Profile of a Daring Woman

According to Webster’s dictionary, daring means: Willing to take or seek out risks, audacious, bravery, boldness, adventurous, courageous or fearless.

But that’s Webster’s and last time we checked, Webster’s isn’t a woman. So let me ask you: how do you define a Daring woman? Do you have a frame of reference that comes to mind, or are you guessing at what it takes? Like you, we were curious and we wanted to find out.

My team and I conducted focus groups and countless individual interviews with successful women entrepreneurs, business owners and corporate leaders. Curious about what we found out?

A Daring Woman is many things. She is venturesome, active and enterprising. There are a myriad of other elements that embody a Daring Woman. Here are a few:

She looks to enrich her life through the addition of meaningful relationships, connections and knowledge.
She constantly seeks out news thrills and experiences and pushes herself beyond her comfort zone.
She accepts herself as she is, flaws and all, and embraces her uniqueness.
She is confident, warm and engaging and does not feel threatened by the success and achievement of other women.
She asks for what she wants and stands up for what she believes.
She lives her life on purpose and by her own rules, not by the needs and wants imposed on her by others.
She does not “put herself on sale”. She knows her worth and would not settle for less than what she deserves.
She promotes herself with ease and confidence and is always looking for new ways and venues to get the word out about her product, service or expertise.
She already is or has a plan for becoming financially free.
…and she is yearning to be in the company of like-minded women who desire the same things she does.

Have you embraced this side of yourself? Are you ready to join the ranks of Daring Women? We dare to believe that you are!
