Being brave can be hard. It means putting yourself out there. Being vulnerable. Being brave enough to use your voice for things that matter to you can be one of the hardest things you do.

For me creating flow in my life & business means Im not struggling or feeling icky about it. It means I have clarity and vision for what Im actually doing. I know exactly what I need to do to get to where Im going. Everything just flows.

This doesn't mean that I'm not challenged or getting out of my comfort zone, because that is still part of being in flow. But I know exactly why Im doing that thing and although it may be a little scary, it excites me.

I want to get a little vulnerable with you and share two defining moments with my anxiety and the nudge that I needed to make a big change!

The first was in 2014 and I was at my office job and I had a few challenges at work. It was just before starting doTERRA and I was **desperate** to quit my job to be home more with the kids. I was completely burnt out and had an anxiety attack. I wasn't really sure what was happening. I actually thought it was a heart attack and I took myself into the emergency department.

Did you know that I'm EXTREMELY introverted. The type of introvert that would be more than happy alone in a cabin, faraway in the mountains. With books. And wifi. But I don't think my family would be up for that haha.

I get asked how I built my business to be a multiple six figure organisation while being so introverted and to me, its simple. My DREAMS were bigger than my FEARS. Trust me, my fears were huge. But my dreams and determination to get there were so much bigger. 

I've always had entrepreneurial tendencies. At 18 when I moved to Melbourne and started working for a nanny agency, I started working on plans about how I was going to create my own agency and by the time I started managing childcare centres, I was looking around for potential sites to start my own. But as an entrepreneur by heart, an entrepreneurial mindset is critical for those wanting to start their own business.
