When Will Your Life Begin?

It was only 8 or so years ago when I wondered this – When will my life begin? I was humming the tune to Tangled in my head and wondering when things would change, when I would have the dreams I longed for, when I would feel alive again, when I would love life again.
I had been bankrupt a few years before and I had been depressed since then and I wondered if I had the courage to go after everything I wanted…
Life was humdrum and I was dissatisfied.
I knew I was born for more and I just could not seem to stay on track long enough to make it happen…
I tried to be happy with the status quo but I knew this could not be IT!!!
I was trying to pretend to be just a mum but I was getting bored with it…
And I was still broke.
OH SO BROKE
And it was becoming a reality that I may have to return to full time pharmacist work within 6 weeks of my last princess being born and I DID NOT WANNA!
I wanted to home-educate my princesses…
I wanted to watch them grow up…
I wanted to be the one that saw them the most…
I did not want to send them off to childcare and then send myself off to work for 60 hours AGAIN!
I wanted that part of my life to be done.
As it was, I was already working part time at 30 hours trying to stay afloat…
I WAS DONE WITH MY LIFE BEING DETERMINED BY MONEY!
And yet, I was scared…
Scared that I just was not made to build a business…
Scared that God might hate me for wanting to be rich…
Scared that I was deluded to even think that I could somehow go from being a depressed bankrupt, frumpy mummy to being anything else….
Who was I to think that I could do the things I was starting to dream about again?
WHEN WOULD MY LIFE FUCKING BEGIN?!
I hid it all well, behind a smile…
Prayed and prayed to be happy and satisfied with my lot in life…
But I knew I was born for more.
You know you are born for more…
YOu know there is more to you than this existence that you are currently putting up with…
There are books in you…
Music, art…
A product, a service you want to provide…
You want to be the boss of you!
You want to do work that makes you come alive…
You want to be financially independent and living on purpose…
YOu want it so badly sometimes that you want to cry because it is simply not here yet…
But then, you keep putting the brakes on, don’t you?
YOu are scared of burning your bridges and being too different form the people around you…
This life you are currently living is hard won and you are not sure that you can reach the alte
ative that you dream about and so it seems safer to stay stuck than to dare to move forward more powerfully than you have to date…
I mean, you may already be in business but you know you could be playing bigger!
YOU KNOW YOU COULD!
But you hold back.
Being safe…
Trying to maintain the status quo…
When will your real life fucking begin?
The moment you decide to let go of the ledge and jump in…
Jump right in!
That is when.
I did it and life expanded, money increased, I became the boss of my own existence…
When will you do it?
When will you stop using yoru kids, partner, parents, time as an excuse to stay stuck?
When will you stop pretending to be happy with so much less?
When will you reach out and get the support you need to play bigger?
When will you do what it takes to live a financially independent life where you get to work when you want, doing what you want with who you want?
When will you stop letting money lead you by the nose and instead make a decision to live a life of purpose and calling while creating a lot of wealth?
I got done with that.
I dared to go all out.
And now I am building a community of entrepreneurs and business owners who are ready to step off the ledge and actually live a first class life of purpose – Are you one of us? Get the FREE Business growth pack at Rosemarynonnyknight.com/toolkit

Is Nice Energy Sabotaging Your Business?
I’ll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through fear (I came out of the very toxic public school system). I knew I didn’t want that in my business.
