Soar to Success January 2018

SOAR TO SUCCESS / January 2018 / Core Business Strategies H appy New Year! Wow 2017 went by so fast! It’s hard to believe we are already in a newyear! Have you done your year- end review? Did you accomplish everything you set out to this past year? Do you have new goals for 2018 written down? I sure hope that creating confidence about your image is one goal you have for written down! I once heard that to begin creating the life you love, you need to make a list of 100 goals. I know, 100 -crazy right!? Not easy either. But more importantly, at the end of each year you should grab your pen, and paper and have a cup of coffee with yourself. Begin asking yourself your year-end review questions. Did I accomplish all my goals? If not, what ones will I transfer to my new goal list and which ones will I modify or eliminate? What were some of my biggest challenges this past year? Were any of those repetitive from the previous year? What strategic plan will I put in place this year to be intentional about eliminating that challenge once and for all? Wow, that certainly gave me a lot to think about! Back then, like so many of my clients today, I struggled with the same issue, year after year. I’m talking about when you find yourself standing in front of your closet saying, “I don’t have anything to wear!” You know that frustration I am talking about. When yourmind races as you start moving through the pieces thinking, no, too casual, no, too dressy, nothing to match that. I feel frumpy in that, that’s too big, that’s too old and out of style, oh I’m just not sure, or worse yet, it’s too small! This kind of repeated behavior can create so many self-defeating attitudes! Not to mention the depressed state of mind you end up in! Happy New Year 2018! By Lynnette Begue Lavery
