At some point along the journey to reach your big goals, you might begin to wonder…
Is all my hard work ever going to pay off?
If you’ve been asking yourself that question lately, the video below will give you a reason to keep moving forward, even if you’re feeling discouraged right about now.
In the video, I share a brief timeline of my entrepreneurial journey – from side hustle to full-time self-employment to becoming location-independent and being able to live and work from anywhere in the world.
Although I’ve experienced a lot of exciting milestones thus far, the most important part of my story is that I started small, with what I knew and with what I had.
And each year, I’ve been able to achieve more of my goals. One by one. Bit by bit.
But only because I never gave up. Not even when I felt lost and even a little depressed during the process.
The truth is…
You can’t expect to accomplish your big goals if you always QUIT every time you get stuck.
I guarantee that if you can push past the rough patches and keep going, all your hard work won’t be in vain.
Just don’t quit.
Success is a long-term process.
And your goals are worth seeing it through.

thanks for the video, made me need to remember me that everything takes time. My goal is to be a writer and live wherever since only need a computer. Maybe that’s why I created my blog, but now I realize it takes more than just blogging occasionally I have to be persistent with my other writings. I recently published a novel in amazon and google play but sales have not gone very well. That has discouraged me , because I thought it would sell at least a little . But seeing your video I realize something deep down I knew I was delusional and little relist , it takes more than putting a book on amazon , to sell . You need to let you know first and that takes time and perfecting writing too. So with this video you helped me not depressed and be realistic . I think you should also make videos talking about my writings what do you think ?
Thank you very much for all your advice on the web , video, and facebook . Last year I had saved to go to one of your seminars but had to ivertir money in another case . But I hope this year to attend one of your seminars. The novelty is that since 2006 the death of my husband things have not gone very well , but I’ll ignore and not give up because surely end with effort and hard work my luck changed. In my 45 years I think I can even get my goals

Inspiration, I have been working on my dream since 2007 going back to school getting my GED then my BS now obtaining my Masters. I am focused. My big goal for 2015 is to get my license to become a LPC. The journey has been hard long and grueling, however I can say I have grown along with my journey. I have learned to take small steps, accomplish one thing at a time. Thanks for your inspiring commentary I know I’m on the right path.

Wilma, I can’t wait to see what YOU have planned for 2015! I know there’s so much success in store for you this year :)
You always have the right words to say Rosetta :) 2015 is bringing a return on my investment in joy.
Happy that I Always feel energy-efficient, at this time of year, when in,”Out with the Old; In with the New Mode.What I’m tired of, is the half laid plans, falling by the way side, and life and age creeping up to the point where it’s embarrassing to say that I’m Still reaching for my Star.
One HUUGE event in my life, that I accomplished was to realize my almost 40 year dream of relocating back to Atlanta, where I began my college journey.
I can definitely say that your move to Hawaii inspired me to make this come to fruition, Rosetta !!!
We left a 3 story,5 1/2 BR 2 1/2 Bth home, and Plenty of Great Family memories, for a 2 BR ,1 Bth Ranch, and Downsized our belongings So Drastically, that it was mind boggling !
I left my job of 20 yrs, and although I had put in 64 alps for the same company here, I only received one interview, and wasn’t hired.
That indicates to me, that it’s time to spread my wings and fly to another profession.I’m in my late 50’s, creative, passionate, and eager to do something with my Creativity.
Working on my PLAN, temporarily slow on income however Joyful at the re ewi g prospects for success and vrowth in my NEW existence !!!!
