Manifesting Success with Intention

Leilani Anderson-Monroe

Alright, so let me ask you something—how do you expect to hit the target if you don’t even know what it looks like? Yeah, I’ll wait. Because honestly, this is where so, so many of us get stuck. We’re moving, we’re grinding, but where exactly are we going?

Listen, defining your vision is like putting the address in your GPS. Without it, you’re just driving aimlessly, hoping you'll, you know, end up somewhere good. Specific, measurable, and achievable—that’s the trio. Those are your guideposts. Random goals kinda lead to random results. Do you really wanna leave your future up to "maybe"?

Let me tell you, when I was building the Boss Women Network, it wasn’t by accident. I had a vision so clear I could see it, smell it, touch it. I mean, I made it real—literally—by creating a vision board. Like, every single thing I wanted: the people, the impact, even the collaborations. And you know what? Once it’s on paper—or in my case, a giant cork board—you can start to map out how to actually make it happen.

And here’s the thing. Your goals don’t have to be massive to matter. Starting small is still starting. Write it down, put it out there, and give yourself direction. Oh, and let me tell you—there’s power in measurable results. Like, hitting one small goal boosts your confidence to take on the next. It’s kinda like, momentum, you know? And that momentum? It builds.

So, the question is, do you know your destination? Or are you just hoping to land somewhere okay?

So, you’ve got the vision, right? You know what you want. Now let me ask, are your daily actions actually lining up with that vision? Because—and I’m serious here—you can’t just dream it. You gotta do it. And not just some of the time—all of the time.

Look, the world is noisy. There’s always gonna be something pulling at you—emails, social media, errands, you name it. But here’s a game-changer: priorities. You have to decide what’s worth your time and energy. Ask yourself: is this thing I’m doing right now getting me closer to my goal, or is it just keeping me busy? Big difference.

When I started out, I had to get, like, really intentional, especially as a mom and entrepreneur. My mornings? Oh, those were sacred. No distractions. It was my time to plan out the day—not just react to it. I would sit down, look at my goals, and ask myself what three things—just three—could move the needle today. Not everything, just the important stuff.

And let me tell you, those little steps? They add up. It’s not about perfection, it’s about consistency. Like, I remember building the Boss Women Network while juggling kids, clients, and life. I didn’t always have hours, but those focused pockets of time? They were everything. Progress over perfection, every single time.

So, what’s it gonna be? Are you staying intentional, or letting distractions run the show?

Leilani Anderson-Monroe

Alright, so here’s the deal. Your mindset? It’s the foundation for everything. I mean literally everything, because if you don’t believe in your goals, why would anyone else? And listen, there’s no magic shortcut here—you're gonna face challenges. That’s life. But the question is, how are you showing up when those challenges hit?

You gotta have self-awareness, like real self-awareness. When those negative thoughts creep in—because let’s be real, they always do—you have to stop and ask yourself: Is this thought serving me, or is it just dragging me down? You can’t control everything, but you can absolutely control how you respond. And trust me, your response? That’s where your power is.

Let me tell you a quick story, okay? Back when I was still, you know, building my real estate career, I had this deal fall apart—like, completely fell apart. And I’m not gonna lie, it hit me hard. I was sitting there like, "Leilani, why even bother?" But then I realized—okay, maybe this isn’t a failure. Maybe this is just feedback. What can I learn? What can I do differently next time? And you know what? I took those lessons, and the next deal? It came together smoother than I ever thought possible. Honestly, sometimes setbacks are just setups in disguise.

So, here’s the thing—you have to shift the narrative. Instead of thinking, "Why is this happening to me?" ask, "What is this teaching me?" Because every obstacle, every roadblock? It’s an opportunity for growth. And, and that’s not just fluff—it’s your reality if you choose it to be.

So today, I want you to think about how you’re framing your challenges. Are you letting them define you, or are you using them to refine you? You’ve got the power to decide. And on that note, we’re wrapping it up. That’s all for today. Keep believing, keep moving, and I’ll see you next time. You’ve got this.
