No Choice, But An Opportunity

By Monica Alfing

What changed?? We got an opportunity!!

And a little backstory here, our mindset was always on expansion and growth, back home I always worked for myself and owned 2 businesses and set up 4. Me and my husband since moving down to Australia were always in the mindset; “How can we make this even better, how can we grow ourselves even more..?” But because of our visa’s we couldn’t do a lot, we were sort of stuck, and needed to wait to live, sort of say, for me that was prison, cause I am a born entrepreneur, a social butterfly and always doing and creating my own thing... You put a butterfly in a box and no air of space to fly, she dies… And that’s how I felt, my sparkle, my light was gone, I never have felt anything like it in my life..! So when Covid hit, and we lost a lot, yes… BUT, and this is a big one… we also gained, and we gained a much, much bigger thing then we lost.. and that was freedom!!

Freedom to do whatever we wanted to do!!! And so we did.. With the money we saved throughout the years we both started an education, we both started a study, yes, with no income and little money for food, but we knew this was the bigger picture, invest now, and your return will be bigger… So in less than 3 months (still in our studies), we both had our website up and running, started our business, and had our first clients.. My husband was a videographer and expanded his side hustle (back then) as a property manager to a much larger skilled business.

For me, I could finally do and grow into my purpose I so longed for all these years.. The business that I had on the side, the passion I always worked on, on the side, and I can now proudly say that this is full time business!

And with that she will inspire and teach her children, as a woman is a creator and carrier of life she will continue to spread her knowledge and with that a better world is ahead for the future of our Children and Mother Earth”
