Story time πππ
πβ¨ I was on holiday with my family on the Gold Coast. I had been there a few times, and every time, I was in love with the place.
π I was journaling like a maniac on that family holiday - doing some deep soul searching if this was a place I wanted to move to and live.
π Before this, I was living the digital nomad life traveling and working from Aus, Bali & Europe. I felt I was looking for a place to call home.
π Everything I loved and wanted was on the Gold Coast: sunshine, crystal clear ocean, hinterland forests, and that perfect mix of people, cafes, and events.
βοΈ While I was on that family holiday, I booked a return flight to the GC and gave myself a week to find a short-term rental. I found it in 24 hours lol.
ποΈ I moved in and started living my best life haha. Sunrise swims, beach runs, cafes full of interesting people.
β I was having a friendly chat with someone at a cafe and told them about how I just moved to GC. They said, βYou seem so calm about it all.β
πΏ I didnβt even realize - I WAS really calm and grounded - thanks to the tools I know help myself through life.
π‘ So from that random comment, I made a free 5-day challenge - Chaos To Calm.
π I enrolled 30 people into the challenge & taught the practices I have that I know work for bringing calm, clarity, and confidence on a daily basis.
πΌ On the backend of the challenge, I enrolled 2 x 1:1 clients & 4 x group clients. What blew me away was that this all came from a random comment from a friendly chat when I wasn't even thinking of business (or really in my head trying to βcreateβ).
π Moral of the story: When you follow your passions and stay true to yourself, opportunities naturally arise from unexpected moments.
π I'm going to be teaching more on this in my next free webinar: Service with Soul. I'll show you how to utilize your skills and natural gifts to set up a simple, compact & light online coaching business so you can make money doing what you love and help people in meaningful and impactful ways.
