  • Be True to Yourself — A Secret You Must Discover Before You Die

    Going from Survival to Thrival involves Leaving a Legacy — Secrets You Must Discover Before you Die. Your Legacy can be tangible and/or intangible. Andrea Shares the First Key from John Izzo's Book "The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die".

    If you want to know the secret to a happy life then ask someone who has lived one. This is what John Izzo did in his book. He interviewed over 200 people, ages 60-106, each of who was identified by the people in their community as "the one person they knew who had found happiness and meaning."
    Andrea shares the first secret in the book and she also shares how the same principle that she learned at the age of 12 helped her navigate many difficult years like the rudder in a boat. If you want to live a meaningful life and live a life of significance learning to be intentional is an absolute must. Andrea asks 3 very Simple but Thought Provoking Questions to Help you Learn to Live by this Principle and Create a Legacy by Living a Meaningful and Significant Life.

  • Saving the First $100 is the Hardest. Saving the First $1000 is the Hardest

    Charlie Munger once said that "The First 100k is the Hardest". Andrea shares about her experience saving $100,000 and how hard that was and then she reverse engineers how saving $100 was just as hard. She speaks about levels and how when you are going to the next level financially each new level is the hardest. The first $100 is the hardest one hundred dollars that you save. The first 1k is the hardest one thousand that you will save. The first 10k is the hardest ten thousand you will ever save. And "The First 100k is the Hardest" that you will save just like Charlie Munger once said about building wealth.

  • The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step (aka Mini Habit!!)

    Standing on the Appalachian Trail near Hot Springs, NC, Andrea shares how The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Mini Habit. You've probably heard the saying, "The Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step" but what is a step but the mini habit of putting one foot in front of the other day after day.... taking little baby steps in the same direction.

    This is just one more example how a tiny change can completely transform your life. Practicing a mini habit day after day can change your life and carry you not just one thousand miles away but 2,200 miles like the Appalachian Trail. You can traverse an entire mountain range by linking little steps together.

    Be encouraged. Change is possible. Every day is a new day. And, you can do what seems impossible when you take action day by day, step by step.
