Welcome to my first Blog,
Thanks for taking a moment to come with me as I journey on my online business adventure.
Its taken me a bit of time and patience to get to this point, I kicked off at the beginning of this year and life got in the way. I was looking to build online businesses to create passive income, give me some financial freedom and allow me a more balanced life.
Well it sure got balanced !!!!
Redundancy in March, after 10 years with a company I thought I would be retiring from, that sure put the cat amongst the pigeons, so to speak.
I am now working 3 days a week on a consulting gig, freeing up my other 2 days to work on my online businesses plus a bit of coaching, leaving my weekend to support my own personal activities.
So I feel quite balanced !!!!
If you got a chance to read My Story, you will have some context as to how I got to where I am today, getting underway with Dean Holland’s Affiliate System, a platform designed to support all that I believe I need right now, to get my online Affiliate marketing business up and running.
His 6 week coaching program is superb, I have to say, I did have to run thru some of the tutorials more than once, they are great though, simple to follow and I even found myself creating my website, only to delete it and start again three times. I did get consumed with what theme I wanted, what legal pages I needed etc and then realised simple should be my rule. So I stopped going down self invented rabbit holes and have pulled back and kept it simple.
My 3 big achievements so far:
- website created √
- My Story written and published √
- this first blog about to be published √
My 3 big learnings from being two weeks in:
- keep it simple and trust the process, don’t overcomplicate anything and run thru modules and tutorials again if needed.
- it’s not a competition, the only thing I need to measure is my progress from yesterday, just one step ahead is progress.
- lean into the community of like minded folk, those also travelling this journey, reach out, be vulnerable and know that what ever question you are brave enough to ask, there will be a bunch of folk out there thanking you for it and another bunch ready to provide support and advice.
Thanks for reading .. chat soon !!!

Rose, I got made redundant three times in my career and even though it’s devastating at the time it’s actually the best thing that can happen. You now have motivation and opportunity and the time to do something amazing. And from what you’ve written you are doing something amazing; you achieved some great things so far and it will only get better. I look forward to following your progress and I wish you the best. Thanks, Atif
Thanks Atif, I really appreciate your feedback, yes I feel pretty motivated to curate a life with more flexibility, less BS and plenty of time to help others.
cheers
