That’s why I’d love to assist you on this journey and make sure you get where you belong. You probably have a voice of fear telling you to play it safe, heed convention, and turn back alto- gether. I want to represent your other voice, the one that tells you to really play it safe, by following your desire and strength. I hope you will consider me your suc- cess partner, your paper mentor and your noisiest, most outra- geous advocate screaming from the bleachers. In these pages, I hope to inspire you to live and work from your power and mag- nificence. Fear diminishes your strength. I plan to help you undo that fear and set free the aston- ishing faculties and life strategies you already have.


… I’ll move you into your brilliant power. I’ll share the mental and emotional journey of this awe- some ride with you, the fears, doubts, and bogeymen that arise and how to become an unstop- pable warrior for your life’s work and desires. Because I know that if I can help you stay connected to your desires and shift your innermost thinking, then you will take actions like nobody’s busi- ness, inspired actions that seem to fall directly out of the sky and onto your pretty plate. You will naturally outpace anything any expert could ever tell you. You don’t need the steps—when you have the moves. Now that sounds practical to me.


By the way, I’m not saying you shouldn’t have a business plan or follow an expert’s marketing or financial advice. I am never negating logic, linear analysis, or any source of input that helps you accomplish your dreams. Some of you will need to listen to your business coach, lawyer, or accountant, and build temples around the columns of your spreadsheets. Others may take their cues from a late-night tarot card reading over the phone or from a neighbor’s Border collie who shows up in a dream with a telegram from Atlantis or an Akashic record in its mouth. Some may rely on a passage in the Bible; others on the passages of the planets. Some of you may do all of the above, repeat, and then become a life coach, I just don’t know. I couldn’t possibly antici- pate where your direction, clarity, and power will come from, but I do know that I want your every choice to feel alive and peace- ful in the middle marrow of your bones. That’s your authority and my only goal. You have your own success path and I want to keep you on it.


Remember: You’re meant to suc- ceed in the work you love. Your desire will take you all the way. I invite you, dear one, to use your extraordinary resources. The world awaits you now more than ever. Please know I’m holding this vision for you. I’m rooting for you in the bleachers. I’m whispering in the hard times. I’m dancing in the good ones. And though you might
