Hello Loves,
It’s your favorite Business, Lifestyle and Fashion Blogger!!!
Well it’s been a long time coming. I am sitting here like, “Wow when is the last time I have put out a business blog post.” You guys know that I love the business of creating businesses. As we round up 2017 and move into a new year, I want us to look back so we can do more forward thinking.
Forward thinking is the most important tool you can take into 2018 with you. I created a challenge to end the year. It’s a mindset challenge. What would happen if you really could put on your blinders and focus on what you mentally take in and can achieve.
Here are my list of rules for my Boss Girls for the next cycle.
1.) Go bright or go home.
Going bright means several things. First you want to let your sparkle shine bright. Even when you think no one is watching, they are. Wear bright colors, smile, put on a red lip. Get your whole self together.
2.) If you don’t get “Why is everybody doing/selling….?” then grind a little bit harder and get more visible. In my last rule, I stated that they are watching. How can someone ask you this question if it’s not happening? Trends are trends for a reason. Life as well as business happens in cycles which of course produces trends. Trends produce opportunities. If you continue to watch the opportunities happen, then you are aren’t being a productive citizen in this world.
3.) Build your digital Skill Set.
It is definitely an overwhelming thought, I know. I mean you can literally learn a new skill on a daily basis. None the less, as the boss, you have to make sure you are learning new technical skills daily, or you are aware of the new skills out there so someone on your team is aware. Either way, Be In The Know!!
4.) Add one more stream of income before the year is out.
Every Entrepreneur on this planet, needs to have multiple streams of income. As you build an empire, you should require this of your team as well. They can bring so much to the table. We are moving into a realm where work days will be shorter and more creative. The office will literally be everywhere and so will the consumers.
5.) Become more visible.
If you are asking yourself, how? My basic answer would be to blog more, talk more, go live more and record yourself more.
6.) Think globally.
How in this day and age can you not? Social apps have allowed us to become global consumers, friends and entrepreneurs. Just embrace it and spread your glitter.
7.) Save as much as possible and bootstrap it.
I am learning this the hard way. When I was younger I used to envision myself as this corporate woman with all of these employees building my fashion empire. Now it probably looks more like a small team of creatives with a common goal.
8.) Record it!!!
I am learning this the hard way. But transparency is the name of the game. To win you have to be present. To be present, you have to have have evidence. The evidence is in the video!!
