The Path By Pixie Rose

WHEN I FIRST LAUNCHED MY BUSINESS, I REMEMBER MY SISTER IN-LAW AT THE TIME SAYING TO ME, “THAT’S BRAVE!” AND I THOUGHT, “IS IT?!”

I

hadn’t created my own business to be brave, I had done it because I was gifted an idea. An idea that I thought could help others. I had the tools, the resources and the motivation to make it happen. I wasn’t thinking about the risks involved. I wasn’t thinking about what others might think of me. I’m sure if I had then I could have thought of many ways that my business “might fail”, and ultimately, I may not have done this. This business I am referring to is not my current business. I don’t believe that because this is not my current business, that it was a failure either. My first business did quite well actually, but I chose another path. I had my son, and I knew I no longer wanted to work for an organisation that gave my working hours (which was not suited to my new mum life). I remember asking my work place if they could be flexible with my working hours or days so that I could still breastfeed my son, and I

was given an ultimatum rather than options. I took this rejection as redirection, and I got a taste of what it was like to work for myself. In the beginning, the time that I put in didn’t equal the money that I got out of my business. But I knew the more I put in, the more I would get out, the more success I could have. I knew that I am the creator of my reality, and when I wanted the business, I received it. And when I wanted the break, I would get a lull in sales. Then, I started to feel a lack of connection, in my business set up. I had my daughter in my second year of my business. Two under two, and I had left my husband. I started to feel isolated and I wanted to feel connected again. I received a message to create a new business, very different to the current online store I had set up. A business that was intuitive, alternative, but so close to my heart. And this SCARED me!

I connected deeply to my higher self and I trusted where I was being lead. I took little Pixie Steps until suddenly it all made sense. 30
