YASMINE KHATER 4 Steps to Get the Most out of
your Business and Life in 2014
On 5 December 2013, we lost one of the most powerful role
models of many generations.Nelson Mandela once said, “When a man is denied the right to
live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an
outlaw.”
I believe our basic right is to live with purpose. Yes, purpose: why
we do what we do: whether to gain freedom, time for friends
and family, live our extraordinary dreams, or to make the world a
better place. If it requires us to be an outlaw, then so be it.With 2014 upon us, I invite you to look back and re-examine life and business. Where have you been? Where are you
now? And, where are you going?
HERE ARE FOUR STEPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF 2014:
- CLARITY: For over ten years, I’ve been fortunate to achieve every dream I ever wanted. I get to tick more off my
bucket list while coaching ‘wondering’ women to lead wondrous careers and businesses. Curious what the magic
formula is? It’s having clarity on what we want to achieve.
Dr. Steve Maraboli says, “People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will
often find ways to discourage yours. Live your truth and don't ever stop!”
In 2014, what do you want to achieve, where do you want to go (and who with)? What experiences do you crave? - INTENTION: is a commitment to yourself. When you put an aim to your dreams, you’re putting your desires into
verbs. Before getting out of bed each morning, I intend to have a fabulous day. It works every time! I translate
the clarity on what I want to achieve into intention, and create a daily routine to remind myself.
How can you create a frame of mind, set intentions for your life and business?
Find triggers that motivate your goals (i.e., a visual, song or mental image)
Set a daily routine of thinking about this for five minutes. - MINDSET: This year is a new start to make things happen yet it’s going to be
hard without the right mindset that supports, not jeopardises, your intentions.
A right mindset is congruent with your value system, desires and actions.
It's a balancing act. But the key is to believe in yourself and your abilities and to be REAL.
Golden Globe winning actor Will Smith said, “As soon as you say it, now you just made that real”. Remember, it
might be real, but don’t get pre-occupied and forget. Once you are clear, are you making the space to remember? - SUPPORT: Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. I’m grateful for my amazing friends, family, mentors,
colleagues, clients and the most supportive mother in the world. A large part of my personal and business success
would not have been possible without this support system (Thank You!).
What about you? Your career, dream, life is tough. When it doesn’t work out as planned, having people who push you
to achieve is priceless. Surround yourself with accountability partners for life and business - people who simply lift you
up!
