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

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.

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.

Entrepreneur Artistry Chakra Philosophy for Business Owners Entrepreneurship is Creative Thinking Hi Reader, "Well you chose to live in Indonesia Mellie, I don't know how you do it..." I'm on the phone to my brother. Utterly wrecked from a two day immigration change and bombshell extravaganza. Last week I was going about my business. This week?... the red carpet got royally yanked from under me leaving me illegal. Not the first time I've been a fugitive. I don't think it matters what country...

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 No friendship is an accident - for better or worse. Hi Reader, Last night I was in a gorgeous villa sharing philosophical ideas with Harvard Professor and New York Times Bestselling Author, Noah Feldman about the spiritual constructs of life, religion and who or what is God? The fact that I can write a sentence like that makes me very happy. You see the past few years, particularly since October 2023, I've felt incredibly lonely....
