🎵 A Chill Afternoon Near the Mekong - read full post Hi Reader, I laugh at the amount of time I've spent trying to tap into the corporate market with my Face Reading. I'm not talking hours or weeks... I'm talking years! Everyone always reiterating 'but that's where the money is...'.

Red tape irritates me.Corporate...

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Influence & Experimentation Hi Reader, Good lord. You may recall a few newsletters back where I shared I'm a 3/5 Human Design.My experience with this Hawaiian guy (from the last newsletter) is such a clear and great example of my 3/5 Human Design in action. I dive into the fire, experience what's going on, and then come out the other side with a clear knowing of what doesn't work. Knowing everything, doesn't work. For me. All is now...

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Saving My Own Soul. Hi Reader, I’ve built businesses before, and I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. But this time I refuse to screw things up with the Bali Retreat Broker. I finally took the leap and hired a full-time assistant over the weekend (!!). I’m both excited and terrified - because letting go of control and the thought of training someone truly strains my brain. I'm a stubborn muffin (Taurus Moon). And I can do a lot....

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Money Mindset Lesson... Hi Reader, I have this pain-in-the-ass money mindset I'm constantly working on.When things are tight I try to figure out how I can stretch $20 to cover $40. It's ridiculous! Growing up I watched both parents hustle with work, multiple jobs, side gigs and businesses. I even remember counting coins at the dinning table.

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Professional blunder... Hi Reader, You're allowed to choose who you work with. I can tell in the first minute of an enquiry call whether someone's going to waste my time, or if I'm excited to help them. Yesterday I had a Bali Retreat Broker zoom call enquiry.
