‘If you want to have an exceptional life and do exceptional things, you have to put yourself in exceptional situations.” ~Jesse Itzler

And let’s be honest, most days are not so exceptional. They are all pretty much repeats of the day before. Every day.

So how do you create an exceptional life?

You seek out “exceptional situations” — and then jump in with both feet!

And, that is exactly what I did!

In my email recently starting with [Part 1], I shared my latest “exceptional thing” — called “Driveway To Hell” — I was scared, nervous, excited, … all. the. feelings!

Here’s a quick recap of the event:

* 13.1 miles up and down the driveway of Sara Blakely and Jesse’s driveway — gaining 3000 feet of elevation (for context, the Boston Marathon — including Heartbreak Hill — is 900 ft!)
* 5 hours to complete it!
* BYOT (bring your own tent) or rent a tent for accommodations
* World class speakers, like Inky Johnson, Ken Rideout, and Chris Hauth 
* Cold plunges and sauna treatment from Embrace North
* Incredible food and snacks all along the way from “Souper Jenny”

Now I promised you some quick lessons learned…

My fingers looked like hot dogs and I started to lose feeling in them…

It was only 3 miles in for a 13.1 mile race and the dehydration started to kick in.

You see, I was participating in a brand-new event aptly called:

This was by far the hardest challenge that I have ever willingly signed myself up for. 

I flew from Boston to Atlanta (on standby as my original flight was canceled), stayed overnight, drove 90 minutes to Rome, GA, and bussed to the secret site, which was the driveway of the farm/ cabins owned by Sara Blakely (founder of Spanx) and Jesse Itzler (NYT best-selling author, co-founder of Marquis Jet and partner in Zico Coconut Water, and an owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks).

After 2020 and 2021 felt like survival, I wanted more from 2022, so I joined a program called “The Calendar Club”, all about doing more of what we love every day by creating winning habits, winning routines and a winning mindset. That program is through the “Build Your Life Resume” company which put on this event, so I got an advanced invitation to this wild and crazy ride.

Setting the Scene:

But we didn’t stay in cabins or a hotel. 185 of us (me and my internet friends) camped out in a tent colony at the bottom of the “hill” in a beautiful forest. Well… beautiful until it stormed Saturday night or you looked too closely and noticed the poison ivy or the spiders. Yikes!

Let me know if this sounds familiar…

You started your business to help people.

And let’s be honest, to pay yourself too. 

So then why do so many mompreneurs struggle to successfully run a business *and* raise a family, without feeling like this…?

Why aren’t more mompreneurs thriving in their business? 

[Discover a MUCH better alternative here.]

Because despite our intentions to serve and help, owning your own business can chew you up and spit you out.

You may feel like the best kept secret on the internet, 

Or that no one wants your services, 

Or that this whole business thing might be a big mistake.

I’m here to tell you that absolutely doesn’t have to be the case.

Your business can thrive! 

You can create more income *and* impact, when you focus on the activities that matter.
