1. FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
This is the number one goal every woman should set! Whatever your dream might be, this is the time to follow it.

As a woman your intuition is always turned on and is your guide. Let your vision of the future be your intuitive guide to follow your heart & soul’s desire.
If you have a journal or calendar, you might want to start making a note of your goals every single month, this way you’ll never forget what you want to be working on and what truly drives you to wake up in the mornings.
2. TRAVEL ALONE
Our time here on Earth is limited. See and experience the world as much as you possibly can. You don’t need to travel far, you can travel to places you’d never thought of visiting and still have your mind blown. When you travel alone you grow and develop into a more well-rounded person by seeing different perspectives and learn to trust yourself fully and face all of your fears. Traveling not only broadens the mind and opens your life up to new experiences, but it’ll also help you to relax, and unwind. Why not use your next weekend to visit the next town over or go on a train journey? Get creative and treat yourself! The more things you do that force you to go out of your comfort zone, the better.
3. HAVE A SAVINGS GOAL
Every woman needs a SAVINGS! It’s always time to start saving for something big. Whether it’s a vacation, a designer bag, or a mortgage downpayment. Make a commitment to yourself and stick to your budget. You’ll be surprised at what can happen when you commit to it for even just a few months of the year and will be able to treat yourself with what you truly want once the year is over and your goal is complete!
4. START INVESTING
Did you know women are likely less to invest than men? Investing is important for women to be able to achieve a sense of financial equality and independence. Investing can you set you up to reach your financial goals faster and set you up for retirement! In our mind, investing should be a ritual like any other that we undertake. Make a habit of putting money back towards your future, even if it’s a small amount. Educate yourself in investing as much as possible and talk to a financial planner. Ellevest is a great app you can download and sign up for that teaches women how to invest and sets you up with a financial planner.
5. INVEST IN A LIFE COACH OR JOIN A MASTERMIND
While investing your money is important, investing in yourself is even more rewarding especially long term. When you invest in A life coach, or even a self-help course, whether it be to release your blockages or fears, create deeper intimacy, how to become a better CEO, or a mastermind or marketing course, you are 100% setting yourself up for success. When you join a Mastermind group you can not only create new friendships with like-minded people but also have the motivation and help from strangers to keep you on track to accomplishing your goals. It’s really powerful to have someone guiding you step by step so that you can be the best woman you possibly can be.
6. BECOME MORE DISCIPLINED
If you want to achieve anything, you need to become more disciplined. That means you need to start giving yourself a strict schedule, strict deadlines and sticking to them. Start by creating a disciplined morning routine to start your day. You can start with a meditation, a work out, waking up at the same time every morning, taking vitamins, setting intentions and affirmations for the day.
Then create a monthly overview and mark all your important dates and deadlines, that’s often not enough for keeping you on track though, which is why the in-depth daily overviews will help you remember to stick to those deadlines and plan your day hour by hour.
7. CREATE A CHAIN
Create a chain for yourself to make sure you actually achieve everything you put your mind to. There’s a popular method that says if you do one small thing every single day for 30 minutes, you will be amazed at the progress you’ll make. Maybe this year you overcomplicated your goals, maybe you need to take it back to basics. Work out every day for 30 minutes a day. Write 30 minutes on your blog a day.
Study a new language for 30 minutes a day. Committing to one thing every day and creating a chain will help you smash your goals faster. Mark each day in your journal and don’t break the chain.
8. INVEST IN SELF CARE
Take care of your body by investing in weekly or monthly massages, therapy sessions, energy work, spray tans, hair appointments, or a spa day. When you invest in your self-care your ability to love yourself deepens and your confidence grows. Plus your mind, body and soul will thank you for it!
9. READ MORE
All millionaires read A LOT of books! To help you develop, you need to read more. Read self-help books, books on business, cook books, books on health & wellness, biographies, and even magazines. You need to read as many things as you possibly can on the subjects that you are interested in or want to learn more about. Get some new information and refreshing perspectives. Reading is also good way to improve your intellectual side, gain knowledge and build your conversation skills too.
10. VOLUNTEER
Why not volunteer for a cause you love or for a local organization in your area? Volunteering at a hospital or a homeless shelter can be enlightening experiences that build your compassion and empathy for others. Help out at your local animal shelter! Not only are you contributing to society and your community you also are doing good for others out of the kindness of your heart. This gift will always be given back to you in some magical form from the universe. When you give from the kindness of your heart you also feel a deeper form of fulfillment.
11. FALL IN LOVE - WITH YOURSELF
Every woman is pressured to fall in love - but what if society told us to fall in love with ourselves first? Imagine if we put ourselves first and served ourselves like our ancestors have served their spouse. Put all the love and energy you would into a relationship back into loving yourself! When we are fully in love with ourselves we aren’t searching for love to fill our void. And when we find love that love is as pure as it can be because no voids are being filled.
When we love ourselves we also gain confidence. Confidence is quiet, insecurities are loud. Love yourself by learning to be more confident in your own skin. Love is kind, love is trusting, love has no expectations, love is present, love is unconditional. Be kind to yourself, trust yourself, let go of the expectations you have of yourself, be present with yourself and love yourself and your body unconditionally!
