Go all out for your dreams like you life depended on it

Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity. I had a 6-figure business debt, school going kids to support, my husband wasn't able to work, and I to leave an untenable work situation meaning we had no income. Sounds dramatic, and it definitely caused a lot of stress and anxiety at the time. But that was also when I decided that I was going to get smart about money because nobody was coming to save me I also realized that being in a corporate job wasn't going to help me prioritize my kids and family. Climbing the corporate ladder also didn't make sense when there was always going to be a salary cap but unlimited increasing work demands. The math didn't add up for me. So I decided to create a different path to have:
But I couldn't just quit my job with a family to support. And I also couldn't just quit my dream of creating the life I wanted. That's why I do what I do - to work full-time, run my coaching business on the side, so that I can prioritize my family. I talk about this on the podcast this week and why pursuing your dreams and goals is so important, especially if you're a mom. Listen to it on your favourite podcast player:

Like signing your kids up for activities they want, buying your loved ones a fancy birthday dinner, or in my case, investing in myself and my dream business. Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...
Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this...
Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream. One brick at a time. One email at a time. So here we are! Today's topic is about owning your story. Because your story has value. All the decisions you made, the actions you took, the ups and downs - they all...
