You worry that you worry too much about money… You worry that your worry and your desire for more money will stop you making money… And so then you try hard to stop worrying about money and stop wanting to have more money…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-Discipline.png" width="500"/> Your mind is a crazy place at the moment, isn't it? Full of wonderings and wishings and uncertainties and ups and downs and you feel out of control in your mind at the moment. And yet, it is all within your control. Your brain can only take you where you let it take you. It is on you, honey! You are born to impact many... To serve them with your business, with yuor message, with YOU!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-4.png" width="500"/> Every day, you have one less day to realise the vision in your heart Are you doing everything you can to live it out? Every day, you feel less sure that you can change the trajectory of your life… Every day, you get more and more stuck in your ways… Every day, you give up a little more… Turn that around, honey! TURN THAT AROUND!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-6.png" width="500"/> Why do you do this? You hold on tightly to a life you do not want. You see opportunity for change but you just keep hanging on to your ‘half-life’ Trying to protect yourself from failure But you are already living that! Yes, honey, you already failed! There you are trying to protect yourself from… what?! The life you are already living?!!!! How very silly of you!
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-75.jpg" /> I get it… Things have happened… PEOPLE have happened and they have caused you to doubt yourself but honey… They are not the creator of your life… YOU ARE! Events do not get to define you… YOU DO! And whatever it is that you have been through gives you the exact strength that you need to propel yourself forward if you will do the work of getting your head in the right place and your actions to follow suit.
So, honey, tell me… What do you want the money for? Because that reason is the thing that will empower or disempower you to receive it.
I get tired of knee jerk responses from people who are not willing to question their beliefs. Beliefs that have been passed down to them by other people who were not willing to question their beliefs. And so, these unfounded beliefs keep going from person to person, generation to generation, getting more and more murkey and NO ONE is willing to question it.
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Copy-of-building-a-business-39-1024x535.png" /> Some days, it just don’t feel good And yet, you gotta keep moving forward… Some days, you want to hand in the towel and become a norm… And yet, if you ain’t got the dream yet, then you gotta keep moving forward… Some days, you are going to want to yell and scream and shout about the horridness of it all… And yes, give yourself a second to do that but then get up and keep moving forward…
Yesterday, I doubted myself… It was pyjama day so I allowed myself to indulge in it and guess what?! I regretted it. I ALWAYS regret it and yet, I never seem to learn. I allowed the doubts a voice in my head for about 4 hours and then I realised that I was getting absolutely nowhere AS USUAL and I chose to believe again. Just like that – I made a choice to believe – Did some real work instead of all the navel-gazing work and made sales. Like a switch.
Yes, I know I cannot control you… I cannot control what you choose to do or not do… I cannot make you stick around if you choose to run off… But I will do my best! Because honey, I am showing up! Every single day and I will keep doing it. Join me!
You have some strange ideas. The unfortunate thing is that you do not see them as unusual because you think that everyone in your world thinks the same way. And yes, they do but does that make it right? I don't think so. You may have been brought up in a family where it was considered proud to tell people how good you are at what you do but is it really proud? Or is that just a tradition that you grew up into? Is it truth or tradition?
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-7.png" width="500"/> I have always wanted a life where I was super close to my Higher Power! Since I was 6 or 7 years old and life took a turn for the unknown, I have searched for spiritual understanding… Always knowing that there was something, someONE out there loving me, paying attention… Religion however, comes with all these rules and regulations about how things SHOULD BE done to connect with God… And that stifles everything!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/make-a-committed-decision.png" width="500"/> I just spent a longer time than usual, rewriting out my vision… Really getting into the spirit of it, seeing pictures in my mind of myself and my family doing all the things I dream of… Seeing chains being broken off me that chain me to a lower existence than what I am capable of… Seeing my History Maker and Deliberate Millionaire clients accomplishing great things…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-Self-Belief-Is-A-Choice.png" width="500"/> I walked through most of my life feeling unworthy… Always rebelling against what people wanted me to do because I had this inner voice telling me that it just would not suit me… Family wanted me to remain a pharmacist instead of go into my own business… NOPE! Family wanted me to follow along with traditions that made absolutely no sense to me… NOPE! Family wanted me to find a Nigerian dude to marry… NOPE!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-55.jpg" width="500"/> Once upon a time, I allowed myself to remain poor by holding on tightly to the little money I had and refusing to let it out of my sight because it felt so hard to come by. I was living in poverty and I did not even know it. ON the face of things I was successful, I had the career, the house, the cars, the cleaner and people thought I had it altogether but in my heart of hearts, I wanted more and I had a lot of debt to support my supposed wealth.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-1.png" width="500"/> You, created in the image of the Divine… You, Born to lead and impact many lives… You, creative genius… You, overcomer of horrid bad times… You, defeater of depression, stress and anxiety… You, determined turner-upper when others would have laid down and given up… You, powerful revolutionary leader… You, with so many books within you… You, with products/services/music/art that could change lives…
Yes, honey you do KNOW what you want… You dream of it when you let your mind wander… You can see yourself confidently doing it, in the dead of the night…
Lets be honest here… The weight of your dreams sometimes feels darned right overwhelming, overpowering, just too much and ‘why on earth do you think you have a right to all of that’!
Everywhere you look, you are surrounded by the familiar… Things and people that have been around you since forever… It is all so the same And yet, you feel different inside You feel called to follow through on a particular call, a particular purpose And it is unlike anything that anyone in your current existence has ever done and they think you are a little loopy… You wonder if you are, as well! HAVE YOU CUT THE CORDS YET? Deep in your spirit, heart and soul, you know you are born for more than the norm…
When last did you take a time out? A time that was completely yours, to do with whatever you will? Not a time filled with mindless entertainment that prevents you from contemplating… Not a time when you escape thinking by flicking through Facebook, or some other technological distraction…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Be-Brave.png" width="500"/> Honey, I can see you… YOu want to say certain things but you hold back, worried that you might lose all your friends… You want to do powerful work, change lives and create a super-successful business but you are scared that someone, somewhere will think you are mercenary… You worry endlesly about your motivations and you worry that trying to make money doing work you feel called to, is wrong… And so you hold back. You keep your real, true self hidden…
Yep, I know it is not the thing to say… We are supposed to be all about balance and mindfulness and crazy nonsense like that… And workaholics are not supposed to care about their families and they are supposed to get sick and die sad lonely lives…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Your-mouth-and-heart-say-yes-but-your-feet-say-no-Rosemary-nonny-Knight.png" width="500"/> Your heart is stirred… You hear words that speak to your very soul… And you know it is a “YES!!!!’ for you… BUt then you go to move your feet and… nothing happens… The fear rears its ugly head again… And so, nothing. You retreat… You beat yourself up a little more… You tell yourself that you are not cut out for this… You tell yourself that you cannot do it…
It is fairly amusing to see people do this thing where they think that because they have paid their dues to their higher power, he/she will now give them the secret path to wealth that no one else has.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-4.png" width="500"/> I grew up on bible passages like this… “Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God & His Righteousness… And then Everything you need will be added to you” It was an exhortation to put first things first – your purpose, your calling – and expect that your every day needs and desires will then be taken care of…
This is exactly the right moment for you to begin… Who cares what went before… NOW IS YOUR TIME! Who cares what you failed at in the past… NOW IS YOUR TIME! Who cares who said you can’t do this or that… NOW IS YOUR TIME! Who cares about anything other than the fact that NOW IS YOUR TIME!
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-62.jpg" /> Some people walk through life thinking that everything they do is doomed to fail and so they think “Why Bother?” That cannot be you… Some people blame everyone and everything for their misfortunes and again, stay trapped in lives, careers, businesses they do not like. That cannot be you… Growing up, I sang a song with the words ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper’ and it felt like fighting talk…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Be-The-Change-Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-1024x536.png" width="500"/> You know what you are capable of… You know that if you really set your mind to do something then it has no chance against you… But you are surrounded by regular people with regular thinking and you have started to doubt yourself… You have allowed their negativity to seep inside of you! You are watching and listening to the news and getting told over and over about how helpless you are and you are buying into the nonsense…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-7.png" width="500"/> I talk a lot about the narrow path and to me, it is that less commonly taken road… The path taken only by mavericks, by deliberate millionaires, by history makers… The path that leads to a purpose-driven life and business… One that leads to increased impact and income (if you let it)… The road taken by people like you and I. It can be tough to stay on it whereas the broad path is easy… Everyone takes it.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Make-your-DENT.png" width="500"/> Honey, today is the day that everything starts to change… Not tomorrow when you have learnt something new… Not tomorrow when you suddenly have some more time and the children don’t need you, or the partner is happy or the parents don’t want you to run an errand or something… Not tomorrow when things are suddenly somehow more perfect… Not tomorrow when you are more clear about what you are about… TODAY! Today is the day that you move the needle. A LOT!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-Be-Idealistic-1024x536.png" width="500"/> Most people live in a bleak world… They don’t mean to… They don’t think they do… But they do. They tell you and anyone that will listen that they are being realistic… And because most people around them think and talk in the same way, these people think they are accurate… And honey, if you are only surrounded by these people, you will start to feel like there is something seriously wrong with you…
Today, I got a message asking me how I help people... My first reaction to this question is usually "Go look!" It is not like I hide what I do - It is everywhere if you care to look. But then because I know people, I went beyond that to wondering why this person had reached out to me... Now there are usually 2 reasons...

<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/The-Entrepreneur-Journey.png" width="500"/> Sometimes, building your purpose-driven life and business will feel like you are taking many, MANY steps back! In my quiet time this morning, i had the impression of a catapult, being pulled back and back and back… The tension is high… And that is how it feels, right? You wonder if you can take the pressure… You watch your bank balance dwindle, rather than rise… Every penny you can spare plus some you can’t is invested into you and your business…
Being a leader is essential if you want to build a solid team that supports other people in being their best self and that is what network marketing is all about - Supporting others and growing your business.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/You-need-to-have-a-fuck-it-moment.png" width="500"/> So many people say they want to be rich or financially independent or impact and influence people for good or reach whatever level of success they feel born to reach… And yet, not many people choose to do it… They come up with excuses… “Oh, I don’t know what to do” – No one does at the start, make a commitment and MOVE, getting support, asking questions, following the intuitive nudges as you go.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/20170409_140257.jpg" width="500"/> One thing you must realise is that you are not your negative thoughts... They are simply puffs of wind passing through your brain and you get a choice as to whether to hold onto them or not. I get it - You have been holding on to them for a long time now. I did that too! I remember long days of feeling down and in the dumps, unable to move forward thinking that I was doomed and stuck...
I listen to people telling me day in and day out about how they only want to make the money they need… And I see from their demeanour that they think that that makes them in some way, holier than everyone else out there who is out to grab everything they can get - or so they think…
I see you with the big ideas, the big dreams, the big goals… You think about it, you talk about it… And then you go back to live out your ‘settled-for’ life because you don’t actually think that you can have everything you dream of. You think your dreams are too big…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Rosemary-Nonny-Knight-How-Much-Money-Do-You-Want-.png" width="500"/> You have some money… But it never seems enough… You have ideas for things you can do to elevate your income… But you never seem to follow through… The book remains unfinished… You start to create that piece of art or music but you never complete it… You dream and think about adding that product to your line but you never quite do the work to bring it to life…
Everyone starts writing a blog expecting the whole world to beat a path to their door and then after writing a blog or two, they give up because no one reads their well-researched, ‘shed-blood and tears’, posts.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/your-dream-is-possible.png" width="500"/> You have a dream, a big dream of life being easier and more amazing than it is at the moment… You also have a doubt, a big doubt that it can never really get any better than this… And unfortunately, the doubt wins. And so you stay stuck. Wanting but fighting yourself and therefore acting as though you do not want… Life is tough when you are stuck in this place…
<img width="500" src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Why-Do-You-Persist-in-Believing-this-nonsense-71.jpg" /> It is so easy to get trapped into thinking that you are not going to be able to find your people because you start to see the people around you as the only options that there are… You have been pushing and striving to build your business and as great as that is, you are starting to get a small village feeling as the same faces come past you on a regular basis and you wonder where the new people are…
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Focus-on-what-shifts-the-needle.png" width="500"/> You spend too much time questioning yourself… You spend too much time wondering if what you have is good enough to help people… You wonder if your gift, your strength, your story, history, experience is even useful… You wonder if you have what it takes to go the distance… You wonder if anyone cares to hear you share your stories… You wonder if God is on your side… And honey, you are making it all about you!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/get-clear.-get-to-work.png" width="500"/> It is one thing to say you want to achieve financial independence and it is another thing to actually get to work making it so. It is one thing to say you want to change lives with a service, ministry, product or art, books, music and it is another thing to actually do the work to make it so.
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Snapchat-1508641788.jpg" width="500"/> You are conflicted, aren’t you? In the silence, you know your purpose – You have always known it! Since you were young, you knew you were called to something in particular… To impact people in a significant way… But it does not seem practical… You don’t think it will make you all that much money And you doubt yourself! You feel called to this work but you spend more time hiding away from doing the work than actually doing it!
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/You-Could-Be-Changing-Lives-Right-Now-8.png" width="500"/> What are you committed to? What do you consider to be the purpose of your life? Or are you one of those who are still looking for one? What if it is all your choice?! What if you could just choose something that stirs your heart and make it your purpose and COMMIT to making it happen while being open to even further expansion on your purpose? What if you don’t have to wait for the voice from heaven yelling at you to go get THAT thing?
<img src="http://rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/4-Things-Needed-To-Grow-Your-Purpose-Driven-Business-3.png" width="500"/> Do you ever get tired of listening to those people that boast of some – something they did a long time ago? And yet, no recent wins! I mean it is nice to hear it the first time but when nothing new is happening, you stop listening, right?! Wondering when they will shut up and go do something new, right?! Unless it is your grand dad or something telling you his war stories and then you smile and humour him
<img width="500" src="http://i1.wp.com/rosemarynonnyknight.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/building-a-business-41.jpg?w=1200" /> It is hard when you do not feel like you are experiencing abundance to then claim that it is your birthright. I know. I have lived with poverty and though nowhere near as bad as it could have been, it still infected all of my thinking. Everything came with a struggle… I had to do things I did not want to do in order to live…
