Sometimes I think we forget how much we’ve already made it through. The hard seasons.The setbacks.The things we were sure would break us. And somehow we figured it out. So why do we keep acting like we can’t handle what’s in front of us now? Maybe this week isn’t about being fearless. Maybe it’s just about trusting that the same person who got through all those tough days can get through this one too. That same person as you. Have a great weekend ahead What’s one thing you’d do differently if you trusted yourself a little more?

@Kim Ivy Busa My takeaway from this is that sometimes the thing we see as a disadvantage can end up becoming the opportunity. Fanta wasn’t created because everything was going right. It was created because people had to figure out another way. That reminds me that we don’t always need the perfect circumstances to move forward. Sometimes we just need to work with what we have and stay open to what’s possible. I think about this a lot because after being in corporate America over 40 years, I had to find another way to bring in more income. At the time I felt embarrassed to be in my late 50s. I’m driving for Uber eats and DoorDash but of course I did it, that’s the GenX to me. Then I started to see everybody talking about making income online, and I went down that path, not perfect, taking my circumstance and what was available to me. I’m just trying to make it work. That changed everything. It’s been three years now and I have about 14 income streams. I stuck with it by used what I had I figured it out along the way. If any of you are struggling with something like that, just realize you’re no different from anybody out there making things happen. It takes focus and consistency. Consistency beats perfection every day. You never know what can come from a challenge if you’re willing to adapt.

Looking for words of wisdom when building as it can feel very slow at times. I like those reminders.

Sometimes our goals feel like the only goal, but every steppingstone leads to the next steppingstone and to the next, so celebrate each one of them as you’re building your dream I learned many years ago to grab a mason jar and a bunch of either crystals, pebbles, coffee beans whatever you prefer in each time you hit a small goal or something building towards your goal drop one in the glass and watch that glass fill up. I’m a visual person so I like to see progress Have a great week ahead

@Kim Ivy Busa Thank you. I am loving this journey. Really changed the trajectory of the path I was on at 57.

@John Berfelo Let me kick it up a notch for you. Once you see what you DON'T WANT on the left and then what you DO WANT on the right. Read that Congratulations Card each night before bed, understand you are working towards that future you. Think about anything they may have come your way during that day and there may be some of the things you are seeing that you do not want that maybe you participated in or not, but give it an ooops and let go, be happy that you are seeing it now and what you want to move away from in your future you. LOVE THIS TOOL. This way you can compartmentalize it daily and not carry it with you.
