This week we are focusing on the challenges of sticking at a goal. In today's world of instant gratification, it is hard to be patient and have things change slowly. But let us all remember the tortoise. It doesn't matter how slow your pace, as long as you keep moving ahead. This following quote is simple, but meaningful:

“Your speed doesn’t matter, Forward is Forward”- unknown

Find ways that you can keep moving forward with the goals you are working on.

To illustrate this point we interviewed Leah Abucayan-Cook about her journey of having a goal to become a Disney imagineer and how she makes time for her creative passions and fitness goals. 

Determine your main goal, then figure out the steps you need to take to get there. Take small steps to get where you want to be - it takes progress.

It would be best if you had fans — people who support you and will deliver harsh feedback with kindness and good intent. 

Recruit personal sponsors — senior leaders who can advocate for you when it’s time for a promotion. 

Include at least one critic. These people may be the toughest to approach, but they can be the most valuable. Look for people who have deep-seated perceptions of you and are likely to block you from advancing. If you enlist their help, you may be able to shift the relationship into a positive one and use their criticism to grow.
