‘Age Isn’t A Barrier To Becoming And Doing More’ -Ace Journalist, Betty Irabor Writes To Women In Their 50s/60s
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.”
