We are on track for our next amazing journey!

January 27, 2019 Melanie Hawken
We+are+on+track.jpg

by Eldari Visser, founder of PicketFence Life

A big, big thank you! As part of a pack of courageous women in Africa I can honestly start off this year with a brand new zeal! A new destination and focus. A new road in mind. Why? Because of who and what we are. How we carry each other, the sharing of ideas, the tips, the topics of discussions, how we have enriched and supported one another and how we never leave a lioness when she is down.

We are on track.jpg

Dear Lionesses, I want to invite you to join me once again this year on an exciting journey through your wealth jungle. My practical input in your business and personal life is to show you tips from nature on how to manage your wealth, how to dodge the dangers, where to look for new roads and tracks, opportunities, and how to grow your wealth. I use very easy and understandable topics. Issues that we deal with daily but with a bit of humor on the side. Life is already tough in the business world.

So, what can you expect this year? A basic 10 step program to set you up. Each step will explore money management and some business tips. We will take a path through nature either the bush, the jungle, the desert, or stormy terrain to get you safe to your chosen destination. We might have to make some heavy decisions before we set off. You might think there is nothing for you to learn. Well, that's ok. 

All I require is that you have a willingness to grow. To face the hard facts, to have an open mind, not to feel broken even before we have begun, and to think like a predator. The Queen of the Jungle. You are a winner because you have embarked on an entrepreneur journey - the toughest journey of them all. You know that you can do this. So what do you have to lose?

If you are of the opinion that I can assist you even more in your growth, then please join our 21 step challenge. I promise you this won’t break your bank and you can only grow from this. 

Here is the first  principle of your growth for 2019. Have nothing to Fear!

If you understand the principles to apply, if you understand yourself, if you understand the hectic business world and if you are tough as nails, you are already at the beginning of our journey. If you feel - heck, I don’t even know where to start… then you also have nothing to fear. 

There will be a guide at your side through the jungle. Together we will all get out to the other side stronger and better than last year. Maybe with a few battle scars, maybe even limping, but we will not give up. We will keep on walking and we will roar!

May 2019 be your year! Your Best year !

I was very fortunate to watch Guns n’ Roses live in concert last year and it closed 2018 for me on a high note. Therefore, let’s start 2019 with Axl Rose’s well known song……

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!
