It's that time of year again! Time for fierce feminine leaders to take a step back and reflect on the year they have had in 2016. Time to make plans for the upcoming 2017 year, envisioning the big goals they want to achieve for their business or career and map out how they want to achieve those goals. Keep Reading >> So, over the course of the next few episodes, I want to help you map out your success strategy for 2017 through a few "mini trainings" that will help you make 2017 your best, most productive year ever! If you've listened to episode 101, you'll remember that I shared how my fierce team and I was able to achieve all of our goals this year and the productivity secrets we used to get it all done – all while juggling our everyday life commitments and responsibilities. Today, I want to share with you 5 tips we use to improve our commitment level to help us stay on task, stay motivated, and just get things done. When it comes to integrity – your word is your bond. Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: Everyone has wishes for their business or career – but without commitment, it doesn't evolve into an actionable goal. Don't live in a state of "wish-hood." Create an action plan to turn that wish into a reality. The difference between the ladies that make things happen and those who keep wishing things would happen – is commitment. Commitment gives you purpose. It gives you something to drive toward. 5 Fierce Ways to Increase Your Commitment Level: Prune First – Make space for good things to happen. Take a close look at what is no longer serving you. Make Use of Visual Anchors – Visual reminders are a constant reminder of what you have committed to. They keep your goals at the forefront of your daily planning and strategy, making you more likely to achieve those goals. Make a Public Announcement – Telling people about your goals helps you become more committed to them and feel more accountable about fulfilling them. Take Decisive Action – Decide to make a significant investment in achieving your goals. Manage Your Thoughts – Especially the thoughts you have related to risk and fear.

Are you a high performing women leader who might be standing in her own way and not seeing a professional or personal breakthrough? I've taken hundreds of clarity calls over the last couple years with women who have high potential, are high achieving, and looking for a breakthrough. You aren't the only fierce woman entrepreneur who has something blocking their breakout result. As a coach, mentor and thought partner, one of the key things, as I do, is to reframe thought processes and perspectives so the indomitable women I coach make peace with the noise between their ears and accomplish what they aspire to do and be. Do you envision taking your seat at the table, fast tracking into the CEO spot, double your sales or make an enormous difference people's lives? Do you want to create breakout results? On today's episode, I enthusiastically encourage you to stay in a place of action, so you move forward and step out of your own way by reframing your beliefs. "We are as a group wealthy powerful and educated, so we have an immense opportunity, and if we are aware of it, we can use it for social good in 2017."
