Day 1 – Yesterday was my birthday, and I shared a big (possibly crazy) goal I’m working towards. I actually have MANY big, scary goals I’m working towards like…
- Acquiring a big beautiful sailing yacht to charter and play on.
- Building a sizable retirement pension from real estate investments.
- Expanding my business nationally.
- Getting in the best shape of my life (without injury).
- Teaching my kids the equivalent of an MBA in Business education before they graduate high school.
- Planning a kick-ass trip to Italy to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
- Writing and publishing a daily journal (every day!) for a year.
These are just a handful of things I’m working on…
And I honestly don’t know yet IF and even HOW I will pull them off,
but I thought it might be fun, possibly helpful (or at least entertaining) if I shared my day-to-day struggle towards my goals, the wins and the fails this year, and it would HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE in ways I haven’t experienced before.
The funny thing is… I actually believe writing and publishing EVERY DAY for a year is the hardest and scariest goal on that list.
Because writing does not come easy to me. Every sentence is a struggle, and it takes me SO LONG to write even a few paragraphs, especially with my ADHD brain.
BUT I know if I can conquer this goal, it will help me conquer all the other goals on my list. It’s like the LEAD DOMINO; it creates momentum and forces me to plan, be tactical, to commit.
I’ve proven to myself I can do hard things. A few years ago, I committed to doing 100 burpees, as fast as possible, every day for a year. I HATE burpees with a passion, but forcing myself to do it did wonders for my self-confidence, and it led to me making improvements in many parts of my life.
So, this is my public declaration that I will post an entry each day.
Feel free to call me out if you DON’T see me post something.
I’M SERIOUS. Call me out if you don’t see me post.
So, here is Day 1 of my 46th year around the sun; tomorrow, on Day 2, I will share my best parenting win of 2023 and how it came after YEARS of failing.
Until tomorrow,
Cheers to you and yours,
