Our minds can be tricky things. We dream and imagine what we want our lives to be like, the businesses we desire to build, or the reach we want our teachings to have, yet we often create a myriad of excuses that prevent us from taking action. In order to live out the life you’ve imagined, you’ll need to take consistent action towards actualizing your dreams.

In my consulting practice with emerging female leaders, I’ve spotted a bad strategy trend among clients: relying on your partner, best friend, a couple of work colleagues or even your parents and siblings for feedback and suggestions.The point is this: You've gotten this far, achieved this much because this is as much as you and your inner circle have been able to imagine for you.
