The most common question I get is from people who ask me how it is they can be able to move forward and actually put into action the very thing they have been thinking of doing for eons. Once you overcome procrastinating how do you take that final leap? The fear of failure and fear of the unknown is what holds people back. As a person you need to get to a place where you feel your purpose so strongly that not accomplishing it is a worse fate than death.
There is nothing that makes me sad than to meet someone that wanted to do something so badly but because they were unwilling to get out of their comfort zone, they lost time and now they have settled into their fate and what life has handed them as their destiny.
The one thing I tell women to do is to begin with the end in mind.What is it that you want to accomplish in the long run. If you took a look in the mirror and you saw yourself a decade from now; who is the woman looking back at you in the mirror? How does she feel about herself? How does she live her life? What things are important to her? Then figure out how you can get the woman in the present to get to the woman in the future.
Another mistake I have found women making is thinking that there is only one way. Ask any battle strategist, the goal is the same; eliminate the enemy. But the methods are countless. Accept that you are not defined but what you do but what who you are and what you have to offer. Find ways to bring your skill set to the forefront no matter what you do.Whether you set up a yogurt shop or run a multi-million organization the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment is the same.
I have sat in boardrooms with sleek looking investment bankers who own factories and chicken businesses. Remember all that matters is the goal. Do not get caught up trying to keep up with the joneses.
