Back in November I set the goal to double my income in six months.  You know how that turned out if you’ve read my results post here.

Shortly after, this was posted on Twitter:

Six Figure Entrepreneur?  Who?  Me?

I actually sat back in my chair and stared at that tweet for a few moments to let is soak in.

You will probably think I’m a nutbar but I hadn’t actually thought in annual numbers yet so I almost didn’t even believe her.  Then I realized it wasn’t the ‘actual number’ that caused my reaction – it was the personal identity that I struggled with.

Me, a six figure a year earner?

Do I still feel like I’m that broke single mom who needed help filling the propane tank, who woke on Thanksgiving to no water because the water pump motor broke and had no money to fix it, who had to let her truck go back to the bank because the payments were soaking up 30% of her take home pay, who had to be satisfied with one $7 game under the Christmas tree for her son..

No, I’m not that person anymore.  I’ve come a long way to be debt free and financially stable.  I no longer think like a broke person but it took some doing.  I had to grow into it and let go of some old mindsets.

I can see that I have some more growing to do and a new mindset to adapt to.

Six Figure Kelly.

I think I’m gonna like her.
