Ahhh... the beauty of having margin in my life again! FINALLY. Seriously!
Today I set a Liana-record. I did something I've NEVER done before. If you've kept up with this blog you'll know about our 100k in 30 days challenge and also that I've not run/walked further than 10k (~6.2 miles at a time). Today, with the help of some secret ingredients, I accomplished twice that!! 20.4k or 12.68miles this morning :) Ahhh it feels good but my tootsies are going to hate me tomorrow!
Whenever I hear "20k" what immediately comes to mind is another personal obstacle I've overcome.... you see, a number of years ago, I was making about 22k per year and had about 20k in credit card debt from school and business investments mostly. Financial advisers told me it would take 8-10 years to pay off, it was a huge burden I carried with me everywhere. It was about a year ago that (after only about 2 years) everything was paid off and I've been debt-free since then. I would not be in business today if it were not for some changes I made and some SECRET INGREDIENTS.
The Secret Ingredients:
1. Margin
2. The Silver Comet Trail. I knew I couldn't stay in my development or I'd have the option of quitting much sooner. I needed to be surrounded by nature and other people also on the journey. It was sooooooo beautiful out today!
3. Podcasts... specifically part #3 and #4 of NPCC's "Take it to the Limit" series. I listened to these today while I completed my 12+ miles along the beautiful trail and was reminded again of one of the MOST IMPORTANT things I did for my life and business... gave when I had nothing and created a financial margin.
I fear I could go on for hours about it but if you really want to know what I'm talking about listen to the free podcast and keep up with the BananasEDU blog... what I refer to as "the foundation."
