It Begins...Again.

I always have the best of intentions, but in reality, I leave them as just that, good intentions. I have had some success in my professional life, but never the success that I set out to have. I haven't started my dream companies. I don't do what I love. I am not able to help those that I desire to help.

I have set some majorly awesome and inspiring goals in my life. I have inspired others to set huge goals and to achieve them. I have been supportive of all who cross my path. And while doing all of this, I have secretly sabotaged my success, little by little, so that I find myself wholly unfulfilled and unsuccessful. I find myself at the beginning...again.

I have motivation, like so many other times, to actually do the work necessary to achieve what I want. This time it'll be different. I tell myself that every time in the hopes that it's this time that I'm right. Well, this time I am right. This time it's my time to shine. I have lived in the shadow of my dreams and goals for long enough. It's time to peek my head through the clouds and actually achieve some of them.

I know it's going to be a lot of hard work. I realize that I have created a culture within my life of laziness and a lack of accountability. I know that I have failed more times than I want to count. But knowing all of that, I really do want more in my life. I want more for myself and also for others. I want to give myself the kind of life I've always dreamed of. And surprisingly that doesn't necessarily include millions of dollars and fast cars and all that. It mostly consists of a positive self image, high self-esteem, a love for myself that cannot be shaken, confidence in myself, peace in my heart, the ability to feel and to spread joy and happiness, being a light and example to others, and so much more.

And so thus begins the journey.

Well, truth be told, I've been on the journey my entire life, I've just now decided to document it. And hopefully by documenting my journey, the highs and the lows, the successes and the failures, the action and the inaction, it will help me to progress forward like I never have before. 

I'm grateful to have been inspired to start this journey. I don't know where it will lead, but keep your fingers crossed, because, if this goes where I want it to, you're going to want to be along for the ride.

My Thoughts and Answered Questions on "How I Conquered Call Reluctance..." by Sidney C Walker

I was indirectly referred this book by a fellow publisher in my company and decided that I needed to take action on something in my life. So I have chosen this book to kick off my new found desire to move forward.  The book is titled, "How I Conquered Call Reluctance, Fear of Self-Promotion, & Increased My Prospecting!" by Sidney C Walker.  Since I have a really difficult time motivating myself to make calls to set up appointments, and I have an equally hard time doing drop-ins where I stop by a business, ask for a business card of the person who handles marketing, I knew I needed something to change.  I started with a time of 30 minutes reading a day. I got through Chapter 1 in that amount of time. In chapter one it asks a bunch of questions and I wanted to do something I haven't consistently done ever...I wanted to answer those questions. Here are the questions that the author poses with my answers below. Feel free to write down these questions and as...
