1. Success is never a straight line. Get ready for twists and turns, bumpy roads, and surpriseloop-de-loops. Go for your dreams, have fun, and know you’ll be OK.

2. Fear is a false god. Growth (personal or business) demands letting go of "security", whichis really a falsity in itself. Choose faith.

3. When you realize your potential, it’s often scary. Whenyou know you are here to do more, be more, and impact more… staying where you are (even in a seemingly good place) will feel more agonizing than the growing pains of taking that leap you know you have to make.

4. Your habits create your outcomes. Do you have goodhabits? Identify areas in which you know you need better ones. And get help if you need it.

5. Get yourself a mentor or coach, whether you can work with her one-on-one or learn fromafar. And if you can invest in yourself during the process, you’ll likely move faster!

6. Use the power of a mastermind. You don’t have to come up with ideas or solutions byyourself. Two minds are truly better than one, and more are even better. Leaders throughout history have been using masterminds for centuries, and you can do this too.

7. Most everything you want right now is outside of your comfort zone. Get comfortable withbeing uncomfortable. It will become a way of life, and easier every time.

8. Be optimistic. Keeping your thoughts positive is proven to help you be more successful.

9. Stop judging others. It’s wasted energy. The more we judge others’ doings, we are simplytrying to justify our own choices. This isn’t a competition or a contest. Be comfortable and confident with your choices and get on with your purpose.

10. To change your results, don’t just have to change what you’re doing. You likely need tochange who you’re being. The person you have been up to now is not the same personwho’s about to make the leap that you deep down really want to make.

11. Only buy things you either really need or you absolutely love.

12. Successful people get advice from people who are more successful than they are.Average people take advice from friends and family around them, which doesn’t helpthem make big leaps. (You can still love those folks, but seek out better sources forspecial advice.)

13. Know that not everyone will support your success. While manypeople will admire you and be inspired by you, your success isalso a mirror that will cause some people only to see what theyhaven’t accomplished yet, or what they don’t like aboutthemselves and their lives.

14. Utilize your most valuable asset – your time. It’s your time.Everyone in the world has 24 hours in their day. No one hasmore. No one has less. It’s what you use them for that can helpmake you rich… in more ways than one.

15. Make decisions not from where you are, but from where you want to be. Whatever yournext goal is, think of what you would be doing, saying, and feeling if you were alreadythere.

16. Fortune favors the bold. Make the call, ask for the referral, book the trip, ask that personout, go for the sale.

17. Get comfortable with numbers, talking about money, making money, and spendingmoney. Bonus: Then you can get comfortable with giving a lot more of it away!

18. Being genuinely productive isn’t just about doing more. It’s about investing your energyand time into only those tasks that make a difference to you. That gives you instantlybetter results in your life.

19. Let go of what doesn't fit you anymore… certain clothes, unkempt surroundings, oldjunk. Donate or sell it all. This stuff is old, stagnant energy and is keeping you fromclarity and success.

20. Your choices create your outcomes. Choose well.

21. Have a big WHY for doing what you do. It will fuel your growth faster. If you don’tknow it yet, ask for guidance. God is a good role model.

3

22. No more complaining or whining. Process what youneed to with the help of a coach, therapist, clergy person,or friend. Then, time to ditch your "stories" and get intomotion.

23. Competition kills feminine energy and success. Onceyou stop competing and honor who you are and yourpersonal path in this life, you’ll discover how to receive.It actually all gets easier.

24. Stop caring so much what everyone thinks—they'll be talking about you either way! Ifyou get distracted by them, it just means you’re focusing on the wrong thing. Get back onpurpose.

25. What you put up with is what you end up with. What are you tolerating?

26. Always have a voice recorder handy to record your own personal notes, ideas, “divinedownloads”, prayer notes, and a-has—many cell phones now have recorders built in.

27. It’s okay to start small and imperfect. Start with what you have, because it’s better thannot starting at all. You don’t even need to be that smart, or have a big vision. Just getgoing.

28. Your environments create your outcomes. Are theysupportive? Beautify and take care of your home, car, andwork spaces. (Physical environments affect women morethen men, so this is particularly important for the ladies.)

29. Success leaves clues. If you want to succeed, findsomeone who is doing successfully what you want to do,and begin doing what they do.

30. Manage your money now. You won’t attract more if you don't take care of what youhave. Becoming aware of your complete situation may be painful at first, but once youknow what you have to fix, it will then be 100 times easier for you.

31. Cut out unnecessary expenses. Go through your checkbook and through your credit cardstatements, line by line, and look for services you don’t need anymore or even chargesyou may not realize are hitting your accounts every month.

32. Sell unused assets and unused items: cars, bikes, skis, furniture, electronics, golf clubs,hobby equipment. What is sitting around that you are not using? Clean out your space,clear your energy, and cash in.

33. Remember the Universe is never in a hurry. But it's always on time. Trust, be patient, anddo all you can from where you are.

34. Goal setting in 4 easy steps: Conceive Believe Achieve Receive.

35. Sock away at least 10% of your income in a savings account. If you can’t do that now,start with an automatic 5%, or even just 1%. (Yes really — it’s the habit that’s mostimportant!)

36. Know the purpose of your business: to make a profit. Yes, Iknow… your personal purpose is to change the world. But yourbusiness has to profit in order to fuel your mission! Make yourmain business goal a healthy profit, and you’ll be amazed at whatthings will start happening to further your personal mission.

37. Three keys to generating large amounts of business incomequickly: 1) a product or service wanted by a thirsty audience, 2) abusiness model that works, 3) a solid marketing and sales process.

38. Learn to embrace risk. By definition, an entrepreneur is “a personwho organizes and operates a business or businesses taking ongreater than normal risks in order to do so.”

39. Specialize, if you can. It could be a type of client who you specialize in serving, or a typeof product or service that you specialize in. Some businesses specialize in both.

40. Your marketing is more important than your mastery. You can be the best accountant,dog groomer, life coach, fitness trainer, wedding planner—whatever your business is—but if you don’t know how to get the word out about your business and generateresponse, you will never create the income you truly desire.
