What is Project 9?
When you think about reaching your dreams, what do you imagine? It’s easy to picture what you might do in that moment of celebration, but it’s not easy to imagine the path it takes to get there. And you can’t count on luck to help you reach your dreams. To put it simply, you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than winning the lottery, even if you buy nine tickets.
If you want to change your life and check items off your bucket list, or dream board, then you need to have a plan. Project 9 Life™ helps you break down your big goals into smaller but still meaningful steps that will make it possible for you to achieve your dreams.
Todd's Journey
Way back in 2020, which seems like a lifetime ago, I was just a real estate agent. But when the pandemic hit, I found myself spending more time sitting around the house. Until one day I got up from the couch and looked in the mirror. I was 310lbs and extremely unhealthy.
I didn’t like the way I looked or felt. I was overweight. I wasn’t exercising or eating right. And my relationships were suffering. My kids and I weren’t close. And the rest of my relationships were also starting to head in that same direction. I couldn’t stay the way I was. And I knew what had caused it. I had made the decisions that put me in this spot.
I didn’t want short term change. I wanted to be a different person, so I set out to make long lasting personal growth. I started by creating a 9 point plan, although I didn’t count the steps till later.
I broke down my goal into attainable steps and cut out the obstacles to my success; I even had to leave behind a couple friends who weren’t supporting my new lifestyle. I realized that if I was going to change it had to be done in a way that enabled me to start and maintain the changes.
I didn’t start with running. I worked my way up to it. By changing over time, I built myself up for success. I changed my posture, the way I ate, the way I talked, and the way I live my life.
When I reviewed the changes I had made and the impact it had on my kid’s and my lives, I wanted to help others who, like me, had a goal they wanted to reach. So I started Project 9 as a way to serve and help others achieve their dreams. In the end, memories are all you have to hold on to. Everything else will disappear. So go make memories you can be proud of. Go live your dreams. And if you need help figuring it out, I’m here to show you how to find your why.
