There’s no doubt that the reality as we know it sometimes feel like it’s never what we want it to be.
Growing up I felt like life was linear and that there was only one pattern to live by. The problem is I never liked it, I never resonated with it. I was constantly trying to figure it out, questioning that there has to be a better way, and today I know much better.
The point I want to make is that we are consistently being pressured to go through life following the same pattern and paradigms as many of our previous generations. We are exposed to a life that it’s about going to school, get a secure job and work in it for 35 to 45 years, slaving away to a career we hate and then retire.
And that’s what many people would call reality.
What I’m here to tell you is that our reality can be whatever we want it to be.
When I was in high school I was afraid of the real world. I didn’t know what to expect like most teenagers would but since everyone around me was telling what was the « right » thing to do I decided to follow it. I didn’t know any better and was pressured by all the insecurities about life.
So I went to post secondary, got a business degree but still didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. Again based on the pressures of the world I thought that working in a corporate company was the way to go.
Over the years I always knew I had a fire burning inside but was always held back by my insecurities. I was again afraid to make decisions that others around me wouldn’t agree with. I was making decisions so I don’t stand out. As the years went by I felt more and more depressed.
So to help myself out I started to be more engaged in my work and I started to embrace it more… but then I realized it wasn’t sustainable because I came to a point that I was doing something I wasn’t passionate about. I even got promoted throughout the years and at every promotion, I thought I would be more satisfied.
Then I came to a realization that all I was doing was chasing a bigger paycheck.
So in 2015 I made a choice that I will work on myself to get me to new heights, to find what is my passion, and to find the reality that I wanted.
I started to invest time and money in myself. I listened to motivational and personal development podcasts instead of the radio. I read books about life and business instead of boring Facebook posts. I bought personal development audio courses. I looked at TED talks, motivational and inspirational videos on YouTube instead of videos on dogs making backflips.
THEN I discovered what truly resonated with me. I discovered the world of online entrepreneurship. I saw how thousands of people are sharing their voice online, living a life full of passion and monetizing it. Changing their path of reality to one of their own making!
I went through the process of discovery and looked at the possibilities of online entrepreneurship. I started to see more and more options of how people are building successful businesses on what they love. I fell in love with the process, their lifestyle, their passion for doing what is it that they are doing. That’s when I knew I had found what is it that I want to do with my life. I am building an online business and helping others change their course of reality to one of their own!
Now I needed certain skill sets to get this going. So I started to continue to look at some options about business, marketing, YouTube channel, websites. I started to think about some ideas but then I discovered the kind of education system that would help me achieve all of it.
That’s when I discovered the Six Figure Mentors and Digital Experts Academy where I get all my education on business, marketing, and inspiration, and include a business system that provides me with all the tools to get my business live online.
