I came across this poem that Napoleon Hill included in the original edition of Think and Grow Rich:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”

What wage are you asking of life? Have you been asking and expecting too little? Just because you are a single mom, have been down on your “luck” and seem to struggle for the very basics of life, you don’t have to continue down this path. It’s time to start asking for more and expecting more.
The best way to do this is to start setting goals. Start simply but don’t hesitate to ask for big things. I am more than happy to show you how and share with you how life has been paying me big time. It’s no gimmick or sham, but through desire, determination, and belief I have reached too many goals to count.
