First, do you believe it’s possible? For you?
I think sometimes i gloss over this. I say it… of course.
it’s part of my “intro” about Women Who WOW. It’s a headline, a tagline maybe. But, do YOU believe it? Do you REALLY BELIEVE that the exact success you want — in the business you’ve chosen — can be created ENTIRELY on your own terms?
Or does that feel fanciful to you?
Like I’m leaving something out?
Like I’m selling you really cheap oceanfront property in Nebraska?
Because while it rolls trippingly off my tongue, today…
I’ve also struggled with it over the years.
Look, I’m a country girl. Daylight to dark is how I was raised. When people have a problem sleeping (or drinking or cheating or whatever) my REFLEX go-to remedy? I’m being totally serious here: Put in a hard days’ work.
Can’t sleep?
Work.
Have a “problem with alcohol?”
Get a job.
No purpose? Feeling depressed?
Get to WORK.
Idle hands being the devil’s workshop and all of that. 

Half-kidding here, of course, but you get my point. I don’t want something for nothing. I’m not preaching profit without value exchange or wealth without work.
I believe that WORK — whether we’re getting paid millions, getting paid a starting wage, or getting paid NOTHING — is noble. (When my oldest — who now works in the business full time — turned 16 she didn’t get hired for a job right away. No excuse, of course. She started working as a volunteer on a local farm.)
And, of course, I DO the work.
Daily.
I show up and do the work.
Because it’s noble, yes.
But also because I’ve designed my work to be something I absolutely love — no, CRAVE — doing.
I’ve literally designed, crafted and built my work to be something I LOOK SO FORWARD to doing that I can’t NOT.
I have a life I never need to escape from…. because it’s a life of my own DELIBERATE creation.
Is this possible?
I swear to you I am living proof.
I’m not hiding anything here.
I’m a nobody in a small town.
I wasn’t born wealthy.
I didn’t grow up wealthy.
I didn’t MARRY wealthy.
So, if I can do it, friend… SO. CAN. YOU.
Here’s HOW:
Meeting your financial (and other) goals in business ON YOUR OWN TERMS — without compromise — is very much like SCULPTING a statue.
You simply chip away and remove THAT WHICH DOESN’T FIT the vision, the reality, the preferred life you are actively creating.
From the very beginning of my entrepreneurial journey, I set clear boundaries. At first, they were pretty basic: I had to make money without setting appointments (I had kids to work around) and without leaving the house.
Eventually, I started chipping away at other “un-savory” things:
— clients that paid late, gone.
— clients that texted me at inappropriate hours, gone.
— clients that I simply didn’t enjoy talking with, all gone.
— large-scale events, gone.
— speaking for free, gone.
— IN PERSON meetings, gone.
— client appointments before 11 AM EST, gone.
Chip, chip, chip…
Slowly, I chipped away at that which I didn’t like. With every chip I released, I created more room for all that I loved.
THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE: Slowly chipping away at that which doesn’t — or no longer — belongs. Before long, you’ll be able to clearly see the outline — and then the fine details — of the life and business you’ve been longing for.
so, is it possible?
YES.
Does it require daily work?
Yes, but Doesn’t EVERYTHING worthy of our pursuit?
So, what can YOU chip away at today?
