Last week was my birthday (I share it with my twin sister). Birthdays bring contemplation. But sharing things learned over decades intimidate me because over my lifetime, I realized I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING?!

So instead of being a sage and sharing what I HAVE learned in life, this year I’m sharing what I AM learning.

👣 Don’t stop moving forward. There’ll be days when it feels like you’re stuck in mud, but small, hard, insignificant steps are still making a difference.

💥 Believe in the impossible. It’s not until you’re fully convinced that your [crazy | unreasonable | unbelievable] vision will work, that it actually will.

❤️‍🩹 They won’t always believe (and that’s okay). You must believe it will work because others will try to shake, strike, and rob you of your faith. Your success will silence their doubts.

☝🏽 Focus on one thing. Resist the temptation to move onto the new shiny, distracting idea. Focus leads to priorities, which leads to discipline, which leads to consistency. And empires are built by focusing on one brick at a time.

Maybe one day I’ll drop alllllll the things I’ve learned and can share because I’m an expert, a sage, a scholar of life. Until then, thanks for journeying with me and celebrating another year around the sun.

Oh, before I go, I should share my sister’s reaction to yesterday’s podcast…

Yes, it’s THAT good. Heidi Easley explains how she went from bankruptcy to million dollar parties…SO juicy.

To the next year of life being the best,
