There is nothing better than having a circle of boss friends. Girls these days are always competing with one another instead helping each other boss up. Girls don't realize that what's meant for you will always be for you. It's time to start sticking together. Stop comparing yourselves to one another. Stop feeling intimidated and start feeling inspired. There are many things that help with keeping a circle of boss friends, and a few of them are listed below.
Support
Supporting one another is very important in having a strong friendship. Whatever your hustle is or your friend's hustle is, it should be supported. You should help as much as you can. I never truly understood how someone can be a friend to someone, and not want to see them succeed. The feeling should be mutual. Supporting can be something as simple as showing up to their events, promoting their hustle on social media, telling others about it. Something so little can really help.
Constructive Criticism
Constructive criticism comes along with supporting your friend. Every friend needs an honest one. Your friend is never going to reach her highest potential if you hold her hand throughout the process. Also, when giving constructive criticism you have to be cautious of what you say. Sometimes your constructive criticism is not needed. There should be a balance of criticism and compliments. Same goes for you, you don't want a friend who only tells you what you want to hear. You also don't want a friend who just wants to critique every aspect of your life.
Motivation
Sometimes your friend may lack confidence in what their pursuing. To maintain a friendship as female bosses you have to push them to keep going. Sometimes motivation from a close friend is what we need to get back on track. If you don't do this for your friend, then they won't realize how much of a boss they truly are. If you're not motivating your friend then you're not helping. Same goes for your friend, if they're not motivating you then maybe they don't want to see you succeed.
Network
Network. Network. Network. In my Dj Khaled voice, I shall say this is the key to success. If you know someone who is interested in the same areas that your friend is, introduce them. This should be vice versa. Your friend should do the exact same thing for you. Networking will help your hustle expand to others.
Having a circle full of boss friends requires a lot work. At the end of the day all of you are bettering yourselves. Support goes both ways. If you see a girl doing her thing, don't be too stuck up to let her know. Let's all be female bosses together.
