A success story that all began with a little ambition

I just finished reading the success story of Trisha Waldon, a retired millionaire who started her own business when she was 28.  The kicker is that Trisha was a single mother of two, barely surviving on food stamps in the Black Hills of South Dakota (not exactly the opportunity capital of the world).  Her full story can be found here. Trisha claims that her ah ha moment came when she over-heard a teacher at her daughter's school say "You can create your own life." She goes on to say, “I knew I had to take responsibility for my own life. I had been running it according to others and things hadn’t worked out very well.” 


The value of a moment couldn't be more poignantly captured than by this story.  Her reality was dim at best, yet she found that spark of ambition in herself to believe that she was worth not giving up on. The story is inspirational and practical, since the magic fairy godmother didn't wave a wand over her life to put her where she is today.  Trisha achieved through trial and error, but never retreated to her previous place in life. She grew with each moment and over-time began to learn how to properly harness the power of an ambitious spark.  In Trisha's own words she reminds us that it is a day by day process of hard work, but the ambition kept her in a growth mindset, “Getting there was incredibly challenging, I learned by trial and error, I cried a lot..." I am reminded that we all need to believe a little more that we actually can achieve what we know we are worth. It just won't be easy that's all. And that's the starting point of every great success story.
