Some day when this happens, or when I achieve this, then all of a sudden there's going to be this like amazing magical moment where the clouds part and rainbow shoot out of the sky, and then I'm going to be happy, then everything's going to be amazing.

And it's like, no, must make life happier, more joy filled every single day because we're doing things that are tied to something so much bigger than us.

You're listening to the redefining wealth podcast with Patrice Washington, where we chase purpose, not money. I'm your host Patrice Washington and welcome back to another episode.

I am so excited about today. We're sitting down with my girl productivity expert author, amazing entrepreneur, Tonya Dalton.

She is here to teach us how to reverse engineer our goals by using what she calls cathedral thinking. This is a game changer and she shows us how we can build cycles of self trust.

Many of us just don't go after what we want because we don't trust ourselves to actually get there. You're going to want to stick around, but before we jump in to this week's episode, let's get to our affirmation of the week.

You know, you got to speak positivity and to your life, to your day. You got to affirm positivity. You got to affirm abundance. You got to affirm yourself the world.

This week's affirmation is I am clear about my goals and focused on intentionally bringing them forth. It is impossible to get what I want out of life if I don't know what I want in life.

I need to be clear about my intentions in order to bring them forth. I must write them down and be as concise with any details as possible, especially those dealing with numbers or financial objectives.

I will break larger goals into smaller steps to make them more realistic and achievable. Clarity breeds competency. Clarity breeds confidence. And when I am clear, opportunities will appear and begin to lead me in the direction of everything I say I want effortlessly.

Today's guest is my girl, Tonya Dawson. She's a best-selling author, speaker, and nationally recognized productivity expert. Tonya is the founder and CEO of Inquil Press Productivity Company, a multi-million dollar company providing tools that work as a catalyst and helping women do less while achieving maximum success.

She's also the host of the podcast, the intentional advantage, receiving millions of downloads from listeners around the world.

Serving as a growth strategist for female leaders, Tonya's first book, one of my favorites, The Joy of Missing Out, was named one of the top 10 business books of the year by Fortune Magazine.

And her highly anticipated second book on purpose, The Busy Woman's Guide to an Extraordinary Life of Meaning and Success, will be on sale next week, October 12th. Without further ado, here's my girl, Tonya Dawson.

Welcome to the reading part of the podcast, Tonya.

We're going to have so much fun, Patrice. I mean, because you and I, we could talk forever.

I know. We always say that. I finally was like, I should probably start the clock, like we should probably start recording, or we'll just talk for an hour.

But what I love is that every time we talk, I just learn something from you. I'm always so encouraged. And I feel so blessed to have access to a woman like you that I can face time with you and chat with you and text with you.

And you know, it was just like a couple months ago that you came to the committee to the call challenge that I was doing. And the women were so blessed, Tonya, and they still talk about you.

Oh, that's so nice. Thank you. Thank you for that. You know, I think, you know, you and I, of course, are so aligned. And we just, we really want to impact women and let them see that their best life is out there. And so,

to hear those amazing words from you and to hear that you're your followers and the women in your community have been impacted by me. That just that makes my whole day makes my whole week.

Oh, I love it. I love it. Okay. So I want to start here, Tonya.
