Mirela! Loving this story!! I have been saying I’m staying “free” until this milestone and that one, but it’s definitely more of a fear than anything else. Thank you for helping me become more confident as well!

Dear Danielle, thank you. I must admit that it lit up my day to hear that my article provided a confidence boost. 🤩 I’m thrilled. Any time. Keep on saying yes to you.

BTW, I laughed out loud in this part: " I joined Instagram and LinkedIn and was shocked. “What a jungle!” " 😂

I was so desperate.

Mirela, reading this whole journey in one place is something else. Five weeks and you've already built your own framework out of everyone else's advice instead of just copying it. That's rare!

The moment you went looking for the pay button on my publication and it wasn't there yet, that's not a small detail. That's you knowing exactly what you value before you even built it yourself.

And skipping the digital courses because your gut said no, even with everything else going on, that took more clarity than most people have after a year here. Excited to watch the pillars take shape.

Loved it.

Thank you for including me in this story!

Thank you. I don’t believe in one size fits all and I will do my best to teach individuality and design of my reader’s approach. You are an example of differentiation yourself.

The pay button moment taught me so much.

Oh Mirela, that pay button moment is going to shape a lot of decisions for you going forward. Excited to see where the pillars take you. 😍🔥
