The one thing that changes everything

Jul 15, 2025

What if the vision you cast isn’t off track but just waiting for you to believe in it?

At the midpoint of the year, many people go looking for strategy—a reset, a fresh plan, something to help them “get back on track.”

And while there’s value in solid strategy, here’s what I’ve discovered from decades of working with high-achieving women:

Strategy matters. But it’s not the starting line.

I’m often asked, “What’s the one thing I need to do to reach my goal?”

People expect a checklist. A magic formula. A hack.

But my answer is simple: 

Belief.

You have to fall in love with your vision.

And you have to choose to believe in it again.

Not halfway. Not with hesitation. But fully—and before the evidence shows up.

That’s the difference between hoping and creating.

Trust the Order

Think of it like this.

You sit down at a restaurant. The server asks what you’d like to drink.
You say, “I’ll have a Diet Coke, please.” (Don’t judge me.)

Then what?

You don’t worry about the glass, the can, the timing.

You don’t question whether it will arrive.

You don’t chase down the server or ask again to make sure.

You simply trust the order is in process.

What if your vision works the same way?

You cast it.

You align with it.

You expect it.

And then you stop micromanaging the how and when–and start showing up like a woman who knows it’s already in motion.

A Midyear Realignment

I invite you to pause, right here, midyear—and ask a few deep, visionary questions:

  • What did you once believe was possible… that you’ve since downgraded or delayed?
  • Where have you let doubt overshadow your direction?
  • And if we met one year from today, what do you want to be celebrating?

Is it possible that it’s not about a new dream but rather a renewed belief in the one you already have?

The second half of the year doesn’t need to be a repeat of the first.

It can be the part where the trajectory shifts—because you did.

Final Thought

You may not know how.
You may not know when.

But belief is not about certainty in the details.  It’s about faith in the outcome.

One of my mentors, Jack Canfield, once said something over lunch that changed how I think about belief:

“You’re making it up either way. You can imagine it working—or imagine it not working. So why not imagine it working?”

That’s belief. And that's the work I do every day—with leaders, from stages, and inside the pages of my upcoming book.  Helping women build lives, businesses, and legacies rooted in conviction and vision.

Because belief changes what’s possible.

And belief is where true momentum begins.
