Around 3 months ago, I made my first dollar online after years of trying different things. I failed so many times (over 7 different projects) that I ended up believing that it was not possible to make money online AND to do it in an ethical way. One of these "projects" was posting daily on YouTube Another one: I spent two months building my website to sell my high-ticket coaching offer to help women "reconnect with themselves." (I found out months later that it wasn't specific enough and it would never sell as high ticket.) Another one: built an online music school, only to realise that this is not what I truly wanted to do. And the one that finally got me my first paying clients: helping musicians land international gigs. And after all these "failures," here are some of the things that I've learned: - Alignment is incredibly important, but it doesn't replace the fact that you need a very tangible offer: what are the specific outcomes that your clients will get to once they finish working with you? - DON'T build courses/ websites/ spend too much time posting content/ try to build a paid community before you actually have worked with people one-on-one to see what works and what doesn't. - You can sell anything, as long as 1. it helps people transform to some degree 2. is packaged in the right way (sales + offer) Anyone can make money online. Anyone can get their first paying clients in an aligned way. This community is here to help you towards this goal. And I really wish that I knew these things when I started. Now let me know in the comments, have you made your first $ online or not yet?

A week ago, I was working on my previous project. At this time, 3:30 pm for me right now, I would probably have been reaching out to podcasts or potential clients or hosting discovery calls. I knew something felt so off within me, but I didn't know why. I can't believe that in just a week, I've decided to do a U-turn and to reorient myself completely, throwing away everything I had built. I had a community of over 100 engaged musicians. I had made money from coaching for the first time in my life. I had worked non-stop for 4 months, building a website, a community, and offering resources and tools. And I knew that this business could have scaled and given me the peace of mind, the certainty, and the income that I've worked so hard to get. Why do we keep choosing alignment over comfort when some people never step into discomfort to reach a small dream they have? I think it's a small percentage of people in the world who have the courage to step into who they are truly meant to be on Earth and to follow what their soul is actually whispering to them. Can you recall a time in your life where you could have chosen comfort and kept your status, money, or certain habits, but you chose differently? You chose to step into the unknown? Let me know below.

Yesterday, I recorded a video about how I decided to leave my comfort zone 9 months ago, when I quit my job. I started being an entrepreneur full-time and began this journey of self-discovery through entrepreneurship. I learned so much about myself, about my values, about what I truly care about, and most importantly, about what I don't want. Was there a time in your life where you had to sacrifice very important things (for me, it was stability, identity, comfort, certainty...) to choose purpose and alignment?
