Where Will You Be a Decade from Now? Achieving Your Decade Goals

Where Were You a Decade Ago? Where Will You Be a Decade from Now?

Are you ready for a BRAND NEW DECADE? Where will you be a decade from now? These next few days are critical to planning, designing and creating your future dream life, not just for the coming New Year but for the new decade!

Where will you be at the end of the 2020s?

Will you be living the life of your dreams? One that is MORE abundant, happier, more balanced, more peaceful, more satisfying, more successful than you ever dreamed possible? 

I know it might seem like just a fantasy right now, but I PROMISE you, if you invest in yourself, in determining what you want, why you want it and HOW to get it, you CAN AND WILL BE LIVING IT! 

I speak from experience here. 

At the start of the last decade (January 2010) I was a newly single mom struggling to survive, just 18 months out from the most devastating moment of my life.

Me with my babies in 2010

This was me a decade ago:

• I had just gone through a nasty divorce, losing not just my husband of 8 years, but my high school sweetheart and love of my life since I was 16 years old. And he was getting ready to marry the woman he left me for. 

• I was trying to get by on a salary that didn't cover my bills and still had me relying on food stamps.

• I was desperately trying to build a corporate career that would elevate my life and my family's circumstances.

• I was coming to terms with learning how to be a single mother to 3 young children. I had just spent my first Christmas alone, without my children.

• I was so lonely, lost and struggling daily to keep it all together. 

• The kids and I were living in a depressing 700 square foot apartment. 

But, I'd begun allowing myself to dream for the past year and was hopeful that my life could and would change. I was beginning to manifest from my first #FutureBoard and felt excited for what my new life might bring.

I'd recently started my blog Thoughts.Stories.Life., and had taken great care to ensure it was anonymous making sure I could be honest about my struggles and my dream of creating a new life. But a twist of fate changed all that when a post I'd written for another site about my personal story went viral (with my name on it!).

I was horrified! Now my story was public knowledge, and I didn't think I could face it. That day a friend of mine said something that changed my life, he said: "Sarah, you HAVE to own this. You need to be PROUD of what you've been through and what you are doing to change your life. Embrace it." 

It seemed impossible at the time, but I took his advice and owned my story, my past, and my life. That decision changed everything. It's the reason you are reading this now, it was the beginning of my new life, the life I live today. 

From that moment on, I decided to own my dreams and my journey. I wanted to always keep it real with you. I wanted to find a way to make complex self-help concepts, SIMPLE.

But most of all, I wanted to be the public ginny pig for what I was learning and teaching. I WANTED TO PROVE IT!!! I needed to SHOW you what was possible so that you could BELIEVE it could be possible for you too. 

And then, I wanted to teach you how to do what I have done, as simply as possible. I was and am, passionate about giving you TOOLS that WORK and are easy to apply so that you can change your life and live your dreams too. 

The LAST THING in the world that I want, is for you to be a bystander in your life or a bystander in my journey. I don't want to inspire you, I want to LIGHT a FIRE under you so that you DESIRE change in your own life, are motivated to create it and have the tools at your disposal to make it happen! That is my dream, it's my mission and my reason. 

As I reflect on the last decade, I decided to take inventory of what I've manifested in the last 10 years. These manifestations DID NOT just happen!! There is nothing random about them! They were each created with intention and called into existence by deliberate creation using my #HBRMethod. They all started as a thought, a wish, a dream. Then they became mental movies and visual reminders on my 8 #futureboards I've created the past decade. Those thoughts, mental movies, and pictures created burning desire, hustle, belief, and plans. All of that yielded INSANE RESULTS!

I share this list not to brag, but to MOTIVATE you to TAKE ACTION right now, so that you don't waste another year (or God forbid a decade) just existing in your life. I've created tools to EMPOWER YOU to transform your life (at any budget) so that you don't have any excuse to keep putting this off!

I share this list so you can see, as undeniable PROOF just how dramatically life can change in a mere decade. If I can do it, there's no reason why you can't!
