1. Preparation is key: Whatever it is you want to achieve. Do you want to be a photographer? Or a fashion mogul? Research on it, do your findings, know what it takes. If it requires you to study then study. You will be surprised at the amount of information you can get on Google. Pinterest as well. I remember when my son turned one month I wanted photography inspiration on what to do, so I went on Pinterest and boom the ideas were over flowing,So be prepared, stay prepared you never know when an opportunity will come running by, you don’t want to be caught unawares, you want to be ready. After all it is said that success is when opportunity meets preparation.
2. I believe in myself: you know that preparation is futile if you have no trust in your capabilities. Whatever it is you are going for doesn’t have to be perfect, start from where you are and it will grow into perfection. Experience they say is the best teacher. What distinguishes a professional from an amateur is Experience. So imagine if that mentor you see in the limelight did not take the first bold step because she did not believe in her strength. She did not think she was enough. Just imagine.. The first step to anything is for you to believe you can do it. Little doses of effort is what matters to exceed your expected height. Leverage on your strength and be a master of it. Your belief determines your action and your actions determines your reality.
3. Positive mindset: It is one thing to believe in yourself it is another thing to believe in the process. Sometimes what stops you is not your doubt in yourself it is your doubt in the process. From the word go you already doubt that it will work. Having a positive mindset will definitely turn things into a positive outcome. Believe your goal is achievable.
4. I weigh my possibilities: The other day I was on the phone with a very close friend, she is an interior designer, she wanted to know if i thought it was a good idea to send her designs to some celebrities. And I said, yes girl go for it! My babe knew as well that it was a great idea, but she was worried her designs will be rejected. So this is what I told her, I laid out the possibilities of the outcome if she goes ahead with the proposal, they either say yes, or say no or not even respond to you. And from these outline I only see a gain no losses because if they say no or don’t respond you will assume you didn’t send the mail. Now what if they say yes.. Whatever you choose to do weigh your options, “I’m I going to win by doing this or I’m I going to lose” it’s always good to be open to all the possibilities so that no matter what you get, it will not hinder you from taking the next step. Know that even when you receive a no or a closed door it should not stop your shine. If it is an investment you are looking to doing, speak to your financial manager to know your options or even if you are caught between going to school or investing your time in a business, weigh your options. Always exhaust all your possibilities before making a choice. But make a smart choice.
5. It’s okay to be scared: whenever I’m in a border-line space “can I or can I not”, for example let’s say I’m a poet but nobody has seen my work, because I’m afraid people will see it and not like it, what makes me eventually take the plunge is l tell myself this great poet, for instance William Shakespeare who is widely regarded as the greatest English writer and the worlds greatest dramatist or Emily Dickinson who wrote unique poems, they would not be known today as great if he/ she had kept their work for themselves because they were afraid the world will not like it or accept it. You know, when I mentally picture a great man or woman as a novice in the beginning it makes me realize that it’s okay to be scared or unsure in the beginning in as much as you don’t stay scared or even if you are still scared just do it scared.
