This thought came to me this morning when I was trying to write some text for the new StyleYOUniversity site.  Have you ever really thought about this?

This question honestly has everything to do with EVERYTHING.  It works for writing a book, buying a car, house, setting financial goals and yes, even creating a wardrobe.

You see we can always make things better.  It’s when you are in the process of achieving these goals that if you sidestep and change course barriers to success begin.

It’s one thing to be working toward a goal, but something altogether different when change keeps getting in the way of achieving that goal.  Having pondered this long and hard I came up with these ideas that may help you move forward, achieve that goal and allow yourself to tweak things along the way.

1. Begin with the end in mind (know what the end looks like to you and define it).
2. Back up from there and physically write down everything that you think it will take to get there.  Do you need shoes, suits, dresses, lingerie, hangers, shoe boxes, etc.  EVERYTHING.
3. Decide what your current budget will allow?
4. How much do you think it will cost to get there?
5. When do you want to have it complete?
6. Know what change is acceptable (you may not be able to purchase all the shoes or the color you have decided to work on isn’t available  right now)
7. Be flexible with your date of completion (you may find that “life events” get in the way-it’s o.k. to move the date)
8. Know that it is a process.
9. Set weekly, monthly and quarterly goals based on your personal time frame.
10. Do have fun with it, because it is all a learning process and the more invested in the process you are, the better the outcome will be!

Above all, lighten up a little bit.  Don’t be harsh on yourself when life gets in the way, just stay focused and look at the list again and check things of along the way.  You’ll feel wonderful about the process and you’ll:

“Look Good, Feel Great and Have FUN Doing It!”
