Writer, publisher and founder of Genevieve magazine, Betty Irabor has shared a motivational message with women in their 50s and 60s, who thinks age is a barrier to becoming and doing more, advising them to lose that mindset.

Rather, they should start to design the life they desire from where they are. In a congratulatory post to her friend, Nimi Akinkugbe, who has just been appointed as the Nigerian Ambassador to Greece, the 63-year-old mom-of-three called on these class of women to be deliberate/intentional, and position themselves for opportunities.

In her words:

“To every woman out there who thinks Age is a barrier to becoming MORE and DOING MORE, l say lose that mindset. However, don’t wait till you’re “old” to start designing the life you desire….

Start where you are…

*Be deliberate/intentional

*Position yourself for opportunities

*Don’t stop Reinventing yourself

*build your personal brand

*invest in quality connections

*mind your mind/body/ spirit

*GIVE BACK.”

Below is her full post…

”Congratulations on this new role as the Nigerian Ambassador to Greece. I know for a fact that you will represent Nigeria very well and attract investments to our country in agriculture and manufacturing given your vast experience in the financial sector.
