But always holding me back at first was that I thought I had to use some kind of a sophisticated imaging software like Photo Shop that I can make my poster look professional with all the good at the cool graphic effects. But what I discovered was so much simpler than that. And what matters to me really is more of the message and not so much on the graphic effects of the message. My name is Cherry Raise I coach. I teach, and it also create teachable thought, being yet some right. How would you like to have your own manifesto poster printed with what really matters to you? And here's the easy part.

Definition & Purpose: in this video, we're gonna briefly touch on the definition of manifesto, and I'm also going to share with you one reason that might inspire you to write to manifesto. According to Miriam Webster Dictionary, a manifesto is a written statement that describes the policies, goals and opinions of a person or group. Although this is not the kind of manifesto that we're trying to create in this class. Just so we're on the same page for the purpose of this class. The kind of manifesto that we're creating is a personal money faster, which is a statement of her own personal life, valleys, believes and principles. Here's a picture of my family taking a Disneyland in December of 2016. I want to share with you a story about my son Carl. He's the one with glasses. He wanted to celebrate his 21st birthday at Disneyland, and I thought that was fine. We all had a great time. Finally, home, my son kept watching this video of himself that his big sister took of them while he was in this one ride. He was creamy, laughing, just having a blast. He get watching his video over and over and over and remember what he said, He said, I wish I had a friend like me. I thought that was a profound statement, as I've never met anyone say that about themselves. Here's someone who knows himself so well. I shared with you that story because it reminded me of what I learned about the highly successful people. There are two common things that they clearly know about. They're clear about knowing who they are, their strengths and their weaknesses and knowing what they want. As the saying goes, The first person you need to lead is yourself and this part of the class. I want you to share with us your reason why you want to create your own personal money faster.
