CHAPTER ONE
ven if you’re scared, start small. Take the time to visualize how success looks, rather than focusing on any roadblocks getting in your way. Most roadblocks are mental, anyway. You can overcome them in order to get to the point of success if you stay focused on your strengths instead of weaknesses. The main trick is to just get started. Everything else later will be easier than getting started.
Stop Being Afraid
There are many reasons why we are afraid. No one wants to be seen as a failure, or to be ridiculed, or to be judged… or we are afraid to break free from other people’s expectations of who we should be. All those reasons are why it has taken me over 15 years to write this book and put it into the world.
Why now?
Because now I believe that helping just one person is worth it. I can have a bigger impact on my community and help more families, and that makes it worth it.
My mind began to change as I opened my eyes to the impact I was already having with my students. As I continued to grow and help more people, I started to ask myself different questions. And the answers surprised me. The questions were simple:
- What do I want to achieve?
- What will happen when I achieve it?
- What do I want to avoid?
- What happens if I avoid it?
- What is the next step?
- What can I do first to make sure it happens?
Answering these questions changed my whole perception and made me willing to just take action toward writing my book and do it in spite of my fears. It allowed me to remember what it felt like to be that 18-year-old girl and to ask myself, “What if I didn’t have the support, job, mentors, my husband (then boyfriend), who believed in me…where would I be? I”
“You become what you believe”-- Oprah Winfrey
In that moment I was willing to step through my fears to help someone else who may not have those things or didn’t have them when they needed them the most and still carry the loss, guilt, and shame with them.
What about you? Where are you willing to take action? What is that thing you have been feeling you should do it for a while now? What would the world be like when you achieve this?
Steps to Believe in Yourself:
- Face where you are right now.
- Love yourself -- warts and all.
- Identify your unique skills and abilities.
- Identify the fears that are stopping you.
- Ask yourself empowering questions.
- Write down what you want to achieve.

Students Who Have Punched Failure in The Face:
James Hopper
James was my son longer than he has been my student, which kind of made him my guinea pig when developing this system. See, James was a high school football player, and we always had a chance to work on his mindset. The most memorable moment for me was his senior year in high school. We had invested in a program to help him get a scholarship to pay for college. If any of you have been on this journey with your kids, it involves a lot of weekends at training camps and combines. I am not sure when this idea was planted in James’s head, but he came home and told me that he was too short to play Division I football. I was confused, because this had been what we have been working toward for a few years. So, my immediate response to him was, “Who’s rule is that?” He paused and said he was not sure. I asked him if he thought he could play at that level and if he still wanted to play Division I, ball and he said, yes. From that day forward, we focused on what he needed to do to get there and what actions he would need to take to get there…he did it. I didn’t allow him to buy into other people’s beliefs, and he accomplished two milestones: being MVP of the 4A High School Championship Game and getting a full ride scholarship to Virginia Tech.
