WOW! This last week was very inspirational with the perspective of so many different people and different industries. I am sharing today my takeaways from these amazing people. I am beginning to see a through line with all of them. Have you noticed it yet? I have been taking some great notes and there are some very common things they all do, but also some very different things. I loved Alex’s thoughts on when she has done a “video on the fly.” I love how Tina Black thinks of her business. Bill Cosgrove built a multi-billion-dollar company using some very straightforward tactics. Melinda the “Beauty Broker” is so direct and driven. Beth Holden Graves googled how to earn a million dollars and then did it. Love that! Ginger Zee obviously has things figured out.

Beth Holden Graves knew she was called to do more. She wasn't sure how that "more" would look but she took one bold action and then another. Beth wanted off the hamster wheel. She felt more than just a nudge.. it was a PULL to just get started. She needed her groove back, and she knew a traditional job wasn't going to cut it. She was intrigued with the idea of making money online and began learning the options. In just three years Beth built a 7- figure business, but she didn't do it alone. Without mentorship, the connections she made attending events, and participating in masterminds and online programs, she wouldn't be where she is today.

Thank you for listening so far to the Success Series Show. I am excited to share a recap of what I have learned this week from the first four speakers so far.  Four amazing women, four different stories, four different paths, but each one very successful. I love to be inspired by other people who are successful.  If you have been listening, you know that I don’t believe success leaves clues. I believe it leaves answers!   If you listen closely, there are so many answers. It begins with mindset and believing. Our thoughts create so much of our life. It is important that we focus on this and only fill our mind with great thoughts. We need to stop punishing ourselves with stupid little things like we can’t do things until we become a certain way  or we can’t treat ourselves until we lose weight. We have amazing gifts from God that we need to share with others and love ourselves first! I keep hearing New Year-New You!  I believe New Year can bring out the best of you! Big line-up next week with Alexandrea Garza, Bill Cosgrove, Tina Black, Ginger Zee, and more! I would love to hear your take away from this week!
