How to Work Smarter, Not Harder: A Guide for Immigrant Businesswomen to Break Free from Over-Reliance on Others
As an immigrant businesswoman, you face unique challenges that can lead to feeling overworked and exhausted. But it doesn’t have to be this way! Here are some common habits that might be holding you back and how to overcome them:
Fear of Criticism and Judgement
Personal Life: Do you avoid sharing your true feelings because you’re afraid of being judged? Support yourself by practicing expressing your feelings with a trusted friend or in a journal.
Business: Do you hold back your ideas at work because you’re scared of criticism? Share one idea in a meeting and remind yourself that feedback is a chance to grow.
Wanting to Do Everything “Perfectly”
Personal Life: Do you feel stressed trying to make everything perfect at home? Set realistic goals and accept that it’s okay to make mistakes.
Business: Do you spend extra hours at work trying to make every detail perfect? Prioritize tasks and focus on what’s most important.
Being Dishonest with Ourselves Without Even Realizing It
Personal Life: Do you sometimes tell yourself you’re fine when you’re really not? Check in with your feelings regularly and be honest with yourself.
Business: Do you convince yourself that you need to work harder even when you’re exhausted? Recognize when you need a break and take it.
Procrastination and Putting Things Off for Fear of Messing Up
Personal Life: Do you delay tasks at home because you’re afraid of making mistakes? Break tasks into smaller steps and tackle them one at a time.
Business: Do you avoid starting work projects because you’re scared of failing? Set a deadline for starting and focus on progress, not perfection.
