MY STORY
Hi, I'm Michaela! I'm passionate about Travel, Photography, Dancing and seek new experiences daily! I am a kiwi living in Paradise on the Gold Coast! I have been here for over 10 years and love the active, social and laidback lifestyle.
I live an adventurous, spontaneous life and don't want to be tied to a job where you have no security or enjoyment. Ive always had a few jobs and side hustles on the go, but none of them have ever fulfilled me and still wasnt enough to support my lifestyle.
Earning and learning as I go, and having freedom means I can work online from anywhere while Im spending more time with family overseas and interstate, travel and stay as long as I feel in many destinations. I will be able to dedicate more time to my hobbies, volunteer for charities and be available for anything in life that may arise. Working for someone doesn't allow you that, and having to ask for time off is really what made me get serious.
WHAT HAS STOPPED ME FROM HAVING THIS DREAM LIFE?
Alot has stopped me from getting ahead. I could go on for days. I have had people bring me down since I was young. Naysayers, jealousy and negative comments, one was I can't be an entrepreneur over 30! Which is not true, as Colonel Sanders founded KFC at 65! I felt like no-one wanted me to be successful, but yet they would praise and support others!
Having a dead end job that I hated waking up to because it's physical and unfulfilling, left me sore and depressed. I have had to take time off because of injuries and go to part-time hours! So, that is another reason-health. If you get sick or have an accident and have no back-up, how are you going to survive?
However, not being able to see Mum during Covid before she passed was the worst experience of my life but it was also my turning point and that started my journey because I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and the rest is history.
It made me realise - I need to make changes to live the life I want, to be happy, healthy and wealthy. I have been involved in a few businesses in the past and always wanted to be on the 'right' side of the cashflow quadrant. (more about that later if you're confused). I watched seminars, looked online for months trying to decide what I could do that I would enjoy - but it's information overload and hard to trust what's out there! I also procrastinated because my problem isn't lack of ideas - it's too many! So trying to pick a niche was hard, even though Travel has always been my true passion. I also struggled with the concept of putting my face out there, find myself comparing to others, I am a perfectionist, have self-doubts and felt FOMO but I knew - however I knew I had to take ACTION if I wanted that life!
Because Im a stong-headed person, what helped me through my grief, was inspiring people on Instagram with quotes and affirmations daily. Its weird how you can feel more support from strangers, I read alot of business and self-help books, especially for the mind and I learnt mind-blowing facts that has forever changed the way I see and view life. I believe its true, that anyone can do anything, if you put your mind to it and learn to focus on the positive people and events around us - surround yourself with like-minded people that share your journey. I love writing poems too which helps me stay positive.
Here's a couple to get you thinking!
Everyone has a story, whether you believe,
you have to be strong, In order to receive.
When something bad happens, you have three choices:
Let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you! DR SEUSS
Escape the Rat Race and Build a Passive Income Online
Theres nothing worse being in a job you hate. How many do you know, that arent happy in their jobs? Are you one of them? I hear it time and time again, that they want to quit but don't know how or what to do? The common complaints people have are not enough time, stress from the daily grind and health/family problems. It doesn't have to be that way! I was like that too, not wanting to be tied to a job, not wanting to ask permission to travel, missing out on exciting opportunities !! Seeing others living on their own terms, I was like, if they can do it, why cant I!?
I am here to show you its possible to earn an income online. Its never been easier or affordable to start in this digital era we live in. Lifes too short and anything can happen, so you need to get serious, savvy and smart. A job isnt always secure and your time is traded for a wage which doesn't give you peace of mind. There is also the fact, that eventually we will have to stop working when we are older and you need to set yourself up for retirement. No one can live a comfortable life only on the penison or super.
Building a passive income, means you can be earning money in your sleep! Having a few sources of income is what you need, for peace of mind. Mindset Matters and the only person stopping you is you! I am here to support you in your journey, I believe I can help others with mental health as well, as thats just as important in your journey. So not only do I help you start an online business, I can also help you overcome any self-doubt or insecurities as I struggled with that myself, but there are alot of resources, strategies and support that helped me that will help you too. You don't need to be tech savvy or have previous experience in marketing! With the right mindset, education and support, anything is possible! I will be adding more blogs on mindset, wealth creation and travel stories as I love sharing helpful knowledge with others.
I have read you have to get out of your comfort zone in order to grow, that's how we learn and it gets easier as time goes on. I decided to discipline myself and have trained my mind to focus on the important things in life as that what matters most. Your future depends on you.!
