There is something full circle about having Carole Mandi on our cover this March. When she first appeared on the TRUE LOVE cover 12 years ago, she was the outgoing editor poised to pick up the Publishing role. Her article written by Jackson Biko was heartwarming, touching on love, loss, family and the challenges of being a career woman. In this issue she is both older and wiser and touches on the same things. Here we have her 49 lessons in love (both romantic and of self ), life and the soft power of feminine success.
1 Be your own superhero
Be the leading lady of your own life. Often, as women, we tend to give our power away to others… a boss…. a spouse…a parent…a child. You know you are giving away your power when your conversation is full of what that person did or didn’t do to put you in the situation you are in right now. You can only play victim for so long. Rescue yourself. Fight your demons. Face your fears and save your day. My business went through a very difficult patch in the last two years. Our revenues were shrinking and I was losing dedicated team members. I had to come to the realisation that the only one who needed to fix it, was myself. With the help of others of course. But I needed to fix myself, to get my head right, to go back to business school, to make difficult decisions, to do all that stuff so I could rebuild my business again. It’s been a slow recovery but we are getting there.
2 Be a FLY (first love yourself) Babe
