How to Design Your Day – Time Management for Women Entrepreneurs

February 2, 2017 No Comments

When you don’t have a routine, life just sort of happens to you.

The day either gets wasted as you try to decide what to do, or you find yourself tangled up in the wants and needs of everybody else.

“One of the most important crucial steps of your journey is your routine.” -Ray Higdon

The beauty of designing a set routine is that it forces us to prioritize and decide what is important to us.

Recently, I was inspired by Ray Higdon’s new book Vibrational Money Immersion Think and Grow Rich for Network Marketers. I’m only 60 pages in and I feel like FINALLY! I have a strategy to get unstuck and accomplish all of my goals.

If you are tired of postponing your prosperity, then it’s time to

DESIGN YOUR DAY.

Determine what time you are going to wake up. Every day. Day in and Day Out. (including weekends)

2. Design a “Morning Routine” by writing down every activity that you are going to do before you “go to work” (i.e., Meditate, Read, Journal, Exercise, etc.)

On a side note: The benefits of Daily Exercise: controls weight, combats health conditions and diseases, improves mood, boosts energy and promotes better sleep.

3. Write down at least THREE income producing activities that you will do every day, day in and day out. (i.e.; write a blog post, shoot a video, do a podcast, post on social media, email 25 prospects, etc.)

4. Fill the middle of your day with your appointments, commitments, networking meetings, presentations, etc. (5 Ways to STAND OUT and be OUTSTANDING at Networking– FREE ebook)

5. Have a closing time for your work day so you don’t feel like you’re working all the time.

6. Design a “Bed time Routine” as well. Do the same thing, every day, day in and day out.

Successful people accomplish their goals by doing the same things over and over again.

Internationally recognized expert in time management methods and goal setting techniques, Rita Davenport, said: “You have a purpose or else you wouldn’t be alive today!”

“For I know the plans I have for you“, declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” -Jeremiah 29:11

Are you still with me?

I believe God has an individual plan for each person. Through personal development we can access our skills and qualities, discover our purpose in life and set goals in order to realize and maximize our potential.

This ‘Design Your Day’ technique is just one of the basic principles of The Lipstick Method (a transformation program for women entrepreneurs).

How to Create a Vision Board that Works!

December 28, 2016 No Comments

Want to achieve your goals? Make a vision board.

Visualization is one of the most powerful mind exercises you can do.

What we focus on expands. When you create a vision board and place it in a space where you see it often, you essentially end up doing short visualization exercises throughout the day.

So what’s the secret to creating a vision board that works? It’s simple:

Your vision board should focus on how you want to feel, not just on things that you want. The more your board focuses on how you want to feel, the more it will come to life.

Here’s an example, I have a picture of a green/white camper van on my vision board (pictured below), not because I want to own a green/white camper van, but because I love the feeling I get when I travel to new places. I want my customers to feel those same happy vibes when they come across my brand, so on the board it went.

I added a few trinkets, like a shiny ball (ornament) and my bookmark. They serve as a reminder that as a solopreneur I need to avoid Shiny Object Syndrome and focus.

A few inspirational note cards from my best friends and women I admire are on my board as well; I personally believe that their handwritten notes infuse my board with even more good vibes.

There is only one major rule to creating a vision board that works, and its that there aren’t any rules. You aren’t going to mess it up, you can create your vision board on your own terms.

What you’ll need:

A Bulletin Board (corkboard)
Scissors, push pins, glue gun
Fun stickers, silk flowers, jewels, charms, buttons, glitter glue, etc.
Magazines that you can cut images and quotes from.
Most importantly, the stuff you want to look at every day. Photos, quotes, sayings, images of places you want to go.
Time. Give yourself a stress-free hour or two to put your board together.

How to do it:

Spend time gathering images, headlines and random words; anything that catches your eye in magazines, from online sources, or anywhere that inspires you. If an image provokes a positive feeling in your body, grab it.

First, I create my push pins. Using the hot glue gun, I decorate the pins with flowers, glitter glue, jewels, buttons, etc.

Then, when it comes to actually putting your stuff on the board, lay everything out before you start pinning so you can get an idea of where you want everything.

When you finish, I would love to see pictures of your boards! Please COMMENT and SHARE below.

Cheers to a Fashionating 2017!!!

PS – I’m going to host a vision board party on the first night of my Refashion Retreat weekend in Naples, FL – (July 28-29, 2017). I know it will set the tone for the event – everyone will be more focused & less stressed after we do it. Contact Me if you want more information regarding the retreat.
