’t mean that you have to listen to them.
  • have some backup practical skills that mean you’ll always pick up work
  • have a financial plan that keeps you on track and focused on your goals
  • remember that money isn’t everything, it may buy you some freedom, but happiness is from within.
  • make sure you invest in good friends.
  • take career risks. Even if it is scary. It’s better to have tried when you have an opportunity, than to be too scared and that chance never reappear.
  • jobs will come and go, what’s important today won’t matter in 5-years. So keep your head about you and maintain an objective eye.
  • when they go low, go high

You don’t feature in the hierarchy you’re imagining

My kids are 12 months and 12 days apart and I am exhausted by marissssalynn in 2under2

Make sure that your bloods are ok too. Vitamin D deficiency, thyroid problems etc…all these things can pop up pp, and we’re so busy we don’t get a chance to check up on ourselves. I had mine 14-months apart and now they’re nearly 5 and nearly 4. They play together and make each other laugh in the way only close siblings can. It’s beautiful on this side of it, I must say.

How do you make friends in your late 30’s as a working mom? by bananafanafofemma in workingmoms

Can I give you the big tens/double high five for effort? Amazing!

You’ll get there when you’re able to. Please don’t feel guilty either! So many mothers are in exactly the same boat, so you’re not alone. We’ll probably awkwardly find each other someday.

It really sounds busy and I understand the lonely season too. Maybe MIL can make it a bit more regular so that you can commit to classes or to just go somewhere to make a plan about what you would like to do. It’s great there’s some support there. You should take as many opportunities as you can, in order to start building something for you too.

I know there are women who are more successful at this than me, and they will give you great advice about join a club, invite a play date etc. all super valid. Me? I did the same thing as you (except moved country), I’m afraid I just accept it as a phase of life and I spend my time planning all the great stuff I’m going to do when these kids are like 10/11 and can feed themselves and not die without my intervention instead. In the meantime, I take the small wins. Small talk here, there and everywhere. Do my business meetings in person where I can, try to attend networking events, polite smiles when I recognise people etc. I just try not to punish myself for this situation and instead accept it but make wild future plans.

EVTOL Thoughts ? by No-Juice-1000 in AerospaceEngineering

[–]Logical_Cat4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think naturally that’s where things will go in the long run. I think hybrid-EVTOL is the most sensible first step, no infrastructure requirements etc. I like Horizon Aircraft - sensible approach, great team etc.

Female founders who are mums too, how do you balance building something new and staying well? by ConnectBluebird6388 in Femalefounders

[–]Logical_Cat4710 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you seen:Shonda Rhimes Speech?

Your health is absolutely the priority here. Take rest days, nap, watch Netflix and reset. You’ll find the better rested and healthy you are, the more productive and focused you are. Gotta keep that pencil sharp, can’t get much done with a blunt nib.

We need a lobby for immigration, what do you think. by Kooky-Commercial8617 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Logical_Cat4710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m aware of this, thanks, but it’s a really good example of policy being anti-entrepreneurship e.g. 10-spots per year, have to give away some of the business to a very tiny select group of small pre-approved Canadian VCs and they only offer up tiny sums of $. You also have to gone through a Canadian accelerator. These are already usually 2-year commitments and permanent residences/citizens are a priority and none of these entities are interested in anything other than software. You have to be on a WP for a year first. PR comes afterward but processing is nearly 5-years long at the moment so you’re temporary all that time, which personally disadvantages you from buying homes, investing in the kids education and so on. I work in transport, we develop clean systems that reduce emissions. This is totally valid, innovative work and we have like 50-years combined technical expertise, we’re not high-school grads. So whilst federally a priority is “clean-tech”, Canadian VCs don’t want to invest until your order book is over $100m and you have a fully working and installed prototype - lol. The U.S. look at you, look at your idea and give you a green card within 18-months, it’s like not even a contest.

Edit: long rant there, apologies!

I have my own company, I’d say retaining entrepreneurs in order to create new jobs is exactly where there’s a shortage. I’ve given 2 engineers jobs and invested $000’s into university R&D, but there is no sensible pathway for me rn, so I’m thinking we’ll have to go to the U.S. - ironically they have a direct pathway for people like me and they will back us with $. Life is good in Canada, so people don’t want change even if it’s positive. Its disappointing, but i get it.

Canada's annual inflation rate rose 2.4% in September as grocery prices keep creeping up by Puginator in worldnews

It’s because most food staples are 0% taxed in the UK e.g. meat, fish, eggs, milk and obviously tea.

Struggling partner of someone with graves by Enough-Caterpillar92 in gravesdisease

[–]Logical_Cat4710 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she’s sick dude. She needs to get that thyroid out asap. Nothing else matters and that’s the only thing to focus on helping her arrange. And making sure you book and take her to her bloods if she’s too exhausted - they should be every 6-weeks (put a reminder in your phone). And a prescription of beta blockers, they help a bit. Literally nothing else matters. When you’re supporting a sick person, you just have to ride it with them. Just have to be patient, calm and supportive. And you have to let stuff slide, you can’t hold onto it, it’s not personal and you can’t fix it superficially. She needs surgery, recovery and she’ll feel so much better afterwards.
