Chester Women in Business Get Motivated in 2010
Chester Women in Business can get motivated in 2010 by taking action steps, one small step forward at a time if necessary, towards their individual small business goals.
Are you a Chester Woman in Business and want to get motivated this year?
A good friend and business colleague of mine, Nikki, has written an article on how to Get Motivated in 2010, which I read today. She writes in her entertainingly unique style, she doesn’t hold back or spare your sensitivities. She tells it like it is!
And so it is for many women in business!
The sub heading in her article that grabbed my attention is this one:
“Reading about or watching the success of others isn’t going to
make you successful”
Nikki precedes that sub heading with various points about the potential of success, or failure, for women in business, and yes, she tells it like it is for many who don’t take action, or fear failure, or even fear success itself. But that last sub heading is the one I enjoyed the most, which she neatly added to with a well worth watching video by Will Smith, the Actor, in which he ’shares his wisdom on life’.
Watching the video, I noted the titles.
- Greatness is in Everyone
- There’s No Shortcut To Success
- Focus On Making A Difference
- Represent An Idea
- You Have To Believe
- Nothing Is Realistic
- Our Thoughts Are Physical
- Attack Your Fears
- Be Willing To Die for The Truth
Personally, I agree that reading about, or watching others success, alone, isn’t going to make you successful. Yet, by reading the success stories of other successful women in business, or watching how they achieve their success certainly does help you pick up some really useful hints, tips and strategies that you can then put into action in order to help you achieve your own level of success.
My take on Will’s titles:
Greatness Is In Everyone
Yes, greatness is in everyone and it’s in you too!
In general terms, it’s really difficult to see your own greatness. Greatness is such a BIG word that you may wonder if you can actually do it justice by applying it to yourself, your skills or your knowledge. There are many Chester women in business quietly applying their individual brand of greatness into their daily lives at home and at work. Do you recognise your greatness?
There’s No Shortcut To Success
If there was a shortcut to what most people believe to be success, then the world would be so overrun with successful people, you wouldn’t be able to move an inch! The reason that the world is not overrun with these overnight successes, is that in the majority of cases, successful people didn’t find that elusive shortcut, they’ve instead worked long and hard to achieve it! Success of course means something different to everyone. What do you see as being your level of success?
Focus On Making A Difference
Don’t you love this one? I do. This title instantly brings a friend of mine to mind, Karen, a Chester Woman in Business, working tirelessly in her spare time to Focus on Making a Difference that benefits ethical small businesses, supports charities and helps others raise charitable donations. She’s making a difference for people like Jason who is raising funds for Crohn’s Disease. Where can you focus on making a difference?
Represent An Idea, Believe and Be Unrealistic (3 in one)
Represent the idea, to yourself and for others, that you can achieve your goals. Believe that you and others can achieve and perhaps throw in a dose of, what others may view as ‘unrealistic’, dogged determination! How unrealistic are you choosing to be today?
Our Thoughts Are Physical
No, this isn’t one of those ‘think yourself thin’ or ‘wish for a million and it will miraculously turn up tomorrow’ moments. It’s proven that your thoughts do become things, however, the ‘trick’ to turning your thoughts into reality is to know what you want to achieve, plan how you are going to get there and then take the required action, one step at a time. If you need a helping hand with that process, get your free small business start up audit. What, thoughts turned physical action, steps will you take today?
Attack Your Fears
It was Sue Jeffers, Author of Feel the Fear and Do It Any Way ( Amazon book search) who really tackled this topic. You’ve probably got as many fears as the next person, but as touched on above, if your thoughts become physical, by focusing on fearful thoughts, that’s what you’ll end up with! Change your thoughts, take the right action, attack and face those fears! What fears will you attack and face anyway?
Be Willing To Die for The Truth
What did he say? I’m assuming he means that you must keep on going, don’t give up on your dreams, even when others tell you that you’re being unrealistic, wasting your time, your effort! If you believe in yourself, your greatness, your ideas, and that you can and will achieve your goal of success, then yes, I’d agree, stopping is not an option. Just make sure that your action steps are ones that take you forward. Will you give up or die trying?
That’s some food for thought for all you women in business. You can read Nikki’s complete article Here: How To Get Motivated in 2010 and do take a little time to watch that motivating video of Will Smith sharing his wisdom on life.
Oh, and there’s a link to a competition just above Will’s video that you might find interesting too, check it out!
Thanks Nikki for food for thought for us Chester women in business today.
