The days of ‘kissing’ your way to the top are gone. At least for smart women who know the consequences of doing it otherwise! 5 paths to achieving:
  1. Give it away. Let someone else do it. What’s it? Whatever you want it to be. Make a list of ALL the tasks – work or home- that you hate, have not time for, or could care less about. Now, assign, hire out or delete each task. Sound too hard? Then the pain hasn’t gotten bad enough.

  2. Count Your Blessings. Know who’s for you and who’s against you. There will always be the naysayers so eliminate them from your life. If you have too many naysayers in your life, read this.

  3. Know Your List. These are a few examples of your ‘lists’:
    Things To Do Today list
    Things My Hubby Needs To Do (today) list
    What My Team Has to Do list
    Items To Share list
    New Projects list
    Follow Up list
    Your Bucket List
    Once you start making lists that matter you will find no end to what can go on a list. Also, put your list activities in order of importance. AND remember, achievement means doing the things you DON’T like to do as well as the things you do like – keep it balanced.

  4. Make Time. Waiting until you have time to ends up being having no time. You need to take charge of your time. Realize that time doesn’t belong to anyone. Time can be either your friend or your enemy – you decide.

  5. Balance Your Life. Balance is about how you live life. It’s not how you juggle but balance. Picture in your mind the juggler at the circus. What is he doing? Tossing, throwing, never having contact with all the balls at once. Is that what you want? Now, picture someone in the middle of the teeter totter? Which do you see yourself doing?
