You may have noticed that I\u2019ve been a little \u201cquieter\u201d than usual over the past couple of weeks. There is a very GOOD reason for that!<\/p>\n

See, Michelle and I are working on some really great and yummy things for you, all while I was also planning a week-long vacation with my family and family-in-love (my hubby\u2019s brother, sister-in-love, and my mother-in-love)!<\/p>\n

As a wife, mother, and entrepreneur, it\u2019s important to me that I build my business around <\/em>my family.<\/p>\n

Do I want to succeed? YES!<\/p>\n

Do I want to make a difference in the world? YES!<\/p>\n

Do I want to be the best wife and mother I can be? YES!<\/p>\n

Now, some people might say that it\u2019s \u201chumanly impossible\u201d to do and succeed in all of these areas at the same time.<\/p>\n

I call BS<\/em> on that!<\/p>\n

It IS possible to have BOTH a thriving and successful business\/career and a loving, passionate relationship, if that\u2019s your true intention.<\/p>\n

Now, is it always \u201ceasy\u201d to have it all? NO.<\/p>\n

To take this week off and spend as much time playing, laughing, and relaxing <\/em>with my family, it took some pre-planning, putting things in motion, and being willing to work a little longer than I usually do.<\/p>\n

It took reaching out to my coaches and mastermind sisters to get the support and encouragement I needed to believe that I COULD complete my projects AND have time to play with my family.<\/p>\n

It took letting my family know that I would be putting in longer hours and be more focused on my work for one week so that I could have fun with them for another.<\/p>\n

It took asking for help and support from my team \u2013 both Team Diaz and Team Heart\u2019s Desire \u2013 and letting go of the things I could not control.<\/p>\n

And you know what? It worked!\"Gladys<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything that needed to get done prior to leaving on vacation got completed, Michelle and I had a WONDERFUL time speaking at the Jazz in the Gardens Women\u2019s Impact Conference and Luncheon, where many women registered to attend The Irresistible Woman Seminar<\/a><\/span>, and our virtual assistant handled all of the behind-the-scenes work for our upcoming virtual event!<\/p>\n

When your intention is to have everything your heart desires and you\u2019re willing to do the work to have it be so, you really CAN have it ALL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you are single and trying to figure out how to continue having a thriving career while also finding time to attract and date the man with whom you will spend your life, or you\u2019re a woman who is married or in a relationship and you want to continue growing your business or career while also growing closer to the man you love, there are steps you can take to ensure that you are experiencing all of the love, success, and happiness you desire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set a clear intention.<\/strong> Saying, \u201cI want to be successful,\u201d or \u201cI want to be in a relationship\u201d is not clear enough. You need to clearly define what \u201csuccessful\u201d and \u201ca relationship\u201d looks and feels like for you.\n
      \n
    1. Career intention:<\/strong> Does \u201csuccessful\u201d mean having a certain title or income level? Does it mean having an organization of a certain size? How many hours do you want to work? What type of lifestyle (home, vacation time and places, location) do you want to have?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Relationship Intention: <\/strong>What does a successful relationship look like to you? When you close your eyes and envision yourself in the relationship of your dreams, how do you feel? What is the experience of loving and being loved that you want to have every day, for the rest of your life?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Create a plan of action. <\/strong>A dream without a plan is nothing more than a wish. Once you have your clear intention begin planning from the end and work your way back.\n
            \n
          1. Career Plan: <\/strong> If you want to achieve a certain title at work in a year, what where would you need to be 2 months prior? To reach that level, at which level would you need to be 2 months prior to that, and so on. What are the steps you would need to take at each level to reach the next level? Who would you need to help support you? Have your action plan steps be as clear as the intention you set and as closely aligned to your intention as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Relationship Plan for Singles: <\/strong>If you want to be married in a year, and you\u2019re not out there dating, consider that, a year from now you will probably find yourself in the same exact place you find yourself in now. So, if you want to be married in a year, where would you need to be in your relationship 2 months prior to getting engaged? How well would you need to know each other before you\u2019d be willing to commit your life to someone? How long would you like to date him? How often would you like to see and spend time with him? Make your plan clear, allowing for joy of being pleasantly surprised, but get into action, or don\u2019t be surprised if there\u2019s no guy, no relationship, and no proposal a year from now!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Relationship Plan for Girlfriends and Wives: <\/strong>If you\u2019re in a relationship and you\u2019d like to experience more support for your career goals and dreams, as well as more romance and passion in your relationship, what are the things standing in the way of experiencing that now? Are you holding onto resentment, or are you ready to forgive? Are you communicating openly and authentically with your husband or boyfriend? Are you complaining about him not being supportive or inviting him to be part of your dreams? Whatever it is you want to experience in your relationship, be honest with yourself and be willing to take the action steps that will lead you in the direction of your dream!<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Get committed. <\/strong>One of the most critical aspects of having it ALL is your level of committed. Saying<\/em> you want something and being willing to do<\/em> the work it takes to have it are two completely different things! Remind yourself that this is YOUR life, YOUR dream, and WHY this is important to you.\n
                  \n
                1. Career Commitment:<\/strong> Keep in mind that there are probably at least 10 other people in your company or line of work who want to achieve a high level of success. The only thing that separates the people who achieve their goals from the ones who don\u2019t is their level of commitment, which includes persistence and resolve. Anticipate that not everything will go according to your plan, but use each setback as an opportunity to learn and catapult you in the right direction. The only <\/em><\/strong>reason you will have for not reaching your goal is if you quit!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Relationship Commitment: <\/strong>Having a loving, passionate, intimate relationship doesn\u2019t have to be hard work<\/em>, but it does take work. Joining two separate individuals \u2013 with all of their past, history, and habits \u2013 to create one solid and successful partnership takes patience, understanding, and commitment<\/em><\/strong>. Everything won\u2019t always run smoothly. You won\u2019t always see eye-to-eye. There may be times when you wonder whether leaving is a more viable option than staying and doing the work to make your relationship work. However, the only thing that distinguishes relationships that last from those that don\u2019t is the willingness to commit to finding a way to make things work. Assuming the man you are with is good and right for you, don\u2019t be afraid of investing your time and heart in building a solid foundation for a love that will stand the test of time!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Having the time to relax and play with my family without worrying about having to work, check email, and wonder if my projects would get completed in time was a big enough \u201cWHY\u201d for me to set a clear intention about what I wanted to accomplish the past two weeks, to create a plan and put in the extra hours I needed to in order to ensure the work got done, and to commit to following the plan, even when I was tired, even when I thought I was crazy for thinking I could really make this work!<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    The results?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

                    \"Family<\/a><\/p>\n

                    Having a blast <\/em><\/strong>with my husband and kids, romantic moments with my husband, getting to hold my baby nephew for the first time and smother him with love and kisses, and having fun time with my family-in-love!<\/p>\n

                    Yeah\u2026 I\u2019d say it was all well-worth<\/em> being able to have it ALL!<\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n
