Success Is On The Other Side Of The Challenges You're Going Through Now
|
Don't believe the highlight reels you see on social media, Reader. Yet, even if you don't, you still feel like your progress is too slow, right? At least that's what it felt like with my podcast before I restarted it this month. It was a year since I published new episodes, and 4 years since starting it. I gave up on it for a while. This is what making your dreams a reality looks like.
But no matter what, when it comes to going after your dreams, you have to find that little voice in you that whispers:
It's why I restarted the podcast - to talk about all the BTS stuff you'll never see. What it takes to go after your dream - the highs, the lows and everything in between. And of course, that little voice that just won't stop whispering in my ear to get back up. If you haven't already, you can listen by clicking on your favourite podcast player below:
If you're riding a high wave in your business right now, talk about what it took to get here - inspire us. If you're feeling low about your dream, know that this is what it takes to make it come true - you're not alone in this. The success you want is always on the other side of the challenge you're going through now. As long as you keep getting back up and taking the smallest step in front of you, you're on the right track. Always cheering you on to go for your dreams! Sharon |

What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...
I imagined this vision of the farm What a quiet morning in the UK showed me about looking back, and why I stopped waiting for a job to look after me. I'm writing this from a hotel in the UK. This week's podcast was recorded in the hotel bathroom. It was the only quiet room. My son was out in the room on his laptop with his friends, and I had about 15 minutes. That's what this season looks like. He starts university next week. My younger one starts next year. Before the city, we spent a few...
Four months ago, I did the math on sending both our kids to university in the UK. It would be about $200,000 a year, for three or four years. I had no idea how we would do it. Today, I'm writing this from the UK. I'm here helping my son settle in to his first year of university. I'll tell you how it came together in a moment. But first, what I noticed along the way. $30,000 is not always $30,000 Think about $30,000 of debt. Now think about $30,000 landing in your account as a bonus or as...
