In case you didn’t know, I help individuals create a second stream of income by sharing their passion for health, wealth… all from their phone or laptop!

Putting smiles on people’s faces, helping them put more money in their pocket and improving their health are some of the most rewarding aspects of my profession.

Wouldn’t you love to do that??

I believe this down into my heart and soul. There are many that wake up each day with a sour outlook on the day and then there are many who wake up with a positive outlook and are excited about what the day will bring.

I have always been one of those women who looked at the positive - yes the glass is half full. I have always believed that you must stay positive no matter how bad things are.

We have a choice each and every day - do we look at the negatives in our life or the positives. I choose the positives. We have something to be grateful for each and every day.

If you are someone who is struggling with being positive, try doing some self development such as listening to podcasts that help with living a life with a positive mind, or reading books or working with a therapist. There is so much we can do to turn those negative thoughts to positive ones.
Look deep inside and want more for yourself. You will be surprised at what you can achieve!!!

When you’re working on a dream, at some point in time a transition takes place and the transition is what you are becoming in pursuit of the dream.

Because even if you don’t get the dream, you become such a strong and powerful person it will so change your life you can look at something else and say “well I think I’ll go do this then”.

Because you’ve now developed yourself in such confidence of how to deal in the arena of life, that you can move into another area and not miss a beat.

Our minds are like a muscle. They have to be trained each day to ensure their strength and viability. With our minds the more we put positive thoughts into it the more we can realize positivity.

Every day we wake up with a choice. Should I be positive or should I look at all the bad in the world.

Studies have shown an indisputable link between having a positive outlook and health benefits like lower blood pressure, less heart disease, better weight control and healthier blood sugar levels.

Even when faced with an incurable illness, positive feelings and thoughts can greatly improve one's quality of life.

Positive thinking, or an optimistic attitude requires practice each and every day. Focus on the good in any given situation. It can have a big impact on your physical and mental health. That doesn't mean you ignore reality or make light of problems. It just means you see the good in a situation rather than the negative all the time.

Practice today looking for the good in people. Compliment them and watch their reaction. It will be a good one - I can promise you that!

GRATITUDE - What are you grateful for today?

I can think of hundreds of things to be grateful for. What are your top 3?

Mine are:

1. My health - health is one thing that will completely control the quality of your life. We all need to do better at taking care of ourselves and being our own health advocate. We need to make good choices when it comes to the food we put in our body and how often we "move" our bodies.

2. My family - relationships are equally important to your health because we all need social connection. We need to feel loved, needed and desired. My family means the world to me and I couldn't imagine my life without them. I'm sure you feel the same way. Make a point today and try to every day tell your family how much they mean to you.

3. My lifestyle - I am so grateful to be at this position in my life where I have the time freedom and financial freedom to live the life that I so desired for many years. I am grateful that I have God by my side to help me continue to make good choices and to spread love through the relationships with others. Giving to others is what brings me the most joy. I am so grateful to be able to bless others with opportunities and health.

So today, reach out to your friends, family and other loved ones and show them some LOVE!!!

Do you ever want to change everything and strike out on a new path? A path that you can define as you go and reach a new state of happiness?

You can:

Define your new goals (what do you need to change, what type of life and existence would work better for you at this stage in your life)

Develop a realistic plan to get there, with all the steps to move start forward.

Weigh the pros and cons and go with it.

Let’s take a look at Sarah who did just that. At age 52, Sarah was burned out from her career – for years it continued to run her life, and was impacting her health, happiness and family. After 25 years devotion to her job, she was fearful she was being targeted for layoff.

Sarah decided to take control of her destiny. She was tired of answering to a boss and feeling unappreciated.
It was time for a change.
She wanted flexibility to choose her own hours, work when she wanted to, be able to run errands in the afternoon and not always after hours.
The key here is that she wanted flexibility.

Mindset – that is what changed in Sarah.
She struggled with how she was going to make it on her own.
How would she make ends meet?
What sacrifices could she make short term so she could live her dream?
Would she be able to start the small business as a side gig?
She knew that throughout her life that when she put her mind to something and gave it her all, stay focused and committed that she could achieve it.

Here are some of things that Sarah did to ensure her success:

1. Start with yourself
Changing her mindset was the first step. She knew she was successful in the past because she had belief in herself and knew that whatever she put her mind to she succeeded in.
She made some tough decisions. Gave up some friendships that were toxic and surrounded herself with positive people who believed in her.
She was positive about the sacrifices she had to make because she knew that in the end the reward was going to be huge. Every day she pushed through and overcame those hurdles.
And the best thing was, it was her choice to leave the corporate rat race and not the company’s choice.

2. Don’t be a commitment-phobe
Sarah had a passion for health! She was committed to taking care of herself and her family.
Because of this she shared her passion with everyone. She also helped everyone by offering solutions for them.
She educated herself, attended seminars, purchased training courses, and made all the right choices for her success.
She immersed herself into her love for people and health.
She never once thought, “oh am I going to make it?” She was strong in her belief in herself. These are strengths you need to be successful.

3. Don’t rush it — no emotional decisions
Sarah didn’t rush her decision to step away.
Luckily, she wasn’t forced into it.
She took the time and prepared for the transition. No emotion – just planned it.
She started her business as a side gig. Quickly she realized that this was the direction she wanted to take and left the corporate rat race.

4. Surround yourself with positive vibes
Sarah was strong in her beliefs and knew she would need a lot of support.
So what she did was she surrounded herself with positive friends, family and business colleagues. There were toxic relationships that she knew she needed to step away from.
Was is tough? You bet! But she knew in her heart that those needed to end.
She surrounded herself with good quality people who motivated and inspired her.

5. Set realistic money expectations
The difference between failure and success is all about expectations.
Sarah made herself a budget and set income goals that she felt she could realistically make in 3-month increments.
She also planned for the upfront investment and calculated out how long it would take her to recoup her investment.
Most importantly she figured what the bottom-line income she needed to live on and what expenses she could cut out of her budget.

Today I heard on the news that inflation is costing the average U.S. household an additional $296 per month. Also consumer prices rose 7.9% in February compared to a year ago. And they're now saying that it's going to get worse before it gets better!

Which makes me start to think about how families need a side hustle. Most Americans are struggling to figure out where their monies are spent each month. With the gas price increase it is hard to decide whether you spend it at the pump or at the grocery store.

I am a big believer in multiple streams of income. It is wise to have multiple sources so that if one of those sources go away you have a safety net to fall back on.

I stepped away from corporate America to pursue my dream of entrepreneurship. Was it hard - you bet! Was it worth it - ABSOLUTELY!

I love it so much that I created a "5 Step Guide to Entrepreneurship". If you would like to learn more, go to https://www.dottivaivoda.com and get my free guide. I love helping women pursue their dreams.

I was getting ready for work one morning. Heading to a job I no longer liked, much less loved.

I asked myself…Dotti, when was the last time you learned something new?

I realized it had been at least a decade!

My commission checks were getting smaller each quarter......cut backs were happening in the company and the rest you can only imagine.

I HATED the thought of looking for a job again.

I decided it was time to learn something new.

When I decided to “hire myself” I had no idea how much I had missed learning.

The things I was learning were not taught in school or my many seminars I had taken through my decades as a corporate exec.

I was learning to dream again. When was the last time you dreamed? When you were a child? Many people answer yes to that question.

One of my first mentors, Mr. Dave Schunk, a Vice President at my company, said to me, "Dotti, you need to:

THINK BIGGER!

ACT BIGGER!

And that I inevitably would BECOME BIGGER!

How about you? When was the last time you learned something new?

Are you ready for ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

Sometimes earning a high income comes with costs. These costs might be to your health, your happiness, and your well-being.

I used to believe that these costs were inevitable. However, I learned the hard way that these costs are not worth paying, nor are they necessary, to make a good, steady income.

My last job before leaving corporate America was for a Fortune 500 company. After 2-1/2 years I was cooked! Never felt a sense of accomplishment and never felt that the work I did was really what I wanted to be doing.

You may be feeling this and it is completely normal. Maybe you need to walk away. Or maybe you need to run away as fast as your legs can carry you.

If you take anything away from this post, I hope it’s this: If you are experiencing any of these things, listen to yourself. You don’t have to push through, try too hard to change it, or try to change your negative emotions. Maybe the emotions are telling you it’s time to get out.
