What Stands Between
YOU AND THE FUTURE YOU ENVISION?
For many women, it’s a lack of clarity on how to get started. When you have this big dream, the idea of getting from where you are to where you want to be is a bit overwhelming. But remember, “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” and your empire won’t be either. So, look at Rome as a pillar of inspiration. With the right tools and an unwavering commitment – you’ll be unstoppable.

PERSONAL GOAL-SETTING STEPS
In order to know when you have “arrived,” you must have a definitive outcome in mind. This fool-proof five-step process gives you the space to set concrete goals and the tools to achieve them.
STEP ONE
SET INTENTIONAL GOALS
This first step is very involved. When you set intentional goals, you create a plan that guides you toward intended outcomes. The more focused and specific your goals are, the higher the likelihood that a logical plan will arise to help you achieve those goals. You should put significant time into this step. Intentional goals require thoroughly examining what you want to achieve and why.
STEP Two
SEEK DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT
We’re all familiar with the idea of development. Heck, many of us on this journey are moms responsible for our kids’ development. But that’s just it. Society places a lot of value on the development of our youth. But, people often overlook how valuable it is to foster lifelong development. Each phase of life offers new experiences and new opportunities to learn. So, while you’re setting and achieving goals, it’s the perfect time to adopt a growth mindset and expand your knowledge with education, training, and programs. What you learn can prepare you to be more successful as you set out to achieve (or progress towards) your goals.
STEP Three
TAKE ACTION
You’re a go-getter. That’s evident, or you wouldn’t be here reading this article right now. So, here’s the part you will like best. It’s time to dig in and take action. Thanks to the planning and the preparation in steps one and two, you know how to get started.
STEP Four
ASSESS PROGRESS & CELEBRATE
Here’s an insider goal pursuit tip: Not only is celebrating fun, but it’s also a necessary part of the goal-getter’s journey. In fact, research suggests that our brains will remember the feeling of pleasure we get from experiencing the reward, and we may even work harder in the next phase to experience that high again. So, let’s talk about assessing progress and determining celebration opportunities.
STEP Five
FOSTER A COMMUNITY THAT BREEDS SUCCESS
Where we work and who we work around makes a big difference in our ability to succeed. Growing up, people always told us to surround ourselves with the kids making good decisions, right? Well, there’s something to that advice, even as an adult. Sis, on your journey to achieve personal growth and goals, find the people who are going to support that and even walk the path with you. Research shows, “The people you associate with determine 95% of your success or failure in life.” Don’t underestimate the impact of the company you keep – choose wisely.
