Co Authors Karen McCullough and Meredith McCullough's book The Seven Women Priojcet introduces readers to the Seven Women inside each of us. The more that we go out into the world and talk to women about their seven, the more we find that women are drawn to more than just one of these fabulous women. And that’s no surprise. Depending on the situation, we may pick and chose the qualities, talents, and even strategies that we need to put our best self forward. That said, however, deep down many of us do find that there is one woman (or two) that we naturally turn to again and again. She is our core, and we celebrate her!
Talk amongst us and please join the conversation
- Reading the SWP did you find you were drawn to one woman more than the others? Which one? Why?
- Have you ever had a “Kate or Donna” moment? For example - “This weekend I had such a Hanna-morning. I didn’t get up until noon!”
- Think about your closet. It is said that we wear 80% of our closet 20% of the time.
- Does your 80% correspond to one of the SWP women?
- Does your core woman have a shopping “habit” that has you addicted to buying the same look over and over?
Take The Seven Women Test! It's Fun!
The vision board is one of The Seven Women Projects #2 woman- Zoë’s favorite DIY projects. Crystal Washington knows that it's a great tool that helps you get clarity around what it is that you really wants in your life. Building a vision board helps whoever is behind the visioning wheel clearly identify and describe her dreams and desires, and gives her the ability to manifest what she wants in her life. By naming the vision, by releasing it out into the universe, the idea is that the power of the vision will attract into her life these desires, making the dream a reality.
Creating your vision board is energizing, creative, fun and easy. So get out the scissors and glue stick it’s creatin’ time gals.
What you need:
■ A collection of magazines, catalogs, photos, images from the web
■ A photo of YOU
■ One large poster board
■ Scissors (round tips please)
■ Glue stick, rubber cement or tape
■ Variety of markers, crayons or finger paint.
Five Easy Steps to a More Visioning You:
Step 1. Set 45 to 60 minutes aside! Put on some soothing music, close your eyes and set your intention. Take some deep breaths and let go, clear your mind of the clutter, and focus on you and what you want. Let the images come into your mind and be with that for a moment.
Step 2. Begin by flipping through the magazines and start tearing out images and words that resonate with you. Have fun with it. Make a big pile of images and phrases and words.
Step 3. Go through the images and begin to lay your absolute favorites on the board. Eliminate any images that you do not absolutely love. Here is where your intention comes into play. What is it that you really want?
Step 4. Glue yourself in the center – focusing on what YOU want and then glue everything onto the board that is about YOU. Add writing if you want.
Step 5. Hang your vision board in a place where you will see it often.
Make it happen.
I got an email on Friday from a woman (that I did not know) who runs the training department at a local college here in Houston. The college books business trainings and seminars for corporations and local businesses. (I need to know her!) She wanted to see my availability for a speaking event here in Houston the end of this month.
She said that the client wanted a FUN program and added that the word F.U.N. stumped her. She did not know of any programs that were fun so she asked around and she said that my name came up over and over again! Hmmm... I guess I am known for FUN. We met with the client and they not only booked me for that one event but for several more in future.
Being known for something is a good thing. In The Seven Women Project, Donna, the Master of Personal Branding asks, "What are you know for?"
The quickest way to find out is to ask.
Try this... Ask your friends, coworkers, and customers the following question: "Using as few words as possible, how would you descrive me to someone who has never met me?"
Are you brave enough to ask?
