Alister from Dream Big New Zealand

๐Ÿ’ก So why not back yourself ? Take a silent pause on that question.

๐Ÿ’ก So why not back yourself ? Take a silent pause on that question.

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ We all happily go into a new job not knowing how to do all or some of it & we absolutely know we will learn what to do & do it. Why then do we find it so difficult to bet on our own ability to succeed working for ourselves ? Is it conditioning ? The recent pandemic & resulting lock-downs & the flow on effect of that has taught us jobs aren't necessarily secure or what is best for us.

๐Ÿ’ I feel like it's a great thing to have the opportunity to explore what we might really love to be doing. We turn to what we enjoy & we are blessed in this day & age with the internet - making it incredibly easy to sell our creations/products/services & generate income.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป There will be many who aren't sure of what kind of business they'd like to do. Again the internet is a great solution provider for there can be found advertised a multitude of different opportunities.

๐ŸŽฅ Dream Big New Zealand partners with a very special international media company that produces heartfelt, relatable Personal Development stories in various forms; short clips, interviews, movie length features. Stories of ordinary people faced with challenges who have created extraordinary results given their circumstances, sometimes Against All Odds.

๐Ÿง  In learning about mindset from people like this we can train ourselves to think in ways that increase our ability to reach our goals & live a life way beyond what we ever thought possible.

๐ŸŽ We have Online Entrepreneurship Opportunities - get started today with the products, business tools, team support like none other & a company that backs you 100% to make change, believe in yourself & create amazing results. How lucky are we that there are ready-to-go opportunities out there already.

๐Ÿš€ Our point of difference undoubtedly is the heart of this organisation. The three co-owners have created a platform for ordinary people prepared to think differently to have an awesome life ! From the team at www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz... ๐ŸŒˆ

OPINION: Why I ditched the city girl life for a country cottage

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Otago News

Done with sky-high Wellington rent, Olivia Caldwell moved to rural Otago.

In her new location, Caldwell has privacy on her very own front porch, has sheep and deer in the paddock in front of her and a short walk up the back the farm takes her to an incredible picnic spot, overlooking Lake Wฤnaka.… View more
Done with sky-high Wellington rent, Olivia Caldwell moved to rural Otago.

In her new location, Caldwell has privacy on her very own front porch, has sheep and deer in the paddock in front of her and a short walk up the back the farm takes her to an incredible picnic spot, overlooking Lake Wฤnaka.

Her Wellington flat was shared with two blokes and scented with a mix of Ecoya candles, incense and mould. She wasn't sad to leave it behind.

"Self-aware people are more fulfilled, creative and have better relationships. They are more confident and better communicators. They think more clearly and are emotionally more stable and reliable. They are better liked and more trusted; they are less likely to lie and cheat; they are more productive, perform better at work and make better leaders.

Put simply, self-awareness is the habit of paying attention to the way you think, feel, and behave.

In other words, itโ€™s something you need to practice and develop intentionally by becoming gradually more aware of your inner world and learning to respond to the circumstances of life with awareness rather than helplessly reacting based on the past conditioning and emotionally afflictive states such as anger, fear and so on.

To do that we need to press pause and get curious about our inner workings.
