Think Like a Rich Person - Intelligence

Really spending some time evaluating my ROI. What is your return on investment - on your daily, weekly, monthly, etc., activities and responsibilities? It isn't just about cash. I know that, but there is nothing wrong with making sure you don't throw it away, either!

Railroad Tracks

During an interview with Paul Bradshaw, Pastor Rick Warren used an analogy with railroad tracks to describe our existence on Earth. The short interview has traveled the internet for quite a while and is certainly worth reading. Why the significance, now? Because I think many of us operate our daily lives on multi-train tracks that cross over and under and around each other; sometimes, entangling themselves and eventually halting or crashing several cars or the entire train. I just survived a mini-crash with cars intact, but I left a few behind for another conductor. My train is moving much better now and the cars that are connected belong with each other. Journey is much better. This, my friends, is the problem with being good at multi-tasking, or if I may say it without sounding pompous, pretty damn good at a lot of things. Not sure why it has taken me this long to finally figure out which cars should be in my train, and how to focus on one set of tracks instead of 20 lanes of interstate, but it did. Ever had one of those moments of clarity? Like, what-the-fuck-am-I-doing clarity. Those are rich. I tend to fall into things because I like variety and challenges and I like accomplishing a new endeavor. But, at what cost, right? So, where does that leave me? With a focus on radio and fitness, yes, but in a way in which I can reach more of you! I'm settling into a few PT clients; my weekly radio show that is steadily gaining momentum and molding my new fitness business as a Beachbody coach, which allows me to support and motivate an unlimited amount of people. I guess I've always been ashamed or fearful of admitting that I want to do BIG things. It feels grandiose and conceded. But, I've left that cargo behind for someone else. I got a strong "hit" and several messages that made it clear and I trust my faith and the energy of this universe. I now have just a few cars on just a few tracks and I can manage those and keep them fueled properly. I know that just because I can do something well, doesn't mean I need to take it on. I am profoundly grateful for this clarity and focus and I hope and pray that anyone reading this has found the same. I won't say that I've wasted a lot of gas on the interstates, because I am who I am from my experiences and I appreciate all of them, but it's reassuring to know that I can choose to jump track for a quick ride to an acting or VO gig, but I won't be re-attaching that car to my train. Got too many cars? On too many tracks? Going too fast? Going the wrong direction? Lost in transit? Carrying loads of shit? I feel you. Take care of it. You can thank me later!

The Supermodel and Bloodshot Eyes

I seriously cannot believe how long I have been away! Life simply just moves us in so many directions! No excuses and not feeling bad about it. It is what it is! All good, in fact. Still blazin' the trail with Blake on the weekly radio show. Gaining steam and in the radio biz, it often takes several years. Fitness and training. Ca-ray-z! Lovin' it, as they say. Decided to take a casting this week in San Diego. Drive from The OC to SD is lovely and I'm not being sarcastic. Quickie as usual. Really love that I was right behind Miss SD Supermodel...right...5'8, 120-ish, long black hair and, well, attractive. Fine. Stunning. Whatever. You never know. Producers might be looking for short, muscular and average all-American gal who would never be mistaken for a model. Coolest thing. I don't care. Of course, the next day, I get a referral to submit for a narration job. My friends, that is how it works. Nothing, zero, nada, goose egg and then two talent opportunities within 24-hours. I know this happens to you. Let's roll with it. Whatever. As long as the oil doesn't somehow end up in the Pacific, I'm looking forward to getting up tomorrow and starting another day! I'll let you know if I book either job! By the way, Lucy the Dog is reminding you to get a designated driver this weekend. She has a legit reason for her bloodshot eyes, but not a good look behind the wheel! Be safe and help keep the rest of us that way, too! God Bless America!
