- SECRET 1: Embrace What You Want
- Women who get what they want are good at knowing what they want. They use phrases like “I’m nuts about it” and “I wouldn’t trade this for anything in the world” and “I’m absolutely in love with what I’m doing”
- It’s a pure sensation and enables you to see what your real desires are. At the bottom of envy is a lavish, all-out sighting of good qualities and registering of awe and amazement at them.

- What four words sum up that thing best?
- Of those four words, which appeals to you most?
- Look around and see what you would steal if you could.

4) You feel an urge to date it.
o 4 More Steps
1) OLD FLAMES: Look Behind You - Was there once something that made you very happy but got left along the side of the road because you thought you were finished with it or had outgrown it?
2) GET AWAY: Get Out of Town – Sometimes what’s holding you back from seeing what you want are the plans and expectations everybody else has for you.
3) BREAK YOUR ROUTINE: Go off the beaten path – break your routine
4) ARTICULATE & ASK: Ask for Advice (Don’t whine) “I’m feeling a little frustrated these days and I don’t know why. Is there something you think I’m not seeing or taking hold of right now?”

2) Do a test drive or test the water
3) Say Yes/Make a Commitment And Let It Be Your Deadline
- Don’t wait. Look for shortcuts!!!
1) Don’t automatically assume you need training simply because it seems “obvious.
2) Sometimes you don’t have to start at the bottom- Look for back doors and shortcuts!
3) Don’t just speak to the “right” person – speak to the best person (the person with the knowledge and power)!
4) Don’t always swallow “pay your dues.” Sometimes people define arbitrarily, or just based on how long it took them, which doesn’t necessarily have to apply to you.
5) Before you take anyone’s advice to “just wait,” always ask yourself, “What am I waiting for?”
