The July Issue // Features // Be Your Own CEO

How To Be Your Own CEO

I am the CEO of Bankable, but I didn’t get here without starting somewhere.  I took a lot of steps to get where I am now. The first thing you need to do is be the CEO of your own life. To take steps to achieve greatness in you. 

Every week I will feature a new step on how to build your way to being your own CEO.  I want you to comment below on your progress.  Update your profile and talk about how you’re doing! I’ll be checking up on you!

 

Step One…

Take a moment.  Everyday take a moment to reflect on your day. Did you miss out on an opportunity for something? Did someone else steal your thunder? How about making plans? Did you let a friend decide what movie to see even though you really didn’t want to go see it? Think about all the things you need to change to take charge of everything you do.  In order to run your own business, you need to run your own life.  Write it down in a journal/your phone’s memo pad/post-it notes/etc EVERY DAY. This will help you with step 2…. Check it out next week!

Fierce & Love!

Tyra

My gift for her was a song I had been learning for two months specifically for that night. I got everyone quietened down (finally after 2 hours), and sang for my mama. I got my moment to shine, but so did Mama on her day.

I am taking time for me and considering my employment options. I am planning on going to school in the fall to take my 'french second language'. I am also seeing a chiropractor and working out at the gym. It's all about me now...for a change.

I mentioned in my bio that I want to be a wedding planner and I have been doing some things that are necessary. Then I looked back at a list of things that I thought I should do and realized that I am stuck because I said I wanted to lose some weight and dress the part. It is impossible to really move on with this (so it seems) until I get those things done. So I am trying to concentrate more on portion control and counting calories. And I have to consider exercise, but I seem to only be able to do one thing at a time.
