Can I tell you something I keep noticing? 👀 Every time someone tells me they want to build an online business or start making money remotely, it goes like this: They get excited. They tell me the dream. And then almost immediately… "But I don't know where to start." "But I don't have enough time." "But I don't think I'm good enough yet." "But what if it doesn't work." 😅 And I get it. I really do. I said ALL of these things too. But here's what I've realized. Your "buts" are not excuses. They're actually a roadmap. 🗺️ Your brain is literally telling you exactly what's in the way. And anything that's in the way? Can be figured out, learned, or worked through. One step at a time. 𝗦𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝗸 👇 Write it out like this: "I want to ___ but ___" Maybe it's "I want to start creating content but I don't know what to talk about." Or "I want to land my first client but I have no idea how to find them." Drop yours in the comments. 👇 Let's turn your buts into your next steps. 🚀

Honestly, strategy will only take you so far. If your mindset isn’t strong, it’s sooo easy to give up, play small, or talk yourself out of opportunities. 💭 That’s why mindset is everything in business. The way you think literally decides whether you move forward or stay stuck. So here’s a little shift for you today 👇 “The belief I choose to strengthen this week is __________ because __________.” What belief is currently holding you back? Fill it in, and actually own it this week. Those small mindset shifts? They add up to BIG results. 💪

I have the tools and resources to truly get this organized and running. It's the imposter syndrome that I had dealt with for a long time. It's also the fear of doing anything out of my comfort zone. I have to get over it and I have to just start. No preparing and no waiting any longer. Learning along the way and just showing up.

This post is going to sound a little cliché and on the nose, but it's the truth, so I wanted to share it because it might just help you if you're in a similar position as I was. 2 years ago I nearly took my own life. I had been walking down the wrong path for a long time and hadn't even realised it until I wound up in a deep pit that I didn't know how to get out of. I was so unhappy in the life that I had built. I was working a physical job in London 12 hours a day (it was my own business but it didn't feel like it). I had just ended an 8 year relationship because I blamed my partner for where I was in life, only to realise that my partner had been the only one keeping me afloat, and now that she was gone, I started to sink rapidly. I also managed to gamble away (day trading) 95% of my net worth, after watching it skyrocket to more than I'd ever had in my life. I was left lonely, lost, broke and so full of shame and regret at the mess I'd made of my life, that the feelings of depression I thought I'd finally outrun, came back with a vengeance to try and finish the job. The one thing that saved me, and that helped completely turn my life around to the point I'm in right now, 2 years later living full time as a digital nomad and working online helping people in a way that excites and motivates me, and with the partner of my dreams (that's a story for another post), was gratitude. (I know, so cliché. I hear your groans😅). Gratitude, self acceptance and love, which all come from escaping the ego. That part of us that tries to keep us safe but inevitably keeps us small. When I started to practice gratitude for the things I had in my life (it was hard at first. I didn't think I had much to be grateful for), then the funniest thing started happening. More good things started to show up in my life. It's easy to be grateful when you're a digital nomad. There are amazing things happening every day, kind people welcoming you into their homes and communities, incredible landscapes to discover, delicious food to try, and breath taking views to witness.

I've been good at many things and failed at many others. I'm almost flipping a coin to see if it's heads or tails next.
