The Judds had just finished a whirlwind reunion tour after a decade of not appearing on stage together. During that time Wynonna pursued a successful career as a solo artist while Naomi recovered from illness. Incidentally, Naomi's youngest daughter, Ashley, is a talented actress. Naomi talked about early days of being a single Mom and raising her 2 daughters and having a dream to "make it" in music business.

She worked as a nurse and actually secured a record deal with a record company executive while a member of his family was a patient.

She said that her daughters didn't always appreciate her disciplinarian ways. In fact, girls' favorite saying was, "If it ain't one thing, it's your mother!" But she was disciplining them for what would lie ahead for their futures. Naomi taught her girls 5 important life lessons:

(1) Change is true nature of world. -She insisted that security is superstition. The only true security comes from within.

I used to say that to myself very often, till I realized that I can do Anything I want, if I want it enough!

Lately, I don't really set goals, I just think them, and work toward accomplishing them, a day at a time. I see myself having already accomplished task I set in my mind, and within a few weeks of concentrated thought, or less, I have achieved that goal.

I'm not talking about small tasks, just Big Ones that I would have thought would take me Many months, or even years to accomplish.

I often break up Big jobs into smaller steps, and set priority of each step in order of their importance toward accomplishing Big Job, and complete each task in order of importance.

Lately, my big task is one of changing my whole life from working for other people to being completely Self- Employed. Yes, I do have my own business on internet selling books and information products, but I still have My Day Job!

I have worked for Other People for past 40 out of my 49 years in one capacity, or another. Most of that time I have worked as a CNC Machinist machining metal parts for many different things, and work has been interesting, but I am growing weary of J.O.B. and Time Clock! I need more money, and time to enjoy it. It's time for a Big Change!

I recently made a change in my attitude, and my Agenda. I vowed to be completely Self-Employed by age of 50. Will I make it? My answer is YES!
