Why You Need Supporters Who Champion Your Goals

Do you have a group of people that will listen to you, give you specific reasons they love you, and will tell you the truth when you ask?

Every woman needs a crew. A good crew is a group of people who:

Support you taking risks to achieve your dreams. They will never say, “What makes you think you can do that if no one else has?”  “Just do what everyone else does,”  or “Don’t take that risk.”

Prop you up when you feel like you will fall. They don’t tell you not to worry, or not to be afraid. They ask about your worries and your fears and help you find solutions. They help you prepare for success, and also assure you that if you fail, you can get up, learn from it, and be even more successful.

Hold you accountable for you’re your commitments, and don’t make excuses for you. They are willing to push you beyond what you think your limits are. Your crew will understand your feelings and then help you develop a new perspective.

In my last post, I talked about women using their power to leave environments that drag them down and serve as life obstacles.

We also have the power to seek people who cheer us on, help us solve problems, and maintain a perspective of possibilities. We can develop the habit of surrounding ourselves with people who are curious, excited about life, willing to have new experiences, and don’t feel threatened by other successful people.
