Dreaming Freedom... for the first time!

I've worked hard all my life.  I LOVE working hard for things that I'm passionate about.  I worked hard to establish my career as a Chartered Accountant - enduring hours of studying and a gruesome exam.  I worked hard at getting pregnant and now I work hard to be the best mom I can possibly be... which is especially difficult with a special-needs son and a head-strong little girl!  I work hard at my marriage because it has seen it's fair share of ups and downs.  And now I am working hard at financial freedom!

One thing I don't want to work hard at anymore is my day job... Don't get me wrong, I work for the MOST amazing human beings.  These men believe in their people and support me in a way I have never been supported.  I love my job too!  I love accounting, as much as that may surprise many people!  I love my co-workers - we laugh, we drink coffee, we have a wonderful bond and lifelong friendships....  But.... I don't love my hours.

My hours?  7am - 2pm, Monday to Thursday.  A dream schedule, right?  A long weekend every weekend and I am there for my kids after school.  The only trouble is.... 

I want more freedom!  I want to work my hours on my terms.  I want to travel - I want to see Scotland and Ireland, I want to hike the John Muir Trail for weeks on end, I want to spend every waking moment with my kids on Spring Break, I want.... freedom!

That's where Rodan + Fields comes in.  This opportunity wasn't something I was looking for... I didn't even know I was looking for freedom... but it presented itself to me and I'm forever thankful that it did. With my business background and my passion for helping people, I jumped in with both feet.  I am determined to make this business everything it can be so that I can provide freedom for myself and for my family.  My big goal?  Retirement by age 43.

This blog, however, is about my little goals - the 50 little goals that I never would have set for myself if not for my team, Triple G and Rodan + Fields.  50 goals that I have set to accomplish in 2016... in just 52 weeks!  These goals are everything from seeing, feeling, acquiring, to personal growth and business growth.  They are uniquely mine and I want to share them with you.  I invite you to follow me in this journey of moving closer to my BIG goal by accomplishing my small goals.  I will crush some of these goals and others I will struggle with... but either way, the journey excites me!

Goal #1.... coming up this week.... Here's a hint....
