In the February Issue:
Being an entrepreneur is your drive to take charge of your passion and create something new out of it by being curious, building connections, and creating value.
Being a WOMAN entrepreneur is following your intuitions and dreams as you want to inspire, even with the FEAR of being different or failing. Maybe you are the first in your family to break the chain of relying on and depending on your partner, not only financially but emotionally too. Making a new path while nobody believes in you isn’t for the faint hearted!
Even setting out on this journey with our beautiful, big dreams and tons of enthusiasm, it's still easy to lose direction in the never-ending to-do list and the choices we have to make on a daily basis in the midst of being busy by being a mom, a wife/partner, a sister, a friend, a housekeeper, an organizer, a budget manager, a chauffeur, a leader, and many more things. YOU ARE CAPABLE and never doubt that. The hardship lies in having to process so many things every single day!
We must acknowledge what highly emotional beings we are, and how that sets us apart from the opposite gender. Therefore, we need to use our feminine energy and powers in order to deal with our emotions, fear of judgment, failure, and money blocks!
We feel overwhelmed, burned out, isolated, confused, and indecisive under the pressure of expectations and having to fulfill many things at once.
These feelings originate from intense self-doubt and lack of confidence, which will result in procrastination and inaction, at a high cost to our business!
Have I mentioned that we tend to neglect ourselves due to lack of time and motivation, and our lives become about work only at the cost of our physical and mental well-being?
You need a ‘little’ boost to break free from this vicious cycle of beating yourself up and not believing in yourself.
There is only one thing that can be done, and it is the "BOSS Mindset Shift" - so you can run your business with confidence, clarity, and certainty. Here is how.
As a leader and the CEO of your company, you need to become resilient, resourceful, consistent, and keep a cool head in all situations (well, most situations will do!). You are the creator and the mastermind behind every post, interview, course, and conversation you put out there as content and brand image. You are in full charge of every decision behind the scenes.
You always need to recall why you started, that strong motivation that is unbreakable. It’s imprinted in your heart and soul, so nobody can take it away from you!
You must learn to erase “I can’t!” from your dictionary, replacing it with “I will find a way!”.
You must stop exchanging time for money; you are creating your business around your lifestyle. It means settling for more, setting healthy boundaries, and learning to love saying NO more often to things that don’t serve you.
You’ll need to claim your mistakes and victories equally as part of your journey.
Having a plan is inevitable, for your big vision and for the week coming. It gives you clear direction and you will complete your tasks effectively, being present, productive, and at peace. Big dreams take small steps, hard work, and self-learning to achieve!
Asking for help is necessary, not shameful. Show compassion for yourself by staying positive and passionate.
And you? Meditate, journal, exercise, and practice self-love! These small daily habits and disciplines will help you ATTRACT SUCCESS WITH CONFIDENCE!

I help BUSY WOMEN SOLOPRENEURS to run their businesses with ease, gain control and achieve financial freedom by accomplishing their goals. Running a business should not consume you, if it’s optimized in the smartest way! Life is meant to be for living after all.
I am a mom of two teens, and I’ve been married for 27 years. We live in a spectacular corner of the globe called New Zealand. I love hiking and paddle boarding and have run marathons and long distances. I'm a vegan and passionate about keeping a healthy body and mind. Despite the number shown by my age, I feel forever young at heart, in spirits, and in my body!
I am familiar with facing challenges thrown by life: from location (moving across continents) and career changes to injury (spinal surgery), but my biggest challenge was to overcome my own limitations and victim mindset in the shape of self-doubts and self-neglect. I am here to tell you that if I could turn my life around, so can you, by taking one step at a time to get unstuck from the burdens that weigh you down!
