5 Habits of Successful Women

March 9, 2021

No matter what success looks like or means to you, there are certain habits of successful women that help them achieve and maintain their own success.

In honor of Women’s History Month, I am sharing my top five habits of successful women.

1. DEVELOP SMART ACTION PLANS FOR THEIR GOALS 

No matter what your goal is, making an action plan is the best way to effective goal setting. Without goals, there is no success. But, without a SMART plan of action, your goals are just hopes and dreams.  Write your goals down at the end of a timeline. Then, start filling in the blanks between where you are today and where you want to be. Think about what you will need to invest (time, body, and money) to achieve your goals and how you will achieve them. Post this somewhere you will be able to see it every day as a constant reminder and motivator

2. CELEBRATE YOUR WINS

Let’s face it, as women we were created to be a helper. So we instinctively put others’ needs ahead of our own. That includes praising ourselves. To be successful you need to celebrate your wins, no matter how small or big. Celebrating accomplishments helps to keep you motivated as you see the steps you have already overcome on your journey to success. There is absolutely nothing wrong with putting yourself first when it comes to giving praise and recognition. You can’t fill someone else’s cup if yours is empty.

3. BELIEVE YOU ARE A SUCCESS

To be successful you have to believe it. You’ve thought about the risks, now it’s time to visualize your possibilities. Think about your desired outcome and keep that in mind. Have confidence you will be successful. If you struggle with this, fake it until you make it real.  Tell yourself every day you are successful, eventually, you will believe it and that’s when the magic will happen.

4. PLAN OUT YOUR DAYS/MONTHS IN ADVANCE

Planning ahead is key to being successful. Planning wisely is even better. With planning, less is more. Prioritize by picking the three most important tasks you need to tackle that day and focus on only those three for that given day. Do the same for your month to really be in a space that’s ready to receive accomplishments. Depending on your goals and career, plan as far in advance as possible. My goal is to get to a place where I can plan at least two months in advance. With this way of planning, you are always ahead of things. If something comes up, guess what, it’s okay because you have time to adjust without getting in the way of your other goals and setting yourself behind schedule. Make time each week to focus solely on planning. That way you are always prepared, on task, and on time with your goals and plans.

5. DON’T QUIT

Above all, successful women do not quit. Now, this does not mean to keep doing something that doesn’t work, well, that would just be dumb. This means that when something goes wrong, you figure out what caused it not to work, make adjustments, and continue on doing what will make the most sense and get you to your goal. There is a major difference between quitting and moving on. If something is not working, and you don’t see a way for it to be beneficial, use your strength and courage to say, this doesn’t work, it doesn’t make sense, I’ve tried every alternative and it still doesn’t work, it’s not beneficial, I need to reevaluate things make corrections or simply move on. You will also need to be able to look at challenges with the same strength and courage, and stay committed to overcoming them when they are tough but lead you to achieve your goal. You can’t get a diamond without apply pressure to coal. It is through those challenges that we grow, become stronger, and truly learn all that we are capable of.
