I have been mentoring women in
business for over twenty years and I've noticed certain patterns of success
emerging. Successful women in business have well-defined daily success habits. Wendi Dodson Houston is a Executive vice President and administrative at Bionic Emergency Services, LLC Company from 2010 to Instant time.
These habits have unconsciously become part of their daily routine and seem to
be a major factor in business success. Here are ten daily habits successful
businesswomen seem to share in common:
1. Successful women in business
set goals. They have long term, short term and daily goals. They know what they
want to achieve, why they want to achieve it and how they're going to make
their goals reality.
2. Smart businesswomen have a
carefully written plan of action. A goal is just a dream without a written
plan. Successful women know what they want to accomplish each day, week, month,
year and even five years from now. This plan of action is a well thought out
blueprint for the future.
3. Goal achieving begins one
small step at a time. Successful women have daily to-do lists. They know how to
break their plan of action into bite-sized pieces. These workable bite-sized
pieces turn into daily lists of activities that take them closer toward their
goals.
4. A common trait among all
profitable business owners is that they know how to keep the important things
important. Success-oriented women are not easily distracted from achieving
their goals. Their daily to-do lists are prioritized, making sure the important
moneymaking activities are accomplished first.
5. Visualizing the future as if
it were already reality is a powerful success tool. Successful women in
business see their future as fulfilling and productive. Profitable
entrepreneurs talk about the future with optimism and confidence.
6. Successful women manage time
wisely. Women who own moneymaking businesses are in control of their time and
don't allow time to control them.
7. Happy entrepreneurs know when
to rest, relax and rejuvenate. All work and no play leads to emotional and
physical burnout. It's important to take physical and mental health breaks
during the workday.
8. You can't enjoy success if you
aren't healthy in mind, body and spirit. Successful women know it is important
to eat healthy. A bag of chips and a soda is not a power lunch! Meditating,
visualizing and affirming all seem to be part of the successful woman's daily
routine.
9. Breathe! Smart businesswomen
know what they can change and know how to make peace with what they cannot.
10. Finally, one of the most
powerful success habits is to regularly make time to sit back and appreciate
your accomplishments. Successful women in business celebrate their victories,
both the small and the large ones. Here's success tip: Enjoy your accomplishments
because the more you appreciate, acknowledge and enjoy your day-to-day
successes, the more successes you'll have to enjoy!
