Recently I mentioned my Range Rover fund, so I thought I’d tell you a little more about it because there are important lessons to be learned here. And no, it’s not a Go Fund Me and I won’t ask you for money (unless you want to book a project, of course).

Back, oh I don’t know, a year and a half ago or so… after years spent absentmindedly wishing for a black Range Rover, I finally decided to put my money where my mouth is. I set up a goal inside my bank account and titled it Range Rover with a photo of my dream black beauty SUV. In that moment, I pronounced to myself and the universe, for every black Range Rover I see on the road, I will add $25 to this account.

And I kid you not, the universe heard me LOUD + CLEAR — I tallied seven that day. 

I’m inching toward 300 spotted at this point. And I’m overdue for a test drive – something I said I’d do after hitting 5k. So what does this have to do with anything?

Well, in that story I shared recently, I also hinted at manifestation. Say what you will, but where you put your energy matters. And I fully believe that when you dream it, and you believe it, you can do it. Really, it comes down to reverse engineering your goals, but “manifesting” sounds prettier, I guess. 

What is a big goal you’re working toward? Do you have an action plan to make it happen? Are you just wishing on a star or are you working for it? Here are a few tips I’ve learned along the way…

⌁ Dream big + BELIEVE in it. Fully envision yourself doing that thing, driving your Range, making that move, or buying that house. Practice this, picturing yourself in those dreamy moments every day.

⌁ Break it down / reverse engineer that ish and put it on paper. Maybe that’s creating a timeline on your calendar with notifications, or setting up a new bank account, or simply jotting down your plan so you can start taking action.

⌁ Take the action! Manifesting sounds great, but it’s not magic. You gotta put in the effort, make space for what you want, and show the universe you are ready for it.

⌁ Celebrate your progress. Remember it likely won’t happen overnight, so be patient and trust in the process. Enjoy and appreciate the small wins along the way. Every time I see a black Range on the street I do a little “Heck yeh!” dance to myself + then I send myself 25 bucks.

⌁ Don’t turn away opportunity. Your goals may not always come about as you’d think. Sometimes an unlikely sign or scenario opens the door to what you really want. (Did you know I found the new studio after reading my horoscope?!)
