KEY TO SUCCESSFUL GOAL SETTING...

An understanding of goals and goal setting is essential to all Life Coaches. The right Life Coach knows the specific goal format when working with each client. The same way doesn't work for everyone but the basic guideline can get anyone on the right track. People who set a broader range of goals do much better than those who only set a couple. Don't set yourself up for failure and remember to hold yourself accountable. I help my clients focus on the 10 following goal areas:

* Lifestyle Goals
* Job, Work, & Career Goals
* Financial Goals
* Time & Personal Organization Goals
* Health & Fitness Goals
* Relationship Goals
* Self-Esteem Goals
* Personal Growth Goals
* Quality of Life Goals
* All & Any Other Goals

If you can focus on certain areas, narrow down what you want to change or accomplish, you'll be one step closer to making it happen. Here are my suggestions for setting successful goals...

* Identify the goal
* Write it down
* Set the date for completion
* List the obstacles to reaching the goal
* Write and date the action steps
* Prioritize your goals
* Review and track your progress on schedule
* Update and goal, date, or action step that isn't working.

Remember goals are meant to be changed. Life happens and we need to always be adjusting to that in order to be successful. By setting goals you are giving yourself a plan. A plan that you outline out and set up for success. don't let yourself fail.

Take Charge


Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is--your home, your office, your family--with a loving heart.
Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new ideas and rejoice in your womanhood...My prayer is that we will stop wasting time being mundane and mediocre...We are daughters of God--here to teach the world how to love...
It doesn't matter what you've been through, where you come from, who your parents are--nor your social or economic status. None of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give to the world...
Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!

-- Oprah Winfrey
YOU DON'T GET TO CHOOSE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE OR WHEN. YOU CAN ONLY DECIDE HOW YOU'RE GOING TO LIVE.

Your True Potential


Even though you were delt a dark hand
The strides you will make are unaniable
your motivation and determination make you unqestionable
Your possibilities and your end are but to grand
Your true potential

Seeing only the bad never seeing it all
Intimidated by everything you never had
Made to fill unequal or limited by statics stated
But a true reality saves us before we fall
Our true potential

Now that our judgement is unclouded
Up we rise like a rose in a cold city
Our greatness shines and we are never to be pitied
Our purpose and future ensure that were never grounded
Finally our true potential

WE MUST DELIVER OURSELVES WITH THE HELP OF OUR MINDS... FOR ONE WHO HAS CONQUERED THE MIND, THE MIND IS THE BEST OF FRIENDS; BUT FOR THE ONE WHO HAS FAILED TO DO SO, THE MIND WILL REMAIN THE GREATEST ENEMY.

REINVENTION


I’m sure there is something about ourselves we would like to change, or wish we could change; either make different, make better or get rid of. The power to change is within ourselves and it is with the body and mind working together that make this change happen. The motivation to reinvention comes from knowing that you can change whatever you want about yourself. You need to reformat your way of thinking, not just about yourself but how you want others to perceive you. Our minds are the most powerful tools we have and we would not exist without them. So the greatest advantage we have is our ability to change our thoughts and actions, all stemming from our everyday decisions. Pinpoint what you want to change and take action to accomplishing that. Start with your thoughts…change your thoughts, and your body will follow.
