Opportunity.
How bad do you REALLY want it.
I want it. I want to get to a really big playing field.
Where do YOU want to go? Be? Aspire to become? Do you talk about it? Or do you
get up off you’re a$$ and do something about it? Because baby, that’s the only
way it’s going to happen. You're wearing your own Ruby Slippers!
This world is diluted. It’s over saturated with people who
do EVERYTHING and do it well. Better than you & me for that matter. You
have to HUSTLE. It’s a dying art. But my ex military father instilled a work
ethic in me like none I’ve ever seen. And I hated it when I was a kid, but now,
what a blessing.
“Pick that up,” he’d bellow at a store. “It’s not mine,” I’d
say. My dad would tell me it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t belong there, so pick
it up and put it away… And all these years later, I’ve been picking things up
EVERYWHERE! Lol. Even when it wasn't my responsibility...
And Have you seen my
arms lately? Ha ha. :-)
When I’m not
fronting The Goldy lockS Band, I have a photography studio, where I shoot the
most incredible people on the planet. (www.thefactoryphotography.com)
When I’m
not shooting, I have an accessory line, that I make much of myself. (www.thefactorybygoldylocks.com)
I also do motivational speaking to kids, adults and people in chemical
dependency centers. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaWe2vTjFWE)
I want to become the world’s Blue Collar Rachael Ray or Rock’N Roll Martha
Stewart!
In my now “Spare” time, I shoot my own show, Goldy Knows. (www.youtube.com/goldyknows) You need
to check it out. It’s a lot of fun, and it actually helps people. And all this
crazy stuff I do? I’m going to keep doing it on a bigger & bigger scale and
be able to REALLY help people out who need it.
All my strength, power, it comes first & foremost from
God, then my badass family and then YOU. All of you, the millions of people
combined on my social media sites power me and breathe strength that burns
through my veins. All the emails, posts, replies, LIKES, SHARES… everything.
You all are amazing. And when people ask where I get my energy from, it’s truly
YOU.
What’s the point of this blog? To put you all over! (Wrestling Term) It means compliment.
But it’s mostly to say, whatever you dream
of, desire, work for it.
Don’t expect it to be handed to you. Cause it’s not
gonna happen. And if it is? It doesn’t mean jack sh!t. So come by it honestly.
I was at my agency today. A very pristine establishment that
houses the stars you all have come to know & love, go see in concert, but
records… One of the workers there needed some help. It’s grunt work. But I
always say, “Give it to me!” If I’m off & not doing any of the above,
honey, I’ll do it!
Today I had a meeting for Goldy Knows IV. Wasn’t expecting
to do any of my “other” work. But? An opportunity presented itself. So I found
a pair of flats & a tank top and worked in a pretty hot office attic where
I’ve filed and moved hundreds of boxes. I finally decided, well, if I have to do this in my damn underwear... so be it! Hope no one comes up here! And all I can say is dear God, thanks
for the opportunity! Undies and all! baha!
Carpe Diem!
Seize The Day!
This blog is dedicated to 2 amazingly strong women who
continue to help me in ways no one will ever know. #HannahGarber & AO, I recognize you both &
love you.
Namaste
