Do you ever feel like the entire world is trying to pop your joy bubble?

You enthusiastically share a new idea with friends, and you’re immediately greeted with, “OK, but be careful…” or “You’ve got a back-up plan, right?”

You proudly purchase the domain name for your new website and your spouse says, “You’re aware that 80% of businesses fail within the first 2 years, right?”

You Google “Tips on how to prepare for a job interview” and you’re greeted with insulting, sexist advice like: Take off your engagement ring because “when a man sees that ring he immediately assumes you are high maintenance” and also women with smaller diamonds than yours “will not like you.” (OMG PEOPLE this ludicrous “advice” was included in a recent post on the official LinkedIn blog. WTF. Did we all just time-travel back to 1952?! I can’t even.)

But here’s the thing:

For every sad, deflating story that you hear, there are hundreds of other stories you might not be hearing.

Stories about women setting goals—and then exceeding them.

Stories about women beating the odds, smashing glass ceilings, and bringing their sisters along with them.

Stories about women #bossingup and getting things done.

Women like… Brett Samuels.

Brett participated in the last session of my goal-slaying program, GO GET IT!

She recently reached out to share an update on her career—and it’s majorly inspiring. Here’s what she said. (I’m sharing her story with permisson, of course).

After relocating and feeling confused about which direction I should go with my career, I signed up for GO GET IT! I determined that there was a great career opportunity for me in real estate. I got my license. I used those crazy effective email templates from GO GET IT! to unlock so many doors. Those emails led me to… my dream job.

I’m happy to report that I am now a full-fledged Sales Executive at The Cliffs: a group of seven luxury communities in the beautiful foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

I get to help people purchase a new home. But I am not just selling real estate. I am selling the dream of a healthy, active lifestyle surrounded by nature. 

As I drive up to the mountains every day, I pinch myself that this is my new “office.” I stop by the little roadside stand to get the freshest veggies and fruit and I’m surrounded by beauty all day long. For the first time since I stepped off the “track” to stay home with my three kids 25 years ago, I feel like I have an exciting career and I couldn’t be happier. 

All of my fellow Go Getters in the program helped me so much by cheering me on, sharing your knowledge and leading by example by daring to dream big and say it out loud! I stepped out of my comfort zone to make it happen!

Brett: you made it happen!!!!!!!!! {no amount of exclamation points will ever be enough}

And THAT’S how you do it, people.

You can listen to the naysayers who insist that your dream is unrealistic.

You can read all the depressing statistics about what’s considered “average” for your profession or industry.

You can allow other people judgments, opinions, and anxieties to pierce your joy bubble and stall your progress.

Or you can choose a goal, create a plan, and make it happen. Like Brett did.

Enrollment is open tomorrow (yaaaas!) for the October / November session of GO GET IT!… a coaching experience that will inspire you, motivate you, and push you to do things you’ve been putting off for way too long.

In this program…

You will: Choose one specific career, business, or income-related goal that feels vitally important to you. (Like, “I want to earn an extra $6K before New Years Eve” or “I want to find a new job that I love in my new hometown!”)

We will: Coach you for six weeks in a row, helping you to meet—or exceed—your goal. You get TWO coaches in this program. Me plus my colleague Ellen Fondiler—a gutsy former attorney and award-winning entrepreneur who will help you unlock doors and negotiate pretty much anything you want.

GO GET IT! is the lowest priced, most affordable coaching program that I offer. Like: a steal of a deal. Sign up here. Get in on this. Because I want to receive a glowing, gushing “I did it!!!!” email from you (just like Brett’s!) about six weeks from now. Let’s get it done.

PS. Any questions about GO GET IT? There’s tons of info here. Still got something you’re wondering about? Email support@susanhyatt.co and ask anything on your mind.
