This blog is my journey of winning multi-millions in the lotto.
As my contract as youth worker was not extended and I saw this as an
opportunity to change my life. I sat down and brainstormed all the possibilities of what I wanted to
have, be and do in all areas of my life. I wanted to an
opportunity to work from home, create my own hours and
make money whilst I slept. I wanted to spend time with my son, take him on
holidays and create a lot of positive and memorable moments in life. I wanted to live in
luxury, surrounded by
beautiful things. I wanted to own a mansion with different rooms for the different areas in my life with an in-ground pool which overlooked the ocean. I wanted a lifestyle where I could
do what I wanted when I wanted and money was no longer an issue. As I was heavily in
debt and needed money fast and was not afraid of work hard, I began to research opportunities on the internet. I found lots of opportunities but none suited me and what I wanted. I had wanted to own my business since I was 19 (1995) and took steps when I was 20 but when I took steps to achieve this goal my partner at the time went ballistic about my dream and I quickly returned the training package as my dream to own my business was not strong enough to stand firm in the face of opposition. I again went for my dream in 2003 and created a business called tools to life but became sidetracked by the opportunity to build up my skills in leadership, public speaking, event management, facilitating groups and designing and delivering programs to adults and young people which is all part of my business today and I love it! I decided to start my own
internet businesses in 2008 and did a NEIS course through Mission Australia as my products (e-books, workbooks, mp3’s etc) were not ready for sale, I withdrew form the course before completing the program. But, I have persisted with the products throughout my journey which you will hear some what I went through to
achieve my goals throughout the blog.
I researched the internet on everything about
money and wealth and will write about those findings later. I grabbed all the books I could find at the local library on
wealth creation I could find and read continuously making many notes and lots ideas were forming in my mind about the life I wanted for my son and I. I was up late and up early excited, motivated and inspired by the new life I was envisioning for my son and I.
I also thought why I didn’t know all this before. Why didn’t anyone tell me this before? In 2006 I researched money but only for how to budget your money and save money as that was the extent of my money knowledge and I felt angry, down and thought I have a lot to catch up on as many people seemed to know how to
create wealth out of thin air and I wanted to as well, and so I continued gathering all the information I could about wealth creation.
One day, as my son and were walking home from the shops he said why don’t you buy a
lotto ticket? Why don’t you go for the lotto? I resisted at first with all my
beliefs around
winning money and not working for it with comments like lotto is not is not the way to get rich, you gotta work hard for your money, you cannot just win the money, the odds are high, I am not gambling my money I need it and similar other thoughts. He let it go and I began to wonder about the lotto.
A competition came on channel 7’s
Deal or no Deal where a celebrity would play for a home viewer. I entered everyday, I read all the money books I could find, I visualized, I planned what I would do with the money, I listened to
Brain Tracy all day and while I slept which primed my mind to win $100,000. I rang up lots of time changing my voice, changing my stance, opening my heart, all attempting to
magnetise the winnings to me. I watched everyday and was ready for $100,000 but mid-way through the week I changed my mind! I decided to go for $200,000 with the new belief of why am I settling so low, why not go for the top of the winnings – it could be greed, foolish, self-sabotage or fear of winning, I am not sure. But, on the last day the amount was for $100,000 and I thought I am not going for it as I would be settling for $100,000 less than what I wanted. It seems very foolish now to stop when you get close to your goal. All that hard work, lack of sleep and time wasted and I change my mind.
Lesson: when you have a goal in mind, stick to it until the end, until you have what you have been working so hard on achieving.
After the deal or no deal episode I decided that
winning money was my goal, and
lotto was the vehicle I chose to be
financially independent and financially free for life, and my business will come later or I work on it at the same time.
and it is helpful to open my mind and continue on the spiritual path.
