Simple Tips for Achieving Your Goals. Why success doesn't just happen.
Last night I found a note I'd written to myself (on my phone's notes) in January of 2011. I wrote this when I was a single mom with three little kids to support and raise on my own (full-time). When my salary was barely above the poverty line. When I was just trying to survive and keep my head above water. When I had no one to lean on or confide in.
I wrote it before...
Before I'd written a single page of a book.
Before we had a single stamp on our passports (or even had passports).
Before I'd had a six-figure year.
Before I owned a car with less than 200,000 miles on it.
Before I ran a marathon.
Before I read books, cooked daily for my kids, or traveled, or learned how to take care of and depend on myself. Back when I felt scared and alone most of the time.
Simple Tips for Achieving Your Goals
Before I did all of that... I dreamed I COULD.
It was NOT EASY.
It was NOT luck.
No one gave it to me.
No one made it happen, BUT ME.
Before I manifested a single thing on that list, I ALLOWED MYSELF TO WANT IT.
I WROTE IT DOWN.
I began to imagine what my life would be like if any of that stuff came true.
I gave HOPE a chance.
I started taking imperfect ACTION towards it, even though I had no idea what I was doing, or how to make it happen.
I actively controlled the voices in my head, changing the "I can't" into "I will."
And now, 9 years later, I can check off everything on that list (except the goal weight and "mommy makeover." but those will come!).
9 years later... My kids and I have traveled to five countries (passports stamped!), been to 2 home Ravens (NFL) games, sat court-side at NBA games, sat in suites at MLB games, and taken a train across Italy. I've written 2 traditionally published #1 best-selling books, taken the kids to Disneyland, flown first class more times than I can count, far exceeded my income goals multiple years in a row, have bought 3 Mercedes, ran a marathon, become a pretty decent cook, and created a life I LOVE.
I share this not to brag, but to say... If I could do it, ANYONE CAN!
ARE YOU where you dreamed you would be 9 years ago?

Do NOT wait one more day.
DO NOT PUT IT OFF FOR ONE MORE MINUTE.
You can't afford to NOT be living a life you love.
