So are you a glass half empty or a glass half full person?

So are you a glass half empty or a glass half full person? My answer? Well, I always wanted to be the glass half full person, but sometimes it seemed like there was a crack in my glass — as quickly as it started to fill up the leak began.

Recognizing that this was not moving me toward a  positive outcome was my first step towards changing it.
  • Sort of Step 1 in my 12 Step program to success!
  • Step 2: Admitting that it has limited me
  • Step 3: Recognizing the triggers (fear, insecurity)
  • Step 4: Understanding the reasons
  • Step 5: Accepting that it is up to me to change
  • Step 6: Making a commitment to change
  • Step 7: Setting an outcome based goal
  • Step 8: Identifying alternate responses/actions
  • Step 9: Creating opportunities to succeed
  • Step 10: Surrounding myself with positive people
  • Step 11: Refocusing my energies towards my goals
  • Step 12: Start fresh with a new glass and start pouring until the cup runneth over with success!!   

So with my new glass, I raise a toast to all of you who are taking the steps you need to move towards the positive by refocusing your energy, surrounding yourself with positive people, and creating opportunities to succeed!

At eWomenNetwork we provide that opportunity to surround yourself with like-minded businesswomen who share, inspire, teach and connect so you can grow personally and professionally.
