DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 27
Lessons to Master Your Money, Career, Health & Relationships.


What are your dreams? One thing I’ve noticed when I do the “Vision Making” part of my workshops, I find that some people have lost the ability to dream.  I don’t mean the type of dreaming that happens when we’re asleep. I mean, dreaming about what we want for our lives.  I hear things like: “But it’s not possible.” or “It’s not realistic.” That’s the whole point of dreaming, it’s not supposed to be realistic!

Why am I talking about dreams when the last few lessons in this series are about building wealth? Your dreams will be the fuel that will keep you going when things get rough. If you’ve lived any amount of time here on earth, you’d have learned by now that anything worth doing isn’t just going to fall on your lap. It’s going to involve hard work, sacrifice and a whole lot of determination. What will keep you going is your vision. The promise that all this hard work is for a better future – a future where you can provide a better life for your family, become your best self and be of greater service to this world.  

If you’ve stopped dreaming because you’re bogged down by the reality of life, I invite you to revive that part of you. We were all able to dream at some point in our lives. Remember when we were children and we were asked what we wanted for Christmas?  I wanted a pony so I asked for a pony (and a puppy and a kitty....). I didn’t stop and think, hey, this isn’t realistic. Whether I got them or not isn’t the point (I didn’t...*sniff*). The point is, we had the ability to dream from the beginning so I urge to you to revive that gift. Have fun with it! Below I’ve included some questions to get you started!  Happy dreaming!

I apologize in advance for the sound of the video. It’s rather scratchy at some points but still worth listening to so maybe just turn the volume down a bit.

DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 26
Lessons to Master Your Money, Career, Health & Relationships.
 
We’re on Day 26 of the 30 Day Challenge! Wow, can you believe we only have 4 days left of the 30 Day Challenge?! I really hope you’ve learned a lot so far. I definitely have this third time around, and the lessons that I “already know”, I’ve been focusing on putting them into action!

Today we’re going to learn about the one principle about building wealth that all wealthy people know. Remember though, that this series of lessons about building wealth isn’t just solely for the purpose of “getting rich”. It’s about adding value in other people’s lives and being of service. This is part of how we build wealth and this is what we need to do after we are wealthy.

If you’re sick and tired of being poor (financially), but you weren’t taught how to build wealth, watch these series over again. Find books about people who have done it already.  As Tony Robbins says, success leaves clues. Thankfully, there are wealthy people who want to give back and teach us exactly what they did to make that happen. Are you willing to put the elbow grease in it to achieve financial freedom?  It’s like wanting to achieve a certain weight or dress size. You need to be willing and committed to exercise and follow a healthy diet.   

So I ask you again, are you sick and tired of being poor? If your answer is yes, how much time do you put into learn about how to build wealth? How many minutes each day to you read or watch a video to add to your financial education?  Knowledge is power and the more you know about how to go about building wealth, the closer you will get to achieve that dream.  Nothing is easy, but it’s well worth the effort, especially if you want to have a greater impact in this world! You can do it!

DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 23
Lessons to Master Your Money, Career, Health & Relationships.


We’re on Day 23 of the 30 Day Challenge! Welcome to the last stretch of the 30 Day Challenge!  Keep going, you’re doing great! If you’re just joining us, welcome to you too! Jump in!

Would you rather clean public toilets that speak in public? Today you’ll learn some tried-and-true tricks to not just survive but thrive during your public speaking adventures! We all have to speak to a group at some point in our lives – whether it’s at church, at a PTA meeting, at the office or at a business networking event. Luckily, you don’t have to be born with the gift of public speaking. It is a skill that can be learned and over time, mastered.

The first time I had to speak in front of people was at my church around 5 years ago– there were about 150 people at the time and it was a simple announcement that I had to make.  I was terrified of public speaking but I’m generally a courageous person, so I went anyway! Boy, after my 2 minutes of speaking I felt physically ill! My stomach was in knots and I could hardly breathe!  I was determined to master this skill because I knew there was no way to get around it if I were to achieve my full potential so I threw myself into events where I had to speak to groups.  I did cooking shows, networking, workshops, even videotaped myself and practiced in front of the mirror (*shudder*)!  
 
After years of doing a combination of all those things during the last 5 years, I still have that adrenaline and nervousness, but no more of the debilitating pain that came after that first time up!  So I want to encourage you with that. Practice makes better so embrace the process. What’s the worst that could happen? You end up sucking. So what? Will you die? Will people throw tomatoes at you? No. You will review what you’ve done and try a brand new approach or refine your skills and get better!

DAY CHALLENGE: DAY 21
Lessons to Master Your Money, Career, Health & Relationships.

“Life is a gift, don’t trash it.” John Alston

We’re on Day 21 of the 30 Day Challenge! For those of you who have been following this series for a while now, you’ll notice that the concepts presented in these daily lessons are not complicated. The simplest lessons are often the most profound. So catch yourself  whenever you exhibit the “I already know that” syndrome. There’s a difference between what you know and what you do.   Remember the slight edge? These things are easy to do, but they’re also easy not to do – so consistency is key; in following this series and also applying the principles in your life.  If you are just joining us today, welcome! Each day is on a different topic so feel free to jump in!

What are you grateful for today? In our pursuit for “more” we tend to overlook what we already have. Today’s lesson is about developing your attitude and honing it to being one of gratitude and service.  Featured speaker John Alston gives a fresh perspective on how we view our lives and how we all have a “rudder and a compass” to guide us along our path.   Enjoy and have a day full of gratitude and love!
