I want to challenge myself (and maybe some of you 😉). For the next 30 days, the plan is: ✅ Post at least once a week ✅ Comment on 3 people’s posts daily ✅ Connect with at least 1 new person weekly Who’s in for this 30-day challenge wit h me?

I have been reading your posts about all the wonderful things happening to you/for you. It reminded me of this gorgeous video... this woman's voice and accent transports me. Isn't it wonderful? Isn't it just wonderful? Something wonderful is happening to me, right now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Right now. Isn't it wonderful?

(Don’t want to read? Scroll to the bottom to watch my video on this) I remember back in March 2024… I started selling stuff on eBay I started making a lot of money online. I mean it wasn’t a crazy amount but for a 16 year old still at school it was pretty impressive. I think it was like £1000 in a month. All from simply selling old stuff around my home on the internet. It had been such a big goal of mine for so long I remember lol to make like £20 a day then just spend the rest of my day on games or whatever. I achieved that goal, as I made £1000 a month, which meant I was making much more than just £600 a month as I would have made with £20 a day. Yet I was still just like “Meh.” 🫤 I still didn’t feel good I was just like “Oh let’s make more.” Then I remember spending the money on some fancy cologne “Jean Paul Gautier.” Still emptiness. I didn’t realise what I was missing now, it took me a long time but finally I realised it. It was purpose, contribution, helping people, choosing the problems that I cared about. And loving my work. Also due to hedonic adaptation I got used to the money I was making… Most of all I had none of the purpose benefits, and thus I was unhappy. So what does this look like for you, the entrepreneur reading this? Here are your action steps: 1. Make your work fun, eliminate tasks you hate and add fun elements to your work like adding a social element, adding music, whatever you gotta do 2. See the greater vision in your work, make a note of your business's impact on the world of things go right 3. See money as a score of how well you are following your vision 4. Ingrain this quote “Of the journey was miserable to get there the destination will not fulfil you” 5. Understand money is great but it really is not all that, especially of you sacrifice your health and happiness to get it
