And why I think you should too! Turning 40 is often viewed as a milestone—a moment to reflect on accomplishments, embrace change, and, most importantly, pursue new passions. If you’ve ever thought about starting a YouTube channel but hesitated, let me encourage you: now is the perfect time to dive in! Here’s why launching a channel in your 40s (or beyond) can be not just rewarding, but transformative. If you'd like to know: Why you should start a YouTube channel if you're over 40? My reasons WHY I started my own YouTube channel at 41. 5 Reasons WHY Starting a YouTube Channel if YOU are OVER 40 is a good idea. 5 Tips On Starting Your YouTube Journey for the over 40's, over 50's, over 60's, over 70's - the older you get - the more niche you become which is the best thing for success! Then read on... Why Start a YouTube Channel After 40? Being over 40 is not that old! That's something that someone over 40 would say, I know. BUT, it's true. When I was a kid, I had a young Mum, who had me at 16 and so there was only ever 16 years between us. We were very close with little other support system of male role model involved. It was always us against the world. When I was 13 at high school she was only 29 (she was what's known now as a milf, although that word didn't exist back then!) All my friends parents were in their 50's and 60's and seemed so old. When I turned 21 she was only 37! Like a Sister. When I turned 30, she was only 46. You get my point. So I'd always viewed my Mum as being young, no matter what age she got to. And I could see that with her age came so much knowledge. So much pain experienced by her, but so much learned and overcome. I grew up seeing age as a quality. And after a bad start in life, that things get better with age. Then when I started to get 'older' I started feeling as though I had nothing good about myself to say. That I was boring and that no one would want to see me on video. And this is where I was at just before starting my YouTube channel on 16th September 2024. But the truth is, when you get over 40 you KNOW STUFF. You have usually experienced a lot of stuff and have YOUR perspective on it. You are that niche subject / business idea that you've been looking for . And the over 40's are massively under-represented on there. There are millions of people in the world, looking for someone like you / me (even if you feel pretty useless right now... like myself). I saw this channel at the beginning of September: Silver and Solo and everything just clicked for me. I see Jen's merits, I see what she knows, I see how useful she is, I see how knowledgable she is. I see her perspective. Even though she felt exactly the same as I'm feeling at the beginning of my journey. And she makes me want to ask her stuff, just to get her viewpoint / what she thinks about something. I don't have any role models or any family. Some info: Jen is a 50 something woman that talks about over 50 stuff:  retirement, dealing with growing older and (hopefully) wiser and trying to knock off bucket-list items along the way. Topics that are not relevant to me right now, as we're in total different stages in life - but something just clicked. This September, I stopped putting off starting the Channel and set an ambitious goal to just bloody start 'the thing'. I'd been letting myself down by not starting. And I'm not really like that. I'm a do-er and a go-getter, and I ALWAYS reach my goals - so why was I letting this negative self doubt stop me from doing this? A bout of SELF LOVE is recommended for myself here I think. Not only START, but get my YouTube channel MONETIZED - see my progress videos here (I'd actually started the channel back in 2020 when my body crashed to a stop - I had a breakdown, lost all our money in crypto and turned to ask God/The Universe WTF I should do. I prayed to God, a creator, The Universe (I'm not religious but what happened was a net level experience - and I got some answers - which changed EVERYTHING for us) more on this another time. We decided that we wanted to completely change our lives but we were stuck, had no money and no possibility of doing it. I initially set the channel up to cement our goals. My thinking was that if I have the account then I'm putting my future self out there so I could start manifesting the life I wanted. I'd done a lot in the past with manifesting, but had lost the ability (it always went away when depression creeped back in or my magical self was buried underneath a lot of shit as it had become). As someone that KNOWS thoughts become things. I started physically implementing some action points so I could then start working on my non-physical self (the most important stuff when it comes to manifesting). I was so lost back then, that I had to start with the physical stuff. And that's what that YouTube channel was. Working at thinking I'd already achieved the goal and was already YouTubing about my Bali life and achieving my dreams. Then I planned to record my journey and progress to reaching our goal and moving to Bali . But the YouTube channel just sat there, unused, and I never actually started it because it all felt too impossible and that no one would want to listen to a 40 year old casing her dreams. I manifested the dream life anyway, energy and frequency is like that! But I so wished I'd started back then to have something to look back on other than our memories of the time. So, if I have any success with the YouTube Channel and become Mrs Beast! Then I have Jen to thank for that. Some of the Reasons WHY Starting a YouTube Channel if YOU are OVER 40: 1. Unique Perspective With age comes experience, and your unique life journey offers insights that younger creators might not have. Whether it’s parenting wisdom, career transitions, or navigating relationships, your stories can resonate with a diverse audience. When you get over 40 you KNOW STUFF. You have usually experienced a lot of stuff and have YOUR perspective on it. You are that niche subject / business idea that you've been looking for . And the over 40's are massively under-represented on there. There are millions of people in the world, looking for someone like you / me to connect to and relate to (even if you feel pretty useless right now... like myself). 2. Community Building YouTube is not just about content creation; it’s about connection. The world is so divided right now. People are living in fear and disconnect. Sharing your passions, your energy and perspective can help you build a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate your perspective. Your people are out there! I had to move all the way to Bali to realise this. That voice of pure light and love, that held me when I was at my lowest ebb, during my first Reiki session had held me by my shoulders and said: "The answers are within you. Look within. It is you. You are it". Many viewers are looking for authenticity, and who better to provide that than someone who has lived through a variety of life experiences? 3. Learning and Growth Starting a YouTube channel is a fantastic opportunity for personal growth. You’ll learn new skills—like video editing, storytelling, and social media marketing—that can enhance your professional life and keep your mind engaged. 4. Flexible Creativity YouTube allows you to explore your creativity at your own pace. Whether you’re into cooking, DIY projects, travel, or even book reviews, there’s a niche for everyone. This platform is perfect for expressing your passions and hobbies. 5. Potential for Income While it shouldn’t be your primary motivation, there’s also the potential to monetize your channel. Many creators over 40 have turned their channels into viable businesses, leveraging their experience to create valuable content. Inspiring Examples of Successful Women Over 40 on YouTube Let’s look at some incredible women who’ve embraced YouTube after 40 and found success: 1. Nisha Vora (Rainbow Plant Life) At over 40, Nisha transitioned from a corporate career to become a full-time vegan food creator. Her channel features vibrant recipes, cooking tips, and an engaging personality that has garnered a dedicated following. 2. Lisa Eldridge A renowned makeup artist, Lisa started her YouTube channel to share beauty tips and tutorials. Now in her 40s, she has built an impressive online presence, demonstrating that expertise and passion can create an engaged community. 3. Patricia Bright Patricia began her journey with beauty and lifestyle content and has evolved her channel into a platform discussing finance, entrepreneurship, and personal development. Her authenticity and relatable content have attracted millions of subscribers. 4. Laura Vitale (Laura in the Kitchen) At 40, Laura Vitale transformed her love for cooking into a successful YouTube channel. Her warm, inviting cooking tutorials make her a favorite among home chefs, showcasing that it’s never too late to pursue your culinary passions. 5. Jennifer L. Scott (The Daily Connoisseur) Jennifer, who focuses on elegance and simplicity in everyday life, started her channel in her 40s. She shares lifestyle tips, wardrobe advice, and how to cultivate a chic lifestyle, proving that age is just a number when it comes to style. Tips for Starting Your YouTube Journey If you’re inspired to start your own channel, here are a few tips: Find Your Niche : What are you passionate about? Consider what you can offer that others might not. Be Authentic : Your authenticity will resonate with viewers. Don’t be afraid to share your genuine self.

Stay Consistent : Regular uploads can help you grow your audience. Find a schedule that works for you. Engage with Your Audience : Respond to comments and build a community. This connection can make your channel feel like a welcoming space. Conclusion Starting a YouTube channel after 40 can be one of the most empowering decisions you make. It’s a chance to share your voice, connect with others, and dive into a world of creativity. Whether you want to inspire, educate, or entertain, there’s a place for you on this platform. So why wait?

Week 6 of my goal of getting a small YouTube Channel monetized as an over 40 year old Mom  (21st October - 27th October 2024) - My YouTube Channel Growth Review Video's  and Account Stats. Can I do it? How long will it take? Is it worth it? This week has been filled with SELF DOUBT. IMPOSTER SYNDROME. Like who would want to even watch my videos??? This over thinking has stopped me from producing videos about stuff I LOVE! Which is NOT good! There's a video about it here but read on to see how I tried my best to tackle this problem. I think it's a problem that creeps in for many small creators. Week 6 has been another week of slower but steady growth. I'm expecting this in these next few weeks. YouTube is testing me to see if I will stick at it. Week 6-9 are an endurance test that I have plans to get organised like I would when growing a business. I'll be using these slow growth weeks to really get a structure in place. It's been another week since my last growth review Week 5 (14th October - 20th October) Let's see how my new and small channel grew in week 6 and the things that I implemented to grow. I ended week 6 with 308 subscribers which was an increase of +33 subscribers. Also See Week 1  My Week 1 First growth review   (14th September - 21st September 2024) Ended week 1 with 66 Subs + 35 WTHours Week 2  My Week 2 growth review  (23rd September - 30th September 2024) Ended week 2 with 99 Subs + 114.8 WTHours Week 3  My Week 3 growth review  (1st October - 6th October 2024) Ended week 3 with 173 Subs + 329 WTHours Week 4  My Week 4 growth review  (7th October - 13th October 2024) Ended week 4 with 222 Subs + 437 WTHours Week 5   My Week 5 growth review (14th October - 20th October 2024) Ended week 5 with 271 Subs + 531 WTHours (see my phone screenshot below) NOW Week 6  My Week 6 growth review (21st October - 27th October 2024) Ended week 6 with 308 Subs + 516 WTHours Welcome to my Week 6 growth review on growing a brand new small YouTube channel from ZERO to MONETIZED Status. I earn all of our family income online, in various ways . Which allows us to be free and travel the world with our kids. The next form of online passive income that I am aiming to start earning from is YouTube . Starting a YouTube channel  is one of the many ways to make money online  (and serious amounts of money too!). And I'm completely new to it. I'm documenting my journey here to show others how I did it. I share everything that helped me, channels that I liked, strategies that I implemented. And I'm still a long way off being monetized, but I'm further than I was when I hadn't started - the key is - like with all things - to just start . I have no idea how long the journey will take, or even if oit's worth doing - as in - will I even earn enough once I do get monetized? Which I'll be sharing that too once I reach monetization goal. So how do you get monetized on YouTube.....? Want to Start Your Own Channel But Don't Know Were to Start? Grab my EBook walking you through starting a channel as a beginner from 0-1k Subs. And MONETIZATION here . Stop Self Doubt, Fear & Uncertainty in it's tracks with this EBook. How to become Monetized for a Small New YouTuber? To become monetized, means joining the YouTube Partner Program, which requires my channel to have 1000 subscribers and 4000 Watch Time Hours before becoming eligible to apply. I'm on that journey now of starting + growing my new YouTube channel to get that monetized to show others whats working for me & what's not. Just 6 weeks in - And I document that whole YouTube channel growth here on the Blog and over on YouTube see the full growth playlist here  from Week 1 to Goal Monetized! So that other Mum's, Dad's, Families can do exactly the same, no matter how shy you may feel! For extra money, luxury pocket money for nice things / holidays etc, or to take over your 9-5 income (freeing you up to live the life that you dream - our dream is in Bali, free to travel and worldschool our kids). You're dream may look very different. But it's the importance of having a dream that makes life interesting! This journey for me, is all about personal development + personal growth as well as channel growth... and finally income growth. I'm an introvert. I'm shy. And for many years I felt like I was not good enough. Doing a YouTube channel is way out of my comfort zone. I'm naturally NOT showy, flashy or fancy. But I do know things that I think can help people and that's my goal with the channel to SHARE knowledge + inspire. If I can do this YOU can do this. Check out my week six growth review video below:  - Week 6 of Growing My YouTube Channel + 37 Subs ending at 308 subscribers Analytics and Growth in Week 6: 21st October - 27th October 2024 During my 6th week on YouTube: I posted 7 shorts (hit my target 7 daily) I posted 2 niche topic videos  ( here  + here ) - please like them. I posted my 1 weekly YouTube growth review video here I share everything I learn on the YouTube section of my blog here  so you never miss a thing Overall on the week I had 3.2k views | added another 84 watch time hours to my tally | gained + 33 new subscribers (thankyou!) I end week 6 on a total of 308 subscribers | total 516 watch time hours which has gone down and I don't know how this has happened. A note from Fletch : Another week of growth. Steady and slow. The subscriber growth is slowing this week and I'm not entirely sure why. It's definitely de-motivating when this happens, but we'll just keep on going because that's the only thing we can do when the going gets tough (or we could cry, stay in bed all day and cry, which isn't really an option). I mentioned in week 5 that I was learning a lot and in all of that learning was feeling overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that had to be done for every video (pre production / post production distribution) and so to help with that I created a checklist for me to work through for every video - this ensures that everything gets ticked off the list for each video so I don't miss a thing. There's a lot to this creator malarky! And at this early stage in the game, it's easy to miss doing something that could help the vids reach more people. So if you would like a copy of my video checklist that I use? You can read more about it here to see if it's for you and download your copy for free. It's a useable PDF where you can open it in Preview or your usual PDF viewer and you can tick things off, type things in it. Or print it off and handwrite in the old way of course. This btw is a working document where I'll update it with anything that needs adding in the future weeks that you'll have lifetime access to - so keep checking back for updates. And because this checklist was sooo helpful to me in week 6, it helped me get my 2 videos uploaded toward the end of the week, where overwhelm had stopped me from getting anything done. I also created this video planner - because you guessed it - overwhelm was creeping in when I then had to plan my videos. Ha ha - this word is going to come up time and time again, but luckily with the right tools we can get past this feeling. It's just about getting organised at this stage to continue the growth. This week has been all about creating a plan and a strategy Create a Content Strategy or a Plan that's right for you - A Growth Strategy I spoke in last weeks growth review about feeling overwhelmed with the amount of stuff I had to think about in my videos pre-production, filming, editing and post production that I was going to get more serious about my business. So I created some helpful tools to plan a YouTube Video, YouTube Video Production + Distribution Checklist - Get yours Free here https://www.benothinglike.com/post/grab-your-free-youtube-video-production-distribution-checklist My YouTube Video Planner My Weekly Content Calendar just so I know what's roughly in the plan for the week ahead My Monthly Content Calendar The Growth Strategy Week 6 I created a content strategy. I've got a weekly content calendar and monthly content calendar that I'll be sharing for you guys for free to download in future weeks so stick around for that. I'll share my weekly / monthly content plan too showing how i'm planning for growth with the right mix of content types to keep people engaged and designed for growth. You'll get to see how to plan for the week and month ahead with a mx of different types of content that's specifically geared for growth. I'm only in week 6 of my journey and I'm growing in confidence. I'm also helping another lady start her YouTube Channel so more on that another day. But basically i'm 6 weeks into my journey and she's brand new - I'm helping her get to where I am - and then we'll grow together to reach monetization - those that grow together.... GROW TOGETHER! So comment below if you're at a similar point in your journey and we can grow together. And so that's week 6 in my over 40 YouTube channel. I'll be making sure every video in week 7 continues to have all the things learnt in weeks 1 - 6 to continue growing my channel because all of this is working: A pre-designed Thumbnail (designed in Canva) that is straight to the point, designed for mobile and creates curiosity. A well planned out Title (using Chat GPT and tweaking to my style) that does not repeat what the thumbnail says but adds more content to the thumbnail. A well written description with at least 3 priority hashtags but 15 can be used. I will Add the video to a playlist where possible to increase view time for relevant content. I will add subtitles to every video as this helps accessibility and people who like to watch silently. Film a 15 second snappy intro separately if my original video isn't succinct enough Follow my Production and Distribution Checklist Start planning content for the week / month ahead Week 7 I'll be covering: adding affiliate links to my videos, creating a content calendar (monthly / weekly), how to use other social media to get eyes on your videos, Pinterest Marketing for YouTube Videos. If you have been inspired to start your own YouTube channel as an over 40 mum or dad, do let me know in the comments. I love to hear it. Or maybe you've had your channel for a while and are starting it back up armed with the new knowledge to do it. Again drop me a comment. I am on your team! (especially on the videos ha ha as the YouTube Algo LOVES that!). Hopefully you've got some learning pointers from this page and my video that you can take and apply to your growth. More of the same commitment and focus from me next week, then in the blink of an eye it will be time for the weekly Growth Review for Week 7. We leave Bali for a long month in Vietnam followed by Xmas in the UK, before heading back 'home' to Bali for New Year. What a jam packed few months we've got - I hope to share much of it over on my YouTube Channel, so if you're not already, please do subscribe. And imagine... just imagine a Xmas present of YouTube Monetization.... now wouldn't that be just lovely. Well a girls got to have a dream right! And if you can think it, you can manifest it! Thanks for reading! The Reason I'm starting a YouTube Channel over 40 Full blog post here  - grab a coffee! Equipment I'm using to Start my New Small Channel - I'm not very techy but this stuff does me perfectly: I don't have the latest video equipment to start this journey.

I am using: A paid for CapCut Pro editing software  (the free version is enough, but I wanted to unlock some things to try out)   iPhone 13 to film on  : https://amzn.to/4f4kGRk   (I use to film everything on.

A mid priced Gimble that gives me smooth recordings, I can use as a tripod and whilst out and about walking ) MacBook Air to edit on and upload  : https://amzn.to/4dSvwsT  (newly bought, but I use it for work) So you can see, this is all fairly basic tech that most people will have access to. I have a big list of things that I would LOVE to buy but the goal is to show that most people can start and grow the channel to monetization stage without investing huge amounts of money and really just using what they've got.

When I started this channel, I set a goal to reach 100 subscribers in the first month. But as you can see, we smashed that goal and kept going! It’s been a whirlwind, and I want to share the strategies that made this possible. CONTENT STRATEGY Alright, tip number one: Quality Content is Key. I focused on creating videos that provide real value to my audience. Whether it’s tutorials, reviews, or vlogs, I always ask myself: 'What can I share that will help or entertain my viewers?' I also pay attention to what my viewers are responding to. Engagement is a big indicator of what content resonates with your audience. THUMBNAILS AND TITLES Next up, Thumbnails and Titles Matter. I spent time designing eye-catching thumbnails and crafting titles that draw people in. It’s the first impression—make it count! After updating my thumbnails, I noticed a significant increase in click-through rates. So don’t underestimate their power! You can update Thumbnails in YouTube studio AFTER you have already uploaded a video with a thumbnail. So give thumbnails some thought and back over them to see if there is any way you could simplify them / make them better. CONSISTENCY Tip number three: Be Consistent. I committed to a posting schedule. Whether it’s once a week or twice, sticking to a schedule helps your audience know when to expect new content. Consistency builds trust, and it keeps your audience engaged. Plus, it gives you more opportunities to attract new subscribers! ENGAGEMENT Tip number four: Engage with Your Community. I make it a point to respond to comments and connect with my viewers on social media. Building a community is crucial. When people feel seen and heard, they’re more likely to stick around and share your content! PROMOTION AND COLLABORATION And finally, tip number five: Promote and Collaborate. Promote your new video on your social media platforms even if you don't have many followers. I use Instagram and Twitter and after each video I do I add a quick post showing an image of the video and hashtag it accordingly. This will get more eyes on your video. More eyes = more views. More views potentially will get you a couple of subscribers that you wouldn't have got. Use Pinterest to promote your video too! If you haven't got Pinterest set up, it's a must! Pinterest is the 2nd biggest search engine. Don't look at it as a pretty place to store your fave pics from the web. Look at it like an amazing image library where you want your video / images coming up in peoples feeds that are interested in your kind of stuff. Every video you upload you can pin to Pinterest by clicking on the 3 dots near the video and sharing to Pinterest. I get around 300 views from Pinterest on my videos per month, and some of those will convert to actual subs. This is why I include a Pinterest tick box on my Video Checklist because Pinning is Essential for every video that you do. BTW that's a free checklist if you want it. Also you can go through all your old videos and add them to Pinterest Today by sharing. I will soon reach out to other creators in my niche for collaborations too in time once I'm a little more established. This not only helps you tap into their audience but also adds variety to your content. Don’t be afraid to network! Every collaboration can introduce your channel to new potential subscribers. So there you have it! Those are the key strategies I used to reach 333 subscribers in just 49 days. If you found these tips helpful, make sure to watch the video for more and give the video a thumbs up, and don’t forget to subscribe for more content! What strategies have you found helpful in growing your channel? Let me know in the comments below. Until next time, keep creating and stay inspired! Bye! A note from Fletch : Another week of growth. Steady and slow. I'll be making sure every video in week 8 continues to have all the things learnt in weeks 1 - 7 to continue growing my channel because all of this is working: A pre-designed Thumbnail (designed in Canva) that is straight to the point, designed for mobile and creates curiosity. A well planned out Title (using Chat GPT and tweaking to my style) that does not repeat what the thumbnail says but adds more content to the thumbnail. A well written description with at least 3 priority hashtags but 15 can be used. I will Add the video to a playlist where possible to increase view time for relevant content. I will add subtitles to every video as this helps accessibility and people who like to watch silently. Film a 15 second snappy intro separately if my original video isn't succinct enough Follow my Production and Distribution Checklist to properly share. Start planning content for the week / month ahead Week 8 I'll be covering:  adding affiliate links to my videos If you have been inspired to start your own YouTube channel as an over 40 mum or dad, do let me know in the comments. I love to hear it. Or maybe you've had your channel for a while and are starting it back up armed with the new knowledge to do it. Again drop me a comment. I am on your team! (especially on the videos ha ha as the YouTube Algo LOVES that!). Hopefully you've got some learning pointers from this page and my video that you can take and apply to your growth. More of the same commitment and focus from me next week, then in the blink of an eye it will be time for the weekly Growth Review for Week 7. We leave Bali for a long month in Vietnam followed by Xmas in the UK, before heading back 'home' to Bali for New Year. What a jam packed few months we've got - I hope to share much of it over on my YouTube Channel, so if you're not already, please do subscribe.

Thanks for reading! The Reason I'm starting a YouTube Channel over 40 Full blog post here  - grab a coffee! Equipment I'm using to Start my New Small Channel - I'm not very techy but this stuff does me perfectly: I don't have the latest video equipment to start this journey.

In the fast-paced world of today, the ability to succinctly introduce yourself or your business plays a crucial role in leaving a lasting impression. Enter the elevator pitch - a compact, persuasive summary that can be delivered in the time it takes to ride an elevator. Your 'straight to the point answer' when someone asks, "so, what do you do"? Not only that, when you get really clear on what it is you do, what problem you aim to solve and offer a clear solution as your 'product', for your people, you're setting yourself up for success with your online business. This is why 'The Elevator Pitch' is way more than just succinct summary. It means that you understand your business so much and have niched down so well, that being succinct is all there is to it. Check out our blog post Less Products: More Solutions. The 2 reasons why people buy. When you're starting your online business it's essential that you spend time Niching Down. You will make more money, more easily, by working on a niche line, rather than trying to sell everything to everyone. Working through thought provoking questions to allow you to find your passions, strengths, solutions to a problem that you can monitise. This process is called Finding Your Niche or Niching Down. If you work through this process, you really focus in on creating an online business that helps make a difference. Then you can sell this solution or solutions to your niche person that is specifically looking for a solution. Check out The Niching Down Section on this blog for all things niche - to really get your coggs whirling as to what you can do for your next profitable online business. Maybe that's a time pressed mum, an over worked dad, a teen struggling with their revision. Whomever your target, if you niche down specifically to them, to help find solutions to their problems / pains / wants and look at solutions for them. That you are passionate about, you're on to a winning formula. Let's delve into the intricacies of constructing an effective elevator pitch tailored to your niche. Understanding the Essentials of an Elevator Pitch At the core of every elevator pitch is the need to convey who you are, what you do, and why it matters, all within a short timeframe. You are in an elevator, and you have 10 seconds to explain to the person next to you what you do before you arrive at your floor. What would you say? This condensed introduction can make or break opportunities, whether you're networking at an event, meeting a potential investor, or simply introducing yourself in a professional setting. By distilling your value proposition into a concise narrative, you can captivate your audience and leave them eager to learn more. Try it now. Time yourself. Don’t think, just write it down. You have 10 seconds. "So, what do you do"? Identifying Your Niche: The Key to a Memorable Pitch To create a memorable elevator pitch, you must first identify your niche - that unique space in the market where your expertise shines and your offering stands out. Finding your niche involves understanding your strengths, passions, and the specific needs of your target audience. By pinpointing what sets you apart from competitors, you can tailor your pitch to showcase your distinct value proposition effectively. Crafting Your Elevator Pitch: A Step-by-Step Guide Grab your listener's attention with a captivating opening line that highlights your uniqueness or addresses a common pain point in your niche. Clearly state your name and your role or business to establish credibility from the outset. Concisely explain the core of your business or expertise, emphasising how it addresses a specific need or solves a particular problem. Articulate what sets you apart from others in your niche, whether it's a innovative approach, a proprietary technology, or a specialised skill set. Conclude your pitch with a compelling call to action that prompts further engagement, such as scheduling a meeting, visiting your website, or exploring your product or service. I [your name] or We [your brand's name] help X to achieve Y by Z. X = Your target clients. Y = What you help your target clients achieve. The outcome. Z = How you do it Examples of my own niche: Be Nothing Like is helping driven + ambitious small business owners to launch, grow and scale their online store through resources, tools and constant individual support that we offer. Still stuck? These proven bestselling Niching down products will help. Mastering Your Delivery Beyond the content of your elevator pitch, your delivery plays a crucial role in making a lasting impact. Practice delivering your pitch with confidence, maintaining eye contact, and adjusting your tone to match the context. Remember, authenticity and enthusiasm can be your strongest allies in captivating your audience and leaving a positive impression. Refining Your Pitch Over Time As you engage with different audiences and receive feedback, be prepared to refine and iterate on your elevator pitch. Flexibility and adaptability are key as you tailor your message to resonate with varying stakeholders and situations. Embrace constructive criticism as an opportunity for growth and enhancement, continuously honing your pitch for maximum impact. Conclusion: Elevate Your Pitch, Elevate Your Success In the competitive landscape of today, mastering the art of the elevator pitch is a valuable skill that can open doors and create opportunities. By understanding your niche, crafting a compelling narrative, and delivering with confidence, you can leave a lasting impression and pique curiosity. Embrace the challenge of distilling your essence into a powerful message, and watch as your elevator pitch propels you towards success in your niche. Remember, your elevator pitch is your gateway to making connections, securing partnerships, and attracting opportunities. With practice and persistence, you can refine your pitch to perfection, ensuring that you always make a memorable impact in every elevator ride and beyond. Most importantly for me it's a process to get you clear on YOU, YOUR UNIQUE SKILLS + EXPERIENCES to offer a SOLUTION to your potential customers. Then get so clear that you summarise it in a brief sentence. My problem when setting up my first online business was wanting to do anything and everything for all people. I actually really wanted to make a difference in what I was doing. At the time my business was handmade 'greetings cards'. And I did ok from it. But the moment I niched down, I was able to create my elevator pitch. Once you have your elevator pitch, you can concentrate on marketing to the correct group of people to answer their problems. This was when business quadrupled. Instead of offering all cards for all people. We concentrated on really high end luxurious cards for people wanting the best card in the world, something that really stands out from the rest. We were not competing with Moon pig - a card for every occasion. We were offering a niche product, for a niche problem. And our customers were specifically looking for something they couldn't find anywhere else. And I was so passionate about that business, I could talk for England, telling everybody about all the things that I did. It is not about All the things . It's about creating one solution within a niche to a problem that a person / set of people have. The solution might not even be ground breaking, it might be a very minor or inconsequential in the grand scheme of solving world peace. But the crucial thing is that it solves some small task, helps your customer meet a small goal at a time. That Greetings card company still runs today and we are known all over the world for being The Worlds Most Luxury Greetings Card company. With a clientele of Royalty, Celebrity, Heads of State etc as well as you + me wanting something super stand out for the big occasions. That's all we do over there. But we solve one problem for one set of peoples needs. Not sure where to start with starting your online business? Or have all the ideas but no idea how to get clear?

Step into your power, understand how reality works, and learn to manifest in alignment with This cosmic Universal Law: The Law of Divine Oneness. A 12 part series that has been made into a physical book on Amazon. And also a Children's Book and Workshop as part of our Worldschooling series. What if I told you there is a blueprint of how the Universe works and once you know the laws and understand them, that you possess the keys to The Universe. This is not magic (although it feels like it & many do sell it as magic and label it up in products & packages outside of yourself that you must buy if you want to tap into it). But I am here to share the truth that you need none of this stuff. And this makes me a terrible sales person and I couldn't care less about that. I have a whole portal on the blog dedicated to THE 12 LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE - go check that our here with free resources and tools to help you align your day to day with the Universal Laws. In this blog you'll discover answers to the following questions: What is the law of Divine Oneness? What the Kybalion says about The Law of Divine Oneness? Hinduism and The Law of Divine Oneness? What Buddhism says about The Law of Divine Oneness? Christian Mystecism and The Law of Divine Oneness? Christian Mystecism and The Law of Divine Oneness? New Thought & Metaphysical Teachings on Divine Oneness What A Course In Miracles says about the law Why Knowing About The Law of Divine Oneness can improve your life Practical ways to apply the law of divine oneness to our life Simply by knowing about the 12 Laws of the Universe and how these laws can help us live a better and more fulfilled life, alters our consciousness at a deeper level. Helping those on an awakening journey or even helping ready us to align with laws. Consciousness is like taking stepping stones. Once you take on knowledge, this becomes part of your conscious awareness and when you're ready new things will be revealed to you based on where you're at. It's all a journey and aligning with Universal truth's allows our consciousness to accept and expand onto further spiritual truths. But here is the foundation. The blueprint if you will. Starting with the first deep dive of the first law in my 12 part blog and YouTube series. Check out all 12 laws in my free blog post here if you're already yearning for it all, right now. So, wherever you are on your own healing or spiritual journey, knowledge is everything. You were born with this knowledge. But we forgot it. And so, if you feel pulled to lead a life with intention, to live a more meaningful and fulfilled life, want help changing to an abundant mindset then you are likely having something awaken within you and knowing about The Universal Laws is a blueprint to getting there. Not only that on a purely physical (real life level), knowing them will help you make more sense of the world around you, reshape your thinking, increase your quality of life, and bring more meaning to your existence. Not only can you have complete control of your life and the world around you by understanding the laws that govern all things - but knowing these laws you can take advantage of the hidden secrets of the universe and have anything you desire, start living the life you deserve. You'll hold a key and if you use it, the doors will fly open (The Kybalion). In simple terms once you know about the laws, you can start to utilise them to improve wealth, health, relationships, and pretty much all of life as you know it. And all it takes is knowing. And it starts right here. But this isn't actually about learning anything new and I am not a teacher. This is a remembering. And I am here to shine this light on the inner parts of you. The real you, behind the labels, the stories that you have attached to yourself, the wounds you took on as yours, the false beliefs that limit you, the negative programmes you were exposed to since birth and all of the other junk we pick up along the way, through what we eat, the media we consume, even the air we breath. The world as we know it is on a mass awakening and we are part of it. A little bit about me: I've been on a spiritual awakening journey since 2020 (all my life really when I think about it now) but it started with a huge financial loss where I felt I could not come back from it, followed by a dark night of the soul, of me praying to God/The Universe and getting an answer. Learning that we can self heal and then almost overnight healing from lifelong depression, detoxing from heavy metals, de-calcifying my pineal gland, raising my vibration and connecting to source, healing others and manifesting my dream life. This is me in a nutshell, I mean there's so much more. Phewee it's been a journey. I have always been able to see auras and had a inner knowing that I'm part of something bigger, something else. I'm connecting coherently to my higher self and guides most days now. I receive downloads and things from the sun. And I'm still on this journey but I now share it as I go, because the road can be a lonely one and I want everyone to know, that you are not alone and that we are all connected (THAT RIGHT THERE is the 1ST LAW!) And that there are more of us than you may realise if you're just at the beginning of your own spiritual awakening. So after a long way around things (because that's how I do it - I'm a slow learner) I learnt that this is my divine purpose. And I should have started sharing back in 2020 when it all started. And this is your sign to share you story too. But back then I was so far in my own mind and ego that I was a mess. And didn't really know where to begin sharing. I am not a guru. I have walked through fire and share from my own lived experience. My intention for everything that I share on my blog and here today is to ignite that spark within you. It takes just one spark. If you are already reading this that spark has already been lit. It's no accident that you arrived at this page. And this isn't a page you stumble upon if you are not ready. Everything has happened for you in your life and is happening now - for a reason, by design. And divine timing is everything. So, now that we've established who I am (hello, waves). And who you are. We are friends. And You're exactly where you are meant to be right now. So with that said, let's illuminate together, and jump into this first universal law: Law of The Universe Number 1: The Law of Divine Oneness: What is The First Law of The Universal Laws? The Law of Divine Oneness The law of Oneness deals with the interrelated nature of everything / everyone. It forms the foundation of all other laws. And was perhaps is the trickiest to grasp (for me anyway - I'm not religious or easily indoctrinated into a way of thinking. I have my own business so no boss telling me when / where / how to do things. I don't watch the news so am not easily controlled by fear and suggestion. I marvelled at space and the universe but purely from what I'd been taught about it by a system that I later learned doesn't want us to know some things but picks and chooses what it does want us to know. A societal system that focuses on materialism and separatism. And so, this law went against everything I thought I knew about the world and life - as an educated girl of science). If you can get your head around this law as a concept, the rest of the universal laws flow freely. I trained in Reiki recently too, which changed how I saw (and felt with my own hands) the powerful electromagnetic energy that is around us, that we can't see with our eyes, but is there. This definitely helped me broaden my perspective. And gave me an understanding of the connectedness of things and people. The law of Divine Oneness deals with the interrelated-ness of everything. Every human on the planet and everything is connected in the world we live in. All energy, matter, space, and time are one. It requires a shift in the way we may have been brought up in our busy, modern life, of every man for himself mentality. But it is this law that is the most important foundation to grasp that all other laws are built on. It also requires a deep dive in the relativity of time (Einstein), Quantum Physics and what matter and thus energy actually is. Everything and everyone is connected to each other on a conscious and subconscious level. Because we are all energy vibrating at frequencies. The life force of all things forms a universal mind energy or collective consciousness. And this mind energy is again vibrating at frequency. Every thought, word, or action of ours will take effect on others. To understand The Law of Divine Oneness a little bit more. Strip back the man made titles and boundaries that we were born into or those that we've given ourselves: are you male or female? Strip that back. Are you a daughter a son. A brother a sister. A wife a husband? Strip that back. What is your cultural standing, racial standing, social standing? Strip that all away from yourself. Take all of these things away from who you are and what makes you you and look at yourself as a human being at the atomic level of what really makes you you. And this is - Energy vibrating at a frequency. Our cells are made of Atoms. Atoms are made of Protons Electrons and a nucleus but 99.999999% of each and every atom is made of pure space or energy. Energy is constantly moving, vibrating at different frequencies. It is the vibrational frequency as human beings and our collective consciousness that is connected / the divine oneness. The Law of Oneness and The Kybalion The Kybalion is a foundational Hermetic text published in 1908 by the anonymous “Three Initiates” - a book that I recommend in any spiritual toolkit. It doesn't use the term “Law of Divine Oneness.” BUT the principles it teaches reflect the essence of the Law we're talking about here. The First Principle of Mentalism. The Principle of Mentalism that: “The All is Mind; The Universe is Mental.” - The Kybalion This principle teaches that everything originates in the mind of “The All”, the universal, infinite intelligence sometimes equated with God, Source, or the Divine. All things - matter, energy, thought, and spirit are connected because they originate from the same Source energy. And this aligns directly with the modern spiritual Law of Divine Oneness, which as you already know, states: “Everything in the universe is connected. What we think, say, do, or believe affects others and the universe around us.” In Hermetic terms, that connection exists because all things are expressions of the same universal mind. The Law of Divine Oneness and Hinduism (Advaita Vedanta) I don't want to go into religion with this. But all religions began somewhere. And it can help with our understanding of The Laws of The Universe that little bit deeper. In Hinduism the key idea "Aham Brahmasmi" - I am Brahman teaches non-duality: that all souls (Atman) are ultimately one with Brahman, the universal consciousness. And that our sense of separateness is Maya (illusion); we are not separate as we are taught. With the true realisation that all is one. This is central to Hinduism and what we love about being in beautiful Bali where we get to live this truth daily alongside people who act and this way of life day to day. And this is what makes Bali such a kind place to live. There is a unity of self and Source (togetherness) - which is the highest spiritual truth for Balinese Hindus, Hinduism in general and the core number 1 law of the universe. The Law of Divine Oneness and Buddhism In Buddhism (This Interbeing & Emptiness) has the Key Idea that "This is, because that is." – Thich Nhat Hanh. All things arise in interdependence; nothing exists in isolation. The idea of “no-self” (Anatta) means the individual ego is illusion - we are all part of a vast, connected field. Zen and Mahayana traditions often speak of oneness of all life. The Law of Divine Oneness and Christian Mysticism In Christian Mysticism the key Idea is: “That they may be one, as We are one.” – John 17:21 Where God is seen in all things, and union with God is the goal (e.g. theosis). Saints like St. Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart, and Thomas Merton speak of a deep unity with the Divine and all creation. The Law of Divine Oneness and Sufism (Islamic Mysticism) In Islamic Sufism (Islamic Mysticism) where the key Idea is around the quote “I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.” teaches that all creation is a reflection of the Divine. The goal is annihilation of the self (fana) to merge with Divine Unity (tawhid). And that oneness is experienced through love, surrender, and ecstatic devotion. The Law of Divine Oneness and Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) In Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) where the key Idea: “Ein Sof” - the Infinite Light - the belief that all of creation flows from and returns to Ein Sof, the Infinite Divine. The Tree of Life shows how spirit becomes matter, but remains eternally connected. Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) is rooted in the idea that everything is divine and interconnected. Indigenous and Earth-Based Traditions and Divine Oneness Key Idea: “All my relations.” - Native American wisdom Where life is seen as a web of relationships: with nature, ancestors, spirits, and the Earth. There’s no sharp line between self and world, where everything is sacred, interconnected, and alive. Harmony is achieved by recognising and respecting this oneness. New Thought & Metaphysical Teachings on Divine Oneness New Thought & Metaphysical Teachings - where the key Idea: “There is only One Mind, and we are all expressions of it.” Modern metaphysical teachings (like those from Ernest Holmes, Florence Scovel Shinn, and Neville Goddard) teach that: We are divine creators, expressions of universal mind or Source. Our thoughts influence the collective and the outer world - because all is one at the spiritual level. If you are interested I have a very deep dive study group on the teachings of Neville Goddard for Manifesting coming soon and would love to have you there.

The Law of Divine Oneness in A Course In Miracles I am currently reading A Course In Miracles. I recommend it for those on a spiritual awakening. But in truth It's difficult to read because the language is biblical. But the Law of Divine Oneness and A Course in Miracles (ACIM) are deeply aligned at their core. In fact, ACIM is one of the most direct spiritual texts that teaches Oneness - not just as an idea, but as the very foundation of reality. And you can check out my blog on ACIM here. So from all of the different teachings above, there are patterns that you may notice: where the core themes relate around: | That God/Source is in everything | There is No true separation | The self is not ultimate | That Love is the expression of oneness | And Oneness requires inner transformation And once we grasp this central truth, Knowing this can impact your life... Why? Because when you live from oneness, comparison drops and compassion rises. We're all related and so how you act to others is acting to ourselves. How much we care about others is really how much we care about ourselves (energetically anyway). Manifestation becomes less about ego and more about sacred co-creation. You no longer manifest from a place of of 'I'm doing this, or I'm creating that' OR 'I'm so great or I can't do this manifesting thing anymore'. Because once you know this and really believe it that you are not just I (separate). You are part of a divine union, a team where your power is amplified because it comes from source (unlimited) and not a place of the ego (which is limited) and this is why you might be having blocks in manifesting. Or you can sometimes do it and other time not (like myself) and I'd get frustrated at myself. When you're working within the Law of Divine Oneness there is nothing you cannot manifest. Because the Universe is ever expanding, ever growing. The Universe doesn't think 'ooh this is a big manifest request'. Or God doesn't think 'ooomph that's a big ask' because nothing is big or small to the Universe or God. It just 'is' and when you fully grasp the power that is in you, because you are ONE with everything that ever was. Then you can start to manifest in ways that you didn't know possible. Prayer and spiritual work becomes not just personal but a cosmic participation. Something you are called to do. And you cannot NOT do it. You feel compelled to help. To share what you know. Because it's within everyone. If only they remembered. You begin to feel supported - because you’re never alone. You're always supported. You always were but we just forgot. Start rehearsing this knowledge. Start reading affirmations on repeat about this first law. Until it becomes so embedded within you that you can't not know it. You can't not feel it. And you embody / align with it fully. This is when you can apply the knowledge of this law to start working with your true self in this divine union and start creating the life of your dreams. This is not magic. This is you knowing your truth. How to apply the law of divine oneness to our lives: Magical manifestations of wonderful things aside. From a purely physical perspective: Kindness. If we are connected to each other. It is easier to be kind to one another. We can be kinder and more compassionate to ourselves. We can be kinder, more compassionate to others by recognising that we are one. Start today applying the law by being kinder. And watch as kinder things come your way. This first law relates to the law of Vibration (like attracts like) and the Law of Attraction (you start attracting kinder outcomes in your life) and the law of Cause and Effect (your kindness give out an effect) and we'll cover these on other days. But it starts with this first universal truth and applying it it kinder gentle ways. Start with yourself, be kind to yourself today. Then be kind to your borther or sister in the treet tomorrow. Then watch as kindness ripples out. Like a stone in a pond. Drop a dollop of kindness into the world! With kind thoughts. With kind words. With kind actions. And watch the ripple return to you. You may start to feel warm and fuzzy inside and thats the beginning of your alchemy journey. When you start to feel things.... you know it's working.... Be Kind today. Your vibe is going thank you for that. Hint: The Law of Attraction. From a vibrational perspective: The emotion of love is one of the highest vibrational frequencies. If you feel kindness, you can feel love, you will vibrate higher. So when you practice love, kindness and compassion to yourself (Self Love) you are operating at a high vibration. This has a two pronged effect. It helps you be a kinder, more compassionate person to others from a purely physical stand point. Being this way to others, impacts their life. It makes you feel better. It's just a nicer way to live. Pay a genuine compliment to someone and change their day. Energetically you change your own too. Start small working with this law & you will start to see the oneness in small ways. More interestingly, from a subatomic level, the structure of cells in the body, vibrate highly. You'll have probably heard the saying 'high vibrations' this is exactly that - our energy is vibrating high. The electrons in each and every cell in your body and the things that you touch and impact are literally whizzing, whirling and wooshing around at a super high frequency. And this is the way you'll want to live if you want to feel happy and manifest more of the good stuff into your life. This is why practicing gratitude, and feeling that tingly ball of love/good vibes in the belly makes us vibrate highly. When you encounter negative people or situations, try not to take their negativity into your own life and thoughts. Looking at it from an energetic level only - Taking on this negative energy affects your own energy. Awareness in the present moment by focusing your attention away from them and placing it somewhere else. Meditation, yoga, energy cleansers all help clear negative energy and focus the mind on the pure present. Pure consciousness. Helping the collective one consciousness of the world. Which affects everything / everyone. The benefit for you: a nicer, happier, less stressful life. Higher spiritual growth and a feeling of connectedness.

Can You Play Solfeggio Frequencies on a Loop While Sleeping or Working? Yes, you can absolutely play Solfeggio frequencies on a loop while sleeping or working; in fact, continuous ambient listening is one of the most effective ways to experience their benefits. Because pure Solfeggio frequencies do not contain sudden beat drops, distracting melodies, or voiceovers, they function as a soothing, steady acoustic background that encourages deep cognitive focus during the day and restorative rest at night. By leaving these ancient Solfeggio tones running silently in the background, you allow your subconscious mind to absorb the vibrations without interrupting your task at hand. The Power of Continuous Background Resonance When you loop a frequency for hours at a time, you give your brainwaves a steady anchor. During work hours, a low, looping tone helps prevent your mind from wandering, acting like a conscious shield against digital distractions. During sleep, a continuous frequency helps soothe an overactive nervous system, smoothing out the transition between light and deep sleep states. Using sound as a constant background anchor is exactly how our family transformed our daily lifestyle. How Looping Tones Created Our Freedom Lifestyle We actually stumbled upon the power of Solfeggio frequencies completely by accident during our first year of nomad life. At the time, we worldschooled our two kids while traveling across South East Asia. I was taking a Sound Healing course in Bali and learning how to create custom audio tracks—like binaural beats, angel frequencies, and the 9 core Solfeggio tones—to sell as digital products for our online business. Because I was constantly building and testing these tracks, the pure frequencies were always looping in the background for hours while the kids did their homeschooling and we worked on our business. Suddenly, we noticed a massive shift. The kids were incredibly focused, calm, and productive. At first, we thought it was a coincidence. But after testing it out during our remote work and study blocks, the results were undeniable: keeping these tones on an endless loop focused our minds like nothing else. It quickly became our ultimate secret weapon for family productivity. Today, it is still the foundation of our work sessions. We will loop a specific tone like 741 Hz for deep problem-solving, or just let this full bundle of all 9 Solfeggio pure tones play seamlessly on repeat. How to Successfully Loop Frequencies Night and Day To get the most out of your long-duration listening sessions, keep these three practical tips in mind: Keep the Volume Low: Frequencies do not need to be loud to work. For sleep and work blocks, set the audio volume just above a whisper. It should feel like gentle ambient background noise, not a concert. So you barely notice it. Loud is not better. Match the Tone to Your Goal: Use specific frequencies designed for your current state. Loop 741 Hz or 528 Hz for high-energy creative focus and problem-solving during your work day. Switch to 396 Hz, 417 Hz, or 852 Hz in the evening to wind down your mind and slide into a deep sleep state. Use Seamlessly Loopable Audio Tracks: Standard streaming videos or audio files often have annoying gaps, crackles, or transition sounds when the track restarts, which can abruptly wake you up or shatter your focus. Ensure you are using audio tracks explicitly designed to repeat infinitely without interruptions. Set Your Mind on Loop You do not need to pause your life to enjoy sound therapy. By turning these ancient tones into the background soundtrack of your freedom life, you can effortlessly level up your sleep quality and daily output. If you want perfectly clean audio files designed for endless background looping, we have done the hard work for you. Our tracks contain pure tones with no distracting music, loops, or hidden gaps.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ: 8 Life-Changing Lessons on Love, Fear, and the Word of Power I shouldn’t even be here. By “here,” I mean Brighton, England – in a little seaside town that I had no plans to visit, let alone linger in. I’m meant to be in Bali , the island that feels like home, the place where my family and I are building our house and our future. But life – or, perhaps, Spirit – had other plans. The past year has been a blur of movement, uncertainty, and surrender. We sold everything we owned and stepped fully into the unknown , becoming what most would call homeless . Not in the tragic sense, but in the sense of living without a fixed address, without the anchor of possessions, without the security of the familiar. We followed nudges, signs, and whispers of intuition that led us from Bali to Thailand , then to Barcelona , and finally here to the UK. All the while, I kept telling myself: We need to get back to Bali. But deep down, I knew something greater was at play. We were being stripped of everything that tied us to our old ways – the comfort, the clutter, the illusions of control – so we could fast-track our healing and awakening. And it worked. The fear, the discomfort, the constant surrender broke something open in me. I began to see how much I had been clinging, how much I had been trying to orchestrate life instead of trusting it. Bali healed me, yes – but it was the in-between, the “homelessness,” that cracked me wide open. And that is how I found myself wandering through a secondhand bookshop in Brighton, dust clinging to the air, when a smelly, old, hardback book practically jumped off the shelf into my hands: The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ. I wasn’t looking for it. In fact, I was hoping to find a copy of Joe Dispenza’s Becoming Supernatural . But the Aquarian Gospel found me. And as I opened its pages, I felt the same stirring I felt when I first read A Course in Miracles : this isn’t just a book – this is a transmission. It speaks of Jesus not only as the historical figure we know from the Bible but as the embodiment of Love itself  – and of the Word , the sacred creative power that we all carry within. It’s rich with esoteric teachings that expand on the Gospels, yet it feels startlingly modern in its call to awaken. I want to share with you the 8 most powerful teachings  I’ve uncovered so far – teachings that feel like they were meant for this exact moment in my life (and perhaps yours too): 1. The Word is the Creative Power Within You "The Word is God’s thought made manifest. It is life, light, and love, and it dwells in every heart." This book repeatedly references The Word  – not as a single word, but as the eternal, creative vibration of God. It’s the same “Logos” that John wrote about in the Bible: “In the beginning was the Word… and the Word was God.” When Jesus tells his apostles they “know the Word,” he isn’t handing them a secret password. He’s awakening them to the truth that they are living expressions of the Divine Word . When we speak, act, and be  from that awareness – miracles happen. 2. The Kingdom of God is Within "The kingdom is not in the sky; it is not beyond the sea; it is within the heart." I can’t tell you how much this lands after a year of living with no fixed place. We think “home” is something external – a house, a location, a dream life in Bali – but the Aquarian Gospel (and ACIM) remind us that the true  home we seek is already inside us. This inner kingdom doesn’t depend on a postcode or possessions. It’s a state of consciousness that can only be cultivated by going within. 3. Love is the Fulfilment of the Law "Love is the fulfilling of the law; we can do no wrong when we are ruled by love." This one is simple but profound: when we are led by love, we can’t be out of alignment. Fear drops away. Control drops away. Our lives begin to flow in ways we could never have planned. This is what this year has taught me. Every time I acted from fear, I clung tighter, trying to force life into a shape it wasn’t ready to take. But when I softened into love, even in the uncertainty, I could feel I was on the right path – even when I didn’t understand it. 4. Healing Flows When We Surrender Jesus tells his apostles: “Go forth and heal the sick in body, mind, and soul. When you speak the Word in faith, the currents of the Holy Breath will flow.” Healing isn’t about personal power. It’s not about getting the right technique or saying the right thing. It’s about becoming a clear channel for the Holy Breath (Spirit)  to flow through us. This is the same teaching as ACIM: “I need do nothing.”  We are not the source of healing; we are the conduits. 5. We Are Sons and Daughters of God – Not Separate "All men are sons of God by birth; Jesus was the first to realize this truth in fullness, but we are all heirs of the same kingdom." This teaching dismantles the idea that Jesus was “special” and we are not. His power came from his complete remembrance of his oneness with God – and he taught that we could do the same. "These things I do, you shall do also." 6. Service is the Highest Form of Worship "Service done in love is worship unto God. He who serves the least of all serves God himself." It’s so easy to get lost in rituals or spiritual “to-do lists,” but this book reminds us that true worship is found in how we show up for each other . Every act of kindness, every extension of love, is an offering to the Divine. 7. Death Has No Power Over Spirit "There is no death. The soul is boundless, free, and eternal. The body is but a garment to be laid aside." This isn’t just comforting – it’s liberating. It calls us to live with less fear and more purpose, knowing that we are eternal. 8. The Holy Breath is Our Guide "The Holy Breath is God’s spirit moving in all life; it will teach you all truth when you are still enough to hear it." This is a call to stillness. To trust that there is a loving, guiding force that will speak to us – if we’re willing to slow down enough to listen. Manifesting With the Word: A Mini-Guide Jesus taught that those who “know the Word” will heal, create, and call miracles into being. But what does that actually mean for us, here and now? The Word  is the vibration of Divine Love – the creative thought of God. When we align with it, we move out of fear and into the frequency where all abundance already exists. Here’s how you can begin: Step 1: Center in the Word (Divine Love) Find stillness. Breathe deeply and softly chant or inwardly repeat OM . Imagine a golden light filling your body. Know that this is the vibration of God’s love and creative power. Step 2: Call in the Holy Breath (Spirit) Ask silently: “Holy Breath, align me with my highest good. Show me how to receive what is already mine.” Trust that the Holy Breath (the Spirit of God) is flowing through you, rearranging circumstances for your highest outcome. Step 3: Speak the Word of Creation Declare what you desire as if it is already true. Example: “I am so grateful that I now live in a safe, beautiful home for my family. Thank you, God, for this manifestation.” Feel it fully – as though it’s already done. Step 4: Act as if Ask: “What would I do today if this were already my reality?”  Then do those things. When fear or doubt arises, return to the Word: OM, I AM, Love. Step 5: Release and Trust Your job is not to control the “how.” Your job is to hold the vibration of love, gratitude, and certainty – and let God orchestrate the rest. 💫 Pro tip:  Listening to 528Hz or 852Hz music while doing this practice amplifies your energy and aligns you with the higher creative frequencies of Love and God-thought. Questions for Reflection Where in my life do I believe I need to “go somewhere” or “get something” to feel whole? How can I practice experiencing the kingdom of God within me today? What does “living the Word” look like in my daily life – in my thoughts, words, and actions? Where might I be trying to control outcomes instead of trusting the Holy Breath to guide me? What would shift if I began living as though my deepest desires were already fulfilled? Why This Matters Now As I write this, we’re just a week away from flying back to Bali, where we’ll be based for six months until our house is built. But I know now that the true “homecoming” isn’t about Bali. This book found me to remind me of something I might have missed if life had gone “to plan”: That the kingdom is within. I never needed 8k miles. That love is the only law worth following. That healing and miracles flow not from striving but from surrendering to the Word – that eternal vibration of God’s love that lives in us. This year of wandering and listening has been my greatest teacher. Without it, I don’t think I would have cleared as much, healed as fast, or remembered as deeply. And now, as I carry this dusty old book back 8,000 Miles across the world with me, I feel a deep gratitude for the journey. For the fear, for the discomfort, for the stripping away. Because it led me here – to this exact moment, this exact truth: We already are what we seek. If this blog and this part of my own story resonates with you then the below is for you. Your Turn I know this was a long, deep one – but I hope it landed in the exact way you needed. If you’ve ever felt “homeless” in your life – spiritually, emotionally, or physically – I want you to know: You are not lost. You are being guided. The kingdom is already within you. You are already healed. You are already whole. And the more you trust that, the more you will hear the Word whispering you back home. I am working on some beautiful guides and tools that will help guide you home. You don't need them, you are home already, BUT these tools help illuminate this truth within. It sometimes needs illuminating through being covered in so much density, and lost awareness, 3d confusion or noise. You can not make a mistake. In service I give as much as I can for free so please look out for these freebies. And many more at prices that allow everybody to go on this journey of self discovery and awareness. My hope with writing from the heart and sharing my self here is that it resonates with you and helps many souls awaken. With love, light and gratitude.

How Long Should You Listen to Solfeggio Frequencies Daily? You should listen to Solfeggio frequencies for at least 15 to 30 minutes per session daily to experience their balancing benefits, though there is absolutely no upper limit to how long you can safely play them. This is mainly why we do 20 minute sessions with our meditations, tones and sound bowl videos on YouTube. And our MP3 recordings are always offered at 1 hour. Because pure Solfeggio frequencies are natural sound waves, you can leave them playing continuously on a loop in the background while you sleep, study, or work. While a short 15-minute session is a great way to quickly reset your nervous system, the real magic happens when you integrate these ancient healing tones seamlessly into your daily environment. When it comes to answering the question of how long should you listen to solfeggio frequencies daily? - even any amount of time can be beneficial. Just 5 minutes a day in mindfulness and frequency can have effects on the flow of the day. I have a free playlist over on YouTube dedicated to 5 mins of each of the Solfeggio pure tones here that you can choose just one frequency and listen in for 5 mins of loop the playlist and run through each of the 9 frequencies. We ran a 'just 5 mins a day' challenge back in 2025 encouraging a routine of dedicating a tiny portion of the day to frequency and to note the changes. The results were really remarkable for people. So we here are big advocates of just 5 mins if you can fit nothing else in. Why Consistency with the frequencies Matters More Than 'How Long' in Time Sound healing relies on a process called brain entrainment, where your brainwaves naturally slow down and align with the frequency vibrating in the room. Just like building a muscle, consistency is key. You can start to 'feel' the benefits of a tone immediately. You'll just notice in the way you feel and the sensations in the body. But for lasting change, healing etc it's the brain entrainment that we are aiming to build. Listening to a pure tone for 20 minutes every day while you make breakfast or do your morning meditation will yield much better results than listening for three hours only once a week. Routine is really key, which is why we encourage establishing a routine early on. Until it becomes just part of 'what you do'. We found that this was where the real transformations were found. So now that you've found these tones creating a regular practice should be the next step. How We Discovered the Power of Long-Loop Frequencies We actually stumbled upon the power of Solfeggio frequencies completely by accident during our first year of nomad life. At the time, we worldschooled our two kids while traveling across South East Asia. I was taking a Sound Healing course in Bali and learning how to create custom audio tracks—like binaural beats, angel frequencies, and the 9 core Solfeggio tones—to sell as digital products for our online business. Because I was constantly building and testing these tracks, the pure frequencies were always looping in the background for hours while the kids did their homeschooling and we worked on our business. Suddenly, we noticed a massive shift. The kids were incredibly focused, calm, and productive. At first, we thought it was a coincidence. But after testing it out during our remote work and study blocks, the results were undeniable: keeping these tones on loop focused our minds like nothing else. It quickly became our ultimate secret weapon for family productivity. Today, it is still the foundation of our work sessions. We will loop a specific tone like 741 Hz for deep problem-solving, or just let a full bundle of all 9 Solfeggio pure tones play in the background for hours on end. How to Fit Solfeggio Tones into Your Day Because our audio tracks are delivered as pure tones with no distracting music or voiceovers, they are incredibly easy to blend into your existing daily routine without disrupting your focus.

All-Night Sleep Loops: Play a calming tone like 417 Hz or 852 Hz on a loop overnight to encourage deep, restorative sleep.

No, you do not strictly need headphones for the Solfeggio frequencies to be effective, though they can enhance the experience... Do You Need Headphones for Solfeggio Frequencies to Work? No, you do not need headphones for pure Solfeggio frequencies to work effectively; playing them out loud through a regular speaker is incredibly powerful for shifting the energy of an entire room. Because Solfeggio frequencies rely on physical sound waves vibrating through space, your body and mind can absorb these healing tones whether you are wearing earbuds or simply letting them play in the background of your home. However, choosing between headphones and open speakers depends entirely on what you are trying to achieve during your daily routine. When to Play Solfeggio Frequencies Out Loud (The Room Shift) When you play a pure Solfeggio tone through a speaker, the acoustic vibrations physically travel through the air and interact with your environment. This is the ultimate method if you want to clear negative energy from a room, set a peaceful mood for yoga, or create a shared focus space. In fact, this is exactly how our family unlocked the power of sound therapy. How Our Family Used Open Speakers for Group Focus We actually stumbled upon the power of Solfeggio frequencies completely by accident during our first year of nomad life. At the time, we worldschooled our two kids while traveling across South East Asia. I was taking a Sound Healing course in Bali and learning how to create custom audio tracks—like binaural beats, angel frequencies, and the 9 core Solfeggio tones—to sell as digital products for our online business. Because I was building my online business of building my Digital Products Offerings to work alongside this Blog (we earn from blogging find out how) - I was constantly building and testing these tracks, the pure frequencies were always looping out loud on our speakers in the background while the kids did their homeschooling and we worked on our business. Suddenly, we noticed a massive shift. The kids were incredibly focused, calm, and productive. At first, we thought it was a coincidence. But after testing it out during our remote work and study blocks, the results were undeniable: keeping these tones on loop over the speakers focused all of our minds simultaneously like nothing else. It quickly became our ultimate secret weapon for family productivity. Today, it is still the foundation of our collective work sessions. We will loop a specific tone like 741 Hz for deep problem-solving, or just let a full bundle of all 9 Solfeggio pure tones fill the room. When You Might Want to Wear Headphones Instead While speakers are perfect for a shared environment, switching to headphones or earbuds offers distinct advantages in specific situations: Binaural Beats Integration: If you ever listen to binaural beats (which send a slightly different frequency into the left and right ear), headphones are mandatory for the brainwave effect to work. (Note: Our current audio bundle features pure tones, which do not require this!) Blocking Out External Noise: If you are working from a noisy digital nomad cafe, a bustling airport, or a chaotic household, headphones help isolate the sound wave directly into your auditory canal, cutting out distractions instantly. Deep Personal Meditation: Using headphones provides an intimate, immersive experience that helps turn your attention completely inward, making it easier to enter a deep meditative state. No Rules, Just Frequency The takeaway is simple: do not let a lack of headphones stop you from hit play. Because our audio tracks are delivered as pure tones with no distracting music or voiceovers, they function beautifully as an ambient sonic background for your entire living or working space. You can stream them from your phone, laptop, or a Bluetooth speaker and let the sound waves do the heavy lifting. Ready to test the theory in your own home or workspace?

If you’re planning to relocate to Bali or simply going on holiday to this stunning island that we're making our home, one of the most rewarding things you can do is to learn some basic Bahasa Indonesia. As a family of four who made the move to Bali, we quickly realized that learning the local language was not just helpful, but essential for creating a deeper connection with the people and culture around us. In fact we took an intense 3 week course in Ubud to get us up to speed as our Bahasa was limited to none. But we also know that learning a new language can seem like a daunting task, especially if you're a complete beginner. That’s why we’ve created This Beginner’s Bahasa Indonesia Language Guide  £3.99 designed specifically for those planning to live or visit Bali. Whether you're looking to pick up a few useful phrases for your holiday or build a strong foundation for a longer stay, this guide will make the process easier and more fun! Why Learn Bahasa Indonesia Before You Go? Bali is a beautiful, welcoming place with a rich culture and warm, friendly people. While many Balinese people speak English, especially in tourist areas, speaking Bahasa Indonesia opens up a whole new world. Here’s why it’s worth the effort: Better Integration : As a family living in Bali, we found that speaking even a little Bahasa Indonesia helped us feel more integrated and less like outsiders. Enhance Your Travel Experience : For tourists, learning just a few key phrases can transform your interactions and enrich your travel experience. Build Stronger Relationships : Communicating with locals in their own language builds trust and shows respect, making your connections more meaningful. Practical Benefits : From ordering food at local warungs (restaurants) to negotiating prices at markets, knowing Bahasa Indonesia can make everyday tasks much easier and more enjoyable. What’s Inside the Beginner’s Bahasa Indonesian Language Guide? We created this easy-to-follow, beginner-friendly guide to help you start learning the language without feeling overwhelmed. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s inside: Common Phrases for Everyday Use : Get familiar with greetings, polite expressions, and simple questions you can use right away. Apa Kabar?  (How are you?) Terima Kasih  (Thank you) Berapa Harga?  (How much is it?) Basic Pronunciation Tips : Bahasa Indonesian has a relatively simple pronunciation system, but we’ll walk you through some key sounds to help you avoid any awkward misunderstandings. Essential Vocabulary for Travel & Relocation : Whether you’re heading to Bali for a holiday or moving there long-term, this section covers essential words related to transportation, food, shopping, and local customs. Cultural Insights : Language and culture go hand in hand. This section includes important cultural tips, so you’ll know how to greet people, show respect, and avoid common faux pas in Bali. How Learning Bahasa Indonesia Made Our Lives in Bali Easier When we first arrived in Bali, we knew a little bit of the language, but we quickly learned how important it was to improve our skills. Here’s how learning Bahasa Indonesia made a big difference in our lives: Navigating the Island : Getting around Bali can be a bit tricky if you don’t speak the language. Knowing basic phrases like “Di mana [place]?”  (Where is [place]?) or “Tolong bantu saya”  (Please help me) made all the difference when we were exploring or needed assistance. Food and Markets : Bali is known for its vibrant food culture and bustling markets. Being able to ask about ingredients, how to pay, or where to find specific items made us feel more confident when shopping at local warungs (food stalls) or markets. Making Friends and Connecting with Locals : Whether it was chatting with the friendly staff at our local cafe or engaging with neighbours, speaking Bahasa Indonesia opened doors to real conversations and helped us build stronger, more genuine connections with the local community. Settling In : From understanding official documents to dealing with utility companies, knowing the basics of Bahasa Indonesia helped us settle into our new life with greater ease.
