Swayed by the newest items? Enticed by the pretty packaging? Who isn't?! As women, we love new, pretty things that catches our eye.

How are you spending your time? Just like money, time can be spent and because you can’t get it back you want to make sure that you are using it wisely. Have you ever heard of the Fringe Hours?

When I think about my biggest fear, I think about the idea of failing. Somehow common fears like the fear of never getting married, rejection, or change never trumped my fear of not being successful. I’m sure that many of us can relate. The idea of not making it in life is a terrifying thought. To think that we work so hard and put so much time and effort into building or creating a “successful” life only to never make it is quite devastating. The question is, why do we find that so horrible? 

The best way to stick to any new habit is to make it a lifestyle change. How many diets or exercise kicks have you experienced to discover a few weeks later that you were a little overly ambitious?

Your money mindset is how you think and feel about money and the way in which you approach it. You all know now the emphasis I put on manifesting a positive mindset.

How many of us are comfortable with having to wait for something that we really want? I’m pretty sure that the answer is none of us. As a society we want instant gratification. That is why everything is optimized for quickness and efficiency. There are microwaves, downloads, internet, food, and even fast fashion. We want everything quick, fast, and in a hurry. 

As goal and purpose driven women we have a desire to do our best and succeed. Unfortunately, these desires and goals sometimes give rise to unwanted stress and overwhelm in our lives. We have so many things that we are aspiring to do and don’t know how those things are going to happen. 

Many of us cringe at the thought of peeling our eyelids open and prying ourselves out of bed, but this is the life of a self-starter. A self-starter is a person who capitalizes on every moment of her day. She wakes up with the intention of moving one step forward than the day before.
