On A Mission
Hi, my name is Eleanor Hope and this is my story
I am on a mission to build an online business and will share the journey on this blog.
It’s been years since I’ve looked to create an online business.
Then….
At the time, I was thinking ahead considering my pension & what that would look like when I retired.
Better late than never. I know… Ha Ha
I was in my late 50s when I began to research older people in retirement and was shocked to see how desperate a lot of people were living after having worked very hard for 40, 50, and even 60 years!
Ok, so I did panic a bit, I had worked most of my life but had not given pension benefits much thought!
(I am now retired with over 20+ years, in Community Development, Mental Health, and Wellbeing in Communities, Local government, and the NHS.)
Math and Money Skills
In retrospect, I realized that I had not given money much thought at all more than getting a job, paying bills, and spending money!!
I’d heard about people who win a big lottery ticket and then become bankrupt. So there are skills not just for making money but how to manage your finances.
This experience shows how the educational system is in tremendous need for math skills to be taught in school, specifically to prepare for the adult world and a whole host of other practicalities that are needed in today’s world and is wholly lacking in the education system!
This is an area that I will be coming back to again and again.
My Joys
There is something about adding value with integrity and joy that I’ve learned on this journey that I’ll share with you soon.
I am a trainer/educator by blood. That is, I love conversations and the sharing of ideas.
Training and Coaching
I’ve delivered training in Peer Support, and Personal Development and Well-Being training.
I’ve studied Life Coaching from several experts from Tony Robbins, Cloe Madanes, Ajit Nawalkha from Mindvalley and Christian Mickelsen.
I love music, public speaking, writing songs, and learning guitar.
Affiliate Marketing
I came into the online marketing niche accidentally, I wanted to learn to market my new coaching service and discovered affiliate marketing.
Coaching and Training Program
I have now joined an amazing coaching and training program with Affiliate Marketer, Dean Holland. I am learning and enjoying this process of creating an online business in affiliate marketing as it is the foundation for any type of online business. It is the future. Technology is here, and people want more control of their time, and their lives.
This program is not available at this time but should it become available in the future, I will post details.
Starting Something New
Starting a new project can be joyful but it can also be frustrating and stressful particularly when something does not go the way we think it should.
Still I love starting something new, it is fresh with possibility, however its in the repetition that struggle comes, when I can get bored but I am aware and
I’ll document how it’s going and the steps I take on this journey.
Choosing A Domain
Years ago, I read the book, ‘Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.’ I recently purchased the audio version to guide me through the obstacles I know I will encounter to achieve the goal of creating a successful online business.
I have learned that it is in the mind where most obstacles occur.
I have chosen the domain, feelingthefear.com for my blog on creating a successful online business.
Feelingthefear is knowing we will experience feelings of fear of failure, and/or fear of success that can demotivate and act as a barrier to achieving goals, but the only way is through the fear
I am therefore excited and terrified at the same time!!
I am FeelingtheFear and taking the first step!
Posting at least once a week will allow me to share what I learn, the highs, the lows, the good, and the not-so-good……
I am Stepping up one post at a time.
