An abundance mindset was not something that came naturally to today’s guest, Peta Kelly. In fact, not that long ago, she had to do some major re-writing of her money story. But when she did? She became a self-made millionaire... at the grand old age of 25. (Seriously!). So you can probably tell you’re in for some epic aha’s in this episode. For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/29 Peta was recently featured in Forbes Magazine and has also been named in Inc Magazine's list of Top 27 Female Entrepreneurs changing the world. Pretty epic, huh?! She is a divine soul on a mission to unleash the genius of GenY’s globally. At age 22, she ditched her PhD studies and went on the hunt for that ‘thing’ that was calling her higher. That's when she found her first business passion in network marketing and became a 7-figure-a-year earner by the age of 26. Her network marketing journey led Peta to her bigger, more global soul work and now she’s building a global enterprise, Jeaniius — a hub of nakedly brilliant people, mobilized to create epic-ness for our planet through conscious enterprise and magical collaborations. Peta teaches the new way to live, lead, earn and give, and what excites her the most is bringing her brilliant, badass generation together as one team and one family so that we can gift our planet (and our kiddies) an environment where they can truly thrive. If you have any limiting money beliefs, abundance blocks or simply want to be ‘richer’ in all areas of your life, this episode is for you! In this episode we chat about: How she became a self-made millionaire at age 25 (04:42) How she mastered her Mean Girl to retire her mum at age 26 (13:53) Her secrets to busting through fear (15:33) Why rewriting your money story is key to experiencing abundance (and how you can do it in your own life) (21:23) Why alignment is so ridiculously important in manifesting your heart’s desires (31:52) The one exercise that will change your relationship with money forever (41:23) Why being ‘nice’ to money is imperative (such a cool idea!) (42:11) How to become financially free… even if you’ve always been ‘bad’ with money, or thought it wasn’t ‘possible’ for you (48:17) The 3 powerful M’s that will rock your life (50:11) Plus so much more!   For full show notes, episode resources and quick links to the above timestamps, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/29 Hosted on Acast.
