Five Things We’re Doing This Year!

By Melissa Jones 

Number 1 

We’re doing something we’ve always wanted to do but never had the confidence to do it! 2021 we aren’t playing small! We’re here to smash some goals, step out of our comfort zones and make magic happen! I don’t care if it’s big or small, just do it! I’ve always known that I’m here to do something and you know what? I still don’t know what I’m on this earth to do but I’m playing around with things that feel good and are fun. I wrote a book, I’ve started designing and selling mugs, I’m learning different ways to make other streams of income and I have faith that if I keep trying, then one day something will click. Is there something you’ve wanted to try and you’re holding yourself back? Not this year you’re not. I challenge you right now (well as soon as you’ve finished reading this magazine) to do something that will bring you closer to the thing you’ve always wanted to do.

Number 2

We’re leaving negativity behind. From this day forward we promise to leave negativity behind. Do you sometimes feel that life just keeps throwing things at you? Do you ask yourself, ‘Will I ever get a break? Why me? Not again!’ Flip the script and ask yourself, ‘What am I learning? What is this teaching me? How will I grow from this?’ And watch your mindset shift! I’ve had disaster after disaster thrown at me in the last 24 months and I look back with gratitude because I learned a hell of a lot from that, and I’ve grown and learned so much about myself too! It’s OK to let things get you down, life will always get you down, but make sure you stop and ask yourself, ‘What am I learning?’ Your mindset will be transformed. I promise!

Number 3

We’re going to fail! This one may sound a little scary and a little strange but let’s fail. Let’s have the audacity to go out there, try something, fail, get back up and try again. Everyone fails. No one is successful the first time (unless they’re really lucky). You have to fail and fail and fail in order to learn from your mistakes so that the next time you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.

Number 4

We’re hyping ourselves up. Who else absolutely hates the thought of bigging themselves up? Makes you feel big-headed? Love yourself? Good because that’s what we’re doing. We’re going to love ourselves; we’re going to big ourselves up, we’re going to believe in ourselves, we are going to tell ourselves, ‘Yes, we are good enough! We are worthy and we CAN!’ Let’s stop making ourselves smaller because there is plenty of room in this world for all our greatness!

Number 5

We’re supporting our ‘sisters’. Not only are we going to big ourselves up, but we are going to big up our fellow females (and men) and everything in-between because times are changing. We’re no longer tearing others down to make us feel better and jealousy no longer exists! We celebrate each other’s wins; we hold space and support the losses. The Female CEO is all about empowerment! We evolve, we overcome, and we do it together! See someone winning, acknowledge it and send some praise! Be vulnerable and share your losses, you never know who may need to see it! Support your fellow CEO’s by reaching out a supportive hand. We’re all in this together.

Let’s spend this year evolving, growing and becoming better versions of ourselves because that better version is out there waiting for you to claim her, so go get it!
