What's your secret sauce?

Want to get motivated to smash out those goals? Time to write your own recipe!

Some self-reflection time.

If you are like most people, you are always after a quick fix. How do I get what I want in the easiest and most convenient way?

Is there such a thing?

Well, there is, sort of....kind of.

I don't know that I would call it a quick fix, but what you can do is find your secret sauce formula for lighting a fire under you to get moving in the direction you want.

So what?

Once you are moving in the direction you want... well, the rest is herstory! Seriously. You just need to gain some momentum and then it will all be set into motion and you can get ready to see some mighty fine results.

You don't get the ass you want, by sitting on it.

Big moments and gestures are overrated. They are not what life is made of or how we make a difference in our lives. It is all about the small stuff.

Want to figure yours out?

It's time to do some self-reflection as the answer is already in you. This is about digging deep and figuring out why you want what it is you want.

Your heart is all about the energy & motivation.

Your mind is all about the planning & direction.

The key is find your why that they BOTH agree on. When you truly find your North Star, it's not going to feel like hard work. It's going to feel like a pair of the perfect fitting skinny jeans and you are going to want to take them out for a good time!
