The One Thing I Tripped Up On (and Won’t Do Again!)


Entrepreneur Artistry

Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners

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.

Everything you have seen from me I've pretty much done by myself over the past 10 years (this is me blatantly blowing my own horn, in public, in the name of pure vanity and pride, before I finally start handing this over to someone else):

  • Website - design and copy
  • Social media posts
  • Newsletters
  • Course creation
  • Automations
  • Payment gateways
  • Invoicing
  • Bookkeeping (well at least the intention)
  • Responding to emails
  • Customer delivery
  • Enquiry calls
  • Webinars
  • Sign up pages
  • Marketing campaigns
  • Student support
  • And anything else that comes up along the way...

... it's no way to live.

Good way to learn about business. But no way to live... I've got a hot date on Friday with a gorgeous Hawaiian man 🔥 (not my personal trainer btw before you ask! lol... ) - and I don't want business to get in the way of my relationships anymore.

My 10 year apprenticeship is now officially complete.

Be Revolutionary,

Ps. I have a course. It's called 'The Initiation'.

👉🏽 It teaches you how to manage your business emotional roller-coaster, and instead use your emotions to know specifically what area and strategy of business you need to focus on to make real progress. Result: you'll also end your apprenticeship (if you really want to scale your business and get your life back that is). It's called The Initiation for a reason.

You can buy it here.

10 Red Flags You've Overstayed Your Apprentice Years

⏰ Time's Up:

  1. Your To-Do List Never Ends: No matter how much you do, there’s always more.
  2. Control Freak Mode: You say, “It’s faster if I do it myself” (but it’s really not).
  3. CEO or VA? You spend more time in Canva than closing deals.
  4. Business vs. Life: Your inbox gets more attention than your relationships.
  5. Jack of All Trades, Master of None: You're stuck in “learning” mode instead of scaling.
  6. The Money Block: Hiring help feels expensive, but not hiring keeps you broke.
  7. Burnout is Your Business Model: You’re exhausted, but you still don’t delegate.
  8. Stuck in the $5 Work: Invoicing, admin, tech issues—your zone of genius is MIA.
  9. Your Business Owns You: Vacations? Spontaneous fun? Never heard of them.
  10. You Keep Saying "One Day"—but that day never comes.

🛑 S.P.E.C.I.A.L EDITION👇🏽 IMPORTANT: WE NEED YOU Hi Reader, Picture this: You meet an incredibly talented artist and pro ranked athlete who landed a sponsorship to a world-class training facility in Bali for two months. A week before he heads back to Egypt, you’re sitting across from him in a small empty café in Canggu. Sitting there in his shorts and t-shirt, he fiddles with his seashell bracelet while the rooster crowing by you both is driving him nuts. He’s stressed. He puts his head in...

🎵 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...'. But I'm just not corporate. 🤷🏼♀️ And why I think that route has never worked - deep down I've never wanted it. I have no patience for it. Relating to that world feels preposterous. Red tape irritates me.Corporate...
