Hello Reader, When I decided to make more money so I could have the freedom to live the lifestyle of my dreams, I realized I wasn't willing to do what it took to have this. Like:
I wanted to get rich quickly and easily. Money had always come easily to me when I was growing up. But as an adult, my financial situation was dramatically different. You may have heard my story about getting into massive debt, losing my job, and having no income while having a family to support. I was arrogant too. Sometimes our accomplishments in school and at work make it even harder for us to accept we suck at mastering our money. I mean, how hard can it be to understand that 1 + 1 = 2? What I didn't know was that money isn't just 1 + 1 = 2. Often, it can't even be boiled down into a simple equation. Money is loaded with our stories, past events, beliefs, drama, fears, uncertainties, and insecurities. It wasn't until I understood my relationship with money and the beliefs and stories driving my actions around money that I could take concrete actions to change that relationship and improve my financial situation. If you want to learn how to master your money, your first step is to master your relationship with money. If this is something you want to learn about yourself, then come to my workshop, 'Financial Confidence for Women' happening this Thursday, 4 April, at 8 PM GMT+8. See you soon. Sharon |

In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...
Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...
Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock. My first instinct was to call the locksmith. But something I read recently stopped me. If you're on Justin Welsh's Saturday Solopreneur newsletter, you might have seen his recent story about replacing a special lightbulb in his water filtration system. At first glance, it's just a home maintenance story. But the real lesson...
