BE BIG, BAD, and BOLD Right Now!!!
Ladies, you all know what time it is. Its time to claim your rightful place in today's world. That means no more excuses and no more half-stepping. Not claiming your GOD given right to go after your destiny is no longer an option.
As I write this blog every week, I am amazed by the number of BIG GIRLS who personally write me to thank me for helping them overcome their greatest fear...themselves. I know what its like to watch others do BIG things from afar and wish that was me. You know what changed all that? I made a decision that I was going to follow my heart and go after my dreams.
My age, my race, my gender no longer matter and will never stop me from being a BIG GIRL on a mission. Its all about me doing what's best for me and that is achieving dreams that I thought long ago died in my heart but it didn't. It just required me to be fearless. I meant me stepping up to the plate and believing in myself.
That is all that I had to do. Just be me and go after all that I ever wanted. When I turned 33, I started blogging hard, working harder on my business and showing people what's possible in this life.
My advice to all of you..
1. Stop talking about it, BE about it. No more talking a good game. Actually step up to the plate and take the first step towards living your life on your terms.
2. Get over yourself. Life is a magnificent, beautiful journey. Until you actually live it, you are just wasting time.
3. Get rid of the haters in your life. If the people around you aren't grinding and supporting your growth, they are keeping you from your destiny.
4. Know that no matter how BIG the obstacle, RECOGNIZE that it can be overcome with faith and actually believing in yourself.
5. GO BIG OR GO HOME. Just be BOLD and just do it!!!
As I said before, I speak from experience. I went from being a disgruntled attorney who hated her life to actually LOVING the life I am living. I have been on television and in the papers because I made a decision that my goal was to get press and push my business to the next level. Everyday I feel blessed that I stepped off the rat wheel and chased my dreams. Nothing stops me for I never look back and I don't think twice. I just keep moving forward.
You can do it too. Dare to be BIG, BAD and BOLD right now!!! I am behind you 100%. Let's do this in 2012!!!

Unlocking Your Destiny...
There was a time in my life where I felt utterly lost. I just couldn't seem to get myself on the right track and I believed I was a loser. Most of my friends had great jobs, were getting married in exotic locations, having children, and living lives I desperately envied. I kept thinking that something was wrong with me and I was a failure. After all, I went to a great college, graduated from law school and was living in New York City. What gives?
In my early 30s, I started reading self help books and came away with a new understanding. I was constantly comparing myself to other people and in doing so, I was causing myself great heartache. I started to realize that there is only one me and that it was up to me to create the life that I wanted. I didn't have to envy others and have the same things they had. GOD had created only one Precious Williams and I was to be unlike any other person in history.
At first, I was hesitant to make any real decisions or changes in my life. It wasn't that I was comfortable with where I was, it was just that I was frightened with the thought that what if I tried new things and failed. Then, I considered that I was not getting any younger and that NOW is the only time that mattered. Not yesterday, not the future, but NOW. NOW, I can change my life for the better. NOW, I could be the women I always knew that I could be. NOW, I was getting my mojo back!!!
Can I tell you how freeing it is to live life on my terms? I awakened from my slumber and had a vision for my life that I never had before. I had a boldness and fire within that made me a force to be reckoned with in the world. I started writing this blog. I became an an entrepreneur. There was nothing that was not within my grasp.
Unlocking your destiny begins with your willingness to start anew. The key is to to dream big and to think on a level that most people cannot even handle. The comparisons with others or even celebrities has to stop immediately. You are you and you are wonderfully made as you are. Just as there is one Oprah, Beyonce, Queen Latifah and Hillary Clinton, there is only one you!!!
The greatest gift I have had on this journey is learning how to love myself, thoroughly and completely. The more I put myself and my talents in the world, the more love I am getting back in return. Unlocking my destiny began with a willingness to be a better me. You can do this too.
Unlock your destiny...your future begins today...
