Getting healthy is very important if you want to have a long lasting life. I am a very ambitious person so being able to plan and start my business is very important and I don’t want my time on earth to be cut short because I’m not healthy. In high school I was apart of the women’s basketball team so I didn’t have any real health problems because I exercised everyday for 2 hour, but once I graduated my workout regime went downhill. Beginning this December of 2016 through February of 2017 I plan to get back healthy by:
1. Visiting my doctor to figure out any health concerns and recommendations on what I should do to become healthy.
2. Setting a weight loss goal which would be 10-20 pounds off.
3. Getting on a diet plan, cutting out all fast food, snacks, and fatty foods.
4. Going to the gym 3 times a week Monday – Wednesday for 2 hours.
5. Getting friends and roommates to join for a little encouragement.
While completing a SWOT analysis of myself I realized my weakness is communication. In order to be successful in my career industry which is retail I have to communicate with customers and employees in order to move up in a company and to acquire many skills and opportunities when its time to start my own retail store. Communication is very important in management and business. In order to better my communication I plan to
1. Attend more social events
2. Require myself to meet and socialize with someone new everyday. I have to know their name, where they from, and one fact about them.
3. Introduce myself to someone new with my 30 second elevator speech which includes my name, where I’m from, and one fact about myself.
4. Talk and communicate more with family and friends
5. Get a job in the retail industry where communication with customers is important.
Carelessly spending my money is one of my major weaknesses and threats. I love fashion so clothes, footwear, and clothing accessories is my major weakness, many times I have spent my whole paycheck shopping. I realize that carelessly spending can be a huge problem financially in the business world and personal life. If I cannot learn how to properly spend money how can I run a successful business or even try to save or get investors for my business. Starting this December I plan to start budgeting by:
1. Getting educated on how to budget. Take a class
2. Reduce outside dining
3. Save 10% of all money deposited into my bank account
4. Go shopping for clothing and footwear once a month with the max spending of 200 dollar.
5. Separate my needs from what I want. Prioritize
Time management has been a problem for me since the beginning of time. In middle school I was put into a program for middle school students who have a problem with attendance and tardiness to prevent parents from going to court and high school got better but the tardiness was still a problem. Sometimes I procrastinate and wait last minute to do assignment or get ready for place or things I need to do. I plan to improve my time management by practicing these 5 steps for the past 3 months:
1. Get a schedule planner. Schedule task
2. Set deadlines
3. Prioritize
4. Start Early
5. Get rid of distractions
