>$200k and 10 years later, the foundations to business building remain the same


Hello Reader,

After

  • >$200k - business debt from a cafe we closed down
  • >$20k - invested in business programs and coaches
  • > 10 years of side hustling

I've learned some expensive yet valuable lessons about building a business.

The principles of business building are simple and timeless:

  • Help your people
  • With one problem
  • They will pay money for

Ideally, this involves doing work you:

  • Love
  • Are good at
  • Can make money from

While it sounds simple, it's actually really hard to have all these converge at the right time and right place in your life.

There are times you'll have one but not the other.

Which means you have to make trade-offs.

The key is to know what matters enough to keep pushing through for, and what you're willing to walk away from.

Because while you can have anything you want, you may not get everything you want at the time you want it.

I see a lot of people who want the successful business, but aren't willing to do what it takes - including the old me.

Being clear about what truly matters to you, and what you're willing to do for it makes taking action and decision making easy.

You know what you're willing to trade off, and what to walk away from, no matter how fantastic an opportunity it seems to you.

This is true wisdom, freedom and power.

Today, I'm clear about what I want, what I'm willing and not willing to do for it.

And that brings me peace of mind, a lot more gratitude and way more joy.

Business building is a long term endeavour.

You must make it enjoyable to stay the course and persist through the tough times.

I didn't arrive to this place overnight.

It took >$200k and 10 years of life and business experience to get here.

Hello Reader, When I started a business, all I wanted was to make extra money have time flexibility do work I love People online make it sound so easy. They only show you all the upsides of being an entrepreneur. But few share the realities of what it takes to be a successful one. The truth is, it isn't so easy. If it were, everyone would be sitting on a beach and running their million $$$ business. What makes it hard aren't the tactics and strategies - you can learn this for free on YouTube....

Hello Reader, You need to hear this: You're not too old to start your dream business. I've been dreaming of being my own boss since my 20s. Between then and turning 50 this year, I've also Raised 2 kids who are now teenagers Checked off travel bucket list destinations Built a successful corporate career as a HR leader, trainer and coach Now, for my second act, I'm ramping up my dreams of being my own boss.

Hello Reader, In 2024, I wiped the slate clean and recommitted to putting focused attention on building my business. I've had side hustles on and off since my 20s, selling services, online courses, coaching, freelancing and even a brick-and-mortar café. They never got the traction I'd hoped for. In 2023, I 'gave up'. After years of trying and failing, I was disillusioned and tired. So I scaled back a lot of my business activities in 2023. By the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, the itch...
