Your Action Is Needed!

Ready. Set. Goal!

Hey Beauty Pro,

Why do we place so much emphasis on goals?

Goals are an important first step to help you get things rolling!

Now, all of this sounds great except for the one BIG mistake that many of us smart people make at this point. Since we feel like we are making progress by goal setting, the truth is that while planning and strategizing sets things in motion, it's the deliberate action that actually brings results. So let's face it, goals really don't mean anything without an action plan or action. They are just thoughts or a desire to have something you don't yet have.

Here's the thing about goals:

☀️ Goals give you clarity

☀️ Goals push you to take action

☀️ Goals challenge you to be accountable

☀️ Goals give you a reason to elevate your skills

Have you ever tried to reach your goals without an action-plan in place?

And, I know firsthand how difficult it is to move from planning to practice.

Here’s an example: Let’s assume you love chocolate, my guilty pleasure!

GOAL

✅ You want to eat healthier

✅ Stop eating chocolate

✅ Lose 5 pounds

ACTION-PLAN

✅ Remove chocolate from pantry.

✅ Sign up for a gym membership

✅ Replace chocolate with healthier snacks foods

ACTION

✅ Don’t eat chocolate

✅ Exercise 3x’s per week

✅ Eat healthier snacks

Your action -plan should include the following:

✔️ A Clear Timeline

Have you set a clear and realistic timeline? It starts by understanding the scope of your goals and what it will require of you each step of the way.

✔️Resources

Do have the resources to help you take specific action?

Ex: Saving the money needed to take a class if your goal is to sharpen skills, or hiring the right person for a role at the workplace if the goal is to make things run more efficiently.

✔️Specific Tasks involved

What will it require of you to reach the goal? Additional training, removing distractions, staying focused leveraging your time.

✔️Accountability

Who is holding you accountable and helping you reach your goal? Do you have a colleague or friend that you can lean on? No matter how driven you are, it’s helpful to establish a few individuals whom you can emulate, who will inspire you to persevere or hold you accountable.

Remember, a plan without action is just a goal or desire to have something you don’t yet have.

As for me, when I walk down the candy isle at Publix and my significant other tells me I look great the way I am, I can only blame myself for putting the chocolate back into the shopping cart! It isn't easy to hold your self accountable. Life gets in the way, limiting beliefs set in and I can go on an on, which is why chocolate has once again found it's way back into my pantry.

NO ACTION = GOAL NOT ACHIEVED.

Here is what we covered:

😜 Develop clarity around your goals, whether they be small or bigger goals.

😜 Create the action plan needed to reach those goals.

😜 Commit to set your plan into action!
