4 Simple Steps to a Achieve a Scary Goal

Stories of Hope in Hard Times

Have you ever had an impression to do something that scares you? Today I share the ICAN steps to help you overcome fear and reach your goal. (Plus you get a sneak preview of my new song, Don't Give Up.)

What do you do when an intriguing but scary idea pops into your head, and you're pretty sure God wants you to take some action?

4 Simple Steps to a Achieve a Scary Goal

Let me introduce the acronym ICAN to help you remember 4 simple steps.

1. Impression/Inspiration
2. Communicate with God
3. Act on baby steps
4. Navigate continuously until you reach your goal

The Project I've Been Working for 1 and 1/2 years

To show you how I have used the ICAN method, I am giving my podcasting audience the first peek at a new song I have felt God prompting me to share for the past couple of years. This project scares me and excites me all at the same time.

The problem: I knew absolutely NOTHING about producing a song professionally even though I have been writing music since I was a teenager.

My New Song: Don't Give Up

I was so inspired by Nina's story of sharing her very personal music this past week. After the podcast recording was over, she and I sat and chatted about I, like her, felt God nudging me to share my music as well.

I was very candid and had some open conversations with God--like, what the heck? One more thing to learn? Wasn't podcasting and writing a book enough?

But, with a LOT of help from some amazing people, I have navigated this scary new arena with success and am please to share my new song, Don't Give Up.
