Increase Your Odds of Success

Feeling overwhelmed?
It is time to make a list!

Not just any list…

Write ALL you have going for you.

That’s right.

Right now, jot down a personal inventory of the attributes that equip you to succeed.

Don’t be modest.

It’s time to make a list that will prove to yourself you have the seeds of greatness.

If you have been procrastinating, begin a new project or get back to the one that is stalled out.

Based on your list, you have what it takes to finish what you’ve started.

Even if the odds are not in your favor, make progress and celebrate every victory.

When success seems illusive, look at the list to be reminded of how you can be an overcomer.

Post your list where you can see it.
Read it out loud. Often.

Now that you know your strengths, lean into them, and get to work.

Although your list is not a 100% guarantee of success, reminding yourself of who you are and what you are capable of has increased your odds.

Have a great week!
