You may have had a health or life crisis of your own that brought you on a journey of self-discovery, and you want to share that with others. You have learned so much, and want to help others avoid the unnecessary side roads and pitfalls you experienced on this road.

This Statement will be irresistible to
Once that first draft is complete, take the next several weeks to think about and refine it. One way to do this is to set aside 30 minutes once a week to review it. Do this until you feel your purpose has grabbed you by the throat and said, “This is it!”
