Step 1 to Your Success - Imagine
The idea that Imagine is the first step in becoming more successful should not be a new concept to you. But do you do it? Do you Imagine what you really want? Do you Imagine how you want to be living your life? So often we get stuck in what we are doing and just accept that this is our success. You are pretty sure you want more. Do you really believe that you can have more? Unless you are really lucky, you won't get more unless you know what more is! Step #1: Define What Success Means To You.

Step 3 to Your Success: Manage - Plan your Imagine
This step can be one of the hardest steps - if you make it that way. The goal is to keep it simple. Don't overthink it and get bogged down in every little detail. This is important. We are not building the space shuttle. We are building dreams. So let's stick to that, deal? Okay, let's revisit our Imagine. To make this as simple as possible, I will use an example from something I've done - travel. After I was just finished with college, I met some Brits abroad. They were traveling around the world for a year. That immediately became my Imagine.

Step 6 to Your Success - Enjoy! from The IMAGE Success System
Part 6 of 7 of The IMAGE Success System (Imagine, Manage, Act, Grow, “Enjoy!”) The next step to your success is #6 - “Enjoy!” If you recall, step #2 was also “Enjoy!” because you needed to document what you wanted to ““Enjoy!”” as you accomplished tasks in the Manage, Act and Grow phases. Now it's really time to Play Big! We are going to add a third level of ““Enjoy!”” to your list. In step #2 to your success, you wrote down two levels of “Enjoy!” - "almost free for me" for small task accomplishments and "spa-like for me" for larger milestones.

Step 7 to Your Success - The IMAGE Success System Review

The return doesn't have to be monetary. It just needs to somehow show results! The ultimate result is to get to the third level of Enjoy! Let's recap The IMAGE Success System by using this template (hint, it can be used for your next Imagine...) Step #1 - Imagine - Be Clear:r

One Secret of Success
One Secret of Success What is the glass ceiling? If you look it up online, the generic description will be that it is a metaphor used to describe invisible barriers that prevent women and minorities from advancing to the upper level of management. Did you know that women make up 46.7% of the labor force? Of that, a little over 50% of those women make up management and professional positions. However, only 14% are in executive positions and less than 3% are in a CEO position, according to research done by Catalyst. That is so low that you can almost count them on your two hands.r
