I began looking into earning an income online initially due to money problems. We had finished building our house and unforeseen circumstances meant the final costs blew out by a further $100k plus. Fast forward 4 months and I am an entirely different person.
Skills and lessons I have learnt since beginning my online journey
People are put in your path for a reason
Manifesting and embracing an abundant life has changed my life and brought forth many new opportunities.
Developing a website and building an online business is something I am very capable of.
Being brave and having faith in yourself is of utmost importance.
The more I believe I am capable and deserving of an abundant life, the more abundant my life is becoming.
Hard work and consistency will bring results, even if things take time. Breathe. It will happen.
Have faith in the Universe!
Many people think I'm crazy!
I swear, almost everyone who knows me, knows there is something different about me, but most can't put their finger on it. All they know is, I seem happier and my energy is contagious. My zest for life is back with a vengeance and I love the way I feel every day. This feeling is such a welcome one after a few years of what I would describe as a 'black hole.' Many life events were unavoidable and not much could be done about those at the time, however, a change in mindset and some education surrounding manifestation, probably would have made a world of difference.
People ask me how I have done it. How exactly have I turned my life around? This is what I tell them:
I began with asking an expert in the field of manifestation for advice.
I purchased her eBook and started making notes and thinking deeply about it.
I read the book "You are a badass at making money" and completed the exercises at the end of each chapter.
I started to believe my life could be different and I was going to make it my mission to change it.
I started to repeat some affirmations to myself daily. These included: My life is abundant. I am happy, healthy and wealthy. Money flows to me easily. I am successful at everything I do. Just to name a few.
I write a gratitude journal every morning whilst eating my breakfast. This gets me in a happy, positive frame of mind for the day.
After writing the things I am grateful for, I then write my daily affirmation. It could be: I am successful at everything I do, I am a money magnet, opportunities come looking for me. I write them and say them with intent and feeling.
So after I tell them these things, many people look at me and then either give me an amused look or say, "good for you, Jo." The odd one or two people say, "Wow! That's so amazing. I need you to teach me how to do that!" I don't mind if it's not everyone's cup of tea. I don't need it to be. I'm running my own race and happy to stay in my own lane. But I have to admit, I do love it when someone actually says, "teach me please!" A little fire lights inside me and that sparkle returns to my eyes. "I'm glad you asked..." ;-)
Does living an abundant life full of opportunities have you intrigued?
It is very easy to start! Some very simple changes to your daily routine can make all the difference. Keen to make a change? Let's do it together!
Follow these simple steps for 5 days and see the results!
Write down 3 things you are grateful for each day- preferably the same time so a routine is created and you won't forget.
Think about what you want and say it out loud to yourself as an affirmation beginning with "I am..." or "I have..." Eg. I am successful in my career. Also write this down.
Stop and smell the roses. Look around you. Take everything in. Life is passing us by and we are too busy to notice.
Have faith in yourself. Say one kind thing to yourself each day. "I look great today!" or "I am really good at my job."
If all of these at once seem daunting, simply make one change per day, or even one change per week! Change is change. It only takes baby steps. You just have to start.
Have you heard of the law of attraction?? The more positive energy you put out into the Universe, the more positive energy and opportunities come straight back to you. Don't ask me why. I'm not some kind of rocket scientist! Hahaha. And even if it is the "placebo effect," I'm okay with it. My mind thinks it works and that's all that matters, right?
What opportunities has embracing and manifesting an abundant life brought to me??
I am genuinely happy!
I was brave enough to start my own business, and, despite not earning a great deal of money yet, I have been brave enough to announce my resignation from my teaching job at the end of this year. I just know it's the right decision.
I have written free guides on educational topics such as helping your child with reading, anxiety and your child, and a social story about starting Kindergarten. Oh and also have a paid eBook about money saving hacks- which people have actually bought! Not to mention my encouraging reading success eBook with instructional videos attached, which is in the making as we speak! Download free guides or purchase eBook here.
I was asked by a parent from school to consider teaching a casual dance class after school- and 160 people have expressed interest!! I love teaching dance!!
I was emailed by a government organisation to ask if I would consider teaching dance to kids at the local neighbourhood centre! Stoked about this...
Families have approached me about tutoring their children.
A teacher friend mentioned a childhood anxiety program I could become accredited to facilitate, in schools or privately.
Money has started to come to us again through various sources. We are getting back on our feet.
I probably could go on... but you get the idea.
If you are interested in changing your mindset and outlook on life- reach out to me! Send me an email... follow me on Insta or Tiktok, comment on this blog....
Let's do this together.
I'm already doing it.
The only difference here is YOU!
'Til next time.
