Hello my name is Vanessa! I am a 36 year old single parent
with two teenage children. I am engaged
to a wonderful man named Mark. We met
online last year and we’re very excited about planning our wedding next summer! We’ll be getting married in Hungary where Mark is originally from. Mark proposed very quickly into our
relationship. Our connection is very
strong. We are in love. If we’d had the money sooner we’d already be
married.
During the first part of 2012 I was happy and contented with
my home life. After many years of being single
I’d finally attracted genuine love into my life. Thank you friends and family
for supporting me during my single years.
You helped me to believe my desire to meet someone to love, trust and share
life experiences with would manifest.
Mark and I have a great relationship we know we have much to look
forward to. The pictures I had created
in my dream book for love and marriage are truly coming to life! My prayers are being answered.
My love energy for Mark, my children, family, friends and my customers lives in the vortex. My social
business activities are operating inside the vortex once again. So why was it that between
November 2011 and April this year. The love and energy I had for my social business disappeared
almost overnight? In terms of my
business life I was a broken woman.
My self-esteem was extremely low. My confidence in my own abilities had been
severely knocked. I began to feel totally
unmotivated. I was scared to continue to
believe in my own certainty of success and was therefore failing to take
action. Was I a hypocrite? I began to
question why had I bothered to spend hundreds of hours last year designing an
educational programme? For the last two years I've been constantly buzzing because I was working on my
life purpose. It felt great to be in an environment encouraging others to take
action in their own lives and businesses.
By the end of April I started to ask myself what is happening to me. At the start of 2011 I was
optimistic and buzzing with ideas. As a
team we were determined to create an amazing learning experience for our
delegates.
After months of planning and hard work by the end of summer 2011
I was busy and happy. Anything that
involves you working on your life purpose is going to make feel high. We were determined to deliver a second high
quality learning event for university students.
Action for
Social Enterprise 2011 was a great success in terms of its attendance, educational
content, speakers, networking opportunities and delivery. The testimonials we gathered from our participants
were amazing. By the end of day two we knew
we had improved on our first event, which had also received positive feedback.
So why did I mentally and emotionally feel like shit? Well,
mentally I was drained and financially the event had made a loss. Inside my head I was screaming “Hey this was
not the outcome we had planned for!” Basically unforeseen circumstances meant
we did not generate enough income in sales and sponsorship to cover the cost of
the event. What had I done wrong I asked
myself?
I am passionate about building a movement. I would like to be
part of the generation working to make positive changes in the world. As you
get to learn more about my story you will see the success of our educational
programme is not just about sales for me. However in business terms my attempt
to focus my time and energy on what I really wanted to do with my life had unfortunately back
fired on me personally.
As well as the design of our education programme I had
worked hard to secure contract opportunities.
The hours spent with various sub-contractors were simply not equating to
enough money to cover my business and personal costs. I am an award winning and nominated Social
Entrepreneur. However, I was not making
enough money to reward me for my efforts.
I needed to get a full time job fast!
I am now actively involved in the renewable energy
industry. I love my developing 'green'
credentials, but know there is a lot for me to learn! I needed to generate regular money to start
to heal emotionally. Financially things
are starting get back on track. My
confidence in my success is aligned to the vortex. Things
can only get better now I have found some really valuable marketing
information to help me live my life according to my life plan.
