My Ultimate Bucket List is Coming to Life #LiveList

Here's how my Ultimate Bucket List (#LiveList) is Coming to Life

I am a firm believer in the power of a Live List (kinda like a Bucket List) to help you break through any barriers you may have to dream big. I make all my coaching clients write one of these as their first assignment, it's also the homework to Dream IT in my book Hustle Believe Receive.

The key to making an ultimate Live List that will actually manifest is to focus on the EXPERIENCES you want to live out before you die. You can NOT put GOALS or THINGS on the list, just moments and experiences.

The first bucket list that I wrote back in 2009 has remarkably come to life in ways that I could have never imagined when I first wrote it. So, I'm excited to see how this list shows up in my life in the years to come.

Note: the bold items are one's I've manifested since first writing this list in January of 2017
