Did you know my story of success? I have lived in Melbourne, Australia, all my life. Covid started and then 1 month later my husband was diagnosed with cancer and died 10 months later, as a family of 4 we had decided to move to Brisbane from Melbourne. Sadly, my husband did not make it.
We stayed in Melbourne a year longer, and then, because of Covid, I could not look at properties to purchase, so I entrusted a Buyers Advocate for support and bought our home online, just like a jumper, I like to joke about.
Approximately 4 years on, we are a terrific threesome; our teenage son and daughter have made friends and are doing great at school.
After settling the kids into their new school, I went back to work. Well, three jobs later, I was at a crossroads. The last job was in Psychology, and after 1 year, I decided to resign, jump off the cliff (unknown!) as they say, with no other job to go to. 2 weeks later, I started Proactive Transformation, at 53 years young, and the first business I have ever owned.
Since moving to Brisbane, my life has completely changed. I had said to myself in Melbourne before moving, "You have a real opportunity here!" And here it is.
Proactive Transformation was born in August 2024, and I am in love, the real me, with authentic and tremendous compassion to serve my second family of clients and the public. I have studied Personal Development for 30 decades, and finally I am teaching it to others through Coaching/Mentoring/Public Speaking, and soon to be an Author and Podcaster.
The fear when I started was immense, but my WHY was indescribable. Sick and tired of people complaining, whinging, and unhappy with their lives. SO I teach you how to find you again, remember who you are, and be Proactive with your life. Nearly one year on, with intense learning about myself through going within again in life, facing fears and the unknown, I am now aligned with my higher being. This last month, the opportunities and possibilities have been flooding in. You will be amazed at what is on the other side of fear and the unknown.
What people say, opinions, social media, the TV News, and your mind will always keep you stuck, safe, and unwilling to take risks. Do not listen, only listen to your heart, it knows the way. If you have problems or can't reach that goal, have a look in the mirror. The problem and solution are there.
