Thank goodness my mom still loves me in spite of myself, and my failure to be the best at anything. And yes, even as a highly sought-after writer, I can easily list a number of better writers, counting with both hands and a foot. Anyway, like other doting parents, my mom has always wanted the best for my siblings and me. The best education. The best job. The best spouse. Well, perhaps she’s giving up on the best husband for me. It is what it is.
We look back over the past 3 months and start to realize how far away we have drifted from our most highest priority goals. Did this happen to you this year? If so, know that it happens to the best of us and it is not to late to get back on track! Here are a few tips Finance Coach & Consultant – Antonina Geer, suggests to help you reassess and get back on track with your income goals:  Photo Credit: www.lenonhonor.com That’s an easy answer, you must dismiss the naysayers simply because they are negative. Cut them out, let them loose, do whatever you have to do to remove them from your space. It sounds easy, right? So, what do you do when ignoring them can be a challenge because those naysayers just so happen to be family members? The dynamics may have to change a bit. Here are a few tips to help you dismiss the negative naysayers in your life Recognize it for what it is. Often times, people may say hurtful things without realizing that in fact, their words do hurt. Other times it is simply a matter of ignorance or lack of understanding. For instance, think about when you first told your close family member you were starting a business and they responded in a negative way. Are you the person everyone comes to for advice? Can you envision a career where you help others, and earn a living while doing it? If so, you may have considered a career as a Life Coach.

Whether it’s the beginning of a new calendar, religious, business year which stimulates us. Or for personal reasons you feel it’s time to wipe the slate clean and begin anew. Regardless your reason, instead of starting from scratch, with all-new ideas and plans, if you start with updating previous goals, you may be re-inspired to achieve what you originally resolved to do. “I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he had imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” –Henry David Thoreau – Walden, or Life in the Woods It’s that time of year again when so many women begin to state their claim of resolution. How many times have you said, “THIS is the year I’m going to lose weight”, or “THIS is the year I’m going to start my business”, or “THIS is the year I’m going to DO ME!” And in all honesty, most of us don’t make it more than 30 days in before we fall right back into the same ole’ routine. It makes you wonder, what is it that keeps us stuck? What is it that makes us feel compelled to revert back to that which is familiar but not necessarily good for us?  Image via Christtherock.org I have to talk about this and it saddens me that not only do many women have to deal with haters in their personal lives, but in their business as well. Now of course, I’m not talking about you because you are one of my fabulously, phenomenal readers! No, I’m talking about the experiences that some of the amazing women in my circle, have to face almost daily in their business. You may consider this post a bit of a vent because quit frankly, I don’t understand it. You are the woman who is doing her “thang”, taking care of business. You work hard everyday to achieve your goals and create a legacy….and then, it happens. Is your Business Worth It? Worth the late nights and loss of sleep? Worth being misunderstood and marked an outcast? Worth taking risks and living in the unknown? Worth the often isolation and seclusion? Worth the inconsistency of generated income? Worth the extra effort and constant learning? Worth the lack of traditional stability and security? Worth the tears and frustration? Worth making it ALL work because it is your passion? You are a true entrepreneur if you can relate to these questions and answer with an unwavering, YES! Taking into account life’s random occurrences and challenges we face every day, no matter how much faith you have, sometimes you can’t help feeling hard pressed on every side. The pressures we experience in our lives can affect the way we perform at our jobs or in our business. Developing a positive mindset can be a struggle for the average person, and even more so for an entrepreneur. Not only do you have to create a certain kind of atmosphere to work in, but you also need to have a strong and focused mindset that can withstand the demands of the many aspects to delivering your vision. That’s why in my opinion, entrepreneurship is NOT for everyone. You must develop an entrepreneurial mindset and possess the ability to live your vision. That consists of: believing in yourself and idea when absolutely no one else does, it means intimately identifying with your mission, it requires taking risks and persevering through the unknown, the “What If’s” and the “No Way’s” all while still maintaining your integrity and standing in your values. By: Sylvia Browder Recently, I was faced with a situation in which I hired and trusted a seemingly smart, professional and successful business woman only to be let down drastically by her actions. What you see is really not always what you get. Though I’ve always been a good judge of character, I must admit, I let my guard down which left me doing damage control. “Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.” Abraham Lincoln Character is who we are even when no one is watching; it’s doing the right thing! So, what attributes should one look for when hiring an Independent Contractor, partnering with other entrepreneurs or collaborating on a business project? These are 3 I’s which every entrepreneur should possess. |
