What Are Universal Signs?

The more conscious, awakened and open you are to receiving this guidance the more easily you will notice it and correct course if needed. 
 
Create space and time to spend time in silence and solitude to strengthen and connect with your creator every day. 
 
Ask for personal guidance to understand signs that you may be confused and unsure about.
 
Here is a list of some universal signs that you receive and their meaning

How To Interpret Universal Signs

We are blessed and lucky as human beings because we have been given free will so that we can create and experience the type of life that we desire and fulfill our purpose. 
 
In reality, we are never left completely alone because our creator’s light is within us and universal signs are also always available to us. 
 
What exactly are universal signs?
 
The Universe (our creator) is always giving us signs, nudges, and loving guidance while we navigate through life on earth school. 
 
We are given signs to remind us whether we are living a life that is in alignment with our soul’s calling, mission and purpose, or not. 
 
Now that you know what universal signs are and their purpose you may be wondering how exactly we interpret these signs when we experience them. 
 
Let’s discuss that next.

Emotions

If you feel happy, good, and you are experiencing emotions such as love, joy, abundance, peace, and compassion then you are most probably living life on purpose and following your soul’s calling and mission.
 
If you are feeling sad and you are experiencing emotions such as fear, anger, jealousy, and resentment then you are most likely are not living a life on purpose and not following your soul’s calling and mission. 
 
You are most probably living an ego-centred life.

Illness

When you experience illness or pain, pay attention to its location in your body. A type of illness and the exact location of the illness often indicate an issue with a specific area of your life. 

Investigate what your body needs and ask for further guidance from your creator.

Words

Pay attention to the message when certain words or phrases jump out at you or if you keep hearing them on a reoccurring basis. 

Experiences

Are you attracting the same kind of people and/or going through the same adversarial experiences over and over again because you have not learnt the universal lessons?  
 
Take some time to figure out what lessons you have to learn from these unpleasant experiences so that you do not have to repeatedly experience them again.

Numbers

A pattern of repeating numbers may hold a special meaning for you. Look up the angelic guidance associated with the repeating number patterns that you constantly see such as 11:11, etc.

Dreams

Your dreams are universal messages sent through your subconscious mind. These messages are accessible because your conscious mind is quiet when you are asleep. 
 
Figure out the meaning of the dreams to decode these message(s).

Intuition

We talk to our creator via prayers and intuition which is how your creator talks to you. Learn to trust your gut feeling and listen to your intuition for guidance. 

Synchronicity

Coincidences and synchronicities are never an accident. Have you ever been thinking of someone and they reach out or you bump into them in person? 
 
This is the universe’s way of confirming that your thoughts align with your future manifestation and reality. This is a signal from the universe that you are on the right path.

Lyrics

Do you remember a time when you had lyrics of a song stuck in your head? The universe is trying to convey an important message to you. Are you listening?

Objects

If you lose or damage an object the universe is trying to tell you that you are getting too attached to the material things or your past. You have to let it go so you can make room for new things to enter your life.

Meeting

Have you ever met an ideal person to help you with your current challenges? 
 
This type of occurrence is the universe confirming what is or isn’t the right path for you to be on depending on the answers received from the person you just met.

Smells

When you come across certain scents that remind you of someone, it is the universe reminding you of that person.

Animals

Spirit animals are always relaying a message from the universe. It is up to you to stop and notice them and learn from them.
 
You may have noticed the same types of animals over and over again. 
 
These animals protect and support us on our purpose, paths, and journey. They give us strength, hope, love and comfort if we are open to receiving it. 
 
Here are some common spirit animals and their meaning.

Butterfly

When you see a butterfly, it means that you are about to go through a transformation and a profound change in your life. 
 
A butterfly emerges from a caterpillar in the same way you are about to give up your old self and emerge as your new higher, lighter and freer self.

Spider

Spiders remind us to create our desired best life. Spiders create intricate webs and that is why they symbolize creativity.   

Crow

Crows are masters at shape shifting both physically and energetically. Crows teach you how to mould your aura, and your power into the shape that supports manifestation. 
 
One of the most important messages of a crow as an animal spirit is to not fear change. Whenever you want to see a higher perspective, call on a crow for aid.

Owl

An owl represents wisdom, deep connection, and intuitive knowledge. It symbolizes transition or a new journey. 
 
Owls can see beyond deceit. You will be able to see beyond the illusions created by your mind. Invoke owls when you are ready to face shadows, find wisdom in silence, and need to see the truth.

Hummingbird

A Hummingbird symbolizes and reminds you to pursue your dreams more aggressively and that the joy is around the corner. Seize the manifestation as quickly as possible. The only obstacle is yourself.
 
They also remind us to try to connect with joy, enjoy life, and not take things so seriously. They also remind us to be playful and that connection with loved ones or higher power is what matters. 
 
They can help lift you from negativity and show you that everything happens for a reason. Instead of trying to control outcomes, adapt to surroundings.

Hawk

Hawk represents courage, self-awareness, truth, and a heightened perspective. It also indicates that you tend to use your vision, inner wisdom, and intuition. 
 
It encourages us to see situations from a different and higher perspective.

Grasshopper

A grasshopper symbolizes abundance, good luck, prosperity, and whatever is blocking your way to success can be removed. It also means freedom, balance, creativity, and peace.
 
You are being asked to take a leap of faith if you see a grasshopper. They are innovative and move forward in life.

Eagle

Eagles represent expansion, strength, a higher perspective, loyalty, victory, power, foresight, vision, and manifestation. 
 
They show up when you have sights on a goal, aspiration or challenge.
 
They signal time to connect with your spiritual path, listen to our hearts, and not rely on our minds. It is time to bridge the spiritual and physical world to bring your spiritual aspirations into reality as a process of evolution. 
 
Spiritually they represent transformation, manifestation, power, and inner strength. It is time to align your actions with your spiritual values. Tap into your inner strength and carve out the reality you were destined for.
 
In conclusion, I feel lucky and blessed that we get continued loving guidance, signs, and nudges while we are on this earth school from our creator (Universe).
 
We are given timely signs as to whether we are living a life that is in alignment with our soul’s calling, mission, and purpose or not.

What Does Financial Abundance Mean? 

Everyone on this earth is capable and deserving of living a financially abundant life. Abundance is our birthright and we can attract it into our lives once we learn how to be in tune with it energetically.

What does financial abundance mean exactly

It is having all the money you can possibly ever want or knowing that it is possible for you to make it and never ever run out. 
 
It is also knowing and believing that you are capable of creating as much money as you desire by adding value in the market and transforming others’ lives without impacting anyone else’s ability to be able to do the same.
 
We live in an abundant and expansive universe. There is more than enough for every one of us. 
 
It is our duty to be financially abundant and make as much money as possible so that we can give without limits. Money is not a limited resource, however, time is.
 
Now that you know what financial abundance means, you may be wondering how exactly you can start creating financial abundance for yourself. Let’s discuss that next.

How to create financial abundance?

It is easy to attract and create financial abundance as you learn to shift your energy and align to its frequency. Follow the steps below and begin your journey of a financially abundant life.

Gratitude

Practice gratitude daily to unlock financial abundance, happiness and well-being in your life. 
 
Think or write in a journal all of the things you appreciate about your current financial situation, yourself, your unique gifts, strengths, relationships and all the other things in life that you have been blessed with to enjoy.

Dream Big

Know that there is no financial dream that is too big for you to fulfill. If you have a dream inside of you then you have the capability, skills and talents to make it your reality.

Adapt Abundance Mindset

Abundance is your birthright. Start believing and knowing that there is more than enough financial resources for everyone
 
Always remember that you create your life from the inside and out. Your outer results reflect your inner identity, beliefs and thoughts which then determine your feelings, behaviour, actions, habits, results and destiny.
 
Whatever you focus upon will expand and flow into your life. If you are struggling with money you are probably constantly thinking negatively about your financial situation. 
 
You are probably worrying, stressing, anxious and frustrated about your money situation and that is why you are attracting that into your reality.
 
Every time you feel something you emit a vibrational frequency to the universe and the law of attraction returns that frequency into your life. Start creating abundance by focusing on thinking and feeling good about money. 
 
Imagine and feel how good and abundant you would feel if you had unlimited amounts of money. The more you practiced feeling this feeling the more you will allow it into your life.

Respect Money

Start changing your relationship with money. 
 
If you are used to saying: “filthy rich”, “rich people are greedy”, “rich people are less spiritual” and “money is the root of all evil” then your subconscious mind will protect you and make sure you are never financially abundant.
 
The above statements are not true. Financially abundant people are not all filthy, greedy, and less spiritual. The obsessive love of money over at any expense and above anything else like adding value is evil.
 
Learn to cheer and celebrate other financially abundant people and their success.

Vision

Create a vision of who you want to be and what you want your financial life to look like in the future. 
 
Figure your current financial status out, set financial goals, create a plan to achieve them and start taking small, achievable steps to get there.
 
Take responsibility for your life and business and do not blame others for your results and outcomes

Grow

Train your mind to see expansion and possibilities for your life and learn to eliminate all excuses. 
 
Make learning and growing a daily practice in your life. Love of learning and resilience is essential for great accomplishments. 
 
Learn about different ways to earn income so you can have multiple streams of income. Also learn different ways to invest, grow and multiply your income.
 
Experience something new and uncomfortable to maintain an attitude of openness, enthusiasm, and willingness to override existing preconceptions.

Commit To Living Your Dreams

Try implementing different opportunities and know that there is no such thing as failure, it is only feedback for better possibilities.

Do Work That You Love

Increase your self-confidence and self-belief by sharing your unique gifts and talents and provide value by serving those who would benefit the most through your work or business. 
 
Focus on getting paid by the results you create and value you provide to others. The more value you add the more money you will attract and make.

Spend Time In The Right Environment

Seek and surround yourself with committed, self-aware, positive and financially abundance-minded people who can celebrate you, cheer you on and keep you accountable with your big goals.
 
Also, try spending some time out in nature and be reminded of its universal abundance.

Follow Inspired Action

Practice meditation and spend some time in silence to be able to become aware of guidance, opportunities and possibilities for you to implement and take inspired action on.

You will receive inspired nudges, creative ideas for opportunities to increase your income. You will be led to the right people, resources, opportunities to help you achieve your financial goals.

Learn to Manage Money

Learn to manage your income and financial abundance that you have currently been trusted with for the universe to bless you with more. 
 
Create a spending plan. Allocate money for your living expenses, Long term and short term savings, your education and  growth, fun and giving.
 
Focus on and tracking your net worth every 90 days.

Invest Your Money Wisely

Invest your money to learn and improve your physical, mental, and emotional health, mindset.
 
Invest your money to learn and improve your business skills and start your purpose-driven business.
 
Invest your money to learn skills that help you invest money in assets that make your money grow and multiply.
 
Invest your money to have memorable experiences with your family and friends.
 
Invest and donate money to your chosen charities, causes and give gifts abundantly to others

Universal Timing

Have patience and trust the universal timing because it always has a bigger and better financially abundant plan for you. Bigger than you can ever imagine.

Money Mantra

Repeat daily financial abundance mantras to stay in the receiving financial abundance energy instead of slipping into scarcity and lack. For example, Money flows to me easily and effortlessly
 
In conclusion, as I said earlier everyone on this earth is capable and deserving of living a financially abundant life. Abundance is our birthright and we can attract it into our lives once we learn how to be in tune with it energetically.
 
Financial abundance which is having or knowing that you can make all the money you desire, and never running out is possible for all of us to achieve. 
 
It is also knowing and believing that you are capable of creating as much money as you desire by adding value in the market and transforming others’ lives without impacting anyone else’s ability to be able to do the same.

Is It Selfish To Set Boundaries? 

I strongly believe that everybody should have boundaries for their own sanity and peace.  
 
So, is it selfish to set boundaries?
 
No, it is not selfish at all to have boundaries even though sometimes society makes you feel like it is. Setting personal boundaries is necessary, important, and good. 
 
It is very healthy if you want to live your authentic life and fulfill your purpose while you are here on this earth. 
 
Having boundaries does not mean that you are controlling. It is a measure of your self-care, self-worth, and good mental health. 
 
People with high self-esteem and good emotional health can set healthy boundaries for themselves and the people they are in a relationship with. 
 
It is indicative of self-love, respect, and leads to a more peaceful life.
 
Now that you know it is not selfish to have boundaries, you may be wondering… What does having boundaries mean? Let’s discuss that next.

What Do Boundaries Mean?

Boundaries are limits and confines that you set on the kinds of behaviour you will accept from yourself, and other people that you are in a relationship with. 
 
They are derived from who you are and what your top core values are. 
 
People who have healthy boundaries understand that it is important to make their expectations clear so that people in their life know what behaviour can be expected from them and what behaviour they will accept from others.
 
People who have rigid boundaries do not have a lot of close relationships, are detached, and do not let others get too close to them.
 
People who have loose boundaries find it difficult to say no to others and are people pleasers because they are afraid of rejection.

Reasons Why Healthy Boundaries Are Important 

Boundaries are very important and they set you free to live your best authentic life. 

Clarity

Boundaries create clarity and teach people in your life how to treat you, so you can be your best self and not get drained emotionally and physically. 
 
Establishes what you consider as disrespect and will not tolerate.

Emotional Health

Your emotional health is linked to your boundaries. It helps establish how you expect people to treat you which is the same as how you treat them. 

Confidence

When you can articulate your boundaries, confidence, self-esteem, your self-worth increases. You deserve to be respected, heard, seen, accepted and understood.

Self-Awareness

Deciding and setting boundaries allow self-awareness. You get to know who you are exactly, what your purpose is, and what boundaries you would need to fulfill that purpose.
 
How you want to be treated, and what you would consider disrespectful and would not tolerate.

Healthy Relationships

Boundaries create healthy relationships. You become an average of five people you hang out with. 
 
It is okay to let people who do not respect your boundaries go, to make room for the right, like-minded people to enter into your life.

Setting Boundaries

It is important to be able to set boundaries and know when to say no when an action is not aligned to your values, vision, and purpose of life.
 
Here are some ways to establish what boundaries are important to you

Self Reflection

Take some time for self-reflection and determine what boundaries are important to you based on your values and purpose, and how they will benefit your self-care, esteem and emotional well-being.
 
One way to figure out what your boundaries are is to examine what upsets or offends you.

Set Them Up Early

It is important to establish them early so that everyone knows the rules of engagement and frustrations can be limited.

Communicate Them Clearly

It is important to communicate these boundaries clearly and to make sure that they are understood.

Have Self-Respect

Remember you are worthy and deserving to have boundaries in your life. People who are meant to stay in your life will accept and abide by them. 

Types Of Boundaries

Let’s discuss the different types of boundaries that you can have next.

Material

Be clear about what material possessions you feel comfortable sharing with others, and how you expect them to be treated.

Time/Energy

Be clear about limits on your time as it is valuable and the most important resource. It can never come back once it has passed. 
 
How much time you are willing to allocate for favours, service, and free labour. 
 
How do you want to deal with repeated lateness, double bookings, no shows and people cancelling plans at the last minute?

Physical

Be clear about who you are comfortable with allowing into your personal and physical space. 
 
Your different personal areas such as your car, home, and different rooms within it. What behaviour is acceptable to you while they are in your spaces. 
 
Do you like to show and be shown public displays of affection or not? Your wishes and sexual boundaries should always be respected. 
 
You decide who can touch you. How, where, and when can be decided as well. Your wishes should always be respected.
 
Always remember that you are worthy and entitled to take up as much physical space as you need. You should never feel like you need to take as little room as possible.

Mental

Be clear about your purpose, soul’s calling, and top core values and make sure all your decisions in life, beliefs, thoughts are aligned with it. 
 
Your ideas, thoughts, beliefs and opinions should be respected.

Emotional

Know that you are 100% responsible for creating your best life and the emotions that you feel. They come from your thoughts and beliefs. 
 
Choose to feel better, despite how others are acting and feeling.
 
Do not give your power away to others and have your emotional well-being depend on how others are behaving. Learn to stop blaming, justifying, and emotionally dumping. 
 
You should not let your occupation, marital status, family or your otherworldly acquired roles define you.

In conclusion, make sure to take some time to reflect and figure out what types of boundaries are necessary for you to set in order to live peacefully and have the energy to fulfill your purpose. 
 
It is not selfish to have boundaries. Having strong boundaries will improve your self-worth, self-esteem, and confidence.
 
Now that you know how to set boundaries, figure out which ones you need in order to live a value and purpose-aligned life. 
 
Find out what it means to be living your best life and how to design it next.

Why Am I So Unhappy With My Job?

If you know me you know that I whole heartedly preach that it is never okay to stay in a job that you do not love. We are only on this earth for a short time and we spend a large part of our day at work. 
 
Life is a precious gift to be lived with joy, and so we should not be spending most of our day being miserable and wishing for the week (5 days) to go by quickly, so we can enjoy the weekend (2 days). 
 
You may be wondering why you feel unhappy with your job. Let’s discuss the reason next.
 
I believe that life happens for us, and so when you feel unhappy in a job, it is the universe (creator) nudging you and providing you with gentle guidance that you have outgrown the job that you are currently doing. 
 
It is time to express gratitude for this job that served you in the past and let it go to someone else who would it benefit from it. 
 
It is time to look at alternative ways to serve others that are aligned to your values, natural gifts, talents, passions, purpose and soul’s calling.
 
Next, let’s discuss some reasons why you are unhappy in your job and what to do about it.

Reasons Why You Are Stuck In An Unhappy Job
(And What To Do)

We live in a time where there’s so much possibility for everybody and nobody should be stuck in an unfulfilling job that they hate. Life is short and we are here to live a happy, joyful, loving, peaceful life. 
 
If that is not what you are experiencing, then you can change it because you are a soul with a body that has infinite possibilities. 
 
Let’s discuss some reasons that would cause you to be stuck in an unfulfilling or unhappy job 

Lack Of Belief In Yourself 

You feel hopeless and helpless about your life and job. You believe you do not have a choice and this is the only job you are capable of getting and doing. 
 
Remember you’re a soul with a body that has infinite possibilities and you have access to both divine intelligence and strength.  
 
Know without a doubt that you can do anything and have anything that you desire and commit to by connecting to your creator.
 
You create your life by your beliefs which lead to your thoughts, behaviour action, habits, and destiny. 
 
Start believing in yourself and change your beliefs and thoughts that do not serve you, and get you the desired outcome in life and your job. 

Lack Of Role Models

You work with and are around people who are all in a rat race. They have a fixed mindset and have a very negative outlook on their life and job. 
 
Start seeking role models who are doing what you want to do with both your life and your job. 
 
This will help boost your confidence and your self-belief. 
 
You will start seeing the possibility of you living your best life and doing work that gives you joy.
 
Invest in courses and coaching offered by these mentors, so that you can expedite your success and benefit from their experience. 

Fear Keeping You Stuck

You do not like the responsibilities of your job, however, you fear leaving because you associate security with bi-weekly paychecks.
 
Jobs are not secure. A company can be acquired, and no matter how good you are at a job, you can be laid off or you may get a boss that does not like you, and again, you can be fired or laid off.
 
Consider starting your own purpose-driven business, even on the side, so that you are in control of your results and income.
 
Learn to take-action with courage despite fear. Clarity will come through taking-action. 
 
Fear is always going to present whenever we venture into the unknown. Be grateful for it. Fear is there to warn us and help us survive in case of real danger. 

Lack Of Inspiration

You may be feeling unchallenged, bored, or not motivated in your job, because it is not aligned with your soul’s purpose.  
 
Turn inward and discover your purpose and do work that is aligned to it. You will feel the inspiration that comes from inside you will not need any external motivation. 
 
The inspiration that comes from within you will propel you to do anything that you want to that’s in alignment with your soul and your purpose 

Depleted Energy

Your energy is depleted because you are always in negative energy at work. The majority of the people around you, including your manager, are very negative. 
 
They feel helpless and hopeless. They gossip about their co-workers and blame others for their misery. 
 
You can make a conscious choice to not let others’ energy deplete you. Have a morning routine that fills you mind, body, spirit and energizes you. 
 
Visualize and create a bubble of protection around you. Affirm no negativity can enter and affect you. Tell yourself that you have the creator’s light around you, only positive energy will enter and nothing negative will be allowed to enter.

Don’t Know Yourself

Your core values may not be aligned with your job and company. 
 
Take some time and identify your top 3-5 values and post them somewhere where you can see them daily as a reminder. Your values will make any decision-making easier for you. 
 
Your values will act as a filter when you make any decision including what job you do or the business that you start. If it is aligned to your values, then it is an easy yes.

Don’t Know Your Desired Lifestyle

Your job is conflicting with your desired lifestyle. 
 
Figure out what kind of lifestyle you want, what your perfect day looks like, what time you want to get up, do you want to work in an office on a laptop at the beach? by the pool? Do you want to travel for work or not?
 
Have a clear vision of your day and every area of your life. Your desired lifestyle can then determine what job you can consider getting or the type of business you can focus on starting, and not the other way around. 
 
Your job or work should not dictate what kind of lifestyle you live. Most people have been taught to do this backwards, and that is why there are a high percentage of people who do not love their job or the work they do. 

Should you quit a job that makes you unhappy? 

Should you quit a job that makes you unhappy? 
 
The answer to this question would depend on who is asking and whether they have any financial responsibilities and obligations or not.
 
If you do not have any financial responsibilities and obligations, then yes, you should quit and either look for another job that makes you happy or start your own business. 
 
what to do when you don’t like your job but can’t quit because you need money.
 
If you need the money because you have financial responsibilities and obligations like a mortgage or rent etc, then you can look for another job that makes you happy before you quit your current job.

Alternatively, you can start a business on the side and quit the job once you are making enough money to fulfill your financial obligations or have saved up enough money to sustain you for a year or two.
 
What to do if you are unhappy with a job that pays well?
 
Examine why you are unhappy in a job that pays well. 
 
Is it aligned to your values? desired lifestyle? Purpose? Passion? Soul’s calling? 
 
If not, create a plan to either get another job that pays well and is aligned with the above, or start a business that is aligned with the above.
 
You can quit the job once you are making enough money to fulfill your financial obligations, or have saved up enough money to sustain you for a year or two.
 
In conclusion, it is worth examining why you are feeling unhappy in a job. 
 
The job that makes you the unhappy is subjective, because it is the one that is not aligned with your top core values, desired lifestyle, purpose, and prevents you from being your most authentic self.
 
It is the universe nudging you and providing you with gentle guidance that you have outgrown your current job, and it is time to look for alternating ways to serve others.

What Is A Mentally Strong Person

Today we are going to talk about one of the most important subjects. What is a mentally strong person, why it is important to be mentally strong, and how to become mentally strong if you are not.
 
I believe everybody is worthy and deserving of living their very best life while they are temporarily on this earth. A mentally strong person can experience life in a much better way than someone who is not.
 
So, how do you know if you are mentally strong? Let’s discuss that next. 
 
A mentally strong person does not weaken by the ongoing challenges they experience and face in life. 
 
They know and accept that they are here on this earth to learn and grow from these challenges, so that they can live their purpose and serve others in a bigger and better way. 
 
They trust that the universe is always conspiring for them and life is happening for their benefit. They also have habits that help them stay mentally strong.

Is It Possible To Become Mentally Stronger?

Yes, you can most definitely become mentally stronger if you commit to making that your priority and start practising the below-mentioned habits of the mentally strong people and stop doing everything that they do not do. 
 
Your life, as a divine creation, has infinite possibilities, and so there is nothing that is not possible for you.

How Do You Become Mentally Stronger?

Start implementing the following practices, that mentally stronger people do, into your life immediately so that you can become mentally strong. 

Exercise

A daily exercise routine is important to maintain a positive mental attitude. Hormones are released in your bloodstream that help maintain calmness and fewer chances of reactivity to life circumstances.

Nutrition

Hydration and eating healthy food that fuels the body helps with the vitality and well-being of the body. 
 
This prevents going through extreme shifts in energy and mood due to a high amount of sugar intake. Your gut health is known to have a direct effect on your overall mood and energy level.

Sleep

Aim to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep daily to stay mentally strong. Lack of sleep has many adverse health consequences to the body, it reduces good decision making, and reduces the overall functionality of the body. 

Positive Thoughts

Be aware of your automatic habitual thoughts. Make sure they honour your divinity and are positive.

Positive Self-talk

Be aware of your inner talk. Make sure it honours who you are, serves you, and is positive. Don’t say things to yourself that you would not say to a friend or loved ones.

Master Your Emotions

Don’t give your power to others by constantly reacting to what they say to you and do. Take a few minutes and choose to respond instead and maintain your composure.

Gratitude

Raise your energy daily by practising gratitude. Gratitude attracts abundance into your life.

Generosity

Give both your time and money generously.
 
Serve someone daily by performing a random act of kindness, sending them a message, compliments, blessings, etc.
 
Give money consistently to causes and people as opportunities present themselves. When you give others what you want for yourself you will get everything you want.

Be Open-Minded

Always be open-minded and learn about other’s different perspectives and learn to handle criticism well. See it as an opportunity to grow.

Learn From Challenges

Always learn to look for blessings and lessons from every challenge that you experience in life. Remember there is no such thing as failure only feedback. 

Have Boundaries

Learn to set healthy boundaries for yourself. Learn to say no more often instead of saying yes, all the time, don’t spread yourself too thin and sacrifice your self-care.

Practice Self-Care Daily

Make it a daily practice to take some time for self-care.
 
Take some time daily to sit in silence and connect with your creator, meditate and ask for guidance and spend some time out in nature. 
 
Feed your mind by reading or listening to something positive every day. Repeat empowering affirmations to yourself daily.

Hobby

Take some time daily to do something that you love and that gives you joy. 

Life Vision

Discover your purpose and write down your life’s vision in every area of your life. Set goals to accomplish this vision.
 
Visualize and feel what life would look and feel like once you accomplish all your goals and are living your life vision.

Fun

Prioritize and budget some money for fun. It is important to feel excited and look forward to some fun for yourself every month. 
 
It does not have to be something big or expensive. It can be buying and lighting a candle with your favourite scent, having a diffuser with your favourite essential oil, taking a bubble bath in the candlelight etc.

Be Resourceful

Know that you can figure out anything as long as you believe in yourself and be resourceful.

Wins

Remember who you really are and all the wins that you have experienced so far in your life.

Keep Word

Always conduct yourself with integrity and keep your word. It creates trust and healthier relationships.

Punctual

Always arrive on time to honour and be respectful of your own commitment and other’s time.

Defend

Always honour and defend yourself. You are a divine creation and so deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

Next let’s discuss what mentally strong people do not do.

What mentally Strong People Do Not Do

Mentally strong people do not do the following. If you do, start making the changes today and stop doing the following.

Negative Self-Talk And Thoughts

Do not have automatic, habitual negative self-talk and thoughts. Your thoughts and beliefs create your feelings which then determine the actions you take and habits you form, which then creates your destiny. 
 
Your negative thoughts create a life that you do not want.

Past

Do not live life from past experiences. Be excited and embrace the possibility of creating the life you want, despite their past results and experiences.

Fear

Do not be defeated by fear. Fear is an anticipation of future results that may never happen. 
 
It comes in many forms like self-doubt, procrastination, perfectionism, resistance, insecurity and the most common, fear of failure.
 
Let go of all the worries over things that you can’t control.

Approval

Do not seek other’s approval. You are here to fulfill your purpose and others may not understand your actions and do not get to determine what you do with your life.

Doubt

Do not have doubts about what you are capable of achieving in life despite what others have told you. Your life has infinite possibilities.

Blame

Do not blame others or circumstances in your life for your results. You are responsible for all the results in your life. 
 
Stop blaming others for anything in life that you do not like and know that you can change it all by starting with changing one thought at a time.

Perfection

Do not delay actions and fixate on perfection. Clarity will come from the actions that you take with trust.

Superiority

Do not have the need to feel superior over anyone else. We live in an abundant world and there is more than enough for everybody. Cooperate and help others instead of competing with them.

Emotions

Do not bottle emotions. Express them and know that they are coming up for you to work on them and release them, or else they become blockages in your body, which then manifest into health challenges.

Give up

Don’t quit and give up on your life vision, goals, and plans when they get difficult. Practice persistence until you achieve them. 
 
“Can’t” must not be a part of your vocabulary. Know that nothing is impossible for you to achieve. You are bigger than any challenge.

People Pleasing

Do not try to please people and compromise your own true self, self-care, values, purpose, life vision and goals. Always remember no matter how nice you are you will never be able to please everyone in life.

Unhealthy Relationships And Activities

Stop or reduce spending time with people in your life that do not respect you as a person and are negative and toxic. 
 
Let go of all unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking excessive alcohol. They are not good for you and lead to health challenges.  

Social Media

Don’t spend excessive time on your phone or social media. Spend time doing activities that are good for you and lift you up instead of making you feel bad. Stop comparing yourself to others who are only showing the highlights of their lives.

What Do You Call Someone who is Mentally Strong?-

A mentally strong person is also known as someone who is resilient, strong, self-assured, tenacious and tough.
 
In conclusion, you are worthy and deserving to live your best life, and so commit to becoming mentally strong. Incorporate the habits of mentally strong people, let go of any habits that mentally strong people do not have.
 
So, now that you know how to be mentally strong, it is time to find out how to design and start living your best life next. 

Is It Better To Be A Business Owner Or An Employee?

Is business ownership in your future possible? Maybe you want to know which one is better, being a business owner or an employee. Before getting started, let’s see which one is better.
 
I believe Business ownership is a much better route if you value time freedom, want to create an unlimited fortune, and wealth and make a big financial impact in the world. Business owners leverage systems and teams to make money that is not dependant on them trading their time for money.
 
There is a limit on how much time you can designate to serve others and make an impact. However, there is no limit on how much impact you can make with your money.
 
Employees trade their time, which is limited, for money and therefore limits their potential to earn money and make an impact.
 
So, what are the main differences between a business owner and an employee?

Differences Between A Business Owner And An Employee

Risk

Business owners have faith and courage to take risks to fulfill their dreams and purpose, while employees are afraid to take risks, play it safe, and fulfill other people’s dreams instead of their own.

Income

Business owners leverage systems and teams to build unlimited fortune and wealth based on results while Employees trade time, which is limited and therefore make a fixed amount of money.

Lead

Business owners take charge, lead and find long term solutions to problems to keep the organization moving forward while Employees say it’s not their fault and seek direction and guidance to solve problems as they arise

Knowledge

Business owners constantly learn and grow as they need to be generalists and know a little bit about a lot of things while employees are specialists who are hired for their expertise to do a specific role within the company.

Security

Business owners do not equate working for someone to security like an employee and therefore sacrifice receiving a steady paycheck to build a company while employees equate security with a job, receiving steady bi-weekly paychecks, and other benefits such as health.
 
Jobs are not as secure as perceived to be, because they are not guaranteed for life and employees can be let go for a variety of reasons like company politics or acquisitions and position redundancies.

Rules

Business owners create rules, values, and company culture while employees follow rules and like to be told what tasks they have to perform within a role and what goals they are expected to accomplish.

Decisions

Business owners are responsible to determine the vision, mission, and brand of the company and ensure that all decisions are made in alignment with them, while employees are responsible for decisions about the role that they are hired for.

Change

Business owners embrace change and can pivot their businesses and explore new opportunities when necessary. They choose and create their destiny while employees follow set processes, procedures and practices of the company they work for and have a hard time implementing changes.

Schedule

Business owners have the freedom and flexibility to decide their work schedule and the amount of time taken off every year, while employees work the set hours they are scheduled to work every week and have a limited amount of agreed time off.

Responsibility

Business owners are ultimately responsible for all aspects of their business and to determine how each person’s role contributes to the business and its growth as a whole, while employees prefer to have a defined range of responsibilities.

Support

Business owners are lonely and often seek and invest in mentors and masterminds to discuss ideas, especially at the earlier stages, while employees do not invest in themselves and discuss other people with their co-workers.

Investment

Business owners invest time and money in self-growth, team, tools, equipment, processes, training, systems, and experiences to improve their business and make it more efficient while employees invest time and money in obtaining credentials (degrees, certificates).

Numbers

Business owners love numbers and review their cash flow, profits and loss statements regularly to better forecast their company’s financial health, while employees are only concerned about their paycheck and yearly bonuses.

Employee Versus Business Owner Mindset

Business owners have different mindsets and think very differently in comparison to employees.  

Dream Big

Business owners are change makers and problem solvers. They dream big and have a vivid imagination and future vision of their life and business.
 
They think outside the box and do not put a limit on what they can create and the money they can generate to fulfill their purpose. They do not follow any rules that do not serve them.

Believe

Business owners learn to deal with doubts that arise and believe they can create whatever they can imagine. They create a plan, and take the required actions to fulfill these dreams.
 
They know that if they have a dream, then they have the capability within them to fulfill this dream. They seek opportunities instead of coming up with excuses.

Passion

Business owners love what they do and are crystal clear as to why they have created their business. The reason inspires them to keep moving forward, even when experiencing temporary setbacks and frustrations.

Growth

Business owners value learning and growing every day, so they can serve and improve their customer’s lives better and make a bigger impact. Most Employees stop learning independently once they finish their formal schooling.

Confidence

Business owners are confident and know they are 100% responsible to create the type of business and life they want. They do not point fingers at others if they are not happy about something and work on themselves instead.

Time

Business owners know that time is their most valuable asset. It is limited, and once it is gone, it will never come back. They work smart, so that they free up their time by automation, tools, systems and teams leveraging other’s time.

Long term

Business owners think long-term. They have a vision of how they want their business to look in 10+ years and what kind of legacy they want to leave. They set all their goals with the end destination in mind.

Build wealth

Business owners think of money as seeds to multiply into more money for a bigger impact, while employees see money as the actual fruit that is to be consumed upon receiving.

Failure

Business owners have empowering perspectives of failure and see it as feedback to learn from and use as a stepping stone for success.
 
So, you may be wondering… can you be an employee and a business owner at the same time?
 
Yes, you can be. An employee can start a business while they work full time, as long it does not conflict with their role.
 
They may eventually decide to quit their job once they can replace the job salary with income earned in the business.

Is a business owner employed?

It depends. If a business cannot run without the business owner for a prolonged amount of time, then a business owner would be considered employed.
 
A business owner without a team and systems would be an example of this

Is a self-employed owner considered to be an employee?-

Yes, if the self-employed person is the one doing all the work or some of the work and cannot remove themselves from the business for a long amount of time, then they are considered employees.
 
A Doctor or a Dentist with their practice would be an example of this.
 
In conclusion, choosing to be a Business owner will enable you to live your best life of unlimited possibilities on your terms and make an unlimited wealth and impact on this world.
 
So, employee or business owner? Is it time for you to get past your fears and doubts and switch before it’s too late? The choice is yours!

What Are Good Morning Habits?

I believe to have an exciting and meaningful life, one must have a future vision for their life based on their purpose. 
 
Our vision and goals put us on a chosen path in life however it is our habits that keep us on that path and create our destiny. 
 
So, what exactly are habits and what do we consider to be good morning habits?
 
Habits are actions we perform repeatedly that eventually become automatic and controlled by our subconscious mind. 
 
Our brain always strives to make all our repeated actions efficient by forming neural pathways, so that they consume the least amount of energy as they run automatically. 
 
That is why most people drive to work without actually consciously thinking about it and remembering the actions they took.

Good morning habits are consciously created by you, so that you can start every day intentionally, proactively by design so that you can have a peaceful, joyful and meaningful day that is in alignment with your purpose and soul (true nature).
 
You may be now wondering, what would be some good morning habits to develop. Let’s discuss that next.

8 Bad Morning Habits to Get Rid of

Change the following habits at all costs, because they are not good, and will influence how the rest of your day goes.
 
For example, if you are running around and stressed out in the morning, then the rest of your day will also be hectic as you will be less tolerant and more reactive to the unpleasant circumstances and people that you may encounter throughout the day.

Snooze Button

Stop hitting the snooze button and opting to stay in bed longer.
 
This signals to the universe that you are not excited about the day that’s been gifted to you, by your creator and you prefer to be in bed, rather than be excited about the day so that you can fulfill your purpose and serve others.

Negative Thoughts

Stop complaining about the way you look when you see yourself in the mirror as you brush your teeth. 
 
Stop saying oh my god why do I look like that, oh my god look at the bags under my eyes because again that’s not respecting who you are your creator created you in his image and thinks you are beautiful.

Taking a Hot Shower

Stop taking a hot shower in the morning, because it will relax you and make you sleepy. 
 
It is better to take a shower with lukewarm water or cold water because that will energize you by improving your blood circulation.

Having Coffee

Stop having coffee first thing in the morning instead of water. Your body needs water.

Unhealthy Breakfast

Stop having breakfast with lots of carbohydrates and sugar. They do not fuel your body with the nutrients it needs.

Checking Your Phone

Stop checking your phone first thing in the morning, because it can lead to you following other people’s agenda as you see emails and texts demanding your response.  
 
It can also cause you to be upset and anxious when you see your photo, or a post not getting enough views or likes.

Not Having a Morning Routine

Stop starting your work day right away without easing into it with a morning routine to take care of your mind, body and soul.
 
In conclusion, it is a good idea to intentionally and consciously develop good morning habits like the ones mentioned above so that you can have a peaceful, joyful and meaningful day every day.
 
Get rid of all the bad morning habits that are not good for you as they will influence how the rest of your day goes. 
 
You will be more reactive and less responsive to the unpleasant circumstances and people that you come across.
 
Now that you know how to intentionally design and influence your day by developing the right morning habits it is time to find out next how to design and live your best life.

Can Single Moms Build Wealth? 

The majority of single mothers have wondered whether it is possible for them to build wealth so that they can provide the best possible life experience for their children, along with other big questions like how to survive financially and how to achieve financial security. 
 
Money affects every area of life. It affects your family because when you are worried, stressed, distracted, worrying about bills, and overworked, you are more likely to not be present with your children and miss out on having special moments with them, and get irritated and/or angry very quickly.
 
Lack of money also affects your well-being, because you are less likely to spend money on your health check-up, gym memberships, eat organic healthy food, and feel anxious about your family’s future.
 
I have good news. Yes, it is definitely possible for a single mother to build wealth provided she has the right mindset, habits, knowledge, mentors and she is committed and believes in this possibility for herself.
 
Now that you know a single mom can build wealth, you may be wondering how exactly can a single mom build wealth. Let’s discuss that next.

How To Build Wealth As A Single Mom

You are considered to be wealthy when you have a complete-time (limited resource) freedom to do whatever with whoever and whenever without ever being forced to work for your money, and worrying about lack of money to pay your bills for the rest of your life. 
 
Let’s discuss the exact steps you can take to start your journey of becoming a wealthy single mom.

Step 1-Believe In Yourself

Know that you are a soul that is having a temporary human experience. You have been created with inner wisdom and power and your true essence is love, joy, peace, harmony and abundance. 
 
Your life has infinite possibilities. There is nothing you can’t be, do, or have. Dream BIG and take responsibility for your life and know that you create your life from the inside out. 
 
Your self-identity creates all your beliefs, thoughts, feelings, behaviours, actions and habits that then create your destiny.

Step 2-Design Your Best Life

Decide what kind of lifestyle you want to live. Map out what your perfect day would look like. Imagine, design and document your ideal vision for every area of your life. 
 
Your vision will empower you and pull you to achieve the intended results.
 
Identify your core values and align them to your life vision. Your values will help you stay true to yourself and guide all your decisions and actions.
 
Review your vision plan every day. Create a vision board that you can see every day showing your desired vision in every area of your life with pictures. 
 
Figure out why you want this lifestyle and get clear about how much money you will need to sustain this lifestyle. The stronger the reason the more you will be able to persist through tough times and challenges.
 
Set financial goals (weekly, monthly, and yearly) to turn your vision into reality. To be successful, it is important to make sure you are setting S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-based) goals.
 
Some of your financial goals could be to start a business (full time or part-time on the side), pay off debt, and creating a spending plan. 
 
You will begin to gain confidence as you start achieving some of these goals.

Step 3-Develop A Wealth Mindset And Habits

80% of all your accomplishments are based on your mindset and psychology and 20% on the tactics.
 
Identify and change any subconscious limiting money beliefs that you may have learnt and adopted as a child that do not serve and lead you to your desired life vision. 
 
The way you were taught to think about money when you were growing up determines your relationship with money as an adult.
 
If you repeatedly heard money is the root of all evil, rich people are not spiritual, and they are filthy rich, then you will never want to be wealthy by association due to the implied negativity.
 
One of the best ways to change your money stories is to find proof that your beliefs about rich people are not true. There are plenty of rich people who are spiritual and generous.
 
Associate with and study wealthy people, learn from them, read their books, take their courses, attend their seminars. Model their mindsets and strategies and what they are doing.
 
Learn to sacrifice for the short term and spend less than what you earn, delay gratification, save your money, and invest it for your future to create wealth.

Step 4-Know Your Current Financial State 

Know your current net worth number. The way you calculate this number is by adding up all your assets (cash in the bank, investments, your online business) and subtracting the total number of all your liabilities (debt). 
 
Your net worth number must be positive and not negative. You must be keeping and investing more money than you are making. It is hard to multiply your money and get ahead if you are living paycheck to paycheck.
 
Form a habit of tracking your net worth every quarter (3 months), so that you can measure progress. Remember what you focus on always expands. Your goal should be to make sure this number is always going up.

Step 5-Learn To Manage Your Money

In order to be trusted with more money and build wealth, you have to learn to manage what you currently have. You will not be able to handle millions of dollars if you cannot manage the money you have now.
 
Know how much income you are earning every month and what exactly your expenses are. Track and review your expenses every week, end of the month and for 3 months at least two different times of the year so that you are aware of the exact total number of your monthly expenses.
 
Create a monthly spending plan (fixed expenses, varied expenses, long term, short term and financial freedom investment savings, donation, self-education, and fun) for yourself.
 
Set up a peace of mind account and start saving a total of 12 months of your monthly expenses. This money can be available for use in case of any unplanned challenges like a job loss and any other unexpected expenses.
 
The most important goal you should have is to spend less than what you earn and invest the rest. Reinvest your profits so that your money can work for you and create more wealth.

Create a plan to pay off any consumer debt starting with the highest interest one first or the one with the lowest balance owing to gain momentum and confidence. Make a choice that suits you

Step 6-Decide On A Vehicle For Creating Wealth

Decide what vehicle you would like to use to build wealth, so you can live your vision of the lifestyle and wealth you desire. There are longer or shorter routes to building wealth, depending on the vehicle you choose to achieve it. 
 
The majority of the wealthy people that I have studied are business owners. Your income potential is unlimited as you are most likely not trading time for money and making money based on results and value-added in the market.
 
In my opinion, one of the best routes to building wealth and feeling financially secure is through starting your purpose-driven online business where you have the potential to earn as much income as you want by serving others and doing something you love and are passionate about. 
 
If you are committed to the process and persist through challenges, it is possible to become wealthy within 5-10 years with much lower start-up costs.
 
 
You can decide to continue working if you love your job and can achieve your desired lifestyle vision and invest your money in dividend-paying stocks, real estate and other cash-flow producing investments. 
 
This is a slower route in my opinion because the amount of money you have to invest and earn interest is limited to your salary in a job which is dependent on your time spent working which is also a limited resource.

Step 7-Expand And Learn About Your Wealth Vehicle

Once you choose your wealth vehicle, you need to decide who you will learn from, which courses you will invest in, what high-income skills you will need to learn, what book you will read, what habits you will let go of, and what habit you will need to acquire to be successful
 
Focus on and immerse yourself in this vehicle for at least a year before implementing new income streams. It is good not to rely on one income stream to generate all your monthly income however start focusing on and implementing one at a time.
 
If you have chosen the entrepreneur route then Sales and Marketing are the most essential skills that you should learn and master. 
 
Create transformational products and services and always over-deliver as you build your reputation and brand. 
 
Always strive to be resilient, never give up, move forward and learn to grow from every mistake and failure which is an inevitable part of life and doing business.

Step 8-Scale Your Wealth

For you to be truly wealthy and have the time freedom you must use systems (standard operating procedures) in your business and start delegating and leveraging other people’s time by hiring a team to help you handle the day-to-day operation of your business. 
 
Also, Invest in tools for automation to further free up your time.  
 
As a business owner, you should have time to spend on your business doing high-level activities like innovations, reviewing strategy, mission and vision and not in the daily operation of your business.  
 
Spend your time on activities that give you joy and generate high income if you choose to continue to do so.

Step 9-Maximize Your Wealth

Consult with an accountant to strategize and plan areas for tax savings, like optimizing your business structures, using donations and other investments like Real Estate.

Step 10-Protect Your Wealth

Buy appropriate insurance coverages (Life, Home, Car, and Liability) to protect your family, business and all of your other assets.
 
Hire an accountant to set up trusts for your children so that they can keep the wealth and save on taxes.
 
Hire a lawyer to draft a will so that your wealth can be transferred to your children without any legal battles and delays.
 
In conclusion, now you know that you can build wealth as a single mom. Don’t waste any further time and start your wealth acquiring journey by following the steps discussed in this article.
 
Start by believing in yourself, design your best life vision, develop a wealth mindset and habits, track your current financial state, learn to manage the money you currently have, decide on a vehicle to create wealth, learn and master your wealth vehicle, scale your wealth, maximize your wealth and protect your wealth.

Can you create your own Identity?

All of us, at some point, have wondered whether we can get rid of parts of our identity that we do not like and create an identity that we like. 
 
The answer is Yes, you can consciously choose to create your own Identity that serves you in creating your best, purposeful, and impactful life and change your self-identity, which is your perspective of your identity or personal sense of who and what you are especially if it does not benefit you.
 
So, you may be wondering, what exactly does your identity mean? Let’s discuss that next.

What is your Identity (Who am I)?

If you ask most people who are you? The answer will most likely be followed by their name, role (mum, sister, etc), a profession (doctor, dentist, etc).
 
We also identify with our gender, nationality, social class, age, race, physical characteristics, and abilities/disabilities. 
 
Our self-identity is the way we define ourselves. This includes our values, beliefs, and personality. Our past memories, hopes for the future, as well as our hobbies and interests are also ways that we define ourselves.
 
These identifications are based on the worldly acquired titles or roles we fulfill in our family or society and they do determine how you experience life and play a significant role in forming your self-identity.
 
They imply that you did not exist before coming on this earth or would cease to exist upon your death when you are no longer any of those previously mentioned answers. 
 
The real you which is your spirit existed before you came into this world physically and will continue to exist when you leave the earth. 
 
You are a physical extension of source energy and have values that are aligned to it. You are an infinite creative force with unlimited possibilities. 
 
You are a vibrational blessed loving being. You are abundance, harmony, joy, love, peace, compassion, and wellbeing by nature. 
 
We have all come on this earth to fulfill a purpose. We are here to grow, love and serve others based on our natural talents and god-given gifts. 

Why is it good to create your own identity?

Your thought vibrations radiate intentions. You create your reality and experiences and there is nothing you cannot be, do and have when you have a strong identity and self-identity. 
 
When your desires are a vibrational match to the source energy and there is no resistance you attract and receive whatever you want. You were born with this knowledge.
 
Therefore, it is important to maintain a strong identity, self-identity, and belief to chart your autonomous path confidently and build your best life that is in alignment with your values, purpose and vision.
 
People with strong self-identity are also confident, and resilient to navigate through life’s major challenges.
 
Self-identity is also important in establishing good boundaries with your family, friends and partner.

Where did your identity come from?

While you are in the womb, everything is in divine order. Your soul enters your body, your heart starts beating, all your organs and body parts are formed and start functioning at the perfect time and without any interference from anybody.
 
As soon as you are born, your family, culture, and the society takes over. You internalize what you see, hear and experience. 
 
Parents teach you what they learnt from their parents and hence the cycle of multigenerational habits, traditions, beliefs, programming starts.
 
You develop personality traits that serve you within your family, community, culture and society. You learn what to say, not to say, and how to behave to get your parents, siblings, friends, teachers and other people’s approval and love. 
 
You begin to identify and form an attachment to your ego which is an image that is not your true identity. This leads to the feeling of superiority or inferiority in relationships. 
 
We view some roles in society as higher than others. We get attached to these roles and make them our identity. 
 
Every soul deserves the same respect regardless of the role and societal status. We are all equal at the soul level.
 
You also develop other limiting beliefs about self-worth, how much money you are capable of earning, etc. These beliefs sabotage you from your true potential of abundance and infinite possibilities. 
 
Your programming leads you to form your self-identity and beliefs that guide your thoughts, feelings, results, and destiny. 
 
It is hard to be aware of the above-mentioned because this process takes place in your subconscious mind.
 
95% of your daily actions in the day are controlled by your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind works at a much faster speed than your conscious mind. 
 
Your brain has formed neural pathways for efficiency based on your repeated thought patterns. 
 
You have created the results that you currently have in your life by your thoughts and beliefs. You experience life as who you are, you get what you think about, and your inner life determines your results in your outer life.
 
You must change your identity and self-identity to live your best purposeful, meaningful, and harmonious life.

How do you create your own identity?

The good news is, now that you are aware of who you truly are (a limitless and formless soul with a body), you can now be empowered to take 100% responsibility for your life, live an authentically powered life guided by your soul, and let go of old ways of thinking. 
 
If you are committed and willing then there is nothing that will be impossible for you to attain.
 
You are now called to reorganize your life based on what your soul needs rather than what your small sense of self and role needs. 
 
When you listen to the call of your soul, you move towards growth, self-love, spirituality, greater fulfillment, and living in alignment with your higher selves. If you do not listen, your emotional and physical health both suffer.
 
You can no longer live your life as a victim by blaming, complaining, and justifying why you cannot achieve what you want in life. You can change the programming. You choose your personality traits and beliefs when you were a child. 
 
Your beliefs and personality traits were formed when you were little and now that you know as a conscious being, you can choose to stop believing in these sabotaging beliefs from running your life. 
 
According to studies done by Dr. Lipton, your biology (Cells and DNA) can be changed by your beliefs and thoughts.
 
Shift your thinking to align to source energy. Rediscover your original nature which is sincerity, generosity, service, kindness, compassion, peace, joy, abundance, harmony, and reverence for all living things. 
 
You access divine energy and manifest what you desire when aligned with your creator. Catch and stop the negative habitual thoughts that do not serve you and are not for your and others’ greater good.
 
When you start listening to your soul, you realize that your true identity, greater joy, and fulfillment do not come from material things, even though you may appreciate and enjoy them. 
 
You experience a deep desire to be of service and make an impact in other people’s lives. You feel something needs to be created, birthed, or expressed through you. 
 
You start asking: who am I and what is my purpose? You long to find and connect with like-minded people who are asking the same questions.

What kind of business can I start as a mom?

I believe it is very important for a mom to take charge of her finances and understand how to make money, save it, spend it, multiply it, and donate it, so she can teach her children to do the same. 
 
The ripple effects of a mom who is educated and comfortable with her finances are huge and can change the trajectory of her family for multiple generations. 
 
One of the best ways to make money is through owning your own business.
 
So what kind of business should moms start?
 
An online business is one of the best businesses any mum can start. Given the acceleration of shopping and education both moving online recently and the known profitable future potential of both these industries, it is an excellent business model for any mom to learn and start.

Why moms should start an online business?

Owning an online business is one of the best ways for you to grow, serve, create change and make a worldwide impact. 

Let’s discuss 10 reasons why moms should seriously consider starting an online business.

Fulfill your purpose

Starting your own online business makes it possible for you to have the freedom to design and create your life, work on what you love, and what gives your joy.
 
You can utilize your God-given gifts, natural talents and skills to create a brand, products and services that serve, solve problems, better the lives of your customers, and provide them with transformational results and experiences.

Growth

One of the fastest ways to personal development is through owning and starting your own business.
 
As you learn and grow you can continue to innovate your company and its offerings.
 
Also learning to manage yourself is a skill that will definitely improve as you begin this journey since there will be no one to watch over your shoulders, tell you what your priorities are, and give you deadlines.

Aligned values

It is possible to have your business’ values aligned to your core values.
 
For example, you can put your family first and take guilt-free time off when required especially in case of sickness and emergencies.

Energy

You can be in charge of your energy and spend time doing tasks that give you energy rather than depleting it.
 
You can stay healthy mentally by deciding and controlling how much negativity you will tolerate and allow in your business.
 
Decide how you want people to feel about your business brand.
 
You decide what kind of attitude you would tolerate from your team, vendors, and clients. 
 
You can easily maintain a positive outlook, higher energy, and well-being since there are also fewer chances of getting sick when you work from home and are less exposed to germs from co-workers.

Self-esteem

Knowing and believing that you are capable of generating your own income will lead to higher self-esteem, self-worth, and confidence.

Low start-up cost

The start-up cost is lower as there are no rental, utilities, or telephone expenses
 
Web hosting costs of $100-200 per year are required for your website.

Lower expenses

There are lower car-related expenses like gas, parking, and maintenance since you are no longer commuting to and from work. Your insurance rate will also go down because you are not going to be using your car as often.
 
Clothing and lunch expenses will also be reduced since you are not going to the office.

Location Freedom

You are free to work from whatever location within your house as well as in the world. You are not restricted to a desk and space that is chosen by your employer as long as you have an internet connection.
 
You are not restricted to work with customers who live in your local area and can have customers that are located worldwide.

Time Freedom

You have the flexibility to make your own schedule and work at whatever time that is suitable for you and your family.
 
You can decide whether you will start working in the morning or afternoon and how many breaks you will take. 
 
You can choose how many hours per day, week, month, quarter, and year you will work instead of having an employer determine that for you. 

High-profit potential

There is a higher potential to earn since you are paid based on your results and you are not trading time for money.
 
Also, you can eventually build a team, accomplish more, and generate higher income.

Can sell business

You have the potential to sell your business asset and walk away with a large sum of money within 18 to 36 months.

More spare time

You can outsource all the things you do not enjoy and enjoy more time off with your family.

16 Reasons why moms make best business owners

Moms definitely have the skills and strengths required to be the best business owners. 
 
Let’s discuss what some of these reasons are:

Strong Reason

Moms have a very strong reason to succeed in business especially when their family is relying on their financial success.
 
Also, moms would want to succeed so they can be good role models to their kid(s), inspire them to live their dreams and start their own businesses in the future.

Commitment and persistence

No matter how tired moms get they would still persist and do whatever tasks required for their children. They are fully committed to making sure their children are well taken care of and okay.
 
In the same way, once a mom commits to a business, she will persist through the rough patches in the initial stages.

Can multitask well

Moms have also mastered the art of multitasking. There is always more than one thing that is on a mom’s schedule to do such as laundry, cooking, working, helping with homework, paying bills etc. 
 
This skill is easily transferable to a business wherein the beginning you have to do a lot of the tasks yourself without any help. 

Nurturing

Moms also take a nurturer’s role in a family. They keep everyone united.
 
This skill is a definite asset initially in a business where a lot of nurturing and care is required in the initial stages of a business which is similar to looking after a newborn.

Work under pressure and urgency

Moms can work very well under pressure by focusing on one task at a time. For example, when there is a deadline to be met at work and also have to juggle all of the other household tasks like cooking, looking after a sick child, etc.
 
In a business, moms can do tasks with this same focus and prioritization.

Manage bad behaviour

All moms who have children that are 2 years or older have experienced the tantrums of the terrible twos and have learnt to manage them.
 
This skill is helpful when dealing with unreasonable customers, vendors, and staff.

Negotiate

Negotiation is an everyday occurrence in most households with children. Children love to push boundaries and negotiate. Moms learn to master the art of knowing when to negotiate, and how to get a win-win outcome by restricting the choices offered.
 
This skill can also be used in a business when negotiating deals with customers, vendors, and team members.

Patience

Motherhood requires a lot of patience especially when things do not go as planned, as well as a higher tolerance for pain.
 
A business requires a lot of patience and tolerance of painful moments especially initially when a lot of work is being done, however, the business is not known, is not serving a lot of people, and is not producing a lot of revenue.

Intuition

Moms are more inclined to listen to their intuition and gut feeling.
 
This skill can help moms make the right decisions that feel good in their business when it comes to communicating with the team, deciding who to do their business with, and who to hire.

Organization

Moms are very organized when it comes to coordinating all the tasks and events for their children and family.
 
These skills are very useful and important in a business when it comes to organizing all the daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly work tasks, activities and events.

Compassionate

Moms are very much compassionate and in tune with others’ feelings when delivering bad news to others. They display their emotions freely and teach their children to do the same.
 
This skill is very useful when feedback and performance guidance is given to the team and vendors without talking down to them. 

Leadership instinct

Moms have a natural leadership instinct and are always able to guide their family’s actions based on their family morals and values.
 
These skills can be used in a business as a visionary to make sure that all decisions are made in accordance with business values.

Not afraid to speak their mind

Moms are not afraid to jump in and speak their minds, give their opinions, and guidance.
 
This skill helps to resolve issues sooner in both family conflicts and those within your business.

Community

Moms have great networking skills and are more open to seeking and talking to other moms, mentors, and other like-minded people to find answers to their questions related to their family or children.
 
These skills help them get answers to their difficult questions in a business sooner, enabling them to progress faster.

Trust

Moms invoke trust faster. It is assumed that a mom has certain characteristics and she will not be out there to lie and take advantage of other people.
 
Potential customers tend to have an easier time supporting and buying from a mom and forming know, like, and trust relations with mom business owners faster. 

Ask a lot of questions

Moms are not afraid to ask a lot of questions in order to better be able to guide their children, family, and friends.
 
This skill is helpful when it comes to finding out exactly what the customers, vendors and team member’s needs are to fully solve their problem(s) and serving them.

Event planning

Moms are better event planners and have great attention to detail. Most moms are responsible for planning events such as birthdays, graduations, engagements, weddings, bridal showers, funerals, etc.
 
It is easy for a mom to transfer these skills to planning a work event and handling all the details like ordering food, booking public speakers, booking a venue, etc.
 
In conclusion, if you are a mom who is ready to take control of her own finances then starting an online business is one of the best businesses you can start
