The Story Behind the 7 Golden Rules
Hi, I’m Charlotte Anderson — and I believe small, consistent choices shape extraordinary lives.
A few years ago, I was overwhelmed. Busy, but not productive. Active, but not fulfilled. I was chasing success, but I didn’t have a clear roadmap — just a lot of noise, motivation quotes, and half-finished goals.
That’s when I started looking for patterns.
I studied the habits of top performers, read hundreds of books on mindset, productivity, and decision-making, and reflected deeply on my own wins and failures. Over time, something powerful emerged: a set of 7 core principles that kept showing up — again and again — in the lives of those who lived with purpose and achieved lasting results.
These aren’t complicated secrets. They’re simple, timeless rules — refined through experience, not just theory.
And that’s how 7GoldenRules.com was born.
This blog is my way of sharing those principles with you — clearly, honestly, and without fluff. Each rule is a building block for a more focused, intentional, and meaningful life. Whether you’re looking to grow your career, improve your habits, or just think more clearly, these rules are designed to help you move forward — one step at a time.
Why These Rules Work
Because they’re practical.
Because they’re tested.
And because they focus on what actually matters — not just what feels urgent.
I write here every week to explore what it means to live well in a distracted world. No hype. No shortcuts. Just real insights, personal stories, and actionable ideas you can use right away.
A Bit About Me
Outside of writing, I’m passionate about minimalist living and entrepreneurship. I’ve spent over 5 years working in finance, and I’ve learned that true success isn’t about hustle — it’s about clarity, consistency, and courage.
I live in San Antonio (Texas), where I enjoy exploring new ideas through books.
