Can We Apply The Same Standards For Women and Men in the Marketplace?

We are bombarded by a lot of the hotshot successful business entrepreneur speakers, most of whom are men. And what is common in all their messages? Grind, be consistent, push, increase your prices, get better at what you do, etc. 

Until I came across a thought that women and men cannot play the same. We are just wired differently. It is therefore unfair for us to be judged in the same way.

For years, I have been feeling that there must be something wrong with me. Why can't I grind, be consistent, push, ask for better prices, and be confident in my knowledge and skills?  This has led me to feel inadequate, do even less, pivot endlessly, and procrastinate to the death of many of my dreams that would have been.

I have reached the point of burnout. I now want to do what I want to do, not what I have to do. Yes, I know that may not always be good enough. But if I can start with what my goals are, then what is the best way that I can meet those goals without struggling? Cos for real, it feels like a constant struggle to something that I can't ever achieve. 

So, with that in mind, I am going back to Real Estate Sales (yes, I know this is yet another pivot) and have web design as a side hustle, which I will stop marketing and just service my current clients. If I get any new clients, I can't refuse money, but I will ensure I charge well for my services. The reason for changing back to real estate is that I find Web Design to be an extremely time-consuming service, and very competitive, with low returns, whereas Real Estate Sales is also time-consuming and competitive, the returns and way better.
