Annabel Grove

 

Good for you! You have taken your first step towards this journey of empowering yourself and who knows where it will take you. It's exciting isn't it.

 

A little bit about me first and how I can help you become richer; personally and financially. You are on the road towards turning your 'thoughts' into positive actions.

 

Let's time travel back twelve years - my life was a very different story. I went through the most horrific divorce at the same time as my mother, grandmother and uncle dying. It was a year that truly shunted our lives to the left field and for about three years I really struggled; financially and mentally, to stabilise my children. Needless to say, I didn't do it on my own; my children, family, friends and books were my cheerleaders but one particular friend said something to me that resonated. She said 'Send 'positive thoughts' into the universe, work hard and don't build all your anxieties up into one big mountain Annabel, and you will get everything you ever wanted in life.

 

At that time, I just wanted to be financially independent so I could provide for my children. I had no idea what it was that I wanted or needed to do to get there. What I did know was what was important to me. These were: my children and providing them with good schooling, a roof over their heads and a child's childhood. The ideas weren't particularly original but they were the most important things for me at that time. I achieved them and more.

 

Fast forward twelve years to today and the picture is very different. By taking incremental steps and sending out positive thoughts, I have changed myself and my family's lives from the threat of being on welfare to financial independence. I'm not saying it was easy - it took a lot of hard grafting and determination. I am not saying it was success from the word go - I made a lot of mistakes and I learned from them. I am certainly not saying it was all sweet smelling roses and expresso coffee - it took some mind blowing dance moves to dodge stray bullets BUT I DID IT and so can you.

 

At 52 years old I have now changed my life around. In 2013, I achieved a 2.1 BSc in Speech and Language Therapy from University College London, whilst raising a family. My children are all in full time employment and happy(ish). There is money in the bank once again. We have choice back in our lives. It was a long road but I am here to help you get choice back into your life too.  Every step of my journey has been a step in the direction I have chosen to take. Sometimes I had to step back, take a different path, stand still (I hated these stages), but it has been a journey well travelled. Full of new people I have met, new experiences and changes in my mindset. So how can you get to here? Take this journey with me and I will support you all the way. I will listen when you have down days, push you when you want to give up, coach you through your worst fears and I will be there when you celebrate. Look out for me. I am your reflection; jumping up and down, smiling broadly and cheering you on.
