My beautiful client Elin started her 18 year journey in self-employment back in 2002 when she was made redundant and actually pregnant with her 1st child!

She felt extremely creative whilst pregnant and started doing graphic designs on t-shirts. People then started complimenting the t-shirt designs, which was her first business: "Funky Mama".

She then went through a divorce part way through this business, and as a result has built up resilience and tenacity to overcome anything that life throws at her. Elin says that whenever you get rejected, remind yourself that there are better things to come.

She also says that if you're going to become an entrepreneur, you've got to do something you're passionate about, which is why she founded Norsk Nordic Walking through her love for health and fitness.

Elin then later moved to Spain because she wanted to live in a sunny location. This is why entrepreneurship is so incredible, as it gives you the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world!

Before moving to Spain, Elin cut down all her expenses, such as subscriptions and didn't buy herself any non-essentials, as she was so committed to achieving her dream of moving to Spain. She also wanted to have the reassurance that she could support herself when she arrived in Spain.

It all started with a vision board and a 90 day plan, and then she was in Spain! Elin recommends sticking to a 90 day plan for anything in life, as with discipline and commitment, you can achieve anything you want!

Elin suggests that you have to have true clarity on what you want in order to create a vision board. DREAM BIG! Imagine if money was no object and you could have whatever you wanted, what would you put on there? Where do you want to travel to? Where do you want to live? What sort of person do you want to be?

Put your A2 vision board where you can see it every day, and look at it every morning or evening, and notice what is coming into fruition.

You shouldn't put a time limit on your vision board as you manifest what you want when you detach from the outcome, and release all expectations. Trust in the universe that it will deliver you what you want, you can even say: "I release this to the universe and trust that it will deliver it to me in divine timing". Sometimes the universe brings to you what you want in weird and mysterious ways, and also when you least expect it!

Sometimes the universe even brings you what you didn't think you wanted or needed, but what it delivered you was actually perfect for you at that time. The way the universe works is that when you become so attached to the outcome and expectations, it just gives up and leaves it to you to sort out. That's why detachment is so important. Also, the clearer you are on what you want, the more likely the universe is to deliver you what you want.

You also have to be aware of your thoughts because when you say you "don't want" something, the subconscious mind doesn't hear "don't", it just hears "want". So by saying you "don't want" something, you're actually inviting what you don't want into your life.

In terms of money mindset, Elin recommends to charge you're actually worth; rather what you think you're worth, which takes a lot of awareness.

You can really do anything you set your mind to, become the person you want to be, and live the life of your dreams! As entrepreneurs, we can literally create our own reality and also create our own career if it doesn't exist already!

Have a strong belief in yourself and never let anyone stop you for pursuing your dreams. You are good enough as you are and you deserve to live a fulfilling life.

If you've got 2 choices in life, pick the harder one as that will be what you need.

Elin's first book will be coming out this year: "I'm not here to be average. I'm here t
