The document provides encouragement and advice for defining and achieving personal goals. It emphasizes that everyone has their own definition of success, there is no such thing as failure if you keep trying, and becoming comfortable with discomfort by pushing your boundaries leads to growth. It encourages being honest with yourself, getting excited about opportunities and achievements, taking responsibility for your own life rather than blaming circumstances, being proud of your abilities, always moving forward even in small steps, and understanding that happiness requires hard work.

1. IT’S OK
TO WANT
A BIGGER LIFE
Being ‘nice’ might be a virtue but it may deter you
from saying out loud what you’d really like to achieve in life.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to define
the rules of your own life and wanting to succeed
or to create something of your own.

2. EVERYONE
HAS THEIR
OWN DEFINITION
OF SUCCESS
Success means different things to everybody.
DrivenWoman encourages you to define, plan and achieve
your own personal objectives. Is it success? Wealth? Better relationship?
Better Mother? More patient? Lose weight? Is it all of those things or something else.
Define your goals boldly and bravely, and start your journey to a more fulfilling life.

3. THERE IS NO
SUCH THING
AS FAILURE
Our only failure is not to try. Failure is an illusion created by those who don’t dare.
Sometimes we try and fail, but we pick ourselves up and try again until we succeed.
People will try to stop us or influence us, but we understand that we are equally worthy
despite our failures. That realization frees us to do whatever we want in life!

4. BECOME
COMFORTABLE
WITH THE
UNCOMFORTABLE
It is important to constantly push yourself outside your comfort zone.
We can do this by meeting new people, going into new situations
and doing things with uncertain outcome.
We foster a love of learning and exploring new things.
Over time, this change builds confidence
and the realization that our goals are within our reach.

5. BE HONEST
WITH YOURSELF
Looking at our own challenges and shortcomings is not fun,
but it’s compulsory if we are to move forward.
When we learn to deal with our real issues rather than treat them with
false remedies, we grow stronger and free ourselves from the demands
of other people.
What is the reality you have created for yourself and how do you want to change it?

6. GET EXCITED!
To get excited about a bigger life we must feed ourselves with new influences.
Eagerly meet new people and find out about new opportunities.
It’s important to get excited about even the small achievements
and not to be afraid to share failures. You will soon find out that together
we can inspire each other to achieve even more.

7. NEVER BLAME
CIRCUMSTANCES
Don’t whine and don’t blame others. Take full responsibility for your own life.
There is never the right time and there is never enough time
or resources to start changing our lives.
It is paramount to understand what is happening in our lives is based on
the seeds we have sown ourselves.
Therefore, do the best with the resources you have been given,
or work hard to improve your resources.

8. BE PROUD OF
YOUR ABILITIES
Everyone is unique and everyone has something to give.
No one should belittle their achievements or abilities.
That would be a burden on people around you.
When you understand your own talents you can find ways to help others.
By helping others, we grow faster ourselves.
Even a failure can become an asset when shared,
thus helping others to avoid the same pit.

9. ALWAYS KEEP
MOVING
FORWARD
It doesn’t matter how slow you move but always do something
that takes you towards a more exciting future.
Set ambitious goals but realistic targets. Dissect the targets into smaller little steps
and always keep moving. Don’t try to fix everything in one go.
Break life into small manageable blocks and deal with it.
Even a small step in a wrong direction is better than no steps at all.
If you stay stationary you will never learn.

10. EVERYONE
HAS TO
WORK HARD
There is no simple answer for happiness.
Everyone has to work hard to find their own answers.
The world is full of people who promise you instant success if you only sign here,
if you only swallow this pill. We don’t.
There is no magic bullet. There is no short cut.
Work hard to improve yourself and share what you learn.
DrivenWomen will provide you with bundles of support
and discipline to create the life you want, and lot’s of fun along the way.
