Feeling behind ? 🙁
|
Recently I've been feeling a strong sense of not doing enough and feeling behind Everyone in the blogging game seems to have a consistent social media content plan, send multiple emails a week and be making oodles of cash till the cows come home And even when the cows come home, these great big herbivores exclaim : WOW! We are IMPRESSED with the level of efficiency and progress these bloggers are making, next time we won't bother coming home ! I feel there is something wrong with me :( Why can't I be more efficient and make more progress, like these other bloggers? Why can't I impress herbivores with my oodles of cash when they come home? Then I got hit by an epiphany this morning, which made me feel a lot better It might make you feel a lot better too, if you get caught up in the comparison game Quick one before the epiphany
There is HUGE demand for Pinterest VAs at the moment, so if you want to make a bit of extra cash and you are creative, this is the best way to monetise that skill in 30 days
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My mum walked in and switched the lights on Yes I was eating toast in the dark -_- #moodlighting… I told her I felt like I wasn't making enough progress and that I should be making WAY MORE from my blogs by now What am I doing wrong? Am I doomed to fail? She said simply : ‘Maybe you have other forms of wealth, apart from money?’ What if you and I are actually REALLY wealthy…. but we don't realise it You see, by playing the comparison game and trying to compare our lives with others We are narrowing our focus to one simple thing : money But wealth isn't just about money is it ? Because, imagine you are earning $500k a month from your blogs, but you have no family, no partner, your health is in bad shape, you are stressed, overworked, constantly anxious and you don't have time to travel or see the world … Or what if you are a millionaire named Von de Pong, but you are an arsehole that has chronic back pain, and bad breath ? O_O Are you truly wealthy ? All this time I feel guilty and worry, I am reducing my wealth, instead of enjoying it ! Instead of enjoying the wealth of good health, free time and health to go to a frigging jungle sauna with my sisters… I am taking that wealth and denying myself from spending it, by focusing only on one aspect of wealth I hope I don't sound like a tutti frutti whispery hoo haa fruit loop, but its as a simple as asking yourself:
Do they have the beautiful kids that wake you up in the morning for a cuddle? Do they have the special laughs you have with your partner /parents / siblings/friends on the weekends ? Do they have your strong legs (and eyebrows ) and a big brain ? Do they have your special ability to communicate or listen ? Can they even draw?? (er, I can’t!)) Do they have a loving partner or pet who adores you ? The list goes on You have the wealth you are supposed to have right now, whatever form that is Don't deny yourself from spending it Embrace it, enjoy it, strut around your strong eyebrows and stop beating yourself up Fill your day with gratitude and enjoy the richness and abundance in your life today, because if your other forms of wealth go tomorrow, you will suddenly wish you had it That's all from me today Have a great weekend, you wonderful bunch of wealthy folks ! Aisha xx Ps; Do you want to see pics of this jungle sauna?? It's next to a river and involves us wrapping ourselves in sarongs streaming ourselves like dumplings O_O I wasn’t sure if you all liked me including pics at the end of my emails …. Reply and let me know if you want me to continue sharing them ! My courses and E-Book:

Hi there, If you are like me when I started, trying to figure out all the 'admin' you need to do before you actually start your business might actually put you off starting entirely! Bank accounts, tax, legal compliance! O_OMost online business owners think about legal compliance the same way they think about going to the dentist. They know they should, they keep meaning to, and they assume they'll deal with it before anything goes wrong.The problem is that legal blind spots don't announce...
I recently talked about how 3 months after having a baby, I was allergic to the word 'hustle' and bros living in tree houses in Costa Rica's microdosing on magic mushrooms... You can read about it here if you missed it I realize now, I was burnt out and I lost all motivation for work (and life actually, not to sound dramatic) I would wake up, tired, and have no desire to do anything. Nothing seemed to bring me excitement anymore. It felt pretty bleak :( I started to question if I should burn...
