Because there's so much out there about vision boards, visualization, manifestation.

I wanted to be clear about my point of view here.

And I actually begin the book with what I believe is one of the most important things that you can think about.

And it's an important place to start.

It's vision.

And by that, I mean holding a clear vision for your career and for your life.

You've heard me talk about it before in Plan Your Life Like a Business.

It's one of my episodes where I talk about building a business plan for your life.

But I have throughout my life been someone who held a really clearly articulated vision for myself.

I knew exactly what type of woman I wanted to be.

When I was a kid, I manifested it in scrapbook after scrapbook with like little cutouts from old Vogue magazines.

I was dreaming about a different life for me and a different life for my sisters.

I knew that it was out there because I could see it in the magazines and more importantly, in my mind.

What I understood from a really young age is that I could trust the visions that were in my head and I could use them as a signpost for what might be ahead.

But importantly, I never assumed that they were foregone conclusions or a given eventuality.

As a kid, I didn't quite know like how I would achieve them, but I knew I would figure it out.

I understood that my dreams would require work and correlating your vision to your output is what I want to show you.

My next question.

What was the hardest part of the book to write?

I think there's so many of you have asked me, like, what was the hardest part to write?
