Quick story: Many years ago, I found myself standing on an ice-cold porch far away in Eastern Europe, realizing I had officially hit rock bottom.

Every area of my life, except my health, was falling apart. I was going through a messy divorce. My baby son was living apart from me. I had dropped out of college. I was living in the worst accommodation I could imagine. My first business was failing, and a mafia man, demanding the impossible, had just threatened me with a gun. I was 21, and I thought my life was over.

I remember standing there, staring at the melting ice, considering all sorts of options. Then, out of nowhere, a whisper came to me: "This is the official rock bottom, Natalie. We've hit it. The only way is up!"

I took a deep breath and smiled, thinking, "Okay, where to from here? Who can help me? I have no money, no connections, and even my parents don’t want to hear about my troubles."

That was many years ago. Since then, I’ve found the love of my life, gotten my son back, and had two more gorgeous daughters. I now live in Australia, where the sun shines over 300 days a year. I own several successful businesses, and my lovely home has a magical tropical garden.

All of this became a reality because I believed that if I kept taking steps forward, I could reach my dreams. I believed my dreams were valid, even though I didn’t speak English or know much about business or relationships at the time.

We can learn anything we need and meet the right people - mentors, teachers, and partners. We can make our dreams come true when we keep moving forward, even if it’s two steps forward, one step back—the cha-cha way :-)

I established the Success Mindset Club so I can help others to reach their dreams in life and business.

I believe that we can use our businesses to help ourselves heal and grow. When we grow, our whole life grows with us. If this resonates with you, then you’re in the right place. Welcome home!
