Are you passionate about personal growth and constantly looking for ways to reinvent yourself? Building your own coaching business can be the ultimate journey of personal transformation.

The process of deciding who you want to help, what your process will be, and how you show up helps you evolve into the best version of yourself. This stage of life (after 50) is perfect for diving deep into personal development, while simultaneously helping others grow (via a coaching business).

I regularly visualize "Me 2.0" and the limitless potential of who I can become. It’s inspiring and motivates me every single day.

Curious about starting a coaching business? Let’s chat about your "Me 2.0" vision. [Read more here: https://theelevatedmind.com/9-reasons-why-now-is-the-best-time-for-women-over-50-to-start-a-business]

Does the idea of financial insecurity keep you up at night? For many women over 50, traditional retirement isn't a possibility. But there's a powerful solution: entrepreneurship.

Starting your own business provides a way to create a steady income stream. You have the power to grow your financial stability at your own pace. Plus, it brings peace of mind knowing you're in control of your economic future.

Starting a business now means taking charge of your financial future.

It’s not for everyone, but if you want to do something meaningful where you can contribute to the world and share your gifts (super fulfilling), consider it.

And the best thing I’ve found to amplify your success.Many women over 50 are at a crossroads. They feel unfulfilled in their current roles and want a deeper purpose.We've had decades of life experience and tons of knowledge. But, society often misrepresents the power we have at this stage in life ...

I don’t know about you, but when I turned 50, it felt like I was hit with a "dark magic" spell that wiped out my confidence and distorted how I saw my own potential. Society has a way of making us believe that the clock ticks faster post-50 and every tick is a reminder of being past our ‘prime’..

But here's an alternative perspective: instead of being smothered by inaccurate or unhelpful definitions of success, how about we rewrite the narrative? Getting older is not a setback but a launch pad.

What if I told you that turning 50 is actually your "Convergence Point", where life experience, insight and breathing room come together to create a rich canvas for success?

Think of people like Julia Child, who wrote her first cookbook at 49, or Harland Sanders, who franchised KFC at 65. They beautifully defied the age barrier and created legendary success.

I invite you, yes YOU, to break free from societal preconceptions and your own internalized age discrimination. Click the link below to read more on how you can redefine age and success.

How to toss all the myths of aging aside, so you can tap into unique ‘over 50 only’ success elements.I swear I unknowingly walked through a dark magic portal about four years ago.It happened when I turned 50. I say dark magic because one minute I was fine and the next, a negative, defeated state...

Has getting older opened the door to a defeatist mindset? Do you feel societal pressures telling you that you're past your prime or that you should have made it by now? Let me shed light on a truth we often forget - age has nothing to do with success.

If you’re over 50, congrats. Every year you've lived adds to your wisdom, resilience, and experience. Remember, the challenges and triumphs you've walked through make you who you are. This vast treasure of life experiences is not a liability; it's a potent asset!

Take a moment and consider this - Your wisdom can provide insights that youth can't fathom. Your resilience has trained you to get up, no matter how hard life knocks you down. And your experience? It’s a well of lessons that can turn obstacles into stepping stones.

Getting older is a process of getting all your ducks in a row, to succeed more efficiently, and turn your more meaningful dreams into reality.

One of the main reasons we struggle with manifesting our dreams is limiting beliefs. They create a wall of self-doubt that makes us feel incapable.

But the magic happens when we replace those limiting beliefs with empowering ones. When we believe in our potential and align our lives with our true purpose, we unleash our power to attract abundance and success, both personally and professionally.

Your doubts are not your reality. Always remember that.

And let me tell you, it doesn't matter what life has handed you or how old you are (I've always been a later bloomer, lol) because you can only be ready for this when there's nothing else but THIS to do... now.

We have the Universe within us and all of that creative power. When you close your eyes at night and dream… you’re creating that dream, that reality. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 - 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵?

It’s important to take the time to discover if any of your dreams aren’t truly yours, rather they're influenced by society, by family, or by what we think we should want.

This month, in the Advanced Manifesting membership, we’re going deeper into this introspective journey with May's new Advanced Manifesting Technique: The Awaken Protocol. This, along with the Awaken meditation and the manifesting script, are designed to guide you closer to your heart’s true callings.

This isn't just about achieving what you desire - it’s about realizing what you truly desire, which often begins with recognizing and letting go of what you don’t.

I invite you to join us in Advanced Manifesting, where each month, we bring you new tools and techniques to turn your inward reflections into outward achievements. It's about awakening, doing the internal work to clear away the internal clutter, and dust off your manifestation machine (YOU).

Together, let’s awaken to our innermost desires and manifest a life that resonates with the truth of who we are. It’s your journey, your awakening, and I'm just here to remind you that you have the power to manifest it all.

Are we truly self-aware? It's such a crucial building block for personal growth, yet too many of us overlook it. We're all on this journey of manifesting our dreams, but how many of us actually stop to explore our inner selves?

Imagine the immense freedom and clarity gained when you truly know yourself. Self-awareness allows you to move from simply existing to truly living. You start taking control of your life and creating the path you desire. It may sound overwhelming, but it’s so very possible.

Much love,
Michelle

Clarity is a big deal in manifesting. And I don’t know about you, but so much of my life was spent not knowing what I wanted.

I was led by the crisis of the moment and what I felt was ‘needed’ in order to avoid something uncomfortable.

Increase your manifesting power by gaining clarity. Shut out all other noise and dig deep to identify what YOU want.

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. “Managing ourselves” however, is more prevalent. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦.

Pffft....

This was me in my 20’s, 30’s and even 40’s. If I just worked harder at raising kids, handling the house (that NEVER happened), and my work away from home, I could do it all.

𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘦𝘯𝘥?

Then I started a business on the side. Geez. Where was there time? Didn’t matter, just work harder. 𝘗𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘱𝘶𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧, 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘪𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵.

Then I hit 50. And my brain changed (it does at different points in your life) and now I want a deeper level of productivity that requires me to actually slow down.

I want something more meaningful. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴.

Spaciousness is my oxygen. And when I don’t have it, I feel it.

At over 50, I have come to realize that to grow the business and life I dream of, I already have the life experience and wisdom, now it’s just a matter of managing my mind. It’s a matter of handling the fear, doubt, and worry that inevitably comes up. And oh, getting out of my own way too.

And I must have the space, support, and safe-ness to go at MY pace. Whatever that is. Some days it’s head-spinning. And some days it’s just making a simple to-do list.

Success after 50 is different. Matter of fact, there’s data to support that the ideal age for a startup is 45. Other research suggests that a 60-year-old who starts a new business is three times more likely to succeed than a 30-year-old.

𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵?

If you’re in this stage of life, welcome to the BEST time to succeed. At this age, you have the wisdom to not follow the crowd when it’s the smart thing to do and to methodically follow what has worked when it is the best thing for you.

𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

✦ Going at whatever speed you choose
✦ Leaving room for meaningful experiences
✦ Lots of spaciousness
✦ Deep thinking for best possible solutions and creations
✦ Turning everyday things into spiritual experiences
✦ Managing your mind, so it doesn’t get in the way of what you want to manifest
✦ Managing your mind, so you tap into the version of you that 20 year old you didn’t have time for
✦ Trusting yourself
✦ And yes, making money… 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀.

I mean really digging in and helping other people (like you) build the life and business they desire no matter your age, stage, or starting point.

If you’re new to business-building, you can ask all the questions you want. If you've been at it a while and need a safe space, you can go at your own pace. And no question is stupid. You get supported where you are with mindset help, manifesting focus, and marketing feedback (If you're a part of my business mastermind, 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 & 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗹.)

The main hurdle is managing your mind, so the real you can stand front and center. Master your mind and the most incredible, beautiful things unfold for you.

It makes me think, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?!” 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘺 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘵.

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀? If you have an online business or are starting one, keep reading, this is really important.

There comes a point when you have to lean into your own wisdom and trust yourself.

No more strategies, blueprints, or best kept secrets are going to get you where you want to go in your business.

Sure, there’s plenty more you can learn (this is true for all of us), and you should always be learning, but if you’re learning without applying or implementing in your business, you may just be spinning in circles.

This is especially tough as we get older (ahem, seasoned) because most of the mainstream business-building stuff out there just doesn’t work for us.

It doesn’t work energetically

It doesn’t work time-wise (I’m not hustling anymore)

And it doesn’t work…. period.

Because you’re not leaning into your own wisdom, lifetime of knowledge, and just plain highly valuable smarts.

The support you need is not about strategies, but YOU.

YOU need to be supported, no matter your age, stage, or starting point.

The first time I experienced a Mastermind that was solely for ME, I was blown away.

I wasn’t being hurriedly taught the latest and greatest tactic to make millions.

I was personally being supported 100% to build everything I wanted

Space was held for me to build my business

Expertise was offered if I wanted it, needed a sounding board, or advice

And I could vent, say whatever I wanted, learn, apply, be held accountable to get it done, and on and on.

It made a HUGE difference in my business and for myself personally to feel SO supported.

Needless to say, when I created the Happy & Successful Business Mastermind, I decided I would do the same thing and BE the same container for those who became a part of it.

Coming together as a group of Seasoned Souls who each have immense wisdom, knowledge, and knowing is super powerful.

You can read the info sheet in my bio if you’re curious. (There’s room for a couple of people.)

Much love,

Michelle
