|
Reader, The company where I work my day job is in the midst of an acquisition. This means many employees feel insecure about their jobs. When I recently conducted training, several colleagues were commenting about how people were feeling fearful. They asked me for advice (translation: reassurance they would be ok). I understand these are uncertain times that can be frightening. As the primary provider, I know this worry firsthand - of not having an income while having a family to support.

As someone who used to lose sleep worrying about money and job insecurity, I've invested time and effort to master my habitual thoughts and emotions. From negativity, fear and complaining, to focusing on the good feelings I want to experience in life and working towards those. It's changed my life. That's why it's now my mission to share my exact step-by-step method that's helped me become this empowered woman. If this is something that resonates with you, join my live cohort program, Momentum Mastery for Women and I'll show you how. Registration closes for the year on 23 October 2024. We'll start the 6-week program weekly on 23 October 2024 at 8.30PM Singapore time. See you then. Sharon |

Reader, Today is the last Sunday in 2024. So tempting to do it like everyone else - Review your 2024 List improvements you'll make Define where you're going in 2025 Let's do it differently, shall we? It's great to reflect and set direction for career and lives, of course. But I've found things like 'goal setting' just let me down - I often don't hit my goals. Then I just end up feeling disillusioned, disappointed, and no good. So instead of doing the conventional year-in-review and goal...
