Are you hanging with rachet people with no direction?

Let’s get to it.

Have you noticed yourself questioning your circle of Friends. Do you find yourself thinking why am I friends with this person? She keeps up drama, is way to concerned with other people (not in a positive way) and has no direction and aren’t trying to find away to a better life. 
This happens to all of us at some point. We begin to wonder how the behavior of our friends and family reflect on us. Yes I said family because family will hold you back from your greatness just as much as strangers. 
This light bulb usually goes off when we decide that we want better for ourselves. Naturally we look to someone for advice but when we notice that everyone we hang around is sinking in the same boat as us we start thinking what the hell have I been doing all these years. 
It’s a necessary slap in the face that will motivate you to seek mentors and friends on higher ground. Slowly but surely you’ll see what you’ve been missing and gradually move away from people that don’t support your progression. They may start calling you  stuck up but it’s a price all great people must pay. Don’t start acting funny like “You hoes ain’t on nothing” but express your goals to them and welcome them to join if they are serious about achieving goals. 
Life has away of clearing your path of distractions once you’ve made the decision to better yourself.
Many will be happy for you. Soon you’ll be the inspiration for others to break out their comfort zone, prompting them to get their life together. 
Well, I hope this was tad bit helpful and you can look forward to more live and direct entries like this one. Mrs. Chanel AKA MommyMakinMoves has found her lane.
Get your mind right and the rest will follow. 
Joyful Tuesday 

3 Tips for Articulating Your Dreams & Goals

Slang is cool in the proper atmosphere, cursing should be limited to the people that know the real you. Speaking as if you have no home training in public is a no no. If you don’t know who you’re in the presence of, I suggest you close your mouth. Your next boss or business partner maybe standing next to you. Would you do business with you ? Would you take yourself seriously? People shouldn’t have to dig deep to get to the real you, that should be evident during the 1st impression. Reality check: If you can’t articulate your views, goals & achievements in Standard English you’ll remain right where you are.

Tip 1 – Be knowledgeable

Know what you’re talking about. Study the industry you one day hope to dominate. When it’s time to talk about why you’re interested in that field of interest there should be no hesitation on bright eyes and a eager heart.

Tip 2 – Think Before you talk

This is an age old saying that has not failed me yet. Think carefully about what you want the person you’re speaking with to know. You may have some great ideas that now everyone needs to know. Be protective of your genius. Learn their background and credentials before you lay out your life plan. Here’s a simple format for expressing your career aspirations – When you started. Where you started and Why you started

Tip 3 Live the Dream

The best way for people to see how serious you are about your aspirations is to live it. Show people that you’re working on perfecting your craft. Rather it is blogging, writing a newsletter to friends and family, networking with like minded people or posting your current projects on social media. People want to see progress not just hear about. Suggestion: Create an online Portfolio of your work. My online portfolio is the Rise2Power Project website. People can see what I’m doing.

Your goals are achievable but you must be able to express yourself to others. There is a time and a place for everything. A College education isn’t needed to attain your goals but self education is a must so people don’t get over on you. Become an expert and no one can lead you astray. You have to be the business person, artist and your own marketing team.
