My Trip to New York City and Insights

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

Hi Friend and Fellow Entrepreneur

In October 2012 I went to New York with a week with my eldest daughter.

It is so wonderful to be able to travel the world.  I found many people were saying wow you are sooo lucky and I wish I could go.

My Trip to New York City – How I Did It

It made me think of the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferris who explains that you can do the things you want and it does not cost that much..

When my daughter asked me to go..I didn’t really have any spare money to pay for the holiday…I did not know how I was going to afford it…but I made a DECISION to go…and it happened.

Research and Planning:

I researched and got cheap return airfares..

Asked other people who had been to New York about places to stay and see

Used Law of Attraction:

I made a dream board with pictures of the places I would see and cut out pictures of myself and my daughter there and we have almost the exact pictures I have on my dream board.  I visualized and put the intention out to the universe and it was created….

You Get What You Expect

Lessons in Getting What You Want

If you want something JUST DO IT – plan it out and do it

I remember being taught this by some training by Jack Canfield success principles.

He was talking about a hairdresser who wanted to open her own salon and said to him “I wish I could have my own salon”.  Jack told her she could..he asked her if she had met with other salon owners and ask how they did it…had she done research on how much she needed to get started and stock she would need etc. She absolutely could own her own salon she just need to take the necessary steps and plan to do it.

Often we want things but we have no plan to get it.

You need a plan of action.

Many times we have no idea how…and simply give up and think it is something other people can have but not me..

this is not true if you do not know how to do it…ask someone who has…many successful people are willing to give you the information  you just need to ask.

If you don’t ask you will never know

What Do You  Want?

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND GO FOR IT

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can 

[Richard Bach –  author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull]

So what do you want to do? go out ask for help from someone who has done it , make a plan and simply DO IT..life is too short to be full of excuses

I certainly do not want to be on my death bed with regrets…if only I had..I wish I had..how about you?

anyway enough of my spiel…I just wanted to share my aha moment with  you….

To your success in creating what you want
