Viola and her program Soulful Business Academy changed my life. She created the most beautiful, energy-charged community of likeminded women – all striving forward to reach the next goals in their life and business. She crafted a melting pot of ambition, love and the highest energy possible. This energy propelled us all forward to create and achieve incredible things – in such a short space of time – 7 weeks. After the very first supercharged welcome call I knew that this program was not ordinary. This woman was not ordinary. This was something that was going to create monumental shifts in my self belief, and in my vision for my life. The warmth, guidance, strategy, business gold and occasional tough love she gave us allowed us all to flourish each week. I just adored our calls – and looked forward to them eagerly. She also created a safe space for us to SHARE ourselves and be vulnerable – which is something that has not been easy for me in business, as I have come to this place in my career through sometimes putting on a front and pushing myself to perform a certain way. Viola unravelled this for me through her calls and weekly activities. I was able to see that ease and alignment will get one further than stress and hustle. You can create more by allowing space in your life, and not falling victim to the trap of ‘busy’ work. Your mindset, your internal language and self talk, your belief in the universe and your ability to co-create your life, your relationship with others, your relationship with money, – and your ENERGY – is everything. Viola demonstrated all of this to us in the most tangible and motivating way. Personally – these are the most significant things I achieved whilst enrolled in this epic program – - A new level of self belief, a new group of wonderful likeminded friends, a new comfortability in sharing myself and being vulnerable in my work. - I doubled my business income. - I launched a new business – a beautiful co-working space with private studios to rent in a stunning building around the corner from my home. I also FILLED it with likeminded women in a month, and covered my rent entirely (and then some) through subletting to them. - I embarked on the biggest and most impactful client project with my Graphic Design business yet. A huge environmental project for Melbourne. - An article of mine was published on Entrepreneur.com - I WON an all expenses paid trip to Greece – on a mindset retreat with nine other women, sailing around the Greek Islands on a yacht – after buying a raffle ticket for $40.00. This happened at the very end of Soulful Business Academy – and I believe this timing was no accident. Magic happens when you expand your belief. Thank you to Viola for creating this incredible course. Thank you for all the other women who participated with me. If anyone is considering investing in themselves and partaking in the next round – do it, you can and you will change your life.
