Essential Read: 'Your Moment' by Tumi Frazier

May 25, 2015 Melanie Hawken
Tumi Frazier, author of 'Your Moment'

Tumi Frazier, author of 'Your Moment'

In her book, Your Moment, international keynote speaker and life coach, Tumi Frazier, shares her insights and advice on how women can seize their own personal moment and build the positive mindset and self-confidence needed to achieve key goals and ambitions. 

 

For those of us who feel that we are constantly treading water and not able to fulfil our own dreams and aspirations because of the everyday challenges and hurdles we face, then Your Moment is a book that could help you to change your life by changing your patterns of thinking. Author Tumi Frazier has written an easy to read, step by step guide that provides practical advice and techniques to achieve success not just in business, but in every aspect of your life. At the end of each chapter, there is an assessment to go through and practical exercises to undertake to enable you to see where you are in each area of your life in relation to your personal targets and objectives. So, that in itself gets you to think about where you are right now, and where you want to be. Also, it helps you to honestly reassess the next steps to be taken on your personal journey if you are to achieve the success you are looking for in your life. Your Moment really is a tool that you can use over and over again, particularly when you need to reinforce or reassess a particular aspect of your life, or if you are struggling with a key part of your journey and need reassurance on how to progress to achieving your goals.

Words from the Author....

"If you read Your Moment, first of all it is a book that focuses on different areas of a woman’s life - professionally, health-wise, and wealth-wise, all facets. So the book really takes a holistic approach to success in life, understanding what success actually means, and also looking at how to achieve the balance in life that we all struggle with. It is also a book that moves you to action - in life, we often talk a lot about things but we don’t actually action them. So, this is a book to read if you want to move from words to action."

"For aspirant women entrepreneurs who are perhaps considering taking that leap of faith and pursuing their business startup dreams, then my advice would be that each and every one of us has our dreams, our vision for the future, our ambitions, etc. Yet, sometimes we hold ourselves back, so we have to realise that this moment is all that we have - yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not promised, you only have this moment to focus on right now. So, get up right at this moment and make it count."

Why LoA loves it….

For those women who are perhaps considering making their entrepreneurial dreams a reality, but are hesitant about taking that first big step, Your Moment is one of those books that can provide that reassuring guiding hand. It is a practical guide to help any aspirant woman entrepreneur to assess her life and her ambitions, and then give her the support to embark upon that all important personal journey to success.  --- Melanie Hawken, founder and editor-in-chief of Lionesses of Africa
