2. WEBINAR INVITATION FOR WOMEN: Unleashing the Power of Women's Voices Event is happening this week!

   Every month we host an inspirational Speaker's Showcase event where we feature our carefully selected Women Thrive Speakers, and this month's showcase is full of incredible & inspiring women.
   
   At the virtual event which is streamed to our Facebook and YouTube channels, our speakers have 5 minutes each to present, so you get to hear a snippet of their story, insight or experience aha moment. These women have been selected from nearly 1,000 applications this year and they are truly powerful and impactful women.
   
   Want to join our FREE virtual event this Thursday? Come and hang out with us!
   
   We are live streaming to Facebook and YouTube at 9 am BST (London time) for our AM showcase and at 2 pm EST (New York), 7 pm BST for our international audience on Thursday 25th of July.

   If you are a business owner or someone who aspires to speak on more stages and be part of a supportive and inspiring community, this event is not to be missed. The last showcase was absolutely mind-blowing and I know these ladies will do it again!

   In my recent email, I asked ladies what were their main challenges right now and I had an overwhelming response to say that consistent revenue was one of the main challenges that women are facing right now.
   
   That means it is stopping us from accessing opportunities, investing in ourselves and growing our businesses. If you feel the same pain of being on this entrepreneurial rollercoaster, keep an eye on more emails from me this week. I will be sharing my top strategies to consistent revenue and even run a few workshops to help you resolve this issue in your business.
   
   I believe that as women we have to share knowledge and empower each other and it starts with me. If the last 10 years in this online business have taught me something, then I better pay it forward and share it with others, so we can all thrive.

8. LEARNING TO RESPOND by Alma Gavan

   This week, we acknowledge that we all do our best in every moment, even when our reactions are not what we would like them to be. It explains that our reactions are often a natural, biological response to perceived threats and emphasizes the importance of having compassion for ourselves.
   
   The message encourages gradual growth in our capacity to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively. We are continuing our practice of the Soothing Heart process, a three-minute daily practice designed to calm the nervous system and help manage life better. Finally, it reminds us and reinforces the idea that every small step in this journey is meaningful.

🌈"IMAGINE CREATING INCOME ONLINE AT WILL”🌈

Welcome to another edition of "Be Intentional and Purposeful Today."

As you move through the ever-evolving digital landscape, have you ever imagined what it would be like to create income whenever you need it?

Picture the freedom of generating money on your terms, without the constraints of a traditional job or the limitations of geography.

This isn’t just a far-off dream—it’s a tangible reality that countless people are already living.

Today, we’ll explore how you can join them by harnessing the power of the digital economy.

Informative Body:

The concept of creating income online at will might sound too good to be true, but with the right approach, it’s entirely possible.

The digital economy offers a wealth of opportunities that are accessible to anyone willing to learn and take action.

1. The Power of Digital Platforms: Platforms like Etsy, Upwork, Amazon, eBay and Shopify have revolutionized the way we think about income.

Whether you’re skilled in graphic design, writing, crafting or even coding, these platforms provide a space to showcase your talents and earn money.

The key is to start with what you know and gradually expand your skills and offerings.

2. Passive Income Streams: Imagine earning money while you sleep.

Passive income streams such as affiliate marketing, e-books and online courses allow you to create once and earn repeatedly.

While creating quality content or products takes effort upfront, the long-term rewards can be substantial.

It’s about building a system that works for you, even when you’re not actively working.

3. The Gig Economy: Freelancing has become a powerful tool for income generation.

From content creation to virtual assistance, the gig economy allows you to take on projects as they come, giving you the flexibility to work as much or as little as you want.

This model is perfect for those looking to supplement their income or even replace a traditional job entirely.

4. Investing in Knowledge: The digital world is always changing.

Staying ahead means continuously learning new skills and adapting to market demands.

Online courses, webinars, newsletters like this one and digital communities are invaluable resources that can help you grow and refine your abilities.

The more you know, the more you can earn.

Call to Action:

It’s time to stop imagining and start doing.

The opportunities to create income online are vast and varied, but they require intention and action.

Take the first step today by identifying your strengths, exploring available platforms and committing to continuous learning.

New Advice and Ideas:

• Leverage AI: Artificial Intelligence can enhance your efficiency and productivity.

  Tools like AI-driven content creation, customer service bots and predictive analytics can give you a competitive edge.

• Experiment with Digital Products: Consider creating and selling digital products such as templates, guides, printables or software.

  These products can provide a steady income stream with relatively low ongoing effort.

• Engage in Community Building: Build an online community around your niche.

  By fostering a loyal audience, you can open doors to monetization through membership sites, sponsored content or exclusive content offerings.

Your financial freedom is within reach—don’t let it slip away.

Imagine the possibilities, then take action to make them a reality.

Let’s grow together in this digital journey.

Stay purposeful, stay intentional.

The time is NOW! Stay PURPOSEFUL & Remain INTENTIONAL By Taking ACTION TODAY!
