You might even watch one of her TV shows.
You might have read about her in a magazine (she even has a magazine named after her and it's not Oprah).
But times weren't always so great for her.
She used to do a TV show on public access with less than 50 viewers. She did it for years.
For many years no one paid attention to her.
Doubt forced its way into her mind.
Desperation set in on multiple occasions.
'Throwing in the towel' and quitting surely crossed her mind. It had to.
I know it crossed my mind many times when I was struggling.
Who have I been talking about?
One of the hottest media personalities right now.
I'm talking about Rachel Ray.
You might have seen her hit show '30 minute meals' on the Food Network, her new daytime TV show, or read her magazine.
Rachel Ray is in her 30's and is doing what she loves and cashin' in. Bigtime.
I salute her because she never gave into her fears, her doubts, and kept pressing on. She would never let herself settle for mediocrity.
What would her life be today if she never truly went for it?
How would she feel about herself?
When she's 75 years old and looked back at her life, how many regrets would she have?
It doesn't matter if you're 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90+ years old because YOU have the opportunity NOW to do something SPECIAL.
Why?
Because you are SPECIAL. You are.
What if YOU, yes - you - never make a REAL effort to do something you love?
To discover how to turn it into a bundle of dough?
To live life on your own terms. How will - you - feel?
You'd probably feel like you drop a 12 pound hammer on your right foot, right?
One of my friends, who's a multi millionaire said to me recently:
'Mike, most people fail because they truly never try. They say they're serious about succeeding, but their actions never back it up. You have to invest the time in growing and make the investment in learning, if more people did both, more would live a financially successful life.'
Rachel Ray invested in herself. Time and energy.
You need to do the same because when you think about how your life would look, not doing it, it could become deeply upsetting.
I don't want you to have regrets. No one likes how that feels.
Will you COMMIT today to investing the time and energy necessary for you to live your ultimate life?
Will you make this a habit?
Will you start being MORE DECISIVE now?
Great, here's a HIGH FIVE! (slap)
