I took a moment to do some self-evaluation because if I'm honest I wasn't satisfied with how 2018 ended. That last week of 2018 something bad happened daily. It was like a dark cloud was over my head and I couldn't get away from it. While I was excited about the new year I had a wake-up call that helped me have a better perspective about the new year. The new year is just a new date. Nothing about the new year can change you. You will make the needed changes when you find it necessary to do so. On Christmas, as my mom was in the emergency room at our local hospital I watched a lady come in with breathing problems and left on life support because she was brain dead. In a matter of moments, her life changed. I will never forget the look on her husbands face when the doctor told him that his wife suffered brain damage due to the amount of time she was not breathing. As I sat there I cried so many emotions came over me and I looked over at my mom and said you have to take better care of yourself because you can not leave me like that.

Nothing changes if nothing changes. A new year means absolutely nothing if you're still going to do the same things. Some of you been talking about what you want to do for so long while you've taken 0 actions. Nothing about your life will change that way. You claim you want to lose weight but you refuse to work out. You claim you want to start your business but you make excuse after excuse. You claim you want to write your book but talk about how you don't have time. When are you going to become this new you? When are you going to have some real discipline and go hard for your goals? I'm sure that woman didn't think on Christmas day she would end up that way but she did and we have to remember time waits for no one! You don't have time to continue to just talk about your goals it's time to accomplish them! I created my 90-day coaching program Crowns Up for women who you are ready to do what they've been wanting to do.

Queens, it's time out for all these small talks. What action steps are you willing to take to take to accomplish your goals? What are you willing to sacrifice to see your dreams come true? What are you willing to invest in your future? Free isn't going to get it this time. You have to get serious about your life and the things you desire otherwise it's just going to be a new year with the same old you. Once you know better you've got to do better so let's be committed to doing better this year. I'm not going to hype you up about 2019 and how great it's going to be. 2019 will only be as great as you are.
