24.01.2022 Perfectionist, this is for you, no one else is judging you except you.
24.01.2022 Looking for some podcast suggestions - What are you listening to?
23.01.2022 ARE YOU REALLY SURE THIS IS FOR YOU MY BOSS ASKED ME I remember when I was in law and I had a boss ask me, are you really sure law is for you? Her name was Briony. She was a lovely woman, who was very precise and proper and someone who I admired as a leader. She had a beautiful balance of kind and strong. Yes of course I responded. Now looking back I laugh because I have realised that she must have seen something in me that I hadnt seen at the age of 22. ... That said the shy, people-pleasing little go-getter in me at that age would have never imagined being co-director of a company and traveling the world at the age of 30 lol. I truly believe that the universe is always giving us directions of where it wants us to land and how much we are willing to listen will determine how quickly or slowly we get there. If we listen it can happen quite quickly. For me, 22-year-old Donna wasnt ready to listen. It wasnt until about 2 or 3 years later I realised that maybe she was right, law wasnt fulfilling me and it wasnt until 5 years after that, that I left my job and went into full-time biz. It took 7 years from the moment that I was asked that question for it to land and for me to take action on it. Now I am ok with that because I honestly believe that any earlier and I might not have been ready for this level of responsibility. It is funny however that our of all things she asked me over the two years we worked together that THIS was the one question I remember her asking me. We only ever remember the things that have an impact on us. Which makes me think on some level I always knew she was right. The point to this story really, is that the next steps are always there, we just need to listen. Are you ready to listen? If so feel free to PM me or join our exclusive group - Powerhouse Business Women. :)
23.01.2022 WHY DO PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO REPLACE THEIR INCOME IN BUSINESS? The obvious answer is money blocks but there's actually so much more than that. I was speaking with a client the other day and I got her to do an exercise. The exercise was essentially getting her to see how much she had made in sales and how much was actually showing up in the bank. ... When she did this exercise, she realized that there wasn't as much showing up in the bank as she thought. Yet she had made a lot of sales and this is a common mistake for business owners. Now I did this intentionally to get this client to stretch her money beliefs because she needed to see that she had to stretch her beliefs around charging to allow herself to make enough income to replace her day job income. When she saw this, she realised that in her mind she it mean that she had made a couple of sales so she was set but when she saw how the money showing up in the bank she realised that sales doesnt necessarily equal money in the bank particularly when there are clients on payment plans. This is where we need to start broadening our minds to SALES vs BANK. When we start a business we need to think first of all, what would we need to replace our income? Then we need to figure out what that looks like in terms of sales and cash in the bank and build our business based on this. There are two places people get stuck. They get caught on being a 6 figure entrepreneur rather than working on just covering their income initially then stretching that and secondly, confusing sales with bank. If you can work through this and then do the work to attract the clients to get to that goal, you will be laughing! Aka come join me in Bali or Boracay or Hawaii (wherever I am) for a cocktail haha. If you are ready to start banking and changing your mindset around wealth and business, feel free to PM me.

21.01.2022 HIRE PEOPLE TO HELP YOU MANAGE & GROW YOUR WEALTH Recently Caleb and I engaged with an online accountant (who specializes in assisting businesses who are running online throughout the world) he is showing us how we can best manage our money, grow our wealth whilst we travel and how to do it legally whilst setting up our new company structure. Now some of you may be thinking well that is all good and well for you guys but I cant afford to do this. That is EXACTLY why you ...NEED to do this. Whilst initially yes it is an expense after talking to this guy we have learned how we can not only save a bucket load of money but how we can now grow our wealth in ways that we didn't even know existed. What I have learned over the last couple of weeks through meeting and talking has been absolutely crazy and my view on money has changed as well because on some level I now see money as a game. A game of how to resourcefully grow it. So I am curious, how many of you have someone on your team to help you with finances? Money can actually be fun when you work through 4 things. Your relationship / beliefs to it Having a strategy, learning the game of money Knowing your current and ideal income Your energetic min/max to receiving money If you would like to learn more about how you can start attracting more wealth into your life, feel free to PM me or join our exclusive group - Powerhouse Business Women. :)

13.01.2022 FOCUS ON YOUR RACE COMPARISON KILLS CREATIVITY There's was a Youtube video that I watched on Oprahs supersoul channel which shared a story which was something along the lines of, there's a swimmer who's swimming in the Olympics. As he is swimming, he can either choose to focus on himself and continue to swim and push forward and just focus all of his energy on himself until he gets to the end. OR he can think to himself I wonder where everybody else is?... He can use the energy that he could have been using to win the race to look over his shoulder and see where his other teammates are at. I think you can all tell where I am going with this by now. The energy and the time that he's used to looking over to see where they are has just taken away the milliseconds that it could have won that race. The same thing applies to business. If we are always looking over our shoulders at what everybody else is doing. Then we take away from being able to focus on our own race and being able to focus our energy on what is going to make us more successful. So stop looking over your shoulder other people and focus on your race.

12.01.2022 The Power of Surrender The other day I watched the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. In the movie, there was this quote, and it said They say they built the train tracks over the Alps before there was a train that could make the trip. They didn't care, they built it anyway. They knew one day that the train would come. As I watched this, it got me thinking, how often do we wait for the train to come, we wait to know what is going to happen before acting rather than trusting in wha...t could happen. Some of the biggest shifts in my life have been in the moments where I've chosen to surrender to my life. Leaving my job was one of the BIGGEST by far. When I left my job, I didn't know what was going to happen. I didn't know if I would be able to make enough money. I didn't know if I would build a full book of clients. I didn't know if I would have to crawl back to the corporate world with my tail in between my legs. I literally just had to trust that if the worst case scenario were to present itself that I could handle it. I'd have to be ok knowing I would have to go back to my old job, and I'd have to start working again. And when I felt into that, I thought well, cant be worse off than I am now, worse case is I got back to where I started, at least I gave it a go. The contrast to this is sometimes we will surrender and we will sometimes give it a go and it doesnt work how we hoped. What we can tend to forget in those in those moments is that sometimes it perceivedly doesn't work so that it can. I know there have been plenty of moments where it felt like something wasnt working but then later realised that this was because it was allowing room for something else (something even better) to land in its place. So if you are feeling stuck and frustrated I am wondering, what have you not allowed yourself to surrender to recently? If this resonated with you, feel free to PM me or join our exclusive group - Powerhouse Business Women. We would love to have you there. <3

11.01.2022 SHINING IN YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR RELATIONSHIP One of the biggest things that Caleb and I have had to overcome in business and our relationship is being ok with both shining within the relationship. Of course, we always wanted the best for one another but something that only became apparent to us last year that one of us was succeeding whilst the other struggled or we would swap hats. It wasnt both of us succeeding at the same time.... We realised that on some level we would subconsciously stop ourselves from being successful so that the other person could be rather than realising these few key things: Both of us succeeding was actually better for building OUR future together The healthiest versions of ourselves dont hold ourselves down on account of the other That other persons success is his/my success because we are a team Our money energetic min and maximums need to be worked through together so that we dont cap our household income Our relationship magnifies parts of ourselves which in fact makes us better in business once we face those parts of ourselves This is just SOME of the things we have learned that already brought our household income to multiple six figures in the last financial year and we project this will double again the coming financial year. Why do I share this? Not be wanky mostly because so often here I people talk about and worry about not being able to have success AND love. Like the two don't if in the world together and I can tell you from experience that simply isn't true. Your relationship will only magnify you and you to grow in business if you have the right tools and people on your side.

08.01.2022 LIFE IS A SERIES OF GAMES - ALWAYS GETTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL Sometimes I think of life like a Super Mario game. It's like, you have to go through the different levels. For example, you might go four different levels and then you get to find the big dragon. Once you have fought the big dragon you get to uplevel to the next Island.... Sometimes as we do that there are points where we have to repeat that level over and over again. As we repeat that level over and over again, we start to get frustrated, because we think, what is it that I'm missing here? Why can't I get passed this level? Life is much the same and this is the thing when we're playing a game like that we have to be persistent with it, we have to figure out okay, I did that last time, that didn't work so what if I try something new this time? When we start thinking like that, that's when we get to go to the next level. For some, they will play the game and won't be able to pass that level several times so they'll give up. The key thing to know here is how we do one area of our life is how we do all areas so if you're the type of person who plays a game like this gets frustrated and gives up it's likely that's how you play life as well. If we think of life/business/relationships/health like a game, then we can start to think that potentially, whatever we're going through right now, is just the level that we need to go through so that we can get to the next level of our lives. Keys to going through the levels: Acknowledgment - What are you continuously doing that isn't working? What could you try instead? What might be the outcome of this? Our unconscious minds always respond to questions so be aware of the quality of questions you are asking yourselves. Ready for the next level?

07.01.2022 IS YOUR ENERGY IN FEAR OR POTENTIAL? So this post is going to be a little bit different because it's more like an exercise. What I want you to do is I want you to list down all of the fears that you think about consistently right now. Maybe it's fears that I'm not good enough or that I won't be able to do this, that I don't have enough money or that there are too many people in the market who are already doing this thing so I can't compete. Whatever it is for you - Write i...t down. The next part to this is, I want you to stop and think about how much time you're spending investing on all of these thoughts? How much time do you spend procrastinating thinking that you need to know more before you can act out of fear of not being enough? Sit there and acknowledge how much time you spend on all of these things. It is only in the presence of acknowledgment that we can make changes. Once you are clear on this, write down what you think you might feel if you were to push through the fear of this and focus your attention on achieving this goal as opposed to giving into fears? Consider both. What would each of these things give you? If you stay stuck and sitting in fear it's likely that thinking about it and not moving allows you to stay stuck and feel frustrated and angry at yourself for not giving it a go or doing anything about it. Whereas if you put energy into pushing through the feeling, then the likelihood is that you're going to feel proud of yourself afterward for pushing through and doing something that you hadn't done before. Since we as humans, are built to act on things that make us feel good, we need to remember that the feeling that comes after we do something that was challenging for us is so much more rewarding then staying stuck because if we can do this it is more likely we will face the things that scare us most. If you would like to talk about your realization in this exercise, feel free to PM me or join our exclusive group - Powerhouse Business Women. :)

07.01.2022 THE PIVOT IN MY BUSINESS WAS THE HARDEST THING I HAD EVER DONE It first started when I began to notice myself not being inspired to show up. Not being inspired to show up in posts, LIVES or for enquiries that were coming through. When I first started my business, I'd started my business from a space of absolute inspired action. All I wanted to do was learn things about relationships (the niche I was in at the time). I would endlessly listen to podcasts and listen to audios...Continue reading
07.01.2022 SO MANY SOCIAL MEDIA FORUMS FOR BIZ WHICH ONE DO I HANG OUT ON? With so many social media forums it is so easy to feel overwhelmed not knowing which one we should be hanging out on for business. I mean we have the choice of Podcasts, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat or LinkedIn, etc.... Let's be honest we couldnt possibly be active on all of these and be functioning human. So what should we do? There are two things: 1. Know your clients well enough to know where they are hanging out. Your clients will be a past version of you not so long ago (particularly if you are a coach) so where were you hanging out at online? 2. Just focus your attention on 2 forums, to begin with. Any more than that and you would be wanting a team of people to help you distribute the content If you can build solid communities in these spaces when you are ready to open up to other spaces like podcasts you will have a lot more people wanting to be part of the ride. So essentially we need to bring our focus in and then expand. Want to hang-out with amazing people? Join us at Powerhouse Business Women FB group.
06.01.2022 Get your free coaching scripts! Can you tell Im not a fan? Lol. Cannot stand these adds. Seen it like 3 times today. ... If were busy reading a script we can miss vital pieces of information the client is giving us which could be the thing we need to get them the change they want. The thing that separates a mediocre coach from a freaking excellent coach who brings in the is their ability to listen on a deeper level and hear/see the code of human behaviour that is playing out as to why theyre doing what theyre doing and why theyre stuck. Scripts are for your certainty which means we arent being present. They quite frankly they dont serve us and they definitely dont serve our client. If youd like to like to learn more about how you can scrap the script and start coaching with certainty and reading the code of human behaviour to get epic results, feel free to PM me.
05.01.2022 STOP WASTING YOUR TIME ON STUFF THAT DOESNT MATTER YET The mistake that I see a lot of early entrepreneurs make is they start asking questions or they start taking actions that are way too far ahead of where they are at in their journey. Examples:... - Checking out what VAs do - Wanting programs that are for million dollar coaches (working with someone too many step ahead of you can actually hinder your results because you are not ready yet) - Worrying about what happens when you have too many clients just get your first one before you worry about that! The first thing that they should be focusing on is getting their first client and then getting their second client and the third client and having a few clients up their sleeve before they focus on things that are not relevant to them. They're creating all of these problems for things that are not even important at this time and then that is where theyre energy goes and they wonder why they are so tired. Quite honestly it is just a distraction. A distraction so we can hide, when really the most important task is marketing. 80% of what a new entrepreneur does should be marketing and 20% for whatever else. If no one knows who you are, what you do and are not willing to hand over their cash then there is no business. I know I am dealing out the tough pills to swallow here for some of you but its equally what needs to be said. Start businesses should be marketing the crap out of themselves, building a client base, learning what comes up for that client on a regular basis questions patterns etc then at that point start worrying about systems or time placement etc. If you would like to learn more about how you can direct your focus, feel free to PM me or join my group Powerhouse Business Women.
05.01.2022 Is it as simple as choosing life to be easy for it to actually be easy?
04.01.2022 OUR WORLD IS MOVING ONLINE SO WHY DO WE REJECT IT? I remember when I was younger, Friday nights would consist of going down to blockbuster, choosing some popcorn and a chocolate, and choosing a movie. And if we got to get one movie from the new release section, then that was really exciting. But now all of the movies are all on Netflix You dont even need to leave the house. It is the same with taxis, nobody catches a taxi anymore, we all catch an Uber because it's more c...onvenient. Why? Because we can see where they are, we can see how much it's going to cost us. Whereas with taxis, we would have to estimate, it's probably going to cost us roughly about 20 bucks or 50 bucks that we never really knew until the taxi took us and if it was any more than that, then it'd be as shit, we'd be scrambling around trying to find some extra cash. There are no tapes and CDs anymore. There's nothing physical. It's all iTunes, Spotify. And supermarkets, we now have the ability, the ability to self-service. When I was leaving my job. I was in conveyancing and conveyancing was moving from being something you would physically be present to, to then moving into the online space Got enough examples? We NEED to be ok with being online. This is our world now. So why do we reject this? We reject this because we're concerned about what our family and friends think, you know, what if we fail in front of them? or we put ourselves out there and it doesn't work? And what if people don't gravitate towards our message? First of all, nobody's going to gravitate towards your message at first, because they're all learning to trust you. There is an element of time where you'll be putting things out there and people are going to only slowly over time start getting on board with that. The second thing is, we need to be asking ourself, do these people who we are worried about actually have the results that we want? And if they don't have the result that we want, if they don't have the lifestyle that we want, then why are we worried about what they think? They're not living the life that we ideally would like to be living. And the last reason why people reject social media is because it doesn't feel good. But then again, neither does driving for the first time, starting a new job, going on a scary ride the theme park and yet we are always glad we did those things afterwards arent we? If you would like to learn more about moving online, feel free to PM me!

02.01.2022 DARK VS LIGHT WORKERS - WHAT ARE YOU THOUGHTS? The other night I went out for dinner with friends, all of these friends were coaches six-figure or higher earners and as you could imagine the conversation got quite saucy! One of the many topics that came up through dinner was light workers versus dark workers. ... Now, how I define Light Workers versus Dark Workers is light workers have a mission of bringing light to the world, lifting others up and helping others to see their full potential. Dark workers mission is to bring that person down. Make them have to face parts of themselves that they need to grow or work on. Their intention is to help them face things like self-esteem, boundaries, needs, emotions. Their intention is to shed light on the parts of us that we have suppressed for love. The debate that came up was Are dark workers actually light workers with a different mask? The room was split. Some believed they were and some believed they werent. My very personal belief is that dark workers are light workers with a different mission. The first reason why I believe this is because nobody enters this world with the intention of hurting others. We learn through experiences what love and evil are. We learn through our own personal experiences how to obtain love and fulfill our needs Secondly, anybody who was brought any darkness into my life (and believe me I have seen a few things), has, in fact, forced me to push through parts of me I had suppressed. They have taught me to find my voice, know my boundaries, express my needs and be okay with being alone which was one of the biggest fears of all that I had. This is why I believe that they are equally light workers, without these people I wouldnt have had the opportunity to work through these parts of me. The reason I thought that I'd share this conversation with the group is because I would love your thoughts on this topic. Share away!
02.01.2022 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN ITS TIME TO INCREASE PRICES? As we get into business, the first thing that we need to learn is that we can even make money because we've never done something for ourselves where we've learned that people will actually give us money for it. The second lesson is how to stretch that money. Typically, when we first start a business, we will start out with a lower entry price. Then as we tend to grow and people can get to know us, we start to raise those pri...Continue reading

02.01.2022 WHICH TYPE OF BOSS ARE YOU? There are two types of bosses. I will openly admit that this post has come from me recognising what type of boss I am and having to work through my own growth points on this. The two types of bosses are the over and under functioning bosses. The thing to know about this is how we do one area of our life is how we do all areas, so its likely as you read this you might start to recognise you are doing this not only in your business or work but at h...ome as well. The over functioner (hello fellow over functioners, this is me too) will want things done a particular way, in a particular time-frame and have high expectations around expecting others to know that this is what they want. The under functioner is more likely to trust that the person knows what to do and leave them to their devices. This is good because it gives that person autonomy to step up and lead however it can also be a downfall because they are less likely to check if that thing (ie a email or something has been sent) until the last minute and that could land them, the leader in hot water. So I invite you to recognise which leadership style you fall into and start to challenge that. For each style there are pros and cons to both. A great leader has a combination of the two. They let go and trust that they have spent enough time training their employee/contractor to know that they know what they are doing and get the job done whilst also being aware of what is happening and getting updates on this. Yes it may seem obvious but I have been around long enough to know both from an employee perspective and a leader perspective that many people in fact are not aware of their style or how it might be impacting their team/business. Are you aware what kind of boss are you? Feel free to PM me if this resonated to you or join our exclusive group - Powerhouse Business Women.
