ecting on the events I have attended over the past several weeks reminds me the importance planning and commitment play in our success. I participated in both High School and College graduations in addition to formal Courts of Honor where the Boy Scouts highest achievement, the Eagle Award honored 4 young men.
You don’t get to walk across the stage, and receive your diploma without some level of commitment somewhere along the line. A Boy Scout doesn’t achieve the rank of Eagle without a high degree of planning and commitment. You don’t create success overnight-even though the term “an overnight success” may lead you to believe this. A successful wardrobe is not created in one shopping trip. There’s always a plan to your wardrobe success.
The Boy Scout motto “Be Prepared” says it all. I’m committed to my business, but sometimes I get off track because the plan is not being followed. So i
t is in life, to be successful and find joy that comes from success, planning comes first. Planning doesn’t guarantee your success though. You must be committed and go at it systematically day by day, week by week, month by month and so on.
As we move through life we “graduate” from certain stages and find that we can often get lost in the detail. Life gets in the way and often we lose the path that was so clearly defined. There’s always a way to find your path back! Many women come to me when they have lost their way and are trying to get back the style they once felt connected to.
Beginning their “Journey to Style” is a way to that will help them create a plan and systematically create the wardrobe that works for the life they lead today! Planning and commitment go hand in glove. My mother always said “measure twice, cut once” and it is true. Before you purchase that next clothing item ask yourself these questions:
Does it fit my body?
Does it flatter my body?
Does it feel really good on me?
Is it part of my overall plan in my closet?
Will it go with at least 3 other things in my closet?
If the answer to these questions is “yes”, then you can feel confident in adding it to your wardrobe NOW!
Commit to creating a plan for your success by building a wardrobe that works for you and you will find that you always:
“Look Good, Feel Great and Have FUN Doing It!”
