Most people just exist but it takes courage to live. Everyone has an idea of how you should live your life. They will tell you, “You should study law, become a lawyer so that you can live a great life” or “Do not get your hopes up, this is the reality of life”. The truth is, you have the power to turn your passion into a career that will get you the life you have always dreamed of.

All you need is to begin…take the first step

There is power in getting started. In taking the first step toward achieving your dreams. In most cases, people come up with great ideas but they never begin. Someone will say, “There are so many things I need to do before I get started”.

With this type of mindset, you just keep postponing your idea until you are at a point whereby you lose sight of your goals and give up. The worst possible thing that can happen to anyone is to look back at their life with regret.

For women, the rules are not just different…they bring out the resilient nature of their spirit

Due to the gender disparities that exist in society, women need to be twice as good for them to stand out. Women have the strength and capacity to take on the world – they are the beacon of hope for everyone else, especially other women who feel like they deserve less than the best.

Your background is not a life sentence but rather a stepping stone

I am the COO at The Blueprint Training where I lead the day-to-day operations and help SEO agencies, consultants, and freelancers become hilariously profitable using our SEO Sprints™️ methodology.

I am also a Certified Digital Marketing Professional™️ and was a founder of numerous blogs on personal development, health, spirituality, and technology. Just like most people do, I took a traditional career path.

With a background in Law and Human Resources, I worked as a Human Resource Professional for the United States Government up to the age of 34.

Metanoia (n.) the journey of changing one’s mind hart, mind, self, or way of life.

Nobody is without doubt or fear…all they do is rise above that fear

There is always a risk that comes with leaving your “traditional” job. You wonder if you are going to be financially stable when you follow your passion.

But I chose to take a leap of faith and in doing so; I went completely against the norms and values of my country: those of financial stability and job security. Many of those around me called me bold, courageous, possibly crazy, but definitely not ordinary!

And the ‘risk’ of doing it made me financially more stable than before.

Quit suffocating and choose to achieve your dreams

Even after working for the government for 10 years, I struggled with the feeling of working in a toxic environment. Trying to get the right thing done pushed me over the edge and weirdly that is when I began to breathe.

I now had the opportunity to follow my true passion. It does not matter whether you are in your 30s or 40s; it is never too late to achieve your dreams. Make a decision to go for it and never turn back.

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, surrounded by assholes. – William Gibson

A dream is not a dream until it touches the lives of others

I have always been passionate about helping others achieve their goals and so I began with myself. My viewpoint changed, and I decided to follow my passion. I wanted to make a career out of my passion and so I did.

What began as a personal journey for me has now grown into a community that accommodates likeminded people.

When it is all said and done, you will look back on your journey with pride

I have been featured in big media outlets such as Simple Reminders, Pick The Brain, Thought Catalog, Dumb Little Man, Motivation Grid, Mogul, Success Story, Self-Growth, CXO Stories, Startup 360 Magazine, and many more.

My secret to success stems from how well I connect with the heart-beating people to help and communicate my understanding back to them.

Success lies in your daily routine

Success is a process that requires a daily measure of commitment and by working together, we get closer to achieving our goals.

All the good things in life lie on the other side of fear. Have the courage to live. Open your eyes and create the reality you truly deserve. Inspire others. Change the world. – Ane Krstevska
