KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Kathy’s “Gospel of Glitter” - be positive and make space for a successful outcome! It’s about giving and sharing - if things are going bad in your own life go do something nice for someone else.?

Persistence - know the end goal, and if you are procrastinating or don’t want to do something, do it for your Future Self.??

Law of Belief: believe in what you can have for yourself and take action because you believe.

Kathy takes a mini book at the end of each day and writes down 3 to 4 things that went right that day.??

Kathy’s Planning Process for Success — she has to stay organized for Future Kathy!

• Start in January with a Vision Board with every month mapped out
• Prep for the coming week every Sunday night - What does she need to finish this week?
• Every night make a To Do list for the next morning?- This keeps her from wasting time

Power of Visualization - Kathy has moved ideas forward by visualizing the future outcome - her book on a shelf in a bookstore, writing down what she wanted for her next hire, etc.

Financial mindset shift - it’s not about squeezing a dollar out of a dime, it’s about turning $1 into a $100 - abundance mindset instead of a scarcity mindset.

Take one idea at a time and follow through with it!

Believe you can do it and make a plan for it!

You don’t have to reinvent yourself — evolve yourself!??

• Be proud of what you’ve done in the past because those things play a role in where you are right now that allows you to go to the next level.

Kathy likes to have a meaningful purpose in everything she does - so she promotes positivity through creativity.??

You are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with, so choose those 5 people wisely.??
