3 Things Required for Implementing Your Plans

Making plans for your life, your business or almost anything can be exciting and fun, but when you have to take action it could become scary. Overcoming your fears about starting something new in your life takes courage, determination and commitment to your goals.

Courage is what helps you to overcome challenges in your life or implement changes that will make your life better. When you use your innate courage to overcome obstacles that keep you from success, you boost your self-confidence and increase your personal power to get things done.

Determination is another necessary and natural element you must have to carry out your plans. Without this important factor in your arsenal, you will likely never reach your goals. Determination fosters the dedication that you’ll need when times get tough to keep on fighting for what you want.

Commitment is another element that comes after the planning stage of your goals. Commitment means that you will face what you must to continue on the path to meet your goals and dreams.

When you’re truly committed, you don’t work on your goals whenever the urge strikes. You work on it whenever you have time.

Procrastination will be a thing of the past when you make a real commitment to completing your goals. You’ll focus on what’s really important to gain the outcome you want.

Making excuses keeps you from implementing your plans. You may think you need to become more educated about what you’re getting ready to undertake, but there will always be more to learn. Begin now, or you’ll never be ready to implement your plans.

Experience will provide the skills and the can-do attitude you’ll need. Progress will depend on your mindset and how well you’ve refined your goals to get the desired outcome.

You need to hold yourself accountable to carry out your plans. By using your innate courage, gathering all your determination to see it through and committing completely to the process, you should succeed beyond your wildest dreams.

Being an independent woman is a life skill that will empower you to take control of your life and rely on yourself to accomplish your dreams. The more independent you are, the more freedom you have to focus on what matters most to you and to attain your goals in ways that are important to you. Being an independent woman is not about being alone but it is about honoring your own needs and values over those of others. Independence is the foundation of your adult life. It’s the thing that allows you to make decisions for yourself, do things for yourself, and move through life without a constant feeling of self-doubt or regret. No one reaches the end of their lives regretting the adventurous things they did do. We do, however, often regret the things we didn’t have the courage or ability to do. We all have that family member or friend who likes to constantly offer their free advice, or explanation as to why you should live your life a certain way. Maybe your favorite aunt...

The Skill of Self-Advocacy for Women

Self-advocacy is an important skill that allows women to communicate their needs effectively with others. This includes everyone from bosses to friends, relatives, and spouses. When women master this skill, they can navigate life more easily with resilience, assertiveness, and confidence. Here are a few examples of what it means to be your own self-advocate: Asking for a raise at work and providing legitimate evidence that supports your request. Telling a friend you don’t eat seafood when they recommend it for dinner and suggesting the two of you come up with another idea that pleases everyone involved. Asking a teacher if you can take a math test in a separate room or after class if you get test anxiety. These are all very different examples; but they each communicate a vital part of self-advocacy which is understanding the value you bring to the table, communicating your preferences clearly, and recognizing what you need to feel in contr...

When women feel confident and comfortable they can easily converse with others. But when they are nervous and afraid, which happens all too often in business and work situations, it’s another story. The good news is women can learn different ways to start conversations that are effective. The key is to practice so you get better. Begin by keeping it simple. Have a follow up plan after the initial hello, how are you? Don’t use a clever ice breaker that could blow up on you. Leave the jokes or snappy stories out of the initial conversation as well. Be yourself and don’t try to say something that isn’t natural to your personality. Give the person you're speaking to a compliment about something such as a project they just finished, a presentation they gave or how organized they are.
