It’s so important to write the vision and revisit it in the fall to make final modifications before you launch it in January. A year in a glance- looking back at what I previously planned and pinned to my electronic device. What did I finish, what do I need to keep and what do I need to delete. Advice to self - Dr. Carmen Denise Thomas, Carmen, Girl, Sis, Honey you got this!

TONIA MYERS
Speaker|Author |Wife and Minister who teaches others to Live Life By Design https://www.take2withtonia.com/ Hello beautiful women! We have come to the close of another year. Everyone during this time is hurriedly planning for the next 365 days. As Unstoppable Women we must be intentional about how we prepare for the next phase. I would like to share with you one of the strategies that I use to get myself ready for the new year. During this time of the year, I like to take a minute and reflect on all the things that were accomplished in the previous year as well as some of the failures. This reflection can take place by reading old journals, looking at testimonials from clients, and if www.unstoppablewomensempire.com

I, however, don’t necessarily believe in waiting for the new year. I believe that everyday is a new day to do something great. I am a big Goal Setter and I like to set out my goals 90 days in advance. I’ve always been told that “Those who fail to plan, plan to fail”, and that its never a better time to take massive action. HOWEVER, when I say massive action, I mean in all areas of my life that are important to me at that time. I don't just focus on business, I focus on all areas that are important for me in that season. Those areas include business/career, family/friends, romantic, health/wellness, finances, spirituality, personal development and environment. Every three months I rate myself on all eight areas where I feel I am and where I wish to be and then subtract the two.
The top three I focus on the most. This allows me to have better focus on the things that are important to me at that time. The one thing I may do differently for the new year would be my New Year New You Conference and of course TAXES lol. However, I am a big believer in not waiting until the new year to set new goals. Do it now because tomorrow is not promised.

GIFTING YOUR FUTURE SELF! The end of the year is a fantastic time to give an intentional gift to your future self! I call it a gift to your future self because we are so often on a Next Thing treadmill, or I Don’t Have IT Yet cycle or both. For many of us, especially over the last two years, it has been a paradox of a forced pause AND attempting to keep up with the constant change…that’s a lot of emotional labor. There’s a story of an ambitious traveler who employed men of a village to go on this long trek. Each morning they got up very early, traveled very far and went very fast…this went on for several mornings. On the fourth morning the traveler woke up to his astonishment, the men were sitting under a tree. He was upset…’didn’t they know we have to get up early to travel far and go fast?’
At that point the village elder appeared and shared (James Earl Jones voice): “they are waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies.” Pausing…to reflect, revive and reawaken gives our souls time to catch up with our bodies. A dear friend, Hanna Cooper (who transitioned in 2019), shared a wonderful process and I’ve adapted this exercise into my practice in honor of her each year. The process grants us time to reflect on the closing year, garner the lessons learned and align those with your strategic vision for the coming year…. what a beautiful, intentional, and loving gift to your future self!
YES!!! I HAVE ENOUGH AND I AM ENOUGH!

Eleven 11 Events To be the premier upscale decor, design and rental firm in Michigan requires that I have a clear vision. The stage is set by developing a strategic plan. Write the vision and make it plain right? Making it plain for me is determining an action plan. The goal for 2022 is to scale my business. My first strategy was to hit the 4th quarter of “2021" with a marketing campaign for engagement season looking to attract my ideal client for 2022 and beyond. Determining where they live, the places they frequent, then being there physically or virtually via media or print.
Next, I answer a problem. Ex. Too busy to plan? Eleven 11 Events frees up your time by taking care of all the details. Solving problems adds to your like, know and trust factor. Planning my year on purpose requires me to see my business as a ministry. I am building God’s kingdom by celebrating people. It’s my gift and passion to serve through creating an unforgettable day, with exquisite designs for exceptional people.
Having a clear vision, setting goals with an action plan while keeping the core values intact as I minister through my God-given gifts, talents and continuance of education is how I intentionally plan out the new year on purpose.
FABULOUSLY DESIGNED EVENTS IN A SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE!
Eleven 11 Event’s core values of Authenticity, Balance, Creativity, Influence and Community is how I stay grounded. www.unstoppablewomensempire.com
KNOW YOUR WHY IN THE NEW YEAR I am not one to make New Year’s resolutions, as I have found that knowing my Why is really what drives me. As the chief marketing officer and chief diversity officer at LAFCU, I’ve charted my course in my career around my Why. However, nothing has made me be more clear about knowing my Why than being the chief diversity officer. This work challenges your every fiber of your being because you’re not just dealing with a product, you’re helping people and businesses become more introspective.
Your teaching people to throw out what Uncle Joe said at the kitchen table growing up, or that the off color “harmless” joke you used to laugh at with your coworker is actually harmful. You’re creating awareness around bias, inequities, and changing policies. I’ve found that when I identify a void that matches up with what drives me, then I create a lasting plan of action to unlock my Why. This is my approach all year long. For me, it can’t be shaped in a resolution, that’s not sustainable. I say uncover your Why instead of making a resolution. Why do you want more out of life, eat better, exercise, be a better friend, eliminate debt, be a better version of you? The next step in your Why discovery is working your Why. Why are you making the decision to start something new? Are you passionate about this new goal? Have you started with a plan? According to U.S. News & World Report; there’s a 80% failure rate for New Year’s resolutions, and most people lose their resolve around mid-February. https://www.inc.com/marla-tabaka/why-setyourself-up-for-failure-ditch-new-yearsresolution-do-this-instead.html This is why knowing your Why is important,

SOME TIPS TO POSITION 2022 TO BE YOUR BEST YEAR EVER We frequently hear things like "New you for the New Year". But I prefer to call it "moving forward with greater wisdom". The bad things...learn from them. The good things...treasure & build on them.
Some tips to position 2022 to be your BEST year ever. 1) Slow down to speed up. Be willing to intentionally evaluate the root cause of negative belief systems or mindsets that are holding you back. Then let them go. 2) Give yourself permission to invest in yourself! Do what feeds your soul & practice daily self-care!
7) Start somewhere (not everywhere) & don't quit! Trying to change multiple things at once can be discouraging & distracting. 8) Laugh frequently & love lavishly. 9) Celebrate your dang self. You are amazing!
3) Invest in authentic relationships with like-minded friends who call out the greatness in you, & who will hold you accountable to become the best version of yourself. Simply put, find your TRIBE. 4) Live each day "on purpose". That means being crystal clear on your divine calling & then daily walking it out with relentless passion. 5) Lean on faith. God's abundance & wisdom are FAR beyond our comprehending. Trust that you are His precious child & worthy of His favor. 6) Keystone habits. If you want a drastic shift in your peace & productivity, figure out the one or two habits that will change the trajectory of other habits & therefore outcomes. "Oh Lord, let my story bring You glory"

What I do to set the stage and plan for the New Year on purpose: www.unstoppablewomensempire.com
As an entrepreneur, I had to become serious about achieving my goals. I had to make my goals a priority in order to produce results. This included letting some things to go for a season, delegating smaller task to free up the time I needed for larger task, and making sure I stayed focused throughout the year by strategizing, planning, praying and consulting with God. "Commit to the lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." I make every effort to set up systems to measure my progress by implementing measurable action steps for success. Lastly, I believe you have to become intentional on building your own personal tribe of women that share your values and stimulate your growth. Groups like Unstoppable Women's Empire have been that anchor for me.
IT'S GOOD TO BE BLESSED. IT'S BETTER TO BE A BLESSING.

UNSTOPPABLE WOMEN'S RETREAT HIGHLIGHTS
Having a platform to be my authentic self has always been of significance. Being with likeminded women who can help me truly see and accept myself has awakened my courage to just be me. I’m so thankful for Unstoppable Women’s Empire and Transformation Gems. I can be myself and be ok with allowing others to be their true authentic selves. Giving support and getting support from others is refreshing. Not having to worry about comparison or competition, instead we encourage each other to start and continue towards greatness! Dr. Carmen thank you for your obedience and for giving us the space to be ourselves, grow and learn from one another. The retreat revived my authenticity and has set me ablaze to continue the “unstoppable” journey. Blessings

It was such an honor to be invited to such an event that was put together with such love. Dr. Carmen Thomas, LOVES to love on women and empower them to be better and greater. The speakers gave powerful messages to the queen's in the room. The sincere sisterhood that I experienced really eased my anxiety. There was such a freedom in the atmosphere that was set for us. Women's lives were changed right before our eyes as the presence of the Lord was truly thick in that place. The catering was prepared with love and we could taste it in every bite! The gifts that were given were designed specifically for each woman that attended. I am soooo thankful that I was invited and able to experience sisters that love God and love each other. Thank you Dr. Carmen Thomas for allowing God to use you yet again to minister to the needs of women. May God bless you 100-fold for alllll the lives you have touched and sown into.

Connecting with Dr. Carmen Thomas of Unstoppable Women's Empire (UWE) has been quite rewarding by globally connecting us women with various experts such as: bankers, business attorneys, accountants, social and digital marketing consultants, and the list goes on and on. She affords us with the opportunity to glean from these professional individuals via a monthly ZOOM call to develop and establish a sustainable and thriving business, which has been extremely helpful. Dr. Carmen’s superb insights on what it takes to construct and conduct a viable business from the ground up is just amazing. She masterfully pulls out of you, your gifts, talents, and abilities to help you realize what you have inside of you is valuable and marketable as she strategically shapes, molds, and transforms you into the Unstoppable Entrepreneur that you are called to be.
Additionally Dr. Carmen equips you with all the tools and resources you will need to propel you forward and upward in your business and it is worth far more than the initial investment. She gives you the leverage it takes to help you level up and perform at your maximum potential and beyond. She is an excellent mentor, but we must utilize the outlets she has provided for us to excel with excellence through marketing our businesses in the impeccable Quarterly UWE Magazine. Therefore, no one should fail with everything she unselfishly provides for each woman to succeed as Unstoppable Women's Empire. Dr. Gloria Pearl Jones
