Small Wins = Big Power

 The Science behind Small Wins

Psychologists and motivational experts emphasize that progress, however small, builds self-efficacy—your belief in your ability to succeed, setting bite-sized or micro-goals, as behavioral science tells us, keeps you in action instead of stuck in overwhelm.

And when life feels chaotic, focusing on micro wins helps you regain control without needing a life reboot.

We often think change has to be big to matter. New job. New house. New version of ourselves that suddenly wakes up at 5 AM to meditate, run, meal prep, and somehow become a superhero before breakfast. But here’s the thing: those “big life overhauls” often flop—not because we’re lazy or broken, but because they’re just too much, too fast. 

Real, lasting change? It’s built on small wins. Tiny, almost laughable victories that seem too small to matter… until they add up and you realize, “Oh wow, I’m actually becoming who I wanted to be.”

Think about it: the first step to running a marathon isn’t lacing up your sneakers and sprinting twenty miles, it’s walking around the block without wanting to throw your shoes in the trash. The first step to writing a book isn’t writing 100,000 words—it’s opening your laptop and writing the first sentence.

 That’s the magic of small wins. They’re doable. They’re encouraging. And best of all, they don’t feel like climbing Mount Everest barefoot.

Why Small Wins Work Like Magic

Your brain loves progress. It really loves it. When you complete something, even something tiny, your brain releases dopamine. That’s the feel-good chemical that makes you think, “Hey, I like this. Let’s do more.” So when you tackle a small, achievable goal, your brain rewards you and builds the momentum to tackle the next one.

It’s like giving yourself little confidence snacks throughout the day. You don’t have to wait until the “big win” to feel proud. You get to feel that spark every time you tick something off your list.

Over time, those sparks turn into a fire. And that’s where the real transformation happens.

You can have a look at this journal that helps you log and celebrate micro wins every day. Think of it as your personal cheerleader, but who needs this journal?

Anyone who dreams of progress but gets stuck in perfectionism or overwhelm. Folks who struggle staying motivated, procrastinate, or feel disconnected from daily growth. If you want more joy in your routine, more clarity in what matters, and consistent evidence that you’re moving forward—this journal is made for you.

 

1. Morning Kickstart

Write one tiny micro-goal to accomplish today. Nothing extravagant—maybe “Answer one pending email,” “Take a 10-minute walk,” or “Write 100 words.” Set it up with a playful checkbox for that sweet dopamine hit.

2. Midday Check-In

Pause, breathe, and jot down just one thing you’ve actually done. Add quick notes on how it boosted your mood or reduced stress. Even a small step matters.

3. Evening Reflection & Wins Bank

This is the magic zone: reflect on three small wins of your day—yes, every day. Maybe you handled that awkward call, cleaned your desk, or made time for lunch. You’ll feel proud—even proud-er than relieved

4. Weekly Power-Up Page

At week’s end, review all your mini-wins. Notice patterns. Acknowledge what lit you up. Plan one reset strategy for the week ahead. A short gratitude prompt helps too.

The Problem with Chasing “Big Only”

The trouble is, we’re wired to look for giant results. We scroll through Instagram and see people posting before-and-after pictures of their six-pack abs, their massive business launch, their dreamy new life. We rarely see the dozens or hundreds of tiny steps it took to get there.

But here’s a secret: those “overnight successes” we admire? They’re just small wins stacked over and over again, sometimes for years.

When you focus only on the big wins, you set yourself up for disappointment. It’s like planting a seed and expecting a fully grown tree the next morning. Instead, if you celebrate the tiny sprouts, watering it today, seeing the first leaf tomorrow, you’re much more likely to keep going.

How to Make Small Wins Work for You

Instead of saying, “I need to get in shape,” make it: “I’ll walk for 5 minutes today.”
Instead of “I’m going to organize my whole house,” make it: “I’ll clean one drawer.”
Instead of “I’m going to eat perfectly,” make it: “I’ll drink one extra glass of water.”

Small wins don’t ask you to be perfect. They just ask you to start. And when you start, you create momentum. And when you have momentum? That’s when life starts changing.

A Little Tool to Help You Stack Your Wins. Now, here’s where I let you in on something fun: I’ve been using a Small Wins Tracker Journal, basically, a playful little daily log where I jot down even the tiniest wins I have.

It’s not about planning every second of your life. It’s about noticing what’s working, feeling proud of yourself, and building on it. Sometimes my wins are big (finished a project), sometimes they’re small (didn’t hit snooze twice). Either way, it’s proof I’m moving forward.

The best part? Looking back at a week’s worth of wins feels like finding treasure. It’s impossible not to think, “Wow, I’m actually doing a lot better than I thought.”It's real. It's me.

You could write these in a notebook, on sticky notes, or use a digital template like the journal I made (it’s editable in Canva and printable if you’re old-school like me), the editing is optional. The format doesn’t matter, the noticing does.

Why This Journal Works

• Recognizing small wins releases dopamine and reinforces positive habits.

• Self-efficacy grows when you log real progress—even if small.

• Task-snacking, builds forward momentum without burnout.

  

  
  
  
  

• Just one small success after another rewires belief from “I can’t” to “I can do this”.

• You’ll see what lifts you up and what drains you, even in tiny ways.

• Real, measurable momentum from daily micro progress.

• Clear visibility of your growth—even when you feel stuck.

• An internal feedback loop of confidence, motivation, and progress.

• Positive emotional uplift at bedtime (because guilt-free reviewing feels amazing).

Friendly Advice: Use It Like a Game

• Keep it visible—stick it to your fridge, mirror, or tablet nightstand.

• Celebrate even the smallest wins aloud—yes, tell your cat.

• Invite a friend or partner to use it too, mutual encouragement is powerful 

Ever notice that a tiny victory, like clearing out your email inbox or finishing that first email draft—can feel strangely euphoric? Science backs it up. Research shows that celebrating small wins activates the brain’s reward system, releasing dopamine and fueling motivation, confidence, and resilience. So yes, crossing off minor tasks isn’t vain, it’s powerful momentum magic. Tiny progress matters, a Small Wins Tracker Journal can help you transform your day

By tracking tiny achievements and recognizing their worth, you turn micro-action into mini celebrations, and those add up to unstoppable momentum.

The Ripple Effect of Small Wins

Here’s the wild part: when you start collecting small wins, you stop needing constant motivation. You start believing in yourself because you’ve got evidence you’re showing up. That confidence spills into other areas of your life.

Maybe you started with a 5-minute walk, but now you’re walking 20 minutes without thinking about it. Maybe you started by drinking more water, but now you’re cooking healthier meals. Maybe you started with one drawer, but now your whole space feels calmer.

Small wins are sneaky like that. They don’t just make you feel good in the moment, they set you up for bigger wins without the overwhelm. So, Here’s Your Challenge. Don’t overhaul your life today. Don’t write a list of 50 things you need to “fix.” Just pick one thing you can win at today. One thing. Then notice how it feels.

Tomorrow, do another one. Keep a record, digital, paper, whatever works, and let those wins pile up like coins in your personal progress piggy bank. Soon, you’ll realize that the “big power” you were chasing was never about one giant leap. It’s about hundreds of tiny steps that you took without quitting.

Small wins are the bricks. Big power is the house you build with them. And the best part? You’re already capable of starting today. If you’d like a little nudge to make it fun, I’ll share my Small Wins Tracker Journal with you, it’s simple, and designed to make celebrating your progress feel addictive (in the best way). But whether you use that or a scrap of paper, the point is the same: small wins aren’t small at all. They’re the secret to everything.

So go ahead. Drink that glass of water. Send that one email. Take that deep breath. Because today’s tiny win, it’s tomorrow’s big power.

Start small. Feel proud. Keep going. The big results will follow.

You’re Not Broken — You’re Becoming

 

Life's challenges don’t mean you're broken — they signal transformation. Across top personal development websites like Zen Habits, Impact Theory, and self-improvement forums, the message is clear: growth isn't about fixing flaws; it's about evolving into a stronger, more aligned version of yourself. The Truth Behind "You’re Not Broken — You’re Becoming".

Psychologist Carol Dweck’s work reminds us that people with a growth mindset believe abilities can evolve through effort and learning, every tough day you push through is a sign of your resilience.

This shift in perspective — from brokenness to becoming — is the emotional foundation of meaningful growth.

Why Mapping Your Energy Matters

Without awareness, we drift through the day reacting to situations instead of steering our energy. That’s where the Personal Energy Mapping Journal comes in, a digital tracker designed to let you map, reflect, and adjust your energy in a powerful way. It lets you align your inner state with your outer actions.

 

 How It Works — Your Energy, Mapped

• Morning Intention: Begin with clarity by answering, “What energy do I want today?” (e.g., creative, calm, focused, confident).

• Midday Check-In: Rate your energy level on a 1–10 scale and note shifts — was it a tough meeting? A walk outside? This becomes your emotional roadmap.

• Evening Reflection: Answer prompts like “What fueled me?”, “What drained me?”, and “What shift could help next time?”. Capture one small win and one lesson learned.

These simple prompts, grounded in lessons from motivational leaders like Tony Robbins and Lisa Nichols, help you connect emotional insight with intentional action.

Practical Benefits

• Gain clarity on what energizes and drains you — and why.

• Improve focus, creativity, and daily motivation by aligning tasks with your energy flow.

• Reduce burnout by identifying reset strategies that actually work.

• Build self-compassion by tracking micro‑wins and real lessons.

• Develop a positive growth mindset rooted in data, not guessing.

Real, Gentle Transformation

Instead of chasing a huge life overhaul, this journal helps you become, one intentional day at a time. You don’t need to be perfect. You need to be reflective. You need consistency. The energy mapping process is your gentle yet powerful mechanism for progress. Feel free to take notes and create your own journal. This article's purpose is to help you improve, the difference is that this journal is created to ask and require specific answers suggested by the world's best leaders in personal development.

From teens navigating stress to professionals seeking balance, this tool is universal. It helps everyone track, reflect, and evolve with more self-awareness, a tool that helps you rewrite your story, from stuck to evolving, from overwhelmed to aligned.

Discover Your Inner Power with Insights from Personal Development Icons

 

From Lisa Nichols’s transformation of millions through inspirational workshops and community building  to Tony Robbins’s focus on mindset shifts, constant improvement, and actionable strategies like C.A.N.I. (Constant And Never‑Ending Improvement), personal development is both an art and a science. 

Whether you're inspired by Oprah Winfrey’s authenticity, Les Brown’s motivational storytelling, or Eckhart Tolle’s mindfulness teachings, all top personal development leaders share one big truth: growth happens when insight meets action.

How to Turn Inspiration into Practical Change

Instead of consuming endless motivational content, try transforming ideas into personal breakthroughs. That’s where your Personal Energy Mapping Journal comes in. This isn’t just another planner — it’s a guided tool designed to help you track emotional highs and lows, clarify your daily intentions, and map out the energy you need to show up fully in life.

Here’s how to use it:

• At the start of each day, jot down one key intention (e.g. “This afternoon I’ll practice deep listening”).

• Throughout the day, note how your energy shifts — when you felt grounded, scattered, or inspired.

• At night, reflect: What fueled me? What drained me? That insight becomes your energy road map.

According to Robbins, success isn’t about eliminating struggle, it’s about learning from it and iterating with intention. Your journal empowers you to do exactly that: identify where you thrive, where you falter, and how to adjust over time.

With consistent tracking and reflection, your energy becomes data — guiding you toward choices that feel aligned, sustainable, and empowering. It’s simple, powerful, and effective for anyone, at any age.

Act with Purpose Lessons from Lisa Nichols 

                                                                          Lisa Nichols often reminds us: “When your clarity meets                                                                                               your conviction and you apply action to the

equation, your world will begin to transform before your eyes”. Her teaching encourages us to feel our emotions, embrace resilience, and then map a path forward. That’s exactly what the Personal Energy Mapping Journal helps you do—turn feelings and intentions into daily action.

Over time, Lisa also emphasizes the power of micro‑wins, tiny victories that build momentum. She calls it self‑enrichment: creating thousands of small successes to gradually unlock a bigger shift in your life. In your journal, you can note daily energy highs and small wins, and keep moving forward with gratitude and insight. It’s not about huge leaps—it’s about consistent, deliberate steps.

 

Mastering Your Energy: Tony Robbins’ Teachings

Tony Robbins teaches that energy is everything and that state management is the key to peak performance and emotional resilience. He says, “When you control your emotions and energy, you stay calm under pressure, make better decisions, and maintain focus on your goals”. This deeply practical approach can be supercharged and clear with journaling.

Use your Personal Energy Mapping Journal to track how your emotional and physical state shifts through the day, when you felt stuck, drained, or in peak flow. 

Then use simple strategies like shifting posture, breathing, or movement to reset and raise your energy. Over time, you’ll refine what grounds you and what derails you.

A Practical Guide on How to Use the Journal

• Morning Entry: Begin with an intentional question—What energy do I want today? Be specific: creative, calm, focused, confident.

• Midday Check‑In: Rate your energy level (1–10), note any major shifts and why they happened—client call, difficult email, a walk outside, etc.

• Evening Reflection: Identify at least one small win and one lesson. Ask: What helped me feel strong? What drained me—and what shift could help next time?

 

That consistent structure turns emotional experience into actionable insight. 

 

And just like Lisa Nichols teaches about clarity → conviction → action, and Tony emphasizes managing your emotional state, your journal becomes the practical bridge between intention and transformation.

 

 Why It Works for Everyone

No matter your background or experience, energy is universal. Teens navigating stress, mid‑career professionals looking for balance, retirees dreaming of purpose—they all benefit from clarity around what gives them strength, and what depletes it. Your Personal Energy Mapping Journal is accessible, practical, and motivational, whether you're just starting your journey or scaling up.

Lisa Nichols’ teaching shows us story and emotion matter. Tony Robbins gives us tools to shift state and persist. Combined, they show: growth isn’t reserved for the “special.” It’s built when small, real shifts are tracked and applied. And that is what this journal offers—daily clarity, daily wins, daily self‑validation.

So lean into your own energy story. Use this journal to track, reflect, and pivot when needed. Turn inspiration into transformation. Your self‑awareness becomes your strategy. Your consistency becomes your momentum. And your mapped energy becomes the most powerful guide you own.

The Honest Truth About Start over again anytime/relaps (That Nobody Talks About)

 After working with hundreds of women on their personal development journeys, I've noticed something important about starting over that most advice completely misses.

Let me share what I've learned from real experience, not theory.

The Foundation Most People Skip

Before diving into techniques and strategies, we need to address the underlying beliefs about starting over again and again and again. Many of us carry assumptions that actually sabotage our progress.

Here's what successful implementation actually requires:

• Realistic expectations, progress isn't linear or Instagram-worthy
• Personal adaptation, what works for others may not work for you
• Patience with process
• Flexibility because rigid approaches often backfire

 

• 

Three Approaches That Actually Work

The Micro-Integration Method

Instead of overhauling your entire life, identify the smallest possible way to incorporate the weak point(s) into what you're already doing.

This might mean practicing mindful breathing during first thing when you wake up or setting boundaries in one specific area before expanding to others. This made a huge difference in my life.

The Energy-First Approach

Your energy levels dictate what's actually sustainable. Rather than forcing yourself into someone else's system, design your daily tasks, around your natural rhythms.

This is where The Personal Energy Mapping Journal becomes valuable. This thoughtfully designed tracker helps you identify your optimal times for different types of activities, making your efforts feel natural rather than forced.

The Progress-Over-Perfection Framework

Perfectionism kills more good intentions than laziness ever could, that's why the best way is to focus on consistency over intensity, and celebrate small wins consistently.

Track your efforts, not just your outcomes. This shift in perspective maintains motivation during challenging periods.

Common Obstacles and Real Solutions

When motivation disappears you want to have a backup plan that requires minimal energy. On tough days, doing 10% of your ideal is better than doing nothing.

When life gets chaotic, return to your core essentials. What are the 1-2 most important elements that maintain your foundation? Just sit there until you have 1-2 answers at least.

When progress feels slow, write down the subtle changes, this is so important because often, internal shifts happen before external results become visible.

For comprehensive support through these challenges, I recommend The Productivity Powerhouse Journal, it specifically addresses the emotional and practical obstacles that derail most personal development efforts, with real strategies for maintaining momentum through life's inevitable ups and downs.

 

 

Your Personal Implementation Strategy

Choose one element from this article that resonates most strongly with your current situation. Commit to experimenting with it for the next two weeks.

Remember: the goal isn't to perfect your approach when starting again anytime immediately, but to develop a sustainable relationship with growth that honors both your aspirations and your humanity.

Your future self will thank you for starting exactly where you are, with exactly what you have, right now.

The Benefits of Planning

 It’s never too early to begin planning how health benefit plans will be designed and paid for, and what role you, as an employer, will continue to play in the process. 

A culture of entitlement exists when it comes to health benefits, and it is safe to assume that costs will continue to rise. 

Expect increases that average about 15 percent but may go as high as 50 percent. Maintaining the status quo will not do. 

There needs to be a synergy between employer-sponsored plans and an employee-pay-all philosophy. 

The key to finding a palatable medium between cost and benefits is early planning. 

There are several things you, as the employer, can do to facilitate this process. 

Examine your company’s status. 

Look at your bottom line, projected profitability, and a projected health benefits budget. 

Know what you have previously spent and have to spend versus your projected cost. 

This will provide a better target goal for what you can offer your employees. 

Conduct a mid-year assessment. 

Measure your health benefits budget against your usage. 

Capturing your usage mid-year paints a clearer picture of what your cost might be if you stick with an existing plan and/or carrier. 

Partner with your existing carrier. 

Ask it to provide possible solutions as you begin to plan for your next benefits cycle. 

Because you already have a relationship, it will be willing and able to help you design a customized plan. 

Research the marketplace. 

While many things — such as consumer-driven health plans, flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and health savings accounts (HSAs) — can help reduce costs, there is no silver bullet. 

Rates are competitive, so employers should exercise due diligence to come up with a strategy that works. 

Explore a wide variety of offerings. 

There are many plans you can buy into to fit your needs and pocketbook. 

The more choices employees have, the more customized health benefits can be. 

A single employee does not need the same type of coverage as a family. 

A healthy employee may find peace of mind with hospital-only or supplemental coverage. 

Some prefer higher premiums and lower or no co-payments. 

Others would trade a higher co-payment for a lower monthly premium. 

Kids-only plans are available with some carriers. 

Welcome FSAs and HSAs. 

Each has its shortcomings; it can be difficult to estimate how much to set aside for health care. 

And while these spending accounts are gaining in popularity, they are not perfect. 

An upside of the FSA is portability. 

The downside is that unused money cannot rollover. 

The HSA has a rollover, but it is not portable. 

Educate your employees. 

Part of any strategy should continue to be employee education — not only as it relates to the cost of care, but also how it relates to the company’s bottom line. 

As a stakeholder in the company, employees should be well-informed about the impact health care has on the "health" of their company. 

Using health benefits wisely is the best way to ensure an employer can continue to offer them. 

Involve your employees. 

Share information through news articles and materials from your carrier. 

Encourage employees to participate in wellness and prevention services, including annual physicals, health risk assessments, plan of treatment compliance, and medical management programs. Active involvement will positively impact your cost. 

Survey your population. 

Do you know how much your employees are willing to share in the cost of having health benefits? 

There is a school of thought that as employees increasingly share in the cost of health insurance, health care costs will begin to stabilize. 

Increasing cost-sharing can be a painful yet necessary task in responding to skyrocketing health care costs. 

While affordability is a key element in providing health benefits, the use and employee management of those benefits are vital. 

Developing and implementing a health benefits contribution strategy that can work for you takes time. 

Today is as good a day as any to start.

Attitude of Gratitude

 An attitude of gratitude? People often think it will come from having some great luck or fortune. 

Of course, it could feel great to win the lottery, and great friends, money, houses, travel - these are all good things, but not enough by themselves. 

The right frame of mind is necessary to fully enjoy life. You need an attitude of gratitude.

Gratitude 101

Your life is better when you feel blessed when you can look around and say "Thank you, God," or "Thank you universe."

 Whether or not you are religious, when you see life as a wonderful gift, your experience is a richer one. 

Imagine going through life like you're a child, and every morning is Christmas. 

Of course, it is easy to think that gratitude comes from having what we want. 

We might imagine ourselves giving thanks if we had money, a loving family, and maybe a house on the beach. 

But we know there are ungrateful, unhappy people with these things. 

We also know that there are poor people full of gratitude for what little they have, so where does this feeling come from?

Creating Gratitude

An attitude of gratitude arises from how you look at things. 

It is the natural feeling that comes when you recognize the real value of the people and things in your life. 

Focus on the good and you cannot help but have a better attitude and experience of life. Gratitude, then, is something you can encourage, something you can learn.

The first step is to stop and smell the roses. How can you be thankful for something you don't notice or enjoy? 

By the way, roses really do smell great.

The second step is to make this appreciative approach to roses and life a habit. 

You don't need to ignore the ugliness in the world. 

Just consciously choose to see the good and beautiful things, until doing so becomes automatic.

One way to encourage this habit is to start writing down every positive thing that happens to you, and all the things you like. 

Continue this until you start automatically seeing the good things in life. 

If you've ever bought a white car, and started seeing white cars all over, you know-how awareness and focus can alter your perception of reality. 

In the same way, once you are aware of the good, and start looking for it, you'll start to see wonderful things all over. 

Simple exercises like the one above train your mind with time. 

When you are in the habit of "counting your blessings," gratitude and a much richer experience of life is the natural result. 

You will have an attitude of gratitude.

Avoid a Life of Regrets With Your "Yes List"

 How many times have you told yourself "yes!" today? 

Not enough I bet. 

Yes is the most powerful word in the English language. 

Unfortunately, too many times we say yes to others when we should say no. 

At the same time, we continue to tell ourselves no when we need to say yes. 

You deserve to create the life of your dreams. 

Period. 

The first step on that road is to learn to tell yourself yes before you say yes to others. 

One big reason so many people don't like their lives is that they accidentally created a life that's not based on what they want. 

How did that happen? Pretty easily and unconsciously. 

If most of your life isn't how you thought it would turn out then you haven't figured out what you want to say yes to in your life. 

This doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you a typical twenty-first-century human whose life is filled with distracting details and tasks. 

Random decisions lead us down random paths with random endings we don't want. 

When you know what you want to say yes to then your life begins to change drastically. 

Why? 

Because anything that comes up that's not on your "Yes list" is an automatic no. 

How helpful is that? Very helpful. 

This allows you to cut out time that gets wasted on activities you don't need to do. 

For example, let's pretend Grace's yes list includes things like reading, having a clean house, taking care of her kids, exercising, being healthy, enjoying her job, and connecting with her friends. 

So today, like every day, Grace is bombarded with choices. She gets to work and someone generously brought in a huge box of donuts to share with everyone. 

She thinks one would taste good and she wouldn't mind a sugar rush to get her day started. 

Should she eat it? 

Not if she's saying yes to being healthy. 

That yes cuts out the possibility of junk food and helps to prevent a future morning in the mirror asking "How did this happen to me?" 

Later in the day a friend calls and invites Grace out to dinner at 9 p.m. 

Grace says no to dinner out because she ate out last night and doesn't want the extra calories among other reasons that don't fit her "yes list". 

But then she says yes if her friend will come over to her house at 7 instead of 9 so she can have a healthier meal, be with her kids, get to bed early enough to not be tired at work, and to live within her "yes list." 

Do you get it? 

The point is that if your yes list has "start my own business" at the top then you say no to anything that doesn't support it like too much television viewing, playing video games every day, joining a softball league, etc. 

Once you make your "yes list" and then prioritize the list you'll be in the driver's seat as you drive through each day making choice after choice after choice. 

You'll be conscious about what you want and you'll be doing what you need to do to get what you want. 

Your future mornings with the mirror will see you smiling and thrilled with your life. 

This way you won't end up at the end of your life wondering "what if?" 

Even better, you won't be complaining about what you should've, could've, or would've done. Instead, you'll be basking in your accomplishments and living the life you love.

Body Language - How to Behave to Get the Job

 

When you are at an interview, you may not be aware of this but your interviewer is observing your body language, very carefully. 

 Your body language says a lot about yourself, so you need to control negative body movements and encourage positive body movements and habits. 

 Humans naturally send and receive nonverbal communication; they have been doing so since the beginning of time. 

 When your girlfriend folds her arms but has a smile on her face, are you not wondering what she upset is about or clammed up for. At an interview, you never want your body language to contradict your words, this makes you appear like a liar. 

 

The first impression or the first few minutes of your interview are the

 most lasting.

The Handshake: your hands should be clean and well-manicured, and free of perspiration. 

 You want to allow the interviewer to initiate the handshake, which should match the interviewer in firmness, do not give a firmer handshake than them. Smile at the interviewer and look them in the eyes. It should last between two to five seconds. When departing the interview, the handshake may last longer, smile, and lean forward as you shake.

Here are a few things you will want to avoid at an interview:

• Clasping your hands behind your head
• Adjusting your tie constantly
• Slouching in your chair
• Pulling your collar away
• Picking at your face or outfit
• Tight smiles or tension in the face
• Little eye contact
• Wrinkling your eyebrows
• Rapidly nodding your head
• Any nervous tics
• Crossing your ankles - means withholding information
• Crossing your legs away from the interviewer- toward is ok
• Crossing one ankle over the other knee
• Crossing your interviewers' personal space
• Avoid grinning idiotically
• Gnawing on one’s lips absentmindedly
• “Faking” a cough during a tough question
• Folding or crossing your arms
• Avoid compulsive jabbing the floor or desk with your foot
• Loud, obnoxious laughter

21st Century Business Women

 

When the first generation of women entered the workforce in earnest in the 1970s, they succeeded in the only way they could – by imitating men. Authoritarian leadership and tight control was the hallmark of that day’s businessman and women were not exactly welcomed into the ranks of management.

 Well, ladies, that was yesterday and today is today!

Forget what your mama or your boss told you because following the rules can be bad for your career. Today’s CEO/entrepreneur can no longer tap his/her company’s full potential using a “command-and-control” style. 

 The 21st-century businesswoman needs to be able to build a vision based on the awareness of economic transformation, then help her partners and staff fulfill that vision. She must draw on a wide range of skills to get to the top and stay there. 

 

Following are 7 Key 

Characteristics that are essential:

1. Sell the Vision: A leader with a fresh, independent plan for her company’s growth and future has a distinct advantage in luring and keeping great talent and investors. Vision is not some lofty ideal, but an obtainable concept that is easy to understand and will make the company grow to another level.

2. Reinvent the Rules: While women have traditionally been socialized to please others, the 21^st century leader knows that good girls rarely post great returns. The strong managers/owners today not only anticipate change, but they also create entirely new organizations that respond to shifts and search for innovation.

3. Achieve With A Laser Focus: Go where others fear to tread! Being aggressive and ambitious has long been considered male traits, but they are key qualities for new leaders. Today’s businesswoman has the ability to home-in on opportunities that others may simply not see, and then excel in that uncharted territory.

4. Use High-Touch in a High-Tech Era: When a number of leaders are conducting business by e-mail, voice mail, passwords, and PINs, the female entrepreneur succeeds because she guides with a strong, personal, bed-side manner. Today’s businesswoman is just as technologically savvy as her peers, but her skill with staff and customers are “high-touch” which gives her a critical edge and separation from the “pack”.

5. Challenge or Opportunity? – Women are great at turning a challenge into an opportunity instead of using the “slash-and-burn” approach. They are able to make bold strokes, but they also win the cooperation of others in the organization in making any transformation a success.

6. A Customer Preference Obsession: In this information age which makes it easier to shop around for the best “whatever”, businesses must work harder to give people what they want before their competitors do. There is no substitute for spending time with clients to become experts at their businesses and learn their demands. Female leaders are almost intuitively adept in doing just that, and without the client even suspecting.

7. Courage Under Fire: Show me any career woman or female entrepreneur today that isn’t able to “stand-the-heat” in any tough-call situation. Their decision-making skills are rooted in a high level of confidence, because they’ve had to weather and surpass any and all “corporate” storms they’ve encountered over time.

It takes a certain mind-set and bravado for anyone to start their own business and succeed, but it’s even more difficult for a female entrepreneur. 

 Let’s face it, ladies! 

 We’ve always had to be twice-as-smart and twice-as-confident as any male counterpart in the corporate world. After all, if we can bear and raise the future generation, how can running a successful business scare us?
