THE REINVENTION WHY EVERY WOMAN NEEDS ONE By Ariel Shaw, MBA
As a woman, simply changing your lifestyle, negative habits, or negative surroundings will allow you to reinvent yourself. Sometimes those habits may not be deemed as negative, as a reinvention does not require an item to be negative. However, one has to ask themselves,”Am I At My Highest Level?” If that answer is no, one must take inventory and adjust accordingly. Do you realize that most businesses do not fail because of the start up phase, but they fail because of their inability to reinvigorate and transform----and scale. This concept is exactly the same for your personal life. If you do not evolve, you will die spiritually. Your gift and what you were destined to do, destined to create, destined to lead, and destined to birth---will die. Your purpose in life must be pursued with an urgency. Every woman at a point in their lives, must determine when their reinvention stage exist. They must be able to quiet the noise around them to be able to hear and understand what phase of life they are in. And then move.
Life is about experiencing new and exciting moments. Therefore you must apply that same mindset to your personal and business life. I am at a reinvention stage and so is Southern Crescent Women In Business. The assessment to ensure that I am doing what I love and what is needed for greatest impact is what I am evaluating. While we are at a peak, it is important to ensure the mission and values remain, and that we are aligning with individuals who want to see myself and the organization strategically grow to new heights. einvention requires one to adjust items in one’s life that no longer benefit them. The dictionary defines it as “the action or process through which something is changed so much that it appears to be entirely new.” As a woman and as a business person, this concept is vey important. As business women, we never want anything to become stale or too repetitive. Life is about experiencing new and exciting moments. Therefore you must apply that same mindset to your personal and business life. Before you decide what needs to be altered, changed, or removed, you must conduct a hard assessment at what is working and the value, if any, that it brings. As women, most of us are natural nurturers and givers. Some give more and those individuals are those that benefit most from a reinvention and reassessement, to ensure that they are not feeding or contributing to a non-reciprocating hole. Once assessed, finite action is required.
What God has for me is so vast, that it is important that I am not limited from people, their small thinking, or their jealous ways. I pray that you are a part of this new phase, but bid you well for those who do not make the journey. This is personal.
