    secret timeI never thought I would be able to live my creative, spiritualdreams AND be paid incredibly well to do it.You might be just like me you grew up wanting to do

    something unique, different, creatie the thing that made you

    happy. But you were cautioned against it by peeps who were

    well-meaning but misguided. You were told stuff like:

    Y dn wn b svn s.

    any v s d nd sy.

    ts n ny n dn sn .

    So just like you probably did - I sheled my dreams.

    I went to uniersity and lasted six months before deciding

    I didnt want to be reliant on my parents. I became a legal

    secretary by day, a student by night. I was determined that if

    I couldnt do my dreams, I would do the typical dream, and

    show I could rise quickly through the office job ranks. I ended

    up working my way up through the Australian Goernment,

    spending a stint working for Ministers in Parliament House,

    getting promotion after promotion before landing my way

    as an editor of business.go.au (a United Nations Award

    winning website!)

    It still wasnt enough.

    Leonie, what do you want to do with your life?

    I was steadfast and determined in my answer: One day, Im

    going to be Prime Minister of Australia.

    She looked at me eyes and said:

    Leonie, youre far too good for that. What is it you

    REALLY love?

    Well, Im an artist and a writer and I wish I could do

    something with that one day...

    Do that then. Put your energy and your passion into that.

    My dear friend Mel was right that day. Shed already been in

    the depths of the public service for years. Shed seen how hard

    it was for change to be made, how jaded it could make those

    with a vision. She knew my ambition wasnt fuelled by my own

    passion. And she wanted me to find a new path that was

    just that.

    Its been many years since we had that conversation.

    Where This Public Service Hippy Has Gone

    Once I set my sights on finding my true ambition, I realized

    my dreams were the things I adored doing as a kid:

    Making art, Writing words, Trying to describe the beauty of

    the world around me. When I was young, I was filled with

    this eerie push: that there was something I knew that other

    people didnt. That I needed to tell them: they are loved. Thateverything is okay. That the world is beautiful and good.

    That that undefinable light and glow and rapture I could feel

    (back then I didnt know what to call it know I know it as

    communion with God, with Great Spirit) they could feel

    it too.

    It took a kInd mentor to pull

    me asIde one day to put me on the

    rIght path. she asked...

    How they run their businesses.

    How they care their passions and joys into a job.

    How to get super profitable and abundant.

    And being a Scorpio that I am, I hae no qualms whatsoeer

    about talking about a lot of things that other people can find

    squeamish sex, death & money, namely. Its all sacred to me.

    So I wanted to share the idea behind how my business

    currently makes money and how my business strategy has

    been based off one book and one dream.

    A Book With A Question

    I found a book when my daughter Ostara was a few weeksold. It was in a musty secondhand bookstore one of our usual

    haunts. Ostara was unsettled at the time I only had about 20

    minutes between feeds. So I sped through the aisles, making

    my way to the business section, pulling out a pile of books and

    handing them to my loe. These. Mine. And then I sped out the

    front door, nestled into our warm car with Ostara and fed

    her again.

    I read it when we got home, as she nursed and slept in

    my arms.

    one thing i absolutely adore reading isthe stories of how others do it.

  • 7/29/2019 Blogging Biz Star Workbook

    11/68

    And actually its not even true that I read it all. I read half

    the book. There are two parts to the book a novel about a

    woman who needs to become a millionaire, and the practical

    steps to use to become a one minute millionaire And because

    stories ALWAYS inspire me more and make more sense to

    my brain, I read the novel, ditched the practical part. I wont

    recount the story to you here, because it isnt important.

    What the story DID to me, however, is.

    It struck up a question in my mind:

    What would be my one million dollar idea?

    And if I had to make one million dollars, howwould I make it?

    It wasnt just some hazy kind of idea for me. It wasnt just some

    kind of vague what-if-in-the-future question.

    It was real, and it was a question I needed to answer.

    The Question I Needed To Answer

    You see, my love and I had decided it was time to make The

    Change. For eight years, wed been living in an alpine city.

    We were both working as public servants in the Australian

    Government. Id been building my business part-time for a

    couple of years and it was going really wonderfully.

    It was the book

    the one MInute MIllIonaIre.

    I didnt want to go back to work after my maternity leae

    finished. And my loe didnt get to see Ostara for the fie days

    a week that he worked. We didnt want to be so cold and

    isolated. We wanted to be together and warm and raising our

    daughter and haing a good life.

    So we decided to quit our jobs and moe back across the

    countryside to my hometown in tropical paradise - North

    Queensland, Australia. My hometown is beautiful, but there

    arent many jobs there much less the kind of jobs we wanted.

    So we knew we would hae to rely on my business. And dont

    get me wrong I had a huge amount of faith and belief in my

    business, just as I do now. But I wanted to know how I could

    make it happen without freaking out.

    (Photo: My little family the day

    we came home from the birth

    centre our wee baby girl is the

    pink bundle in Daddys arms!

    And yes, we TOTALLY got

    photobombed by our dog!

    but now was the time we had to makea giant leap of faith.

    I needed a Milion Dolar Idea.

    Except right at that point? I didnt really need a Million

    Dollars. I worked out the sums of our mortgage and car andbills, and worked out we would need $75,000 a year at

    least. $100,000 a year to be able to put away saings and

    lie comfortably. (Out of interest, when I talk to some of my

    loely international friends about mortgages, they are often

    surprised at how expensie Australian mortgages are. Our

    home was $265,000 & is one of the cheapest prices you

    could probably expect for a house anywhere in Australia.)

    Which is all a rather elaborated way of saying, I decided I

    needed to hae a One Hundred Thousand Dollar idea.

    Dont get me wrongsies I knew I could eentually come up

    with a One Million Dollar idea. But for right then? The One

    Hundred Thousand Dollar idea is what I wanted to stretch

    myself too. I knew I had an intense year ahead of me new

    mamahood with a baby and a moe across the countryside.

    That was my energy parameters.

    So it was to be a One Hunded ThousandDoa idea.

    what i needed

  • 7/29/2019 Blogging Biz Star Workbook

    14/68

    Want more amazing stuff like this in your life darlingheart? LeonieDawson.com is the place! | 14

    I started running numbers.

    How many ways could I create one hundred thousand dollars?

    I took stock of all the e-courses, meditations & workbooks I

    had created.

    I could sell 1,000 copies of my workbook at $9.95 to get

    almost $10,000. Only $90,000 to go!

    I could sell 200 meditations at $49.95 each for

    another $10,000.

    And then I could sell 800 of my e-courses. I could run 4

    terms and get 200 students each term.

    Theres my $100,000. I knew it could be done, I just knewit would be a stretch. It would mean a lot of hustle, a lot of

    marketing, a lot of energy and time.

    I would need to hae to conert sales as often as possible, drie

    traffic as much as I could, push, market, create and push.

    And as I held my newborn daughter in my arms, and felt the

    mammoth task of mamahood in front of me, I knew I justdidnt hae that kind of energy and time.

    I needed a bette idea. A simpe idea.

    how to make it happen?

    One that was happier and more joyful and full of ease.

    The idea came in a dream, in the haze of milky hours

    between nightime newborn feeds.

    At that point in time, I had 2000 people on my mailing list, and

    750 RSS subscribers at that point in time. Ive always had a really

    amazing conversion rate with my tribe of women... even though

    my numbers are relatively small by epic-business-proportions, my

    tribe have always been incredibly receptive & supportive of myideas & courses & projects. Im very very grateful for it, and I try

    to give as much to them as I can from wherever I am.

    So with all these things beating in my heart andsoul, I knew it was the right thing for me. And Iknew with all my insides that my beautiful tribe

    of goddesses would love it too. For years theyhad been asking for a permanent private circlehome, instead of just intermittent e-course circleswhere they could connect together.

    When the light of morning came, i

    looked back at that piece of paper, and i

    Wondered at the possibility of it.

  • 7/29/2019 Blogging Biz Star Workbook

    So I set about building a mini-empire. I wanted to create a

    sanctuary for them, a space where I could pour all the love

    and guidance and inspiration I had, and they could take

    whatever they needed each moment, each day of their year.

    I also decided to open up 10 premium memberships at $1000

    each it included coaching & business-brainstorming & a

    custom painting. I wanted to offer something for goddesses

    who were wanting to have as much access to me as

    they needed.

    In the first year we had almost 1500 members. My $1000 a

    head premium memberships were sold out within a month of

    opening them. It was an incredible, ginormous, wild success of

    epic proportions.

    I get to help people. I get to earn money easily. I get to create.I get to give it all away. And it all turns into this wonderful

    rainbow-scented circus of love.

    Building the idea

    I dont need to hustle. I dont need to push. I

    dont really need to market that much anymore.

    I write the best posts I can to help as many goddesses as

    possible. I create podcasts & videos & posters & meditations &

    ebooks, and set them free into the world like sparkling birds.

    And I just create.I pour out all the wisdom thats in my heart into things likethe Business Goddess e-course and the 2012 Creating your

    Goddess Year workbook, planner & calendar and the Creating

    with Kids workshop.

    And I give them all to my members. Just keep on sending anabundant supply of love, resources + inspiration to them.

    50% of my traffic comes from Twitter and Facebook.

    Let me repeat that:

    50% o my taic comes om Twitteand facebook.

    People are hanging out there.

    You need to go there and show up for them to see you and

    hear your gifts.

    Imagine them as the busy cafes in the illage... you go there to

    hang out, meet beautiful souls & share about what you do.

    Go. Play. Talk about what you do and why you loe it.

    Loe other people.

    Its also way too easy to lose sight of your business (and soul)

    goals when you are there though.

    5 hang on twitter and facebook

    You need to be strategic + filled with intention when you use

    social media to share about what you do.

    It needs to be done in a way that fills you up, energises you +

    enthralls your customers.

    I knew that my sacred crystal biz wanted to grow. I wanted toleae my teaching position and step out of the matrix & into the

    world of contributing, creating & running my sacred crystal biz

    FULL TIME.

    I just didnt know exactly what

    needed to be done & how

    to get it done. So I turned to

    working with my crystals, to

    manifesting. I know they set

    up the energies just so and

    aligned me with you, Leonie!

    I suddenly knew I needed a

    biz coach but I didnt resonate

    with most of run of the mill

    boring ole entrepreneur coaches out there. I knew it had to besomeone who was spiritual & GOT me, my sacred crystal biz

    & what Im trying to bring to the world. And then *poof*, there

    you were!! Of course. I knew then, I didnt need a biz coach, I

    needed a LEONIE!

    What an incredible knowledge base you hae. You turned the

    lights on, gae me actionable items & concrete steps to take that

    case study

    quickly changed the game for me and allowed me to make myBIG beautiful dream a reality in just two months!!

    In six week, I DOUBLED my income, TRIPLED the size of

    my mailing list ALREADY. Im set on full speed ahead right

    now for exponential growth thanks to following your UBER-

    FANTASMO adice!!!

    I was able to quit my job within six weeks of talking to you.

    I am so ery excited to do this sacred biz of mine FULL

    TIME now thanks to you. I was able to do this with your

    mentorship & expert coaching. Its what Ie been working

    towards & isualizing for quite some time now. I KNOW with

    eery sparkly cell in my being that THIS is what Im meant to

    be doing!! To lie a more meaningful life focused on growth

    & actiities that make my soul SING: sharing more crystalteachings with the world, writing, teaching, creating & working

    with my Crystal Peeps!

    Thank you Leonie.

    I practice a lot of discipline and relationship-management and

    time-management to get my stuff done and be a mama.

    And HOW I do it has changed as my daughter grows older

    and our lifestyle has changed.

    So lets gie you two scenarios: what I did when she was a

    newborn, then what I did when she was a baby, and what I donow shes a toddler.

    NEWBOrN STAGE:

    My daughter was not one of those babies that was okay for me

    to leae for een an hour when she was under six months. Plus,

    I was exclusiely breastfeeding, and for those first four months

    or so, it felt like all I did what sit on the couch and breastfeed.

    And whilst my husband is now at home with us now thanks

    to my booming business, when my daughter was a newborn it

    wasnt the case. For the first fie months, he worked full time,

    and I looked after the needs of my baby, my business and me.

    It was a crazy combination. I basically didnt put her down for

    Q: how do i get stuff doneif i am a mama?

    fie months I held her when she napped and I always went

    to bed at 6pm with her to try and wedge in enough sleep

    between the endless night wakeups. Kinda bonkerdoodles

    now I think about it, but thats cool its just where I was

    at. She was such a light sleeper who neer really napped on

    her own that it ended up being the path of least resistance to

    always hae her in my arms.

    So, babe in arms. Still running a massiely busy business on

    my own.

    How?

    I think thats how a mamas get stu done.

    One of the keys to it was this: my loe gae me an iPod Touch

    when Ostara was a week old. I protested at first. I said But! Im

    supposed to be looking in her eyes 24/7! Een when shes got

    them closed! Een when were breastfeeding 15 hours a day! Its

    supposed to be ALL NATURAL, honey!

    And he said

    Im cool with you being all natural, but youe gotta stay sane

    too ya know. A bit of balance is a good thing for a mama.

    Damn hes hot. I mean wise. I mean hot.

    Anywaysies, that lil iPod Touch became my Business

    Workstation for all those months. I wrote 1100 word blog posts

    with one finger as I breastfed my daughter to sleep, and asshe slept for hours on me. Id respond to Twitter during 3am

    breastfeeds (My daughter would take an hour eery time to

    breastfeed. I KNOW RIGHT. Anyways, it happened. And we

    suried. And I totally desere a gold star! Ha!) I responded to

    emails, I dreamed up new ideas for the business, I implemented

    marketing strategies. All from my one touch typing on my iPod.

    i Just did it.

    In a world that had become suddenly so ensconced with

    mamahood, to keep writing and doing this beautiful business of

    mine was my outlet and my joy and my sense of normal.

    BABY STAGE:

    As my daughter grew, things began to change. Once she was

    ready to be left with her Daddy-o for longer than a ten minute

    patch, I started implementing two hour work sessions to catch

    up, regain my sanity and start finding my creatie happy

    space again.

    I would nurse my daughter to sleep for her afternoon nap

    wheneer shes ready. (We werent not on any kind of

    schedule. Im just not a schedules kinda girl. Sometimes I

    wondered if I should, but I figured all three of us (mama, papa

    + baba) were happy and settled so we stayed schedule-free.)

    Once she was asleep, I kissed her cute lil forehead, pull some

    clothes on (you know... the kind you can be seen in public in),

    tossed my laptop & eerything I needed in my Mobile Office

    (my canas rucksack) & headed across the back lot into town.

    We lied only one street away from the centre of our little

    town, and I had a couple of different places I usually went to

    get work done: the top of an ancient fig tree in a little park

    it was what i had to do, so i Just did it.(it could be like Swiss Family Robinson up there! Oh my

    goshness, so dreamy!), or the town library, or one of the

    little cafes for a cupcake or hot chocolate. When I wrote thisworkbook the ery first time, I was writing it in our car in the

    parking lot of our library while it poured with monsoonal rain.

    It felt like being outside! But without the wet laptop!

    I didnt hae internet access during that time and it was el

    fantastico for productiity. No distractions... only the white page

    & wild donkeys to ride.

    Then when two hours is up, I head home again, and hang

    out with my daughter while my loe studies. We made art &eat & play with the dogs and nestle up on a mattress on the

    floor. I usually hae a couple of loose projects we can work

    on together. And I made sure we rested as much as possible.

    I realized early on in mamahood that Ie only got a limited

    amount of energy per day, and if I run around like a headless

    chook, I soon lose the rest of me too.

    When she was asleep at night, I would jump on my laptop and

    do another couple of hours of work this time with internet

    access. Weee! This is when I publish blog posts, answer emails,

    hang out in the Goddess Circle to answer questions, and post

    stuff to Facebook & Twitter.

    so then i would have two hours tocreate my next product or e-course or

    write blog posts or guest posts.TODDlEr STAGE:

    My daughter is now three.

    Wee weaned from breastfeeding, and shes happy and

    chirpy and totally happy to hae Papa Time eery afternoon

    in the week.

    i spend the mornings with my two loves.we go on adventures, go to the beach,

    hang out at home and cook and play.And in the afternoons, I kiss and wae and I head to my studio

    at the other end of the house (behind two sets of locked doors

    Ie learned what happens when I dont lock them. I get

    frequent isitors that, whilst charming, make me spend twice

    the amount of time doing one thing than if I was focused. Id

    rather be totally present and centered and productie withmy work while I do it, then be present and centered with my

    family when Im with them. It doesnt work for me to always be

    melding them together.)

    I still only work 2-3 hours a day. I stay

    focused and only do the things that are hugely

    important, what will moe my business forward

    and what will help the most amount of people.

    I now dont work at night time or on weekends (yay!) I create

    systems for eerything that needs doing, automate as much as

    possible, and get my team to do the work that isnt essential

    for me to do anymore. Its meant so much more leerage and

    balance in my life, and means Im no longer the bottleneck

    in my company. My company doubles or triples in size each

    year and Ie neer worked a standard 40 hour work

    week in it its always been much much less.

    Huge miracles can be achieed as long as we stay focused,

    centered and immensely productie in the time that we hae

    to do our work. (Make sure you turn the internet off when

    you hae to create! Otherwise as soon as you hit a snag or

    resistance of any kind, youll automatically moe to whats

    easier which often means social media frittering!)

    heres the things ive learned aboutgetting stuff done as a mama

    I do *not* stay up at night to get more done. Ie experimented, and 9:30 is my conk-out time. If I go to bed any later,I am exhausted the next day, its harder to write (and function), and I crash and burn a lot more.

    I dont try & do work on the laptop while shes awake. I could while she was a little button, but not now shes super

    actie. She now knows the art of pressing keys on the laptop, and its totally adorable and eerything, but doesnt

    result in much work being done. Unless you count my brain saying ark! arch! productiity! make stuff happen! but not

    happening! Its SO much better if I just accept the hours I hae with my daughter as being just that: hang out time

    with her. Stuff can get done when her eyelids are closed or Im in my studio.

    I dont spend as much time anymore on stuff that doesnt make much impact. Ie got a big ision of what I want to

    do. Ie got big goals. And I try to only concentrate on stuff thats going to get me there.

    For me now, getting time out eeryday seres two purposes: I get my work done. And its my happy time. My sane

    time. When I dont get it, my anxiety returns from its happy cae where I wish it would stay. I feel like getting time

    to myself eeryday is pretty much essential to my mental health. I used to think I would be 24/7 attachment mama,

    but for this particular constellation of cells, I work best when I hae time to integrate on my own each day. And I willmoe mountains to make sure that happens. A happy mama is as important as a happy baby.

    What will happen if Chris goes back to work? Ill work it out. Well work it out. Well find a wonderful daycare or

    nanny to help out for a few hours each day. Most importantly, well find a way for all our needs to be met.

    Heres the questions I ask myself:

    1. Ds y d i dnd ny

    w i n ?

    2. i v d w ny i nd

    n. and i d s nd s i n

    ssby ny i nd w i n

    j, n i dn d .

    I hae fun side-projects to work on when I hae the time. But

    when I need to make the money, I go where the money is.

    For me right now, what is profitable is creating e-courses &

    meditation kits & workbooks that I can help as many people aspossible with. They are to a big extent passie income as in, I

    dont hae to recreate each one wheneer anyone has to buy it.

    Being a new mama, I dont hae much time thats the thing

    that is in major deficit for me. So I only do a ery ery limited

    amount of coaching now (if any at all). And I didnt do lie

    eents until Ostara was older 2 and a half was the time

    when I started doing lie eents again.

    My aim is to help as many women as possible, so creating

    e-products is a great fit for that.

    And as to what wi be poitabe?

    My tribe of women decides on that. I create things based on

    what I get asked for a lot, or what Im getting a soul-nudging

    to create.

    And I try to put the same amount of marketing in as I can

    with each.

    But always some products will ring the bell, others wont as

    much. Thats okay. You can always create more.

    Q: how do you work out if something isprofitable for you or not ?

    My Diine Dreaming meditation kit has been bought oer 500

    times... but my Chakra Healing Goddess meditation kit has been

    bought maybe 40 times?

    So, in summing up...

    I just go where the money & energy flows, really. I like to make

    my money easily and happily.

    And the Amazing Biz + Life Academy has been such a

    wonderful way to do this by giing my treasured tribe

    eerything I can to help them create their own amazing lies

    and businesses, its been a win-win-win for eeryone inoled!

    Q: What is your writing process how often do

    you write when do you decide that what you

    write is good enough to post when do you

    decide that what you wrote is ready to post?

    some of my e-courses are always morepopular than others.

    Eeryday.

    I just try to pour out whateer is inside me.

    And I let it sit on my desktop for a couple of days.

    I know if its good enough to post whether it brings me to

    tears or makes me get goosebumps when I read it again.

    My gut.

    I just go with where my gut tells me.

    It hasnt aied me yet.

    Im totally okay with telling the world Im six weeks pregnant.

    Im totally okay with crying on ideo because of a miscarriage

    scare. Im totally okay with sharing (semi-nekkid) birth photos &

    our birth story.

    Im okay with those things because it lit me up and I knew it

    was the right thing to do.

    There are many other things that I dont share simply because

    my gut says not to. And thats cool with me.

    And my loe (who is ery hot) is much more priate than me,

    Q: how do you decipher what topost on your blog what areas of

    your life do you keep private ?so I usually ask his permission before I write something

    about him or post too many photos of him. Because oh

    my goshness, it would be a 24/7 tsunami of Chris

    hotness if I didnt.

    The End.

    Q: How do I know what I can offer my

    readers that they would buy from me?

    How do I figure out what that is?

    1. What do they ask you about a lot?

    2. What are you feeling called to making?

    3. Why dont you just TRY IT OUT and SEE?

    Read this post. From when I felt exactly the same way.

    Read this post. To find out if making my dreams come true still

    scares the shi* out of me. (Spoiler alert: of COURSE it does!)

    Q: Also are there any resources you recommend

    on the technical aspects of offering e-courses and

    ebooks? I do hae fear about the technical bits

    and then I freeze up.

    Im trying to pour as much wisdom & technical know-how

    about ebooks & ecourses into the Amazing Biz and Life

    Academy (a good place to begin in there is the Business

    Goddess program), so hopefully this should help!

    Q: How do I deal with peoples criticism?

    Ignore anyones adice/criticism/judgements unless they are

    genuinely happier than you.

    Q: how do i cope with the fear ofputting my stuff out there?

    I haent been in a circumstance yet when someone criticisingme is actually happier than me.

    SO I WIN. YAY!

    Thats my two second answer.

    Want my foreer long story that has a bit of swearing in it?

    I got judged & bullied when I was a kid. When I was 15, I

    got so fed up with being bullied for being me, I informed my

    parents that I was either going to send myself to boarding

    school or go and be an exchange student. I ended up

    choosing to go to a wonderful little country boarding school

    where I ery happily spent the next two years swimming in

    quiet waters. Yay! No bullying!

    But heres the thing I learned.

    Its a ery special motto:

    FUKEM.

    If you say it quickly enough, youll hear my sacred saying.

    I really bloody LOvE being Leonie. I makes me happy. I like

    my quirks and my silliness and who I am. I dig that my brain

    doesnt work like many other peoples.

    And I dont want to be like anyone else. Especially boring

    people who judge me.

    I LOvE my little life.

    And I hae a blatant disregard for anyone who doesnt loeme. I think ummm... well arent you a bit daft then! Im

    awesome! Okay then! Im off to keep dancing!

    If people dont get it, its cool by me. Because what I am and

    what I do makes me totally happpppy.

    So...

    FUKEM.

    And I get to hang out with people who DO get it and get

    me (nearly most of the time) and they are the kind of peeps I

    want to hang out with.

    the thing is...

    (Also, as an aside... you know what happens quite often

    when you think someone doesnt get it or doesnt loe you?

    They often come to their senses much later. Like Ie had a

    number of people I lost contact with who I thought just didnt

    adore me anymore... and theye found me later on and said

    Leonie, I really need to tell you how much a blessing you

    were in my life... thank you for eerything... een when I didnt

    get it...)

    And I totay beieve that a o ie is ike that.We a see each othes beauty eventuay. Just

    give it time.

    And in the meantime,

    carry on haing a

    freaking amazing time

    being you.

    There was a piotal moment in my business.

    The moment when I realized Id spent YEARS building my

    creatie and spiritual muscles.

    And precisely NONE spent at the gym across the road,

    working on my business and marketing muscles.

    Let me tell you RIGHT NOW:

    Business and marketing people are NOT BORN THAT WAY.They are MADE.

    They LEARN IT ALL.

    And YOU can too.

    You arent destined to just be a poor hippy thats afraid of

    numbers and all that scary marketing stuff your whole life.

    It doesnt HAvE to be that way.

    If this numbers-phobic hippy can learn business and marketing,

    you can too.

    I know it can be REALLY oerwhelming trying to decipher

    1 decide to grow your business muscles

    all the left-brain jargon when you first start out. If youre

    needing something thats in hippy-speak and easy to

    understand but still super-powerful, you might find the

    Business Goddess program and the rest of my business

    and marketing courses in the Amazing Biz and Life

    Academy helpful.

    I know this kinda sounds like the aboe point, but trust me,

    its different.

    When I was first starting out, I was so afraid of inesting

    in myself.

    And then I realized it is SO MUCH EASIER to grow my

    business if I find someone who has been where I am right now

    and has worked out the way to the place I want to be and

    LEARN from them.

    Because they know the map and the directions which I dont

    know right now.

    So I started inesting in myself, and my business education. I

    started off by reading business and marketing blogs and books,

    and while they were helpful, I realized that I got much bigger

    results if I inested in online programs instead about the exacttopic I was looking for.

    I gotta tell you wheneer you inest in education for yourself

    and IMPLEMENT IT, you will always, always, ALWAYS see

    a huge return on your inestment.

    2 invest in yourself

    I reckon ROI on education is at least 10% - in that if I spend

    $100 on a program, Ill earn at least $1000 more. Not a badprofit margin if you ask me!

    Plus I get to expand my mindset and what is possible along

    the way!
