“If there was one framework that worked for everybody, everybody would be successful.”
“Why is it that two people can do the exact same thing and get different results?”
This was the crux of a recent energetics masterclass I listened to by business coach Shoshanna Raven.
You can have a recipe and follow it to the T, but if you don’t have that sense of understanding about what you are cooking, and when it’s best to switch the oven off, the result may not be what you expected it to be.
It may be better. It may be worse!
If you really don’t want to be cooking, that will be reflected in the taste of your food.
In other words, there is no one way for ‘how to do’ something. You just do it. And you see.
You embrace who you are and what your task is, ensure it’s in alignment with you, and you just do it.
So whatever you are doing in your life - at work, in your business, with your kids - just do it as you see best, with your whole heart. And the way will present itself to you.
You try, you fail. You learn. You try again.
And then one day, it all works. The only way forward is through. There are no shortcuts.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You figure it out on the way. You figure it out by taking action. Nothing can be learned by osmosis.
Your teacher, coach or mentor can only take you that far. This is your journey.
And, what if you went through life knowing that you cannot mess it up?
You just get on with it and know that every day is a new day, and the best day of your life.
You will get knocked down, but you dust off and get up again.
You are going to be okay. Trust that everything is happening for you.
Feel what you are going through, but don’t dwell on all the stories around how you feel.
All this has really hit home with me.
As I work on building a business that I love, that also gives time freedom and financial abundance, I have invested in some trainings to do some mindset work.
Because the truth is, entrepreneurship is 90% mindset. It’s your alignment with your mission and your why, and how that makes you feel.
I must have done every digital product creation and affiliate marketing course on the market.
I have spent thousands of dollars on courses, coaching and being part of communities.
I am at that stage where I know what the course is going to tell me to do next, before I even get to that bit!
What these courses don’t teach you enough of though, is mindset.
It’s so much about your mindset. It’s your mindset around what is possible and how its possible for you. Your mindset around money. You mindset around abundance.
Because your mindset reflects your energy. It reflects how you feel and how you project what you feel.
Is your energy magnetic? Or is it repelling?
It is real, raw and welcoming? Or is it pretence and misaligned with who you are?
Do you have an abundant mindset, or a scarcity mindset?
So much to ruminate on. So much inner work is required to succeed as an entrepreneur.
I’ve just begun my journey and I am stripping down all the layers so I can build them up again. I already feel like a different person.
Do you work on your mindset? What do you do? I’d love to hear.
In other news:
No TV experiment: My kids have had NO TV for an entire week and it’s been a game changer for their behaviour. They much more calm and composed. Hardly any fighting, and lots of drawing, puzzles and playing outside. We plan to continue it! TV only on weekends. If it’s something you have been debating to try, I highly recommend it.
My first online ChatGPT workshop: I ran my first paid ChatGPT workshop online. 20 people signed up and 11 showed up live, yay! I really enjoy doing live workshops. I will be recording it soon to be available for anyone interested.
Upcoming free training - March 22: Affiliate marketing is how I made my first dollar online. I am running a free workshop this Friday (March 22 at 10am Dubai time) on how you can do it too. I really feel affiliate marketing is the best way to start selling something online, because you don’t have to build your own product, you are just sharing what you love or what you are already using. If this interests you, sign up here! Replay will be shared too.
Spring break activity sheets for kids: I made these activity sheets for my kids. 30 pages of puzzles, colouring, mazes, matching, etc. You can get them for free here! I think they are ideal for 3 to 7 year olds. Also includes an Easter egg hunt kit, you can use to plan your Easter egg hunt.
I did a professional photo shoot! I need it for my personal brand. It’s all getting real! Excited to share the photos :)
That’s all for today. Have a great week.

This is a timely reminder for me and I am sure needed as a regular reminder for most. The idea that we have to get 'it' right first time and everytime is overrated and perhaps even impossible. I have written about this today. Thanks for sharing.
This article was a good reminder as sometimes I just get stuck with perfectionism because I’m trying out the best way to go about doing the task
Just do it is the way to go 🏃♂️🤝
