Live your Plan A

July 2, 2009 By Monica S Flores

“Make it a lowercase ‘A’ if you have to, but live your Plan A. Anything else belittles the importance of life.” – Vin Diesel, actor

Lately I’ve been musing on my own quality of life and what it means to me to be alive. Every day when I wake up, I am so grateful and thankful for yet another opportunity to do what I love. As I understand it, if I’m still alive, then I still have work to do. If you’re still alive and if you’re reading this blog, you have work to do — your work is still in process… and I don’t mean dreary, rote, office work, but the actual work of crafting the life you were born to live.

Each of us has unique gifts and talents, and our mission while we’re here on the planet is to live our lives in a way that expresses and hones that unique skillset, than only we have.

Most of the women in business that I know, as well as the women who aspire to start, run, and own their own business, have clear goals, ideas, beliefs, and values. Many women in business realize that their ability to succeed in business is unlimited — they have unlimited potential and unlimited earnings, it is only a matter of laying out the groundwork and walking the path, finding good help and relying on good friends along the way.

My intention for writing about business is to empower, educate, and connect with more people than I directly work with in my own consulting practice. In this vein, I will be consistently focusing on the internal process you go through as you build your external world– that of your business, life, and relationships.

If you are new to business and you want to learn more about best practices, or if you are more established and want to participate in the discussion, I invite you to bookmark WomenonBusiness.com and share your opinion.

There are many voices in the world, but only you have your own life and work experience.
What have you learned so far?
What will you share with the rest of us?

Live your Plan A in your business and your life, and please tell us how it’s going for you.
