Sue looks into the topic of dealing with the fear of uncertainty when pursuing life goals such as leaving a nine-to-five job, starting a business, or moving to a new country. She explores the concept of embracing the journey and finding joy in the process rather than solely focusing on the outcome. Drawing on examples from personal experiences and research, Sue discusses the importance of being present, practicing mindfulness, and attaching meaning and purpose to one's actions. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Instead of fearing uncertainty about the future, focus on being present and enjoying the journey towards your goals.
• Incorporate mindfulness practices such as meditation, being present in the moment, and creating space to help cope with the stress of uncertainty.
• Attach meaning and purpose to your actions and goals to withstand challenges and find fulfilment in the process rather than just the outcome.
• Fall in love with the process of pursuing your goals, whether it's a business idea, a passion project, or a life change, for the sake of doing it and finding joy in the journey.
• Share valuable content and insights with others who may benefit from learning to cope with uncertainty and finding fulfilment in their pursuits.

BEST MOMENTS

"Over the last year or so, I have really been coming across a lot of mindset issues with new entrepreneurs, people in their nine to fives, looking to escape, people wanting to create more freedom."

"We all need to figure this out. If we don't figure that out, we're not gonna achieve anything."

"With meaning, a man can withstand any how."

"What if there's something about your business idea, about escaping the 9-5, that you just want to do for the sake of doing it, for being in the process."

I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker. 

I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career.  I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.

I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone. 

I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
