Or so I believed.
Growing up with dyslexia, reading was a constant struggle, and I was always placed in the 'special' group at school.
It’s surprising how deeply those experiences can shape your mindset as you grow older.
You start to limit yourself, thinking that because you couldn’t do something in school, you can’t do it now.
I remember feeling trapped, as if the life I dreamed of was always just beyond my grasp. I lacked the tools and the confidence to believe that things could change.
Fast forward to today, and life couldn’t be more different:
✨ I have a bestselling co-author book
✨ I run a thriving book club
✨ I’m leading two successful businesses
Quite the change, right?
But it wasn’t an overnight transformation—it was a process, full of hard work, commitment, and many moments of self-doubt.
To get to this point, I had to do multiple things:
→ Decide what kind of life I truly wanted to live: I had to get crystal clear on my vision, not just what others expected of me.
→ Work out what a ‘rich’ life meant to me: And I don’t just mean financially. A rich life is about fulfilment, purpose, and multiple streams of joy (something I will elaborate on soon).
→ Acknowledge and work on removing limiting beliefs: I had to challenge the stories I’d been telling myself for years. The “I’m not good enough” or “I can’t do this” narrative had to go.
→ Build my confidence and decision-making skills: I realised that confidence is a muscle—you build it by taking action, even when you’re scared.
→ Prioritise my personal development: Investing in myself wasn’t just an option; it was a necessity. From mindset work to continuous learning, I made self-growth a priority.
The truth is, transformation doesn’t happen by chance—it happens by choice.
I had to actively choose to break old patterns, get out of my comfort zone, and believe that I was capable of more.
If you feel stuck right now, know that change is possible.
You just need to decide what life you want to create—and then take that first step toward it.
Remember, it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
