In this blog post, I’ll help you achieve 3 major things.
- To Understand what it means to be PHENOMENAL.
- To Understand exactly what it means to be a heart-centered PERSONAL BRAND.
- To show you 10 steps, including what you stand to benefit by making your personal brand more heart-centred.
But first, I’ll like to ask…
- What is your Vision?
- What is your Ambition?
- What do you want to be remembered for?
It becomes necessary to remind you of the fact that none of us can get out of this life alive so there’s a need to develop the Hunger to find and play your part before the time is up.
And what this requires is a SENSE OF URGENCY that reflects in the way you live and work.
WHO IS A PHENOMENAL WOMAN
I looked up the synonyms of phenomenal and they include:
- REMARKABLE.
- EXCEPTIONAL
- EXTRAORDINARY.
In essence, a phenomenal woman is a remarkable woman, an extraordinary woman, an exceptional woman.
- This means that she’s not the ordinary, regular or typical type of woman.
- And this doesn’t in any way suggest that a phenomenal woman is PERFECT.
- It simply means you have intentionally chosen to use your imperfections as the building blocks to a remarkable life.
- A life with a difference.
A typical example of a PHENOMENAL WOMAN is the Proverbs chapter 31 woman who’s been given to us as a prototype.
HERE ARE SOME BASIC TRUTH
- God has equipped you with everything you need to be remarkable and different just like the prov. 31 woman
- You don’t have to look else where
- The safest place to look is on your inside.
- Your true beauty shines from within.
HOW TO BECOME A PHENOMENAL WOMAN
- BECOME CONFIDENT.
You need to live with the consciousness that you possess an inner beauty which is the foundation for great accomplishments.
This will help you develop confidence in your ability to make the right choices and decisions irrespective of what everyone else is doing.
Try not to define yourself by your shape, height or size because your true beauty is rooted, not on anything superficial but on God.
- BECOME RESOURCEFUL
Stop being laid back and you need to stop giving up easily in the face of intimidating circumstances.
Unlike the ordinary woman who lacks courage to go after her dreams, it’s time to go after your dreams so you can motivate, inspire and influence others as a result.
Start leading from the front and understand that the only mandate you need to lead is your passion for change.
Push for success in a subtle manner, expanding as you move forward, so as to take up space.
- MIND YOUR BUSINESS
To be phenomenal, you simply need to become an expert in minding your business.
Right now, the hunger to understand your role in the world and tackle it should pre-occupy you.
This isn’t a time to look around and distract yourself.
The task of creating a significant life is heavy already and you don’t want to add to it.
Just be focused on improving yourself and building the life you want to experience while making a difference in the lives of all who come across you.
