Stop. Apologizing.
Anyone notice lately how good women are at apologizing when they need to — and when they don't? Sometimes it seems like a constant stream of “I'm sorry” is flowing out of our mouths. We're sorry when we win, when we lose, when we promote ourselves and our business, when we get ahead or fall behind, when we outdo our friends or colleagues, when we miss the tennis ball and lose the match. What is up with that? It's okay to be good at what you do, to beat the competition, win praise (and a raise) or promote your abilities. It doesn't make you a braggart — it makes you a confident, ambitious, well-adjusted woman. Stop apologizing already!
