“Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.” Mark Ambrose
Because we are inevitably an average of the people that we hang around it’s important to cultivate a tribe with similar values, goals, and aspirations. Though you all may not be on the same path, having similar passions can help you stay on track with your goals and progression in life.
If you are your friends are anything like me and my girls then you’re always looking for new ways to grow and increase your skillsets. In this post, I’m going to be sharing 5 things that have helped my tribe to level up so that you and your tribe can level up as well.
Goals Group
Starting a goals group with your girlfriends is a great way to stay on track with the things you want to accomplish for the year. Achieving your goals can be a hard thing to do without accountability and support. Working toward achieving your goals in a place where you feel the most supported will no doubt yield the biggest results. Because your friends are people who you trust and respect having a goals group with them will put you more at ease when talking about the things that set your soul on fire.
Start out by writing down your big goals for the year and then work backward to plan how you will achieve them. Once you have your plan broken down schedule a time to meet once a month in-person to create a plan of attack for your monthly goals. Throughout the month set weekly calls for checking in and encouragement. Consistency will be your best friend on the road to success and having friends as built-in accountability partners is a major bonus.
Book Club
Getting your book count up is typically toward the top of every go-getter’s to-do list. Starting a book club is awesome for a group of friends looking to gain information and grow their skill set. It can expand each individual members’ outlook on the world while also building a stronger bond among the group.
Not sure where to start? Talk with your girls about the books they have on their lists. Discuss any skills you all are seeking to obtain or ideas you would like to further explore. Create a combined list of book that interest you all and set your dates.
Monthly Growth Classes
If your city is anything like Nashville, then there is a workshop every other day. Check your local event calendars and alternate months selecting a class that interest you. If your schedules will allow it try going to two things a month- one class and one networking event.
Some good places to look for events that fit your needs are MeetUp, Facebook, and Eventbrite.
Group Workouts
Getting in shape and staying healthy is hard to do on your own. Doing it with your girlfriends makes it easier to manage by providing support, motivation, and accountability. If any of your friends have mentioned stepping into a healthier lifestyle, round them up and get started. Set your goals out loud, track your progress together, and celebrate individual and group wins.
Self Care Friend Dates
It can be easy to get caught up focusing on leveling up your friend group and forget that yal are a FRIEND group. Your girls are supposed to be your getaway from the hustle and bustle and your break from all the noise. Take scheduling girls’ night just as serious as scheduling any of the above-mentioned suggestions. Be spontaneous when you can, but also be considerate of everyone's schedule and lifestyle.
