How to turn challenges into opportunities
|
Hello Reader, This past week was a busy one at work. I was facilitating a 2-day in-person leadership workshop. It meant I didn't have as much time as I would have liked for my side business building activities. Everyone has days like these - often, these are the normal days - you get through 1 out of 5 items on your to-do list. My previous self would've felt irritated and annoyed because she couldn't do the things she wanted to do for her business. She would have felt and said 'there's never enough time!'. But the current version of me that's connected to my higher self now knows better. I know when I have days like that, it means I'm learning to:
Instead of getting frustrated and resist when things aren't going my way, I now use them as cues and opportunities to act and feel in the completely opposite way. Because if you want results you've never gotten before, you must do things in a way you've never done before. How about we behave as the version of ourselves we want to be, for example:

I've been working on my upcoming free course, 6 Secrets to Taking Consistent Action In Your Business Without Burning Out [Working Title]. CLICK HERE to receive it when it's available. |

That’s how our friendship started. It was such a lovely catch-up. But as we shared our updates, I noticed a feeling creeping in. One of my friends now owns properties here and...
Hello Reader, For years, bosses told me I was too quiet. They meant well. They'd explain that if I didn't speak up more, people would think I was aloof, unapproachable, or simply lacking confidence. None of those were good options. I knew it, but knowing it didn't make it any easier to open my mouth in a meeting. As a child, I was praised for keeping myself busy in my own corner and not bothering the adults, and in primary school I spent five years in the B class, never quite making it into...
Growing up, I never thought about money. My dad earned it. My mum ran the home. When my brother and I went overseas to study, my dad paid for all of it. Money was just there when we needed it. So without knowing it, I grew up with a story. No matter what happens, someone will take care of me. I never questioned it. I didn’t even know it was there. Until life put it to the test. What I believed in no longer made sense My husband and I quit our jobs to start a café. It didn’t work out. We...
