As a Humanist life skills coach, I will never tell you how to get rich quick.
That’s because, very few people get rich quick. Even overnight sensations spend
years slugging along before they get their big break. My husband and I joke
that it will probably take me 8 years of hard work to become an overnight
sensation. And even then, I might never be.

I can control the hard work. It’s the luck part that is
frustrating. But I don’t allow that to discourage me. Here’s why.
- I know that if I don’t at least make a good faith effort, I have no chance of success at all. So if I want to be successful, I have to make an effort. No good is going to come to me just from wishing.
- Even if I never achieve my dreams, the journey is still worth it.
Whenever I am struggling with something or frustrated and
ready to give up on some project I ask myself one simple question. What am I
doing with my life? The answer is always
the same. Living it. While I have short
and long term goals, my ultimate goal is to live my life to the
fullest. Even if I don’t ever accomplish my other objectives, as long as I’ve
lived life fully and did my best, I’ve succeeded. If I manage to help other people in the process - bonus.
