I Tried, Searched, Succeeded, Failed, & Tried again - An Entrepreneurial Journey
Knowing what I know now, every step our life is another opportunity to fine tune our self and skills - I know because I have done it!
Success is never one constant journey upwards, there are many pitfalls which become our biggest learning curves in life.
Two first business successes I ran from home until I was ‘shoulder-tapped’ to teach personal development and have never looked back.
Work in Progress: The Success Attitude Movie - An interactive, sing-a-Long movie with a phone app Plus 5 books on track to accompany the movie. The Success Attitude Memoir, The Art of Positive Living (quotes/tips & more), Dealing with Difficult People, Successful Single Parenting, Life Power. For more details please contact me.
Failure & Life Lessons to Improve!
Every opportunity to learn moves us forward. From an unhappy marriage - I learnt I was a peace maker and had low self-esteem due to high school bullying. That knowledge propelled me to learn. I had freedom and positive thinking. Transactional Analysis, Personalities, Communication, Confidence, my thirst for knowledge began and years later is still not abated.
Due to the Global Financial Crisis, losing my business, income, relationships, rental property - I learnt I was not 'being the real me'. I re-aligned my life. . The best ideas are in graveyards because people do not have the courage to 'bring them to life'.
An intuitive idea, confidence, synchronicities, and feeling like a failure for the rest of my life - drove me forward onto a journey into the unknown. Using the law of attraction and every bit of knowledge I could glean I powered on to create the world's first interactive movie...entertainment for fun, feel good and motivation.
Still on track for a producer, other aspects are now being created and books and programs created to align to this massive global project.
Learning before Teaching!
Dr Wayne Dwyer wrote a book called 'I Can See Clearly Now"....He could...and now so can I.
Guided by those around us, our choices are stilted until we claim our unique space in the world. Choice by choice we mould ourselves into who we want to be. Looking back, like Dr Wayne, I understand my journey. I had to learn 'who I was'.
The bullies, those difficult people I've encountered always a challenge until I learned to create new boundaries with my self-belief, awareness and words. AND - so now I teach others.
Understanding my unique journey, a receiver of inspirational messages, claiming my spot as a visionary, becoming my best self, embracing courage and confidence as I gained the wisdom to create my 'world-first' product.
My interactive movie and the 'add-on' products, charity, virtual concert is still to come and make a difference in the world, but I teach empowerment to others so they too can must embrace their uniqueness to find the success they desire.
I think outside the square box, teaching how to tap into Universal ideas with our right brained thinking then using our left brain to design the strategies and systems to support our ideas.
No-one can do it for anyone...I provide the stepping stones for others...
Inspired by Experts, Masters & Change-makers!
I did not start the GFC but I was massively affected by it, turning my world upside down. Losing my rental property trying to prop up my business.
Eventually, slowly, I embraced I was the master of my own destiny and life journey. Shakespeare wrote: To thine own self be true… I embraced that concept!
Another famous quote rocked my world. Do not follow where the path may lead Go Instead where this is No Path and leave a trail - Ralph Waldo Emerson
I was inspired with a brand new cutting edge idea...I would be the first in the world if I could create it. Yes, Yes, Yes!! I don't know how but I will learn.
Albert Einstein said: Only fools expect different results from the same input…which meant – If I wanted a different result I had to upgrade my thoughts.
I adopted the wisdom from experts, deciding to have faith in myself and trust The Universe. I was determined to bring my interactive project to the screen.
...Life has been an amazing learning journey with more dreams still to fulfill.
...I keep learning, questioning and searching, and repeating this system, each time catapulting myself to another level of life mastery.
THUS as I learn - I teach!
I learnt and am still learning ...
Shoulder-Tapping is a phrase I use, when others see your potential and urge you to 'step-up' in your life. I refer to my friend as 'an angel in a white cardigan' - who changed my life. Learning parenting, leadership, communication, confidence and much more opened my mind to self-awareness and development as the key to change my life as my journey of being a student then a teacher began.
Years of workshops, books and courses and positive thinking, helped me focus to get results I wanted.
Life mission/purpose, soul journey was tapping into my intuition, or gut reactions a phrase used more by men.
From the Course of Miracles by Marianne Williamson words made famous by Nelson Mandela 'Our Greatest Fear' poem and the one line Your playing small does not serve the world. changed my life outlook again.
Embracing my biggest inspirational messages, changed my way of life. Absolutely scary and exciting at the same time, I would always be a failure if I did not 'give it a go'.
Using the New Zealand, No 8 wire philosophy while living on the 'smell of an oily rag' I committed myself to bringing the movie concept to the world. Not knowing how, but embracing all my life lessons, the Law of Attraction, inner guidance, my business acumen and skills, I have zig-zagged forward.
As a trail blazer, when one idea is fulfilled, I receive the next one...and so this world-first project for women has been created...
Meanwhile I continue to teach - what I've learnt juggling life continuously creating a better version of myself daily.
I was a leader, successful, and then...I became more!
At ten years old, I was the head prefect at my local school. The teachers saw my leadership potential. Five years later at high school, I was asked again twice, this time because of high school bullying and fear of the threats, I kept safe, and said 'no' to myself. Eighteen years later I realised the miss-take I made so I changed!!
Leadership came naturally to me, and at Playcenter (childcare) Swap (a business group), NSANZ (National Speakers Association of NZ), International Council of Self-Esteem, I became the leader.
In my third business. I was using my knowledge educating businesses about positive workplaces’, at conferences, workshops, coaching and writing… until the Global Financial Crisis when life changed again.
The huge stress caused my collapse while gardening losing 15 minutes of my life. A big wake-up call about life which change my perspective again!
Freedom allows me focus. Independence allows my lessons. Vision allowed my creativity, providing time to get my interactive movie project ready for the world.
This movie project has expanded now including a concert. It is a mammoth task! Moving forward I am creating a new business model for myself, enabling me to enjoy juggling business and personal life.
As a visionary, trail blazer and leader, as other 'wise-ones' provided my inspiration, I accept that my journey with my inspirational messages has provided me insights to the needs of women. Moving forward I see my role as a creator to write, teach, ensuring I stand in my unique space 'making a difference'
fully utilizing my gifts to help the world emerge into a new space in humanity.
