Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.
What if I told you that the answer to one question will determine where you are in the next six months?
I mean, right now as I'm talking to you, it is April, a third of the year already gone by,
a third of the year already gone by, and time, it is going to move forward whether you do or not.
Before you know it, October is going to be here, and six months will have gone by in
the blink of an eye.
So are you ready to answer the one question that will determine where you are when it comes.
Hey, it's your friend Mel. I'm so glad that you are here with me today because today you're
going to answer one question that will determine where your life leads you in the next six
months.
And I know you're ready to answer it because you chose to listen to this episode.
And the fact that you did, it tells me that you do want to create a better life
and that you want to know how to make cool things happen.
And I'm here to help you do it.
Because today's episode, I don't really think about it as a conversation.
I think about this episode as a free workshop.
How cool is that?
It's a workshop where I'm going to ask you a question that will help you become laser-focused
about what you're going to make happen in the next six months.
Because time is going to keep moving, whether you do or not. And after today's workshop, one thing is for sure,
you're not going to let that time just pass you by
because you are going to make something really cool happen
in the next six months.
Now I know that we have a ton of new listeners
to the Mel Robbins podcast.
So first of all, I just wanted to thank you for tuning in,
for spending some time with
me.
It's a real honor to be here with you.
We also want to welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family.
And I think it's important that I give you a little bit of background if you're new,
okay?
I often do these free series that help you take what you're learning on the Mel Robbins
Podcast and apply it to your life at a deeper level.
I always do one at the end of the year to help you create the best year that you can
and to find your goals.
And this episode that you're listening to, yeah, it's like a free workshop, but it's
part of a series that I'm launching right now called Make It Happen that helps you translate
what you want into action, okay? Because I do believe that you have big dreams, and they're really important.
And I also believe that setting goals is critical to you creating a better life.
Because dreams and goals, they do two really important things.
First of all, they give you a sense of direction, and they define a game worth playing.
And when you define goals and when you have big dreams, it basically helps you lift yourself
out of the day-to-day minutiae and create more meaning and excitement in your life.
And so, you know, as I mentioned, I do these free workshops, and there's always one that
I do at the beginning of the year.
If you didn't take it, no problem.
The one that I did at the beginning of this year was called Best Year and I led a workshop
on how you go through the process of setting goals in order to make this the best year
of your life.
And I'm really proud to share with you that almost a million of you not only took the
workshop on how to create the best year, but you also
downloaded the free 29-page workbook that acted as a companion to that workshop.
And I filled out the workbook with you, and I planned out my goals for an incredible 2024
to make this the best year, and I'm going to come back to that in a minute.
But here's the thing.
That was four months ago, right? It seemed like a long the thing. That was four months ago. Right? Seemed like a
long time ago. It was four months ago. And as I'm taping this right now here in the United
States, it's April. We're in the height of spring. And that means that four months have
gone by since you and I planned out the year. Four months have gone by in your life too.
And whether you were part of the Best Year Workshop or not,
whether you set goals for 2024 or not,
I'm just wondering, how's it going?
Do you even know how you're tracking
against the goals you set for yourself?
Or if you weren't that intentional
about what you wanted to make
happen this year, are you thinking about the things that you thought you would take on
this year? And I'm pointing this out not to be a jerk, not to call you out, but to say
it is so easy and fun to plan, isn't it? But the devil is really in the details of
the execution. So I wanted to use our time today
to help you think about the next six months,
because we're a third of the way through the year.
And the things that you wanna make happen,
they're not gonna happen by accident.
They will happen on purpose.
So I've shown up here with a really big purpose,
and that is to help you define a game worth
playing over the next six months and to teach you how to make it happen.
And I've designed our conversation today to be a workshop so that you can get very serious
about the next six months of your life for real.
Like what's going to happen between now and October?
And then we're going to talk about how to make it happen.
And so before we kind of jump into the meat of this workshop,
I want to give you a few sort of instructions on the logistics.
First of all, this episode has a free companion workbook.
If you're watching me on YouTube, you can see it right now.
It's bright green. It says, Make It Happen with Mel Robbins.
If you are listening, you can kind of hear that I've got this in my hands. And I want
to tell you something, you want to get your hands on this puppy and you can download it
for free at melrobbins.com slash make it happen. That's melrobbins.com slash make it happen.
Now let me tell you what's going to happen when you go to MelRobbins.com slash make it
happen.
First of all, there's going to be a welcome video for me.
Secondly, you're going to be able to download this workbook.
And third, you will also see that I've created two brand new video trainings that you can
watch on your own time that will help you go even deeper into this free workbook, and it will be an extension
of this podcast episode, which is really kind of kicking off this project called Make It
Happen.
So just go to MelRobbins.com slash Make It Happen, and once you download your workbook,
it's right here in my hands.
I can't wait till you see this.
I will send you a link to the video trainings once they're live and you can watch them when you want.
And one of the reasons why I'm doing this for you,
and I'm going the extra mile here is simple.
I'm humbled that your support made the Mel Robbins podcast
the number five most followed podcast
in the world on Apple last year.
And we have consistently been ranked in the top 10 podcasts
on all platforms in the entire world for the past four months this year.
You did that.
And as you know, I'm on a mission to empower you with tools to help you create
a better life.
And I want you to not just listen and learn and be inspired and empowered and to feel
like you're not alone and that you're here with your buddy Mel Robbins, but I really,
truly want you to take action and apply what you're learning to your life because it's
only through the action that you will make it happen, that you will see change stick, and that you
will see your life getting better.
And when I saw that almost a million of you downloaded the guide to creating the best
year and setting goals, I was like, okay, I got to figure out how to help you go a little
further.
We got to take the next step.
Now that you're clear about what matters to you,
about what your goals are, I wanna help you bridge that gap
between creating the plan and making the plan a reality,
okay, where we go from thought to action.
And the coaching that I do and the workshop that I do
every year at the end of the year is about creating a great year.
It's about getting clear about what you want.
Here's how this workshop is different.
It's a check-in about what you want, but it's focused on translating that to the actions that make it happen.
And if you're somebody who's been working on your plan, you've been creating the best year ever, you're going to the gym, you're writing the novel,
you've gotten a new job, you're getting a better mindset,
you're taking the steps, fan-frickin'-tastic,
then you're gonna use this training
as an important opportunity to really define for yourself
even clearer targets that you're gonna hit
in the next six months.
Maybe you're gonna raise the game, Maybe you're gonna pivot on the game.
Maybe you're gonna add in something entirely new
because you're just kicking ass and taking names.
Because if you've already been working on some of your goals,
then you've probably learned some things
in the past four months.
And in fact, I can give you two examples
of this from my own life.
So at the beginning of the year,
one of my goals this year was to get my hormones balanced
and to take control of my health and to stop complaining about it.
And I've got to say something, Mel Robbins, you've done good, kid, because for the past
four months, I've been doing more resistance training.
I've been following the expert advice.
I've been putting myself through a gut reset program.
I've been doing the intermittent fasting.
I've been doing a lot of zone two cardio.
And you know what?
It's working.
Pretty cool, you know?
Kind of neat that when you take the simple advice
that's backed by science and you actually do it,
you see the results.
However, four months in, I've learned a lot.
And I'm seeing a lot of progress.
And I want to assess where I am and make a very intentional and strategic decision about
where I'm going to go next.
And let me give you another example of why a pivot is super important.
Because another goal that I set at the beginning of the year when I did the workshop on creating the best year was I really wanted to make it a goal to save money.
I haven't a squat about it.
I mean, nada, nothing.
In fact, if I had to guess, I've been so unintentional about it that I've not only not made saving
happen, I've probably spent
more money than I usually do.
Now, this goal still kind of matters to me, but if I plan on saving money and making that
happen, then I got to use this workshop to give myself a reality check because I'm going
to need to do something different.
I got to show up differently in the next six months.
I gotta have a different approach.
And so in both of these examples,
whether it's the strength training, which has been working,
or my goal of saving money, which I failed miserably at,
I will benefit from taking a beat
and using this workshop to create a strategic pivot, right?
You refine what you're doing and clarify your goals or you remove it to make room for something
that you actually care about.
And by taking the time today to go through this workshop with you, as I teach it, I'm
also going to be doing it, and I assess what I really want to make happen in the next six months.
It will help me with both those goals.
And whether I pivot on the approach
or I decide I don't care about that right now
and I want to focus on something else,
that idea is so important and most of the time,
you do not take the time to do that.
So whether you've set goals for this year or not,
whether you're making progress for this year or not, whether you're making progress on
your goals or not, this workshop and the episode you're listening to, the perfect thing for you
to spend time on today, because it will leave you with a big game for the next six months.
So go to MelRobbins.com slash make it happen.
Get your workbook.
Get it.
And please share this episode and then share the workbook signup with absolutely everyone
you know.
What was so cool about the one that we did at the end of the year is so many of you filled
out the year-end planning guide with your family.
Oh my God.
And it made a huge difference.
You actually got together. You did it in person.
And it improved the dynamic and the energy and the relationships in your family. I also saw so many
of you online posting about it with your teams and your roommates and your friends. It was so cool.
Well, guess what? This workshop, exact same power and possibility. Share it, share it, share it,
because it's gonna translate the clarity
that you will have into action.
And the truth is, there's no reason why
you can't make these next six months amazing.
There's no reason why you can't make big things happen.
And that's exactly what this workshop is going to do.
So please share it.
All right, got it?
Good, let's jump into it.
So that one question that will determine
where you are in six months is this.
What do you wanna make happen
in the next six months of your life?
I'm gonna ask that question again.
What do you want to make happen in the next six months of your life?
And I want you to really consider that.
As I mentioned, I'm recording this in April.
We're almost a third of the way through the year already.
Just wrap your brain around that, because six months is going to pass like that.
What do you want to make happen in the next six months of your life?
I'm going to ask you to just truly think about it.
And I'm going to invite our sponsors to tell you a little bit about what they do because
they allow me to bring you this free workshop at zero cost.
And as you listen to our sponsors, I want you to think about where you want your life
to be six months from now.
What do you want to make happen?
And I'm going to be waiting for you after a short break to continue digging into your
answer.
Stay with me. Welcome back.
It's your friend Mel Robbins, and today I'm asking you a question that will determine
where you are in the next six months of your life.
And it's a powerful question.
And I want to remind you, if you have not downloaded the free workbook right here that
goes with this workshop we're doing today.
I want you to go to MelRobbins.com slash make it happen.
Get your hands on this workbook because we are going to dig deep into this question.
What do you want to make happen in the next six months of your life?
And I keep saying that time is going to pass.
We're a third of the way through the year already.
And I want you to truly just think about how much time
has gone by so fast.
Like, it just seems like yesterday that it was New Year's.
And the fact is, six months, it is going to just pass
in the blink of an eye.
When I think about the next six months, holy cow, my son, he's going to graduate from high school. Do you know how fast that time is
going to go? We're going to fly through the spring. Graduation is going to be here, and
then we're going to be into the summer. And next thing you know, I'm going to look up
and it's going to be fall and we're going to be dropping him off at college. And wherever
it is that you're watching this right now or you're listening to my words,
just take a minute and think about the next six months.
In fact, close your eyes if you can and time travel with me six months from now. And imagine what you want your life to look like.
For me, when I time travel ahead six months from right now,
it's October.
I'm turning 56.
Chris and I will be empty nesters.
One of our daughters will have moved to New York.
The other one will be out in Los Angeles.
Our son will be off at college.
Where will you be?
Six months from now?
What's it feel like in your day-to-day life?
What's happening in your career?
How have your relationships or your friendships changed?
Are you making more money?
Has your health changed?
Are you happier?
Where are you?
Did you move?
I really want you to stop and visualize it. What do you want to make happen in the next six months of your life?
What do you want it to feel like?
And as you really start to turn that over in your mind, I'm going to share with you
some of the things that come to mind for me.
And as I'm sharing the things that I see
when I time travel forward
and I allow myself to imagine life six months from now
and I think about what do I want to make happen?
I want you to continue to be in your own life six months from now.
And in the workbook, which helps you dive deep into this question, you're going to see
that there are five categories that define your life that will help you consider what
do you want to make happen in your life in the next six months?
And these, by the way, are the same five categories that you used when we did the best year planning
workshop because these are the categories that make up your whole life.
And those categories are health and wellness.
What do you want to make happen as it relates to your health and wellness in the next six months? Second category, career, money, school.
What do you want to make happen? You may be starting a new school. You may be
starting a new career. Has your business taken off? Third category, relationships,
love, friendship.
What's going on in that area of your life six months from now?
Happiness.
I love this category because it's like hobbies and how you feel and your daily habits and
what it's like at your home.
Are you happier?
God, I hope you're happier.
And the final category is you really sit and contemplate that question, what do I want
to make happen in the next six months of my life?
Purpose, spirituality, meaning.
Just really allow yourself to travel ahead.
Here's a couple things that jump out for me when I think about six months from now, and
it's October and I'm 56 and Chris and I are empty nesters.
So in the area of happiness, that one kind of jumped out first.
For me, when I go ahead six months, I immediately started to think about my home, probably because
I said the word empty nester,
right? And as I'm walking around my home with Chris, and it's just us and the two dogs,
something kind of funny popped into my mind. And this is one of the categories that you will be
led through in your workbook to go deeper and journal on.
But here's what jumped out for me with happiness.
So I live in southern Vermont, and we have lived in this house that we have renovated,
and I just love this place, and now we've lived here full-time for two years. Do you know, there is not a single framed photo
of anyone in my family on any wall of this house.
And if I'm being perfectly honest, if I float through
and I think about countertops or, you know, kind of those
nice side tables that people have or shelves.
I don't have any photos there either.
I mean, we've been living in this house for two years.
And there's this one wall that is over a bench
that we have in this breakfast area off the kitchen.
And when we designed the house,
you know what I always imagined?
I imagined one of those beautiful picture walls.
I don't know if you've ever been in somebody's house
or maybe this is your house
where you have one of those walls
that is just so beautiful where it's matching frames
and everything's lined up
and it's great photos of the family.
I have always wanted a photo wall of the family.
And when we designed the house, I'm like,
I am gonna hang photos there.
Well, guess what?
I've been thinking about that for two years.
It hasn't happened.
Why?
Because things don't happen by accident.
They happen because you make them happen.
And so one thing I really do want to wake up and see that I have done in the next six
months, because it's gonna make me happier, especially when Chris and I are empty nesters,
is to walk into the breakfast area of the kitchen
in October and see that that wall is done.
That would make me happier, for real.
Let me give you another example of something
that comes to mind for me.
In the area of relationship, love, and friendship,
when I time travel ahead six months,
what do I wanna make happen in that area of my life?
This is very, very clear for me.
I want to look back on these last six months
and see that I spent a ton of time with our son, Oakley,
because I feel that I am in that moment,
it's like a melting ice cube.
It is disappearing, the time that I have with him
is disappearing before my eyes.
And so it is super important to me
when I think about that area of my life,
that in the next six months,
I spend as much time with Oakley as I can,
and I gotta make that happen.
And you know what that's like, you kinda set this intention
and then you mean to do it and then you don't do it.
Why?
Because life is busy.
That's why you have to get serious about turning this
into a project that you're gonna make happen.
I think about my parents.
In the next six months,
I wanna spend more time with my parents.
In fact, my dad has just gone through the situation
where three of his friends
have had these catastrophic things happen.
Two have died, like suddenly,
and one of them fell downstairs
and like broke just about every single bone. And we know that that is a horrible thing to have happen. Two have died, like suddenly, and one of them fell downstairs and like broke
just about every single bone. And we know that that is a horrible thing to have happen.
And my dad is turning 80 this year, and I want to spend more time with my parents in the next six
months. I have to make that happen. And it's not going to happen by accident. It happens on purpose.
And it's not going to happen by accident. It happens on purpose.
So the next category, if I travel ahead six months,
is career, money, or school.
I've got so much I want to do there.
But what I got to do first is take a short break
so we can hear a word from our amazing sponsors.
But here's what's going to happen.
I'm going to be waiting for you after the break.
I want you to continue to think about that question. What do you want to make happen in the next six months of your
life? And when we return, I'm going to share what I want to see happen in my life, what
I'm going to make happen, I should say, in my career, because it's some pretty big stuff
and I know it's going to inspire you to think big too. So stay with me, we'll be right back. We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. workshop about how you can make some amazing things happen in the next six months, that
by October, when you look up, you will see things that you've done that make you so proud.
And I've been asking you over and over this one question that's going to determine what
happens in your life over the next six months.
What do you want to make happen?
Imagine that it's October,
and I want you to think about your career
and think about money or think about school,
and allow yourself to drift to October and look up.
What have you done that you're proud of?
For me, when I think about where I am in October,
holy smokes, I am going to publish my next book,
the Let Them Theory.
Yep, I'm writing a book about the Let Them Theory
and it's coming out in mid-September,
which means six months from now,
I am going to be in the middle of a massive book launch.
And that doesn't happen by accident.
I got to plan for success, just like you need to plan for success.
So that's going to have to be something I'm journaling about in this workbook.
I got to get going on that.
That's going to take a lot of work.
And if you want more success in your career or in school, it's going to take work.
And so let's start today in making that happen.
Here's another thing I think about.
I don't know if I've talked about this on the podcast or not with you guys, but I have
this desire to launch a product company in the women's health space.
You know, I mentioned that I'm in this super confusing supplement routine for my hormone
balance.
It's working, but it's so confusing that it has lit this fire inside me that I'm like,
I gotta do something about this, I gotta simplify this,
I gotta figure out something in this space
to help everybody translate this confusing expert advice
and all this supplement stuff, like I gotta do something.
And six months from now, if I really get quiet
and I time travel, and I go,
what do I want to make happen?
Here's what I see.
I see that I have done the research on the space, that I've got a business plan
sketched out, that I know where the funding is coming from, whether I'm going to fund
it or I'm raising money, and I also know who I'm going to recruit to be the CEO of this
thing.
That's a lot, but that's what I see.
And I can wish for it, I can want it, but that doesn't make it happen.
If I truly wanna make it happen,
I gotta convert that wanting and wishing
into a plan of action.
And you know what I'm realizing as I say this
is something else,
because those two things have come up in my career,
this massive book launch for the LetThem Theory,
which is coming out in mid-September,
and this desire to spin off
and launch this incredible company is that,
you know how I said I had that goal of saving money?
That that was part of the goal setting
that I did for best year?
Here's what I'm realizing.
I don't really care about saving money right now because I have too much going on.
And the fact is, I have been saving money for years.
I mean, I'm like a squirrel hoarding my nuts.
I have been squirreling away money because I'll tell you something.
If you've ever faced bankruptcy like I have if you have ever been in
such financial distress that you can't pay for groceries like I have
You get to a point where you never let yourself do that again. And so I have been saving for years
I'm extremely risk-averse. I've lost so much money in the past that I am not gonna let that happen again.
But here's what I realize in this moment
as I'm talking to you,
is that I don't care about making that a project right now.
I don't care about making that happen
because I already kind of do that anyway.
And just being able to say that this isn't a priority,
this is so liberating.
Is there something that you created as a goal
at the beginning of the year that you're realizing now
that it's April, you're like,
I actually don't really care about that.
I just kind of said that and I cared about it then,
but the truth is life has changed
or I realized the work that it's gonna take
and I'm being honest with myself.
Like why have something on your list
that you have no desire to make happen?
So here's another takeaway.
Your friend Mel Robbins, I'm giving you permission right now.
As you go through your workbook,
melrobbins.com slash make it happen.
As you go through this workbook,
there is a page in here where you can list out the things
that were once a priority
that are just not a priority anymore.
That is a moment of honesty that you need to have with yourself.
Clear away the guilt.
Seriously, clear it off your to-do list.
Take it out of the best year goals and create room for something that you care about that
you actually will make happen.
And let me tell you why this matters.
It matters because it's so easy to find yourself lulled
into this kind of robotic autopilot mode in your life,
right, where one day blends into the next.
And, you know, it's basically get up, go to work,
come home, make dinner, clean the kitchen, go to bed.
Get up, go to work, come home, make dinner,
clean the kitchen, go to bed.
It's just like, what the hell?
You've already forgotten what it is that you cared about because you're so exhausted.
Next thing you know, you're like, wait, four months have gone by, six, it's October already and I didn't even do anything?
Not happening to you. Defining a game worth playing over the next six months
will create meaning and excitement in your life.
Sometimes the only thing that's missing from your life
is a project that's worth getting out of bed for.
I mean, think about it.
When you have a kid that's playing a sport, right?
And they're like driving towards the championship
and a winning season,
you're driving towards something. And the fact that they're playing that big the championship and a winning season, you're driving towards something.
And the fact that they're playing that big game
of having a winning season,
that creates excitement and meaning.
When you're planning a wedding,
when you're looking for a new apartment,
when you're training for a marathon,
when you're taking a class,
it creates excitement and meaning.
And don't look at these things
that you wanna make happen as a chore.
That's not what the next six months of your life is about.
You get to choose.
This is an opportunity to infuse the next six months of your life with something better,
something worth getting out of bed for, something worth not getting lulled into that,
oh, get up, I've got to work, I just do the same old shit all the time.
And look, you wanna know what's so cool is that I've only covered the first few pages
of the workbook for real.
As I've asked you to time travel,
as I've asked you to consider this question
over and over and over again,
what do you wanna make happen
in the next six months of your life?
Think about these categories and the workbook is going to take you even deeper. This is such a gift
to give to yourself. And look, I could keep going, but here's what I can feel. I can already feel
your desire to download the workbook. I can feel your desire to start imagining some kind of project
that you can take on and design for yourself,
something that is going to make the next six months
just awesome, something that you wanna make happen.
And look, it could be something that is kind of simple
and crafty, like my photo wall.
Do you know how happy I'm gonna be
that I actually made that happen?
And it's gonna take a lot more work than you would think.
I gotta pick the photos, I gotta figure out the measurement,
I gotta figure out the size.
Like it actually will take time.
It sounds kind of stupid,
but it doesn't matter if it sounds stupid to you.
This is something that matters to me,
and this is really important.
If you want the next six months of your life to be awesome, you
got to pick something that is personally important to you. That if you were to
work on it and see yourself chip away at it, it would give your life a sense of
purpose. It would create some momentum. It would really infuse you with this
energy and this enthusiasm. That's why this
matters. Yes, we're going to talk all about how you translate this project into action. But first,
I got to get you to start dreaming a little bit. I got to get you to define what would really help
you come alive. And so here's how this is going to work. The second you go to MelRobbins.com
slash make it happen, you will see a little video from me welcoming you.
You will get a copy of the workbook right there
and I've even taken the steps with my amazing team.
You can download it, you can print it.
We even have a low ink format.
This is bright green and really colorful.
You can do one in black and white
or we've created an electronic
format for you too, all for free.
That's all you have to do to be registered for this free workshop.
Just go to MelRobbins.com slash make it happen.
And then what's going to happen is there are two in-depth video trainings.
And those video trainings will help you translate this into action.
I'm gonna walk you through all the remaining exercises
in the workbook in those videos,
and I'm gonna teach you a bunch of principles.
Some that are strategies that business consultants use
with some of the top companies in the world.
We're gonna talk about a principle from physics
called the domino effect that will teach you how to take action,
how to get started, how to leverage momentum and fight
inertia, and for everyone in your life who is graduating
right now, this is an incredibly important thing for
you to give them because it will help you define what you
want to make happen in the next six months.
Because think about graduation.
Holy cow, you know what happens when graduation hits?
Holy smokes, it's like, whew, a tidal wave.
And it sweeps you right into summer.
And the next thing you know, you look up and six months is gone.
This is also exactly what anyone in your life needs if they've
been laid off, or if they're looking for a better job job or they're thinking about applying to graduate school or they're
launching a business.
This workshop gives you the structure to define it and then it will give you the tools and
the teaching that you need to translate it to action.
The difference between time moving forward without you and you moving forward with it
is taking a minute right now
to figure out what you wanna make happen during that time.
Just imagine how different you will feel
if you look up and it's October.
And you aren't thinking about that side hustle,
but it's actually up and running, and it's
making money.
You know how proud you're going to be of yourself?
Just as proud as I'm going to be when I walk into my kitchen and I sit down for a cup of
coffee and I look up at the beautiful photo wall that I'd been thinking about for the
last two years and I finally got off my rear end and I stopped
thinking about it, and I made it happen.
That is what's available to you.
To stop talking and to start doing.
To stop wishing and wanting, and to start creating.
That's what we're doing here.
And all you need to do is go to MelRobbins.com slash make it happen and get yourself set up.
And I'm gonna be there to support you
with the two video trainings and this free workbook
where we are gonna help you master
going from thought to action.
That's how you do it.
And I want you to make the next six months
absolutely amazing because there's nobody like you, nobody.
And that's why I'm here.
Because I'm not gonna let all that incredible impact
and momentum and energy and ideas and heart and spirit
and the difference that you can make for yourself,
for your family, for the community
and for the world around you go to waste.
So why not take this opportunity
to make something incredible happen in the next six months.
Download the workbook, do the exercises,
be honest with yourself,
and let's make something amazing happen by October.
And in case no one else tells you,
I wanted to make sure that I tell you
that I love you and I
believe in you and I believe in your ability to create a better life. Now go
use these free tools, define it and let me help you make it happen. Alrighty, I'll
talk to you in a few days.
