When I first started my digital business I was super excited and jumped on into the training so that I could set up my first sales funnel as soon as possible. I felt like I was a kid in a candy shop. The excitement was so palpable that I didn't sleep very well - stirred with the dreams of possibility that I was hoping that was going to hit me within the first month. I remember a wise business owner saying to me "I just have to be patient and follow the steps that others had prepared for community". Life is an amazing teacher - if we stop and notice. I remember saying "Oh no - don't ask me to pray for patience because God will send me so many life situations for me to learn patience " - haha - too late it was out of my mouth and into existence. This has been my experience for my business. I thought I had found a gold mine as I watched people from within the community climb the ranks and life chose to give me the Patient journey as I have slowly made my way to being a coach in the community acheiving some results but at a much slower rate. Let me express to you, the life lessons that I have learnt have been SOOOOO rich and now almost 7 years on from beginning my business, I understand that - it is the journey of growth which is experienced from my business system is where the true GOLD lies. Having a good intention behind doing what you do is an important element for your business, and understanding why you started and developing your why is an important factor for your consistency and momentum. So my advice to people looking into my business program now is. Keep it simple. Take the time to do the small steps that have been set out before you. and indeed "Be patient".

I am listening to Justin Prince "Be the One" and am inspired - One thing that Justin suggest is to Update your identity. We have a choice to change our identity as much as we would like to do so. These are the steps that he suggest to do when "updating your identity" Here is the Exercise that he suggests: What are 3 words that are aspirational discriptions of who you want to be. What you would like people to say of you. Write them down. 1. lean into those words. Be those words. Dont become but be. How would they respond, speak what would they do, what wouldnt they do. Treat these 3 words as your new identity. Be that person. Be the one that updates your identity.

There can be moments where I seem to waiting for the next mentee to come for my business, waiting whilst I look after a grand child, Waiting whilst I take care of my foster daughter and her cares, waiting whilst my husband is working/ sleeping from a night shift. Waiting to feel better ...waiting...waiting... Sometimes it is great to let your brain "stop" in the waiting. other times it is great to just do what I can with the time that I have. Today was one of those "learn something that has been intriguing me... so here it is - still not finished , somewhat flu bitten, my attempt to learn this vocal riff... now where is my big and shiny diamond xx What are you creating at the moment? Are you happy to let us into your world and share a little?

I realized something… People take incredible trips, capture amazing moments…And then those memories just sit in their camera roll, get posted once… and disappear. That didn’t feel right. Travel is meant to be shared. Experienced again. Felt by others. So I decided to create a space where people could actually bring those moments to life again — together. That’s how my new group on facebook called "Share the travel Experience" started and now I have just openned my new community on skool to share the love of travel. Here is my personal invitation to our free group for all things travel: "Share the travel experience". Do you usually go back and revisit your travel memories, or forget about them?

If we can create an atmosphere that encourages you to step into your creative self - then I have achieved my goal here for our creative Hearts. I met Judy last year in the New Zealand Gather and Grow event where I had the honour and pleasure of sharing my own experiences as a digital business owner, mentor and coach. We hit it off and I invited Judy to connect with my own coaching group (a collective of business owners from our international business community) . It had been a great pleasure to see Judy thrive as she implemented the material that was learnt during the event. One thing really stood out for me was her comment about self belief. It opens doors for us to step through. We caught up in Fiji and was able to catch this moment on film
