🧨This year, let your motivation guide you as you pursue new health goals, career objectives, or personal initiatives. Remember, motivation is the spark that ignites all great accomplishments.

𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

💰 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬- If you want people to do something, emphasizing rewards (ex. money) is powerful.

🪨 𝐇𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 "𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦"- Sometimes people must be at their lowest point before they make a change in their lives.

🌟 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐈𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞- Our actions shed light on our personality and preferences, for example doing an act of kindness for someone in need or showing support for those who have experienced a difficult situation.

❓ 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲- By obtaining the missing information to reduce the feeling of having a gap in their knowledge or understanding.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞- The people we surround ourselves with can help us determine and appreciate the complexity of motivation. My biggest motivation is my kids!

Our decisions in life are guided by the sources of motivation with which we resonate most. What are some of yours?

Anything is possible as long as we set our minds to it, even when things don't go as planned. The key is to stay patient and calm and keep pushing forward despite the challenges we may face. Failure is not a setback but an opportunity to learn and grow.

By staying focused on our goals and embracing the journey, we can achieve great things. Though we may encounter obstacles along the way, with perseverance and determination, we can overcome them and reach our ultimate objective. Remember, the journey toward success is just as important as the destination itself.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬, 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐚

At just 34, Melanie Perkins, an Australian-born, Malaysian, Filipino, and Sri Lankan descent, became the founder of a $3.2 billion profitable company called Canva.

Perkins has been a hard worker since high school. She had aspirations of becoming a professional figure skater and would routinely wake up at 4:30 a.m. to train. By the age of fourteen, she had already started her first business, selling handmade scarves at shops and markets throughout Perth. She credits this experience with developing her entrepreneurial drive as 'she never forgot the freedom and excitement from building a business.'

Her idea of Canva started when she was in college and was a private tutor for students learning graphic design. She noticed the difficulties students had in learning design programs such as Adobe Photoshop, where it would often take students a semester to learn the basic features of these complex design programs. Perkins thought there was a business opportunity to make the design process easier. Her idea was to make a design platform where no technical experience was required. She dropped out of university at the age of 19 to pursue her first business.

Success didn't start right away. Perkins claims that she was rejected by over 100 local investors in Perth, Australia.

Unfortunately, the tech industry is still considered a male-dominated field. Only 2% of tech CEOs are women, including Perkins. She continued to encourage people from diverse backgrounds to pursue big dreams and concentrate on their goals.

Perkins has implemented policies at Canva that eliminate bias in the hiring process. This has resulted in Canva obtaining 41% female representation, significantly higher than the industry average of 28%.

Perkins' inspiration has instilled a belief in me to reach my dreams. Although I may not be starting a $3 billion tech company, I know that with perseverance and determination, I can achieve anything I set my mind to.

😞 When I was at my lowest point in life, I discovered an inner strength I never knew I had. While my loved ones offered their support & advice, I knew that the power 💪to overcome my struggles lay within me. Today, I’m grateful for the challenges I faced, as they helped me discover my own resilience and ability to overcome obstacles. 🥰

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟕 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐎𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬:

1️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞- When you ❤️ & take care of yourself, you set an example for others to do the same.

2️⃣ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞- Stay firm and never let others bring you down. Refuse to give in to those who aim to hurt you. Remember, even when you feel shattered, you can always pick up the pieces and rebuild something even stronger.

3️⃣ 𝐅𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐖𝐇𝐘𝐬- 👭 When I'm on the verge of giving up, I remind myself of my reasons for persevering. My children rely on me to be resilient, and I want to set an example for them. I don't want them to experience the same hardships that I did.

4️⃣ 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐏 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭- It's ok to take a break, but the important thing is to keep pushing forward with renewed energy and determination. 🧘‍♀️

5️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐲𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 🚫- I distance myself from those who are negative and don't believe in me. 🧏‍♀️ They may not know the whole story, and that's okay. No need to explain myself, because time will reveal itself. Let them be curious!

6️⃣ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 & 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 💵- Before I started my business, I was in so much debt. My mentor told me, "If you really want to change your life, find a way to make it work.” So, I sold all my 💍👗👛. I took on more Zumba classes and whatever extra income I could make. 💰

7️⃣ 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲- ⏰ “I don’t have time!” The truth is you do, but you have to manage it well and make room for priorities. So, I stopped watching Netflix, going out, and partying. I ate lunch alone and stayed up late, utilizing all that time to train for my new business. 💻

👉 It all starts with YOU! Overcoming obstacles in life requires making changes and taking action. So, stop complaining and overthinking and start moving forward toward success. Believe in yourself and your abilities to achieve greatness! 🎯🚀🌈

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞:

🏢 I've had over 20 years of experience working in the corporate world, owning my own traditional businesses, and working in small companies from banking, cosmetics, F&B, and construction industries.. all of them faced the same common challenges:

1️⃣ Inflation & Economic Downturn- Pandemic & war affecting the global economy

2️⃣ Motivating or Keeping Employees: Turnover, hard to find qualified staff & train them

3️⃣ Accelerated Digital Transformation: AI replacement, more skills needed in technology

4️⃣ Keeping inventory: Surplus, logistics, not producing enough...

💻 I grew tired of all that because it affected me personally and my family. This is why I searched high and low for a better alternative, and I finally found it! This online business is foolproof against all the challenges above! No more stress and worries! Win-win!

💻 When I embarked on my online journey, my sole focus was to earn money and pay off my debts.

🌱 However, during this journey, I discovered that personal growth and influencing those around me had unexpected yet invaluable benefits.

💰 As I became more forgiving, my relationships with my family improved, and money started flowing from different sources in unexpected ways.

🌈 It's been just six months since I started my business, and I feel blessed to see the growth that has come my way. I'm super excited to continue on this path of self-discovery and success!

👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 I made the life-changing decision to start my digital business to prioritize my family and the things that truly matter to me.

⚽️ Thanks to the flexibility of my new business, I was able to be present as a parent coach for my daughter's football tournament. I applied the same positive mindset to the team, encouraging them to focus on having fun, supporting each other, and do their best.

💪 When my youngest daughter was upset about losing a match, I was there to provide emotional support and motivation, and she immediately improved her performance.

💻 I'm so grateful every day for the flexibility my digital business provides, allowing me to be there for all of my children's milestones, both big and small.

🥰 My children will always know that they are my top priority and that I value our time together over any work commitment.
