The Formula of Women Who Always Get What They Want

Looking at women getting what they want, there are various groups, but two stand out to me, the women who talk about getting what they want, and the group who actually get what they want.

Believe me, they’re running in two different lanes, one is wishing, one is winning. One group live in hesitation, overthinking their choices, hoping something will eventually shift. The other sets her sights on something and goes for it like a leopard that spots an antelope after three days of intermittent fasting that they didn’t volunteer for.

She’s decisive, deliberate and shockingly consistent about her standards,

Truth is, the women who get what they want don’t always rely on luck, reaching unattainable beauty standards, or even privilege as much as you might think. They rely on a formula. A formula they tried a few times, saw the results, and swore by it.

It’s a way of moving through the world that makes it damn near impossible for them not to get what they came for.

In this article, I will break down what that formula is and how you can apply it to your own life. But as expected, I won’t sugar coat the tough truths you might need to face if you’ve been self-sabotaging.

37. The Confident Woman’s Guide to Walking Into Any Room Alone

It’s so funny when I think about the times I would be nervous to start a new Yoga class, like to the point I’d rather miss out, so I don’t have to do the ‘new person in town walks into the local bar, then all heads turn’ thing.

And so, whether it’s a networking event, a high-end dinner party, or even a new fitness class, it almost always comes down to the fear of being seen, judged, or even worse, completely ignored.

For many women, this moment is loaded with anxiety because we’re conditioned to crave social validation or fear standing out in the wrong way.

In this article, I’ll break down how to turn the nerve-wrecking feeling into a confidence-building power play. We’ll look at:

  • The real reasons why walking into a room alone feels so uncomfortable, and how to shift your thinking around it

  • What confident women do differently in those first 30 seconds

  • Simple strategies to keep all eyes on you for the right reasons

  • Questions you should ask yourself before you even step through that door

By the end of this article, you’ll never hesitate at an entrance again.

36. The One Skill That Makes People Instantly Respect You

As much as we sit back and pretend we don’t care what others think, to be respected by our family, friends, partners, colleagues and even strangers is a feeling that makes us feel good.

But there’s one particular skill that makes people instantly respect you, and it has nothing to do with what you look like, the bag you’re carrying, the clothes you wear or who you know.

Instead, it’s how you show up for yourself and if you show up for yourself in the same way you expect others to show up for you. Most people hold others to a higher standard than they hold themselves, and then wonder why they’re not taken seriously.

I know, I know. You should be respected no matter what, but unfortunately, that’s not how society works.

So either you wait another century for the world to wake up, or you play the game, win, then use your newfound power to help change it quickly.

In this article, I’ll walk you through why keeping the promises you make to yourself is the ultimate credibility builder, the consequences of following through versus flaking on yourself, and the mental shift that will change the way you operate in every area of your life.

35. How To Be The Most Confident Woman Room as an Introvert

I always find it so ironic that people think that because you’re an extrovert, you automatically are given the gift of confidence.

But when you get around really confident people, they come off as an introvert. They hate small talk, they value their privacy, they limit their presence online, and they are quite happy in their own company.

And although we’re told confidence is about speaking up, making the first move, being outgoing, the truth is that, if it’s not in your nature to force it, acting this way will just drain you and make you feel like a fraudulent Fiona.

In this article, I’m going to show you how that as an introvert, you don’t need to ‘out-loud’ anybody at an event, or talk about the weather to create a conversation. You can be confident without uttering a single word.
