You Won’t Always Hit Your Goal But Swing the Bat Anyway

Almost 100 days ago, I set the goal of finishing and publishing a new novella by the end of this year (I also set a goal of finishing my interior design certification ✔️).

And 100 days later, I’m not landing where I thought I would. In a really, really good way.

Early into the 100-day challenge, I was feeling stuck. I had this screenplay I’d written a few years ago, and I wanted to turn it into a novella so I could publish it.

It seemed like the easiest story to choose since I had the screenplay to use as an outline. All I had to do was write the novella version, revise and edit it, and then publish it. I’ve done it before.

I Did It In Secret!

I have something personally exciting for me that I wanted to share with you.

This isn’t just about what I did in secret (I’ll get to that in a second), it’s about always being willing to reinvent yourself and constantly manifesting your next level in life (and business). And oftentimes realizing that your younger self knew all along who you’d become.

And this year I’ve been designing the townhouse my boyfriend and I live in, bringing our design style to life as best I can in a rental.

All of this inspired me to see how lit up and expanded I feel when I’m doing interior design stuff. It’s one of the few things that makes me feel this way. So I decided to take things a step further…

A Quantum Leap Phrase

This phrase is one that requires trust and belief and faith in what’s possible. It also requires surrender and accepting that if nothing happens, that’s okay too (while knowing that when you’ve truly surrendered, things will, of course, happen).

Celebrating My 10-Year Quitiversary By Sharing The One Thing I Wish I Knew From The Beginning

I was gonna write a post about the top 10 things I’ve learned in the past 10 years of being a full-time author and entrepreneur.

And it would’ve been a great post. A helpful one. A post that probably got shared quite a few times.

But instead, I decided to distill it down even more. Be more concise. Be more focused.

Because after an entire decade of being a full-time author and entrepreneur (plus five years as a side hustle), there’s really only one thing you need to know.

One thing that will make you wildly successful. One thing that will make you happy and fulfilled and thriving.
