Who am I to be your goal manager? How can I guarantee that if you work with me, you’ll reach your goals? Well, have you met me? Allow me to share my track record with you to help you understand how intense/ crazy I can really be!
Goal: COMPETE IN A BODYBUILDING COMPETITION!
Reality/ action:
I started working out around 17-18 years old. Shortly into my weight training I realized that I wanted to train for something and give myself more of a push and reason to train everyday. So, I decided to set a new goal for myself to compete in a bodybuilding competition.
I began doing an hour of cardio everyday: 30 minutes first thing in the morning, fasted, then I’d go home and eat, maybe go to school, then later on in the day, go back to the gym to workout and do another 30 minutes of cardio (all on the stair master). I was still living at home at the time, but would not eat any of the food my family ate, no family dinners, no cheat meals on the weekend, ask my mom she’ll tell you all about it! #DISCIPLINE
I meal prepped and cooked all of my own food which consisted of boiled plain chicken, tilapia, rice and protein shakes. I never missed a day at the gym, practiced my posing, never cheated on my diet, was focused, motivated, and excited to compete!
Result: GOAL ACHIEVED!!!
I competed, stepped on stage, did my poses, and won two first-place trophies!
Goal: EARN MY BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN MATHEMATICS
Reality/ action:
Shortly after starting college, not knowing what I was getting myself into, I declared “math” as my major because it’s always been my favorite subject in school. I took some of the hardest classes I ever could have imagined, had so much doubt and mental breakdowns, but I never gave up on this goal of mine! Instead, I would study endlessly, turned in every single homework assignment, showed up for as many of my lectures as I could, always sat in the front row, failed many exams, but got back up!
Result: GOAL ACHIEVED!!!
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in mathematics with a focus on probability and statistics from MSU in 2019!!!
Goal: WRITE A BOOK
Reality/ action:
I had an idea that I knew I needed to share with the world, a new approach to our personal development journeys, it was brilliant, so I got to work! I had no idea how to write a book so I started listening to free podcasts and eventually signed up for a program called “Self-Publishing School” where I learned how to successfully write and publish a book. I woke up around 4:30AM every morning to write, read, work on edits, etc. I had a full time job, a baby, a husband, a home to manage, and had other goals I was pursuing at the same time, but I never gave up on this dream/ goal of mine!
Result: GOAL ACHIEVED!!!
My book, Your Life in Numbers, was published in February 2022
I don’t mind waking up at 4:30 in the morning everyday, I don’t mind failing and getting back up, I don’t mind going to the gym every single day, reading every single day, eating healthy and drinking a gallon of water every single day, I don’t mind not shopping, not getting my nails done, etc because I have goals that I want to reach!!!
So yes, you can call me crazy, that’s fine! Living our dream lives and reaching our wildest goals requires a little crazy!
Now tell me, are you crazy enough to reach your goals? Do you have “crazy” levels of focus and discipline? Do you have what it takes to reach your goals?
While you may not carry this same level of intensity or discipline, that’s ok, you can still reach your goals and I can help you get there! I can be the intensity you need, I can give you the motivation and the drive to succeed, I can help hold you accountable and help increase your levels of discipline and consistency! Let me be the crazy one who helps to push you across the finish line that you’re chasing after!
This is why I’d be a successful goal manager, because I’m crazy about goals, I don’t care if they’re your goals or my goals, either way we’re going after them and we’re going to achieve them! I hope we’re able to work together, until then, happy tracking!
