8 Steps To Being A Successful Woman

The influence of women in today's world continues to grow. Despite that, it is unavoidable to come across adversity that may hinder you from your goals. Here are some tips I would like to share with you that would give you insight on how to be a successful modern day woman.

1. Seek and embrace your passion

Behind every adult is a child that once dreamed for the stars. Before you take on a career, make sure you know what it entails. Be ready to take on challenges and to use the best of your abilities. The wonderful thing about opportunities is that they always occur and you continue to learn something new. People are successful because they fail. In failure, you learn to hope, strive and work towards improvement. Every day is an opportunity to begin anew or change for the better.

2. Passionate persistance

George Lucas’ Star Wars was rejected by various studios before 20th Century Fox invested in the franchise-turned-phenomenon. Rudyard Kipling was told he didn’t know how to use the English language when he presented The Jungle Book. Walt Disney’s caricatures were scorned by his teacher, saying he lacked imagination. These influential figures teach us one thing; though there will always be negativity, simply add a dash of passion and perseverance onto your ideas and you’ve stumbled upon the recipe for success. Every individual is paired with their own set of trials, but what makes everyone the same is that as long as you hold on to your passion, it will continue to do wonders.

3. Set and pursue your goals

Before you aim for the moon, establish the ground rules first. Take out your blueprint and aim for the spot where you wish to land. Is it on the second star to the right? Are you paying the Little Prince a visit? Make sure you’ve strapped on your rocket ship with enough fuel to take you to the stars. All it takes is making the first step. Move forward with a positive mindset. Learn from the setbacks and everything else will follow.

4. Check your progress

Keep your progress in check by making sure you are engaging yourself in activities that’s making you move forward. Set realistic goals as well as deadlines. When you measure your progress, you will realise your potential while continuing to be better at what you do.

5. Network

Whether you’re a small fish in a big pond or a big fish in a small pond, you’re bound to meet someone or a group of people who mirrors the same goals and ideas as you do. It’s vital to keep these people within your circle. Apart from absorbing their positivity, the growth and influence on each other will be inevitable. Never underestimate the power of synergy.

6. Concentrate on what works for you

If you excel in social media, work towards that field. If you’re passionate about literature, take on creative writing. If you wish to be an entrepreneur, attend seminars and take classes. It is admirable to take on new horizons but you must also make sure that you don’t strain yourself. Take one day at a time. Achieve your goals and realise the activities that you enjoy doing. Charge at opportunities when your heart and mind are in sync. It is important to remind oneself about why you’re engaging yourself in these activities and how you picture yourself in the years to come. If you can still confidently say that these make you happy, you will continue to fare forward smoothly.

7. Believe in your abilities

Invest in your capabilities and believe that your contribution to the industry are crucial. Don’t let adversity or negative people put you down. Believe in what you do. A person’s vision shouldn’t be influenced by others. After all, it’s your vision and yours to turn into fruition.

8. Create, inspire and evolve

I believe that when you claim certain things, they are on their way to happening; claim it and you’ve already owned it. A positive mindset can do wonders compared to that of a timid, skeptic mind. When you learn to embrace what you can do and pair that with challenges, the result would be honing your skills. When it makes a difference in your life, it will make a difference in others. To create even the slightest ripple in someone’s life, be it through what you do or inspiring others, you’ve already changed the world as you know it.
