TIP #7 – TAKE THE FIRST STEP.

I’m just learning to apply this to my life…it’s the only way anything I want really gets done! Today, my mom was hired for a new job so she was jumping around all crazy and excited (it was sweet). Her getting that job really inspired me. Her own business she started was going very, very slow for a few months and so she hopped on CraigsList and found a legit job (not a scam at all!!). When she went for the interview 3 weeks ago, she got a call saying they hired someone else but would call her if it didn’t work out….that was disheartening. And WOW how amazing is that?! They actually called her out because the other person didn’t work well! See what an effort does? She put herself out there and actually got the job eventually! I was proud she took that first step to get some consistent money because I see how bad it hurts her trying to provide for an entire household of grown people with just my dad’s paycheck and occasional clients…that my mom for you :) she’s a soldier despite the fact that me and her can DEFINITELY quarrel….but anywho, congrats to my mama for her new job as a medical office receptionist :D

I also took the first step in searching for new venues for my birthday. I think it gave my mom that extra push because she saw I’m now really determined & desperate to have my birthday somewhere else and NOT at the house. Afterall, my birthday party needs to be NEXT WEEK and I have 50 + people on my guest list!! I’ll keep you all posted. As you can see, my household always have a thousand things goin on at once.

All in all, take the first step, something might work out well for you. Take a risk too while you’re at it.

P.S. The perfect song for this entry is: Jordin Spark’s “One Step at a Time.” I definitely reccomend it ;)
