How to become a Go-Getter Girl

While keeping track of your New Year resolutions, see here. Here is something to help you be a Go-Getter girl this year.

Often, you have heard; "She's such a go-getter", perhaps to describe a friend, sister or colleague, and how you admire them and wish to be like them.

A go-getter is an aggressively enterprising person who works very hard/smart and who wants very much to succeed. She is strategic in decision making and wants to make a lasting impression or positive mark on her friends, family, work and the world.

To be a go-getter girl, 

Firstly, you need to just do it!

Yes, the go-getter is the person who acts now, not tomorrow, and thinks in short-terms.

They are proactive, not reactive. They shape their own destiny and never allow themselves to fall prey to the so-called external circumstances.

So are there any plans/Vision you have in mind to achieve this year? Do it already!

Note that a vision is not the same as a plan; a vision is more broad-based and fluid, whereas a plan is much more structured. Working with a vision in mind is very helpful, as it allows us to take a deep dive into the future, and almost, work backwards to figure out what we should be doing today if we want to achieve our vision 5, 10, or even 20 years from now.

Ask yourself always “What is the smallest next step”, “What do I need to do now, to get things going?” Do it! Set the ball rolling.

Believe that something within you is greater to overcome the obstacles that may obscure the road to success.

Every go-getter girl believes that she has strengths and capabilities that help her jump over all the hurdles in her path. There are roadblocks we face every single day, times that make us lose hope, give up, or even quit. But, in those times, we have to channel our inner go-getter girl and believe that we, quite simply, are better than this, and that our purpose is far greater than what we may even think. Ultimately, becoming confident in ourselves and believing that we can succeed is a good step to becoming a go-getter girl.

Love what you do

Key to getting off your feet and kicking some ass is simply doing what you’re good at and what you love.  Be passionate about what you do. Give it your best shot. Your passion keeps you fired and going, do not go about being grumpy and all. The same is true for relationships. It is not very attractive to be with someone who spends his time complaining about what he/she does for a living.

It is equally important to integrate some of our passion to our profession/vocation. For some of us, it may be golf, and for others it is dance. Whatever it may be, we should hold on to our passions and find a way to integrate them into our profession/vocation. I have always noticed that the go-getters regularly manage to combine their passions into their work so that they are fulfilled and happy. Making sure that we focus on our passions even at work enables us to feel enriched, excited, and very enthusiastic.
