My name is James Kademan, entrepreneur,

[00:00:20]

[00:00:24]
Today we’re welcoming/preparing to learn from

[00:00:27]
Sandy Forster,
the best selling author,

[00:00:29]
speaker, and Prosperity mentor
with wildlywealthy.com.

[00:00:34]
Sandy, how are you doing today?

[00:00:36]
I am doing amazing.
Thank you, James.

[00:00:39]
And I have to say,

[00:00:40]
the very fact that you’ve got the name Prairie in a bank just is amazing.

[00:00:44]
I love it.

[00:00:46]
Yeah, it’s a weird.
I don’t know.

[00:00:48]
They throw money at me at

[00:00:50]
the place that we record all this,
so we had to give them kudos.

[00:00:55]
So it’s all about how it is.
Right.

[00:00:58]
So you on your website, you know that you
went from Welfare to millionaire.

[00:01:03]
Which that alone,
you have us…

[00:01:05]
Well, pretty intrigued
because that sounds pretty cool.

[00:01:08]
So how would you just tell us
briefly and then we can dig into it.

[00:01:12]
What is your backstory for going
from Welfare to Millionaire?

[00:01:15]
Yeah, sure.

[00:01:17]
So basically the very quick back story.

[00:01:19]
I met a boy when I was 16 in high school.

[00:01:23]
We went out for 11 years.

[00:01:24]
We got married.

[00:01:26]
I had a three year old and a six
month old, and then we got divorced.

[00:01:29]
And the business that I had at the time,
which was designing and manufacturing

[00:01:34]
swimwear, which was really just a hobby,
like it was something that I did.

[00:01:38]
I used to buy lovely fabric all winter and

[00:01:41]
and go to my garage and sew it all
into bikinis and gym wear and then find

[00:01:48]
an empty store down by the beach
in summer and then sell it all.

[00:01:51]
And so it was just a hobby.

[00:01:52]
But suddenly that hobby had to become
an actual business, like a real business.

[00:01:57]
And I didn’t make enough money at all.

[00:01:58]
I just went further and further into debt

[00:02:00]
and I ended up one hundred thousand
dollars in debt and on welfare and

[00:02:04]
literally thought that that’s where I was
going to be kind of landing the rest

[00:02:08]
of my life because I couldn’t see how
I would ever get out of that debt.

[00:02:12]
But very luckily,

[00:02:14]
I discovered the law of attraction and I
discovered

[00:02:18]
quantum physics and neuroscience
and discovered that you could actually

[00:02:24]
create your life the way that you wanted
to by basically rewiring your brain.

[00:02:29]
And so that’s what I did.

[00:02:31]
And yeah, I went from
Welfare to Millionaire.

[00:02:33]
And my absolute passion now is helping
other entrepreneurs to really understand

[00:02:39]
how they think, can really affect their
future, their destiny, and their business.

[00:02:44]
All right.

[00:02:45]
How long ago did you have
the swimwear company?

[00:02:49]
That was probably 22 years ago. Oh it was, OK.
This was a while ago.

[00:02:53]
All right.
Yeah.

[00:02:54]
Yeah.

[00:02:55]
I discovered the law of attraction
well before the rest of the world.

[00:02:58]
So, yeah, I really first discovered a law
of attraction about twenty years ago.

[00:03:03]
And at the time I was as I said,
I was really struggling financially and

[00:03:10]
I really dived into it and just
gave it everything I had.

[00:03:14]
Because the thing is,

[00:03:15]
just imagine, you’re one hundred thousand
dollars in debt and on welfare.

[00:03:18]
And if you focus on that and you think

[00:03:20]
about that and you put all your
energy there, it’s not a happy place.

[00:03:26]
No, it’s very tough.

[00:03:28]
Just it’s really scary.
Yeah.

[00:03:30]
It’s just really,
really scary and not nice.

[00:03:32]
So when I discovered the law of attraction

[00:03:34]
discovered, what you focus
on is what you create.

[00:03:37]
I felt like I was in heaven because

[00:03:39]
focusing on how my life actually was.
I was focusing on being

[00:03:43]
a millionaire and all the things I would
do when I was a millionaire and having

[00:03:45]
my own house and having a car that didn’t
leak and grow a plant in the back because

[00:03:50]
it because when it rained,
there was so much water there.

[00:03:53]
And and being able to travel and being
able to do all the things that made

[00:03:56]
my heart sing, it was just it was
so much fun going to that place.

[00:04:01]
So, you know, as I said,
I really dived into it.

[00:04:03]
And I spent a lot of time really focusing

[00:04:05]
on what I wanted and things
just completely turned around.

[00:04:09]
So let’s talk about the law
of attraction for a little bit.

[00:04:11]
How did you stumble upon it?

[00:04:12]
Was it I don’t know if the secret
came out all the time.

[00:04:15]
This thinking grow rich or the richest man

[00:04:17]
in Babylon or there’s millions
of books that talk about it.

[00:04:20]
So how did you stumble upon it?

[00:04:22]
Well, initially I stumbled upon it,

[00:04:25]
I guess, when it was just
called positive thinking.

[00:04:29]
I remember going to a seminar I buy what
was his name is one of those really?

[00:04:34]
I think it’s Brian.
Tracy, and he came to Australia and he was and it

[00:04:38]
was just it was a huge, big,
like entertainment center.

[00:04:42]
And it was probably there’s tens

[00:04:44]
of thousands of people attending
and 98% of them were all men.

[00:04:48]
And it was all about sales.

[00:04:50]
So it’s a big sales conference.

[00:04:52]
And he talked about

[00:04:55]
the super conscious mind and how
we had this part of our mind that.

[00:04:59]
We’re just not tapping into and if
we tap into it,

[00:05:02]
then everything can change,
and his language was very much aimed at

[00:05:07]
men, salesmen, and but years later,
when I thought about everything he said,

[00:05:13]
because I found my notes and I went
through what it was like, oh, my gosh,

[00:05:17]
this guy was talking about the law
of attraction, but he was languaging it

[00:05:20]
in a way that felt
comfortable to mainstream.

[00:05:25]
But the way I actually discovered the law
of attraction and understood what it was,

[00:05:29]
was, as I said, I was one hundred
thousand dollars in debt.

[00:05:32]
I was on welfare.

[00:05:33]
I was really stressed out.

[00:05:36]
I was embarrassed about my situation.

[00:05:39]
I felt a lot of shame because I thought

[00:05:41]
the rest of the world had the money thing
sorted and I was the only one that didn’t

[00:05:46]
and and really scared and frustrated
and didn’t know what my future held.

[00:05:51]
And I remember going to

[00:05:55]
was kind of like

[00:05:57]
this, like a career counselor
slash hypnotherapist.

[00:06:03]
And I went to this guy and he put me under

[00:06:07]
I didn’t even know that I went under,
but he did whatever he does.

[00:06:10]
And then at the end of it,
he said, So what came up for you?

[00:06:13]
And I said, Well.

[00:06:14]
The only thing that really appeals to me
is personal development,

[00:06:19]
but in my mind, I’m thinking there is no
way I’m getting into the personal

[00:06:23]
development industry because
there’s only two things you can do.

[00:06:27]
You either write a book or you speak.

[00:06:30]
And there is no way on this planet that I
can ever do either of those things.

[00:06:35]
So I just kind of dismissed it.

[00:06:37]
Then about two weeks later,
I saw these tiny little ad is my neat

[00:06:44]
little ad in the paper,
and it just jumped out at me

[00:06:47]
and there were some words
in there that really appealed.

[00:06:50]
One was it’s his strong work ethic.

[00:06:53]
It said personal development
and it said make money.

[00:06:57]
And I was like, yes,

[00:07:00]
it was ticking all the boxes.

[00:07:02]
So I answered that ad and it just
happened to be about a product.

[00:07:08]
There was sort of a suite of products
that was homestudy courses and there were

[00:07:12]
seminars, but it was all based
on the law of attraction.

[00:07:15]
And that’s the first time I
discovered the law of attraction.

[00:07:18]
So that would have been

[00:07:20]
gosh, that was about

[00:07:23]
20 years ago, back to the year 2000, OK.

[00:07:26]
And that was well before
the secret came out.

[00:07:28]
So the secret came out in 2000
and I think it was 2006.

[00:07:33]
But so I discovered the law
of attraction and I absolutely loved it.

[00:07:37]
And as I said, I fell in love with it,
just kept applying it in my life.

[00:07:41]
And I’d love to say that from that point

[00:07:44]
onwards, there was onward
and upward and amazing things.

[00:07:47]
But but it doesn’t really work like that.

[00:07:51]
I used to think I used to I used to say

[00:07:53]
to people, I work by the bulldozer method,
meaning I get a goal, I focus on it,

[00:07:59]
and I just go toward it and everything
else just gets knocked out of the way.

[00:08:02]
And that can definitely work
up to a point.

[00:08:07]
But at some point you have to actually
what I call a line, body, mind and spirit.

[00:08:13]
So you can’t just do the doing and focus

[00:08:15]
on what you want and go toward it
and expect that life will be nirvana

[00:08:19]
from that point because we’re human
and stuff happens and we react to stuff

[00:08:26]
and the way we react in the way we
think can really affect our results.

[00:08:30]
So when I discovered that it was all about

[00:08:33]
aligning body, mind and spirit,
a little about aligning your thoughts

[00:08:37]
and your feelings and your actions,
that’s where the real magic happens.

[00:08:41]
Gotcha.

[00:08:43]
That’s pretty cool.

[00:08:44]
So tell me about

[00:08:46]
the law of attraction and moving
into the body mind spirit thing

[00:08:49]
that goes a little bit beyond what
I guess what a lot of books talk about.

[00:08:54]
Yeah, well, a lot of books and the movie,
the sequel was amazing and

[00:09:00]
I absolutely loved it because
by that stage I had already written my own

[00:09:04]
book, had to be wildly wealthy fast,
which is all about all the different

[00:09:08]
processes and exercises that I used
to manifest more money into my life.

[00:09:13]
And so when the secret came out,

[00:09:15]
I was like beside myself because it was
like, oh, my gosh, this is so exciting.

[00:09:19]
It’s based around what I already teach.

[00:09:22]
It’s going to really open the world up to
this amazing thing called the attraction.

[00:09:28]
And what we focus on is what we attract.

[00:09:31]
But before that, what happened was I
was really in that place where I was

[00:09:39]
I was coaching groups around
the law of attraction.

[00:09:42]
And I was really helping them to to

[00:09:45]
put into place all the different
processes and exercises.

[00:09:48]
But what I noticed was a lot of people

[00:09:50]
were kind of struggling
with actually manifesting.

[00:09:55]
So they were doing all the right things

[00:09:56]
that thinking, well, the right things,
but they weren’t actually

[00:10:00]
manifesting what they wanted or what
manifesting on a consistent basis.

[00:10:04]
And so so what I really discovered was

[00:10:07]
and it actually comes back to something
that Wallace Waddle’s,

[00:10:12]
who wrote The Science of Getting Rich,
was a book written in 1910.

[00:10:16]
So that’s over over one hundred years ago.

[00:10:19]
Yeah, very old language.

[00:10:22]
But in that book, he says something
very profound and I love it.

[00:10:25]
He says, I thought the thing
you desire is brought to you.

[00:10:30]
But by action, you receive it, all right.

[00:10:33]
And that’s kind of the missing
piece for most people.

[00:10:36]
They sitting around meditating, expecting
the money to drop into their lap.

[00:10:40]
Right.
But they’re not taking action.

[00:10:43]
And so when I say a line, body,

[00:10:45]
mind and spirit, it’s about
thinking that you’ve already created,

[00:10:50]
manifested, attracted what
it is you truly desire.

[00:10:53]
So you get really clear
on what you design.

[00:10:54]
You think about it,

[00:10:55]
and you you really getting to that place
and imagining it’s already in your life.

[00:11:00]
And then spirit is all about the feelings.

[00:11:03]
It’s about really connecting

[00:11:04]
with the feelings that you would have,
as if you have already manifested it.

[00:11:08]
So quite often it’s things like gratitude
and joy and happiness and appreciation.

[00:11:13]
So really getting into the feeling place.

[00:11:15]
But then people want taking action, right?

[00:11:18]
We’re basically sitting around
expecting it to magically appear.

[00:11:22]
Right.
And the missing piece is the action.

[00:11:25]
When you take action,

[00:11:27]
you’re affirming not only to the universe
that you’re serious,

[00:11:30]
but you’re actually affirming
to yourself that you mean business.

[00:11:34]
And when you do that,

[00:11:36]
something kind of shifts that thing,
like your confidence grows.

[00:11:40]
You feel like because you’re a logical

[00:11:42]
mind is going, OK,
I get this, this is real.

[00:11:45]
Whereas if you don’t if you
hand me if you if you don’t take action,

[00:11:51]
what happens is your logical mind,

[00:11:53]
which isn’t the creative mind is the one
that really allows you to attract,

[00:11:57]
but your logical mind goes,
well, this is a load of rubbish.

[00:12:00]
Like I don’t see how
this is going to happen.

[00:12:02]
And and when your logical mind comes

[00:12:04]
in and sabotages you, then you’re
not going to attract anything.

[00:12:06]
You’re not going to that the opportunities

[00:12:08]
in the situations and the experiences
and the connections and all the things

[00:12:14]
that will enable you to manifest your
dreams, to attract things into your life,

[00:12:20]
it’s not going to happen because
your logical mind is sabotaging you.

[00:12:22]
So when you align body, mind and spirit,
when you think the right thoughts feel

[00:12:26]
right feelings and take the right actions,
that’s when it all can happen.

[00:12:31]
Gosh, yeah, that’s cool.
That’s cool.

[00:12:33]
Yeah.
The action thing is,

[00:12:35]
is definitely I feel like that’s,
that’s lost with a lot of people.

[00:12:38]
The implementation, they feel
like I’m thinking all the things.

[00:12:42]
Yeah.
Then yeah.

[00:12:43]
So what is the last step
that you took towards that goal.

[00:12:47]
Yeah.

[00:12:47]
And that’s the thing because because
the law of attraction and all

[00:12:51]
the different processes and exercises
and all the mindset work.

[00:12:54]
It is so much fun like it is,
it’s way more fun than the action.

[00:12:59]
If it’s a dream, that’s why it is.

[00:13:01]
So that’s why, you know, everyone’s
quite happy to do all that stuff.

[00:13:04]
But actually taking the action is,

[00:13:06]
is when you allow it to move from the
metaphysical into the physical world.

[00:13:12]
So action is so important.

[00:13:14]
Yeah, interesting.

[00:13:15]
And let me give you an example.

[00:13:17]
I want to give you an example of that.
Sorry.

[00:13:19]
I just want to jump in because
I talked about the secret.

[00:13:22]
And so when the secret first came out here
in Australia, it didn’t actually come out.

[00:13:28]
So there was this trailer and I
don’t know if you saw it.

[00:13:30]
It went for about, I don’t know, a couple
of minutes, probably two minutes.

[00:13:34]
It didn’t actually say it was
about the law of attraction.

[00:13:36]
It didn’t didn’t give you that definite.

[00:13:39]
But I just got this sense because I talked
about this secret and it just felt like it

[00:13:45]
really had something to do with what I was
doing, really had something to do

[00:13:48]
with my book and on the courses
and programs that I was offering.

[00:13:51]
I just really wanted to to see it.

[00:13:54]
And but I couldn’t sell it
in Australia at the time.

[00:13:57]
And so I decided to email
the secret people.

[00:14:01]
So I sent an email off to Rhonda Byrne
and she’s the producer of The Secret.

[00:14:05]
And I actually send it directly
just to the secret website.

[00:14:08]
And I got an email back
from Rhonda herself.

[00:14:11]
He said, we get, you know,

[00:14:14]
dozens, hundreds, thousands of emails
come to our website, but I never get any.

[00:14:19]
And for some reason, I didn’t have it.

[00:14:21]
Yours came to me.

[00:14:23]
And in the email I’d said,
I’d love to send your gift because I think

[00:14:27]
what you’re doing is going
to change the world.

[00:14:29]
So she said, I’d love to have a gift. So I
said in my book and I said

[00:14:32]
to my millionaire mindset program,
which at the time was

[00:14:36]
printed at home study course,
and she emailed me back and said,

[00:14:40]
Oh my gosh, did you watch The Secret
and then write your book?

[00:14:44]
And I said, no.

[00:14:45]
The book’s been out for ages and I
still haven’t seen the secret.

[00:14:48]
So she ended up sending me a DVD and I had

[00:14:51]
a secret party at my house while
people around we watched the secret.

[00:14:56]
And I was like, Oh, my gosh.
And I said, Why?

[00:14:58]
I said to her, why can’t we
buy the secret in Australia?

[00:15:02]
And there was some sort of agreement

[00:15:04]
that until it aired on TV, they weren’t
allowed to actually sell it along.

[00:15:10]
And I had clients from all around
the world and I said, well,

[00:15:13]
I want to be able to sell it to people
because I think it’s amazing.

[00:15:16]
I’ve I said, can someone else
in America sell it to Australia?

[00:15:21]
Yeah.
And she said, sure, you know,

[00:15:23]
American or any American company can,
but we can sell to Australia.

[00:15:28]
And I said, well, I just happened to.

[00:15:29]
A US company,

[00:15:31]
and so my US company purchased the secret
and then began selling it to all

[00:15:36]
my clients and customers now, but what
I’m trying to get at is my idea alone.

[00:15:41]
So I took action.

[00:15:43]
I could have thought, oh, I want to I
think this movie is going to be amazing.

[00:15:48]
Like, I just would love to be able to see

[00:15:50]
it, but, oh, you know,
I’ll just leave it at that.

[00:15:53]
But I took action and sent the email
and then sending the email

[00:15:58]
and communicating and and then asking the
question, well, could my company do that?

[00:16:02]
Now, keep in mind,
I knew nothing about importing, exporting,

[00:16:07]
distribution,
Texas coming out of the country.

[00:16:11]
I didn’t know any of that.

[00:16:12]
And I just said, I’ll do it.

[00:16:14]
And that idea alone made me close to three
million dollars in less than a year.

[00:16:18]
Well, from taking action then
record speed, the universe loves action.

[00:16:26]
So I know you just got it.

[00:16:28]
You just got to add
that missing piece that Mr.

[00:16:31]
Greedy and take action and the universe

[00:16:33]
will just allow things
to unfold before you.

[00:16:36]
Because when I reached out to them,
when I reached out to the secret people,

[00:16:41]
I had no intention of, oh,
how can I make huge money out of this?

[00:16:46]
I just thought what they
were doing was amazing.

[00:16:49]
And I just wanted to send them a gift.

[00:16:51]
And as a result, it I got
a huge gift out of that.

[00:16:54]
Yeah.

[00:16:55]
I think what’s interesting
is that you did not perceive the secret as

[00:17:00]
competition or you’re not thinking like,
oh my gosh, you’re doing this huge thing.

[00:17:04]
I’ve done this years ago.
This is old news.

[00:17:07]
This isn’t a secret.

[00:17:08]
I just know or not enough people bought

[00:17:10]
my book for this to be a bigger
deal of this kind of thing.

[00:17:14]
You didn’t look at it like that.

[00:17:15]
Yeah, I looked it interesting.

[00:17:17]
Yeah, I looked at it purely as, oh,
my gosh, this is going to allow people all

[00:17:22]
around the world to suddenly get what it
is I’m doing because, you know,

[00:17:27]
that was the biggest thing
when you think about it.

[00:17:29]
Twenty years ago,

[00:17:31]
people when I talked about the law

[00:17:33]
of attraction, they thought I was
talking about some sort of dating thing.

[00:17:38]
I didn’t really get what
it was that I was doing.

[00:17:43]
So I loved the idea that the secret was
going to really open people’s eyes up.

[00:17:47]
Because the thing is,
when you think about it.

[00:17:50]
A movie or a documentary,

[00:17:52]
many, many, many, many more people will
sit down, chill out and watch something,

[00:17:57]
then they will pull out
a book and read it.

[00:18:00]
Oh yeah.
Why it is.

[00:18:02]
So that’s why I just knew that the secret

[00:18:05]
was going to change so many lives,
because it was going to reach people

[00:18:09]
that would never in a million years
have thought about reading a book.

[00:18:13]
So yeah, that was, that was really
cool the way that they did that.

[00:18:17]
I love that movie still to this day.
I love that movie.

[00:18:19]
Yeah, that is very cool.

[00:18:21]
Now, tell me your first book that you
came out with at that point.

[00:18:25]
Where did you make it to your million

[00:18:26]
dollars five, six years
after your own welfare?

[00:18:30]
Yeah, so so what happened was

[00:18:34]
I was on welfare, really struggling,

[00:18:36]
and I decided and I was being
an entrepreneur, so I was still trying

[00:18:41]
to make my business work
and it just wasn’t working.

[00:18:43]
And this is a swimwear one.

[00:18:46]
Ended up closing this women’s gym way down

[00:18:48]
and then started doing the personal
development course that I was selling.

[00:18:53]
So I was doing that and it
was going along beautifully.

[00:18:56]
And then the person who owned the global

[00:18:58]
marketing rights to that product
had a dispute with a printer.

[00:19:02]
They said, you haven’t printed it.
Right.

[00:19:04]
We’re not paying for it until you print it

[00:19:06]
free to say, well, we’re not going
to reprint it until you pay for it.

[00:19:10]
And then we’re stuck in this deadlock

[00:19:12]
on it for, oh, gosh, I think it was
about eight months.

[00:19:16]
And keep in mind that that was
a direct sales business.

[00:19:19]
Yeah.
When you’re in direct sales and you don’t

[00:19:22]
have a product to sell,
you don’t have a business.

[00:19:25]
Right.
So that went down the tubes.

[00:19:27]
So then I was kind
of struggling a little bit.

[00:19:30]
I discovered coaching.

[00:19:31]
I borrowed money to go
through coach training.

[00:19:34]
I started kind of coaching people.

[00:19:37]
And I really liked that because I loved
the idea of being out of work from home

[00:19:41]
and being able to choose my own hours
and the fact that it was in the personal

[00:19:45]
development industry
and I was helping people.

[00:19:47]
But at the time, I kind of felt
like an absolute fraud.

[00:19:51]
I felt ridiculous because my life
was in chaos, like I had no money.

[00:19:55]
I felt stressed and I felt like a crummy

[00:19:58]
money because I used to yell at my kids
and it was all just a bit a bit too much.

[00:20:03]
And and then being a coach,

[00:20:05]
I just like at the start, I just felt
like like who am I to coach people?

[00:20:10]
Like who am I to be, you know, trying
to get people to achieve their dreams.

[00:20:15]
But then I realized that the coaching is
not about being the expert or being this

[00:20:20]
perfect person or having
your life totally together.

[00:20:23]
It’s about taking clients through

[00:20:25]
a process and guiding
them and supporting them.

[00:20:28]
And, you know,
as long as you’re on the path to improving

[00:20:32]
yourself, you don’t have to be
the one that is like a guru.

[00:20:35]
You’re not sure, you know, consultant.

[00:20:38]
You’re not you know, you’re not
the person who knows everything.

[00:20:42]
So that that kind of made me feel better.

[00:20:44]
And I really loved what I was doing.

[00:20:47]
And around that time, my my accountant
actually came to me and said.

[00:20:55]
I know you’ve had previous experience
in direct sales and I am going into this

[00:21:03]
business and I would love
you to be my partner.

[00:21:08]
I’ve got lots of clients, but I
don’t want to talk to them about it.

[00:21:11]
And I know you’d be great talking to them.

[00:21:13]
And my logical mindset of identity
is like, what are you doing?

[00:21:17]
You said you’re never going
to get into direct sales again.

[00:21:19]
And but then something just kind of made

[00:21:22]
me feel like, oh, I got
to look at this anyway.

[00:21:24]
We went into a partnership and we
started promoting a course.

[00:21:28]
And it was very a very practical course.

[00:21:32]
It was based on real estate investing.

[00:21:34]
And my business partner was
an accountant, financial adviser.

[00:21:38]
What else was she?
She was like a tax person,

[00:21:41]
like all that practical,
what I call boring stuff around money.

[00:21:44]
That’s very important.

[00:21:45]
And so we went into partnership and about
six months in six or seven months.

[00:21:50]
And I actually woke up one morning with
a name wildly wealthy women in my right.

[00:21:56]
And I jumped online and I registered
the name registered domain name and then

[00:22:01]
did nothing with it for about
three or four months.

[00:22:03]
And then we were both
at an event in the US.

[00:22:07]
And I said, look, there’s something I
want to talk to you about and know.

[00:22:10]
This education that we’re
promoting is really helpful.

[00:22:15]
But I just think that the very fact
that I’ve got you to ask questions of and,

[00:22:21]
you know, I don’t feel stuck allows
me to move forward with this.

[00:22:25]
And I just think it’d be great to have

[00:22:28]
a whole community of of women
and really support them.

[00:22:33]
And so the idea was we would have while
Iraqi women mentoring program,

[00:22:37]
we would bring the real estate education
into the home study course into it.

[00:22:42]
But we would have wildly wealthy women’s

[00:22:44]
we could weekends a few times a year,
we would have weekly live calls where she

[00:22:49]
would talk about the practical side
and then I would talk about the mindset.

[00:22:53]
And we launched that program.

[00:22:55]
And literally within three months we had

[00:22:58]
something like seven hundred and fifty
women join and that was a three thousand

[00:23:02]
or so dollar program
at about two million dollars.

[00:23:05]
So, yeah, and that’s that’s basically how
I sort of started to make a lot of money.

[00:23:11]
And then I wrote my book because I used

[00:23:13]
all the practical I mean,
all the that mindset principles

[00:23:18]
to actually create the success, you know,
because remember, not long before that had

[00:23:23]
been one hundred thousand
dollars in debt and on welfare.

[00:23:25]
And by using all the things that I now
teach, I was able to just, you know,

[00:23:30]
ideas out of no way would pop into my head
and connections and people and all sorts

[00:23:35]
of things happened because I was
I was aligning my body, mind and spirit.

[00:23:40]
I was I was thinking the right thoughts.

[00:23:42]
And I was definitely taking action.

[00:23:45]
I was feeling like feeling so much.
Yeah.

[00:23:47]
It all just came together.

[00:23:49]
So I’ve had over the years,

[00:23:50]
I’ve had a few ideas that, as I said,
I literally just come out of the blue

[00:23:54]
and I take action on them and that’s
where they go.

[00:23:59]
I was joking to someone the other day

[00:24:01]
speaking of this,
or they’re just like somebody came to me

[00:24:04]
and they said, I’m an ideal man
like I can.

[00:24:07]
Every entrepreneur has ideas,

[00:24:10]
but it’s implementation or
taking those action steps.

[00:24:13]
That’s the difference between successful
entrepreneur and the dreamer, essentially.

[00:24:18]
Yeah.
And I think the thing is,

[00:24:20]
quite often we become entrepreneurs
because I we like the freedom.

[00:24:25]
We don’t want to have a boss.

[00:24:26]
We want to be able to choose our hours.

[00:24:28]
But what happens is many entrepreneurs

[00:24:30]
then end up just working all the time,
like constantly working.

[00:24:34]
Yes, they have a million ideas,

[00:24:37]
like they’ve got too many
ideas and that’s the problem.

[00:24:40]
They start one idea and then they come up
with another idea and they go over here

[00:24:43]
and they get another idea and they go over
here and and and they just don’t kind

[00:24:48]
of focus and narrowing on one thing,
really make it work.

[00:24:51]
So that’s really

[00:24:55]
interesting.
That’s cool.

[00:24:56]
So tell me about the wildly wealthy women.

[00:24:59]
How has that evolved over the past?

[00:25:01]
We’re talking fifteen, twenty years.

[00:25:03]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:25:04]
So wildly wealthy women started as,
as I said, a business,

[00:25:08]
a business partnership between
myself and my accountant.

[00:25:11]
And it was very much focused
around real estate and around.

[00:25:15]
And I would bring the mindset in.

[00:25:17]
But then over the years I started to bring
more of the things that I created success

[00:25:22]
around because
we saw lots of women creating lots

[00:25:25]
of success in the real estate industry
and buying properties and doing

[00:25:29]
developments and doing all
sorts of amazing things.

[00:25:32]
But then I started to bring in
things about becoming an author or

[00:25:36]
becoming an info partner
or becoming a coach.

[00:25:39]
And I started to bring that into the mix.

[00:25:41]
And then, after all,
it’s probably about six years or so

[00:25:47]
something happened with my business

[00:25:49]
partner and she really
needed to take a step back.

[00:25:52]
And so I ended up just
taking over while were.

[00:25:55]
Myself and my plan was, get this,
so my plan was initially,

[00:26:00]
can I’m going to close it down for a while
and I’m going to reopen it up and just

[00:26:03]
focus purely on becoming a coach,
becoming an author,

[00:26:06]
becoming an entrepreneur,
creating online courses and products

[00:26:11]
and becoming a coach,
all those sorts of things.

[00:26:13]
And people could just do
the things that they wanted.

[00:26:15]
So that was the plan.
All right.

[00:26:17]
But I never did it.

[00:26:19]
I

[00:26:21]
never closed it down or never.

[00:26:22]
And I closed down and never started it
back up for years and years and years.

[00:26:27]
Yeah, ridiculous.

[00:26:28]
So I only just relaunched
it again last year.

[00:26:32]
And it really is more very much just all
the mindset principles for entrepreneurs

[00:26:37]
to to really rewire their mind to lots
of visualizations, lots of inspiration,

[00:26:43]
lots of mindset hacks,
but it only opens probably once a year.

[00:26:47]
And so currently it’s just a white list.
But all right,

[00:26:51]
it took me ages to reopen it because I’m
like all the other entrepreneurs,

[00:26:54]
got so many ideas just trying
to figure out which one to do.

[00:26:58]
So between the time that you closed it

[00:27:00]
down, in the time that I
guess you reopened it.

[00:27:03]
No.

[00:27:04]
What were you doing then?

[00:27:06]
I guess we just
bask in the glow of success for you.

[00:27:10]
No, no, no, no, no.

[00:27:11]
I get totally bored basking
in the glow of success.

[00:27:15]
No.
So I in about 2008, so about 11 years ago,

[00:27:21]
I launched the inspired
Spirit Coaching Academy because I had so

[00:27:25]
many women say, oh, my gosh,
I want to live your life like I want to be

[00:27:30]
able to choose when I
would choose where I work.

[00:27:34]
I want to be able to make
as much money as I want.

[00:27:36]
I want to be able to help other people.

[00:27:38]
I want to be able to spend
more time with my family.

[00:27:40]
You know, I want to do what you’re doing.

[00:27:42]
So I launched the inspired

[00:27:44]
Spirit Coaching Academy,
where I train and then internationally

[00:27:47]
certify people to become
law of attraction coaches.

[00:27:51]
So we don’t you know,

[00:27:53]
we dove into how to be a coach or
the practical aspects around that.

[00:27:56]
We give them lots of processes to follow
with when they’re working with clients.

[00:28:01]
And then we also dove into the mindset

[00:28:03]
work and all the stuff
that I totally love.

[00:28:06]
And and so, yeah,
I’ve been doing I’ve been really focusing

[00:28:09]
on that probably for the
last ten years or so.

[00:28:13]
Yeah.
And loving it.

[00:28:15]
So we’ve we’ve trained thousands
of people around the world to be Wow.

[00:28:18]
Attraction coaches.
All right.

[00:28:21]
So let’s talk about marketing,
because something like that, you need

[00:28:24]
a big audience in order to be as
successful as you are. So how do you get

[00:28:30]
the word out that you have this
this process, this intellectual property

[00:28:35]
kind of thing? How do
you get the word out?

[00:28:37]
Yeah, well, I still kind of do it.

[00:28:40]
The way I did it is because you’ve got
to remember that when I first started

[00:28:44]
in business as a coach and really trying
to build that business, I had no money.

[00:28:51]
So I was one hundred thousand
dollars in debt and on welfare.

[00:28:54]
So I had to become very creative as
to how to actually launch my business.

[00:28:59]
And this was before social media.

[00:29:01]
So, yeah, it’s a different
story than to make that claim.

[00:29:06]
Exactly.

[00:29:06]
So I had to kind of figure
out how to get the word out.

[00:29:10]
So

[00:29:11]
I’m really good at low and no cost ways.

[00:29:14]
And I know there’s Facebook ads
in the school that these days,

[00:29:17]
but I still spend absolutely
nothing growing my business.

[00:29:21]
Wow, that’s impressive.

[00:29:23]
So for me, I like the way I look at it is
I’ve always thought and this is something

[00:29:29]
that Mark Victor Hansen,
who wrote The Chicken Soup for the Soul

[00:29:33]
books, and they’ve they’ve
they have published over.

[00:29:39]
I don’t know if it’s a billion
or half a billion either way.

[00:29:42]
It’s a lot.
Yeah.

[00:29:44]
So

[00:29:45]
he always said that you should use your

[00:29:48]
book as your business card,
and that is exactly what I’ve done.

[00:29:52]
So I wrote my book back in 2004
and throughout the book,

[00:29:57]
although it’s filled with all
the different processes and exercise

[00:30:01]
and things that I’ve done
to manifest money in my life.

[00:30:06]
Very much sprinkled throughout the book,

[00:30:08]
additional things like come back
to my website, you know,

[00:30:11]
come back to this particular URL
and and get this free guided

[00:30:15]
visualization, I’ll get this
free money tracking process.

[00:30:18]
So get this free
whenever it happens to be.

[00:30:21]
And so I’ve got it set up so that anyone

[00:30:24]
who reads my book comes
back to my Web site.

[00:30:27]
And the great thing about a book
is it’s obviously a printed book.

[00:30:31]
A lot of people these days only bring out
Abels or Kindle books,

[00:30:36]
but a print book is amazing because think
about it when someone gets a print book.

[00:30:41]
They usually don’t throw it in the bin

[00:30:43]
like they don’t throw it in the rubbish
that I throw it in the trash.

[00:30:46]
They keep it,
they to keep it on the shelf.

[00:30:49]
They donate it.

[00:30:51]
They give it away as a gift.
Right.

[00:30:54]
You know, whatever it happens to be.

[00:30:55]
But that book is always out there.

[00:30:57]
And if you’ve written the book correctly,

[00:31:00]
it just becomes like this
ongoing everliving business card.

[00:31:06]
And so I know that my book is really
helped in many,

[00:31:09]
many ways to attract people to me
because they come to my website.

[00:31:12]
They love everything about the law
of attraction, come to my Web site,

[00:31:16]
then they’re in my community and then as
well as the inspired

[00:31:20]
Spirit Coaching Academy,
because not everyone wants to be a coach.

[00:31:22]
I also have millionaire mindset

[00:31:24]
experience, which is kind
of the next level of manifesting.

[00:31:28]
It’s the it’s where we really get

[00:31:31]
in and start rewiring
the brain in an amazing way.

[00:31:34]
So they come to my community
and they see what’s available.

[00:31:37]
And quite often they’ll they’ll
purchase something.

[00:31:41]
They’ll or they’ll download another

[00:31:43]
freebie that I’ve got that I really feel
at my business, my business got my book.

[00:31:48]
It really has become my big business card
and consistently attracting people to me.

[00:31:53]
So that’s one way.

[00:31:55]
But when it comes to actual marketing,

[00:31:57]
marketing and I don’t do a lot of it these
days simply because I think I think

[00:32:03]
sometimes when your business gets
to a certain size and when your reputation

[00:32:09]
sort of grows to a certain point,
there’s a lot of word of mouth.

[00:32:13]
It’s a lot of someone reads a book and,
oh, my gosh, you got to write that book.

[00:32:17]
Oh, did you hear Sandy on a podcast
or did you hear about this?

[00:32:21]
And so it becomes a lot easier.

[00:32:24]
But when I was first starting out,

[00:32:26]
I did a lot of things like
sending out press releases.

[00:32:30]
So no matter what was going
on in my business,

[00:32:33]
I would always write press releases
and send them like a finished article

[00:32:38]
to the local paper, to the regional paper,
to the big city paper.

[00:32:44]
And I used to get a lot of press releases.

[00:32:47]
I went in, Oh, this is a really great tip.

[00:32:50]
I would go in lots of competitions.

[00:32:53]
I’m not talking about winning
a fridge competition.

[00:32:55]
I mean business competitions.

[00:32:58]
And I and I would always use the fact

[00:33:01]
that I had entered a competition
to get that information out to the media.

[00:33:06]
I would use the fact that I had been

[00:33:09]
shortlisted in a competition, I was
a finalist and get that out to the media.

[00:33:13]
And then I won quite
a number of business awards.

[00:33:17]
And so, again, I get
that out to the media.

[00:33:19]
And then any type of media that I got,
I mean, if you go to my website,

[00:33:24]
Wölfli wealthy dot com and you look
on the media page, you’ll see

[00:33:28]
so many articles and magazines
and and interviews me.

[00:33:34]
And the reason being is because
the media loves the media.

[00:33:37]
I know it’s all changing now
and I know it’s very different.

[00:33:41]
But the media feeds off the media and if
they see one story,

[00:33:45]
they want to be part of it and they
feel like that they can do a story.

[00:33:48]
So that really local

[00:33:51]
just in your free paper or whatever
happens to be local,

[00:33:55]
you’ll find that once you’ve done that,
larger media start looking at you.

[00:33:59]
So you’ve had lots of things happen,
like even in Australia is one

[00:34:03]
of Australia’s leading
national women’s magazines.

[00:34:06]
Got me to write an article,
a monthly article for quite a few months

[00:34:12]
all around the Secret
and the Law of Attraction.

[00:34:14]
So, yeah, pretty cool then.
A super cool.

[00:34:18]
So they reached out to you and said, hey,
you’re an expert on this.

[00:34:22]
Were you?
They Googled the secret and my name came

[00:34:25]
up and so they flew up to see me and talk
to me and said, yep, we want to do so.

[00:34:31]
They did they actually did two

[00:34:32]
two page spread on me and it was
called Oprah’s Aussie Secret.

[00:34:36]
And it was me and Oprah standing next

[00:34:38]
to each other, like superimposed,
but like we were best friends and talking

[00:34:43]
about and how Nicole Kidman used
the secret and how, you know,

[00:34:47]
I used the secret to change my life
and how Oprah left the secret.

[00:34:50]
And then from then I ended up doing,

[00:34:52]
as I said, a whole series
of articles that I write for Nice.

[00:34:57]
So then I had to bring in quite a few
clients and it would brought in a lot.

[00:35:00]
Absolutely.
Yeah.

[00:35:02]
Nice.
That’s incredible.

[00:35:04]
That is super cool.
So from the I guess from this whole law

[00:35:07]
of attraction thing,
was there ever a point when you believed

[00:35:12]
it seems kind of weird or seems kind
of silly or like how does this work?

[00:35:19]
I just wish for money and it just lands
in my lap or something like that.

[00:35:22]
Was there any doubt or maybe.

[00:35:25]
Yeah, I mean, what level of doubt?

[00:35:28]
I’m human and I have I’m a Gemini as well.

[00:35:31]
So it’s like this split personality,

[00:35:33]
very creative, one side and very like
questioning everything on the other side.

[00:35:38]
Sure.
So the first time I.

[00:35:40]
They kind of discovered the law
of attraction, I actually thought.

[00:35:44]
There was part of me that was like,
you know, it just seemed a bit we were,

[00:35:48]
you know, a bit New Age hippie
ish and I really didn’t know.

[00:35:53]
But I guess that we live in really,

[00:35:55]
really exciting times in that quantum
science is now able to validate a lot

[00:36:03]
of what was previously
thought of as very Wellwood.

[00:36:06]
And so,
yeah, so for me,

[00:36:09]
that that side of it really allows me
to go, okay,

[00:36:13]
this is real because there are times
that sometimes, you know,

[00:36:18]
the most amazing things that have happened
to me and it’s like,

[00:36:20]
oh, that’s just a coincidence or,
you know, what’s going to happen anyway.

[00:36:25]
Like I in my millionaire mindset

[00:36:27]
experience program,
I actually have all my students

[00:36:31]
share their successes because I believe
that by sharing a success and hearing

[00:36:36]
the success of someone else,
it builds people’s belief.

[00:36:38]
And when your life is built,
then you’re able to create more.

[00:36:42]
And some of the things that happen
even blows my mind like people have.

[00:36:48]
I had one woman had a ninety seven or
ninety three thousand seven hundred dollar

[00:36:53]
loan wiped off like they came to her
saying, we’re going to wipe your loan off.

[00:37:00]
I’ve had people that have manifested
you ten thousand dollars in a week.

[00:37:03]
I’ve had all these amazing things.

[00:37:05]
And even though I teach this and then

[00:37:06]
my students, sometimes I go,
oh my gosh, like

[00:37:11]
what’s going on?

[00:37:13]
And it’s so exciting to see other
people create money, miracles.

[00:37:17]
And I thought, as I said,
I’m here and I’m like everyone else.

[00:37:20]
There are times who I think is this just
all like we all like the placebo effect.

[00:37:25]
We just think it’s going to work.
And so it works.

[00:37:28]
But who cares?

[00:37:29]
Like, the bottom line is,
I think it’s fair.

[00:37:31]
The law of attraction is ancient.

[00:37:32]
It’s been around forever.

[00:37:33]
But we now have this not only
quantum physics, but neuroscience.

[00:37:38]
And they’re really understanding

[00:37:40]
and looking into the brain and seeing how
it works and and really, really,

[00:37:45]
really getting to that point where
we and I was actually listening

[00:37:49]
to a neuroscientist the other day and she
was blowing my mind about,

[00:37:55]
you know, she actually had pictures of how
the brain works and what happens when you

[00:37:59]
think and what happens when
you create a memory and why.

[00:38:02]
Twenty one days is no longer the amount of
time that you need to rewire the brain.

[00:38:06]
You need to go usually three,
three cycles of that,

[00:38:08]
say sixty three days to really
anchor something into your brain.

[00:38:12]
Wow.
Long term forever.

[00:38:14]
So many exciting discoveries when it comes

[00:38:17]
to the brain and the mind
and the law of attraction.

[00:38:19]
Wow.

[00:38:21]
That’s cool.
That is very cool.

[00:38:23]
So you mean twenty years into this you’re

[00:38:26]
still it sounds like you’re still
learning, which is impressive.

[00:38:29]
Yes, I know that’s the most exciting part,

[00:38:31]
because if it was just physical
attraction, this is what you do.

[00:38:36]
I’d probably be bored by now
and be off doing something else.

[00:38:39]
But because,
you know, they are discovering new things

[00:38:42]
and, you know, it’s just it’s also
exciting that to me, it’s all new.

[00:38:47]
And the thing is, I love to learn because
then I can go back to my students and then

[00:38:52]
give them more information
and help them even more.

[00:38:54]
So I think I think I was born to teach
only because I was born to learn.

[00:39:00]
I love learning.

[00:39:01]
I like I remember when I was one hundred
thousand dollars in debt

[00:39:04]
and on welfare and the things that really
that I loved more than anything was

[00:39:09]
reading a book and discovering
things and and going to a seminar.

[00:39:13]
And it was like, oh, like so exciting.

[00:39:16]
So yeah, I love learning and I
just love sharing what I learned.

[00:39:20]
Very cool.

[00:39:21]
So once you became a millionaire, did
you ever reach out to your ex-husband?

[00:39:25]
So how do you like.

[00:39:27]
No.

[00:39:32]
So we met in high school when we were 16
and we went out for about ten or eleven

[00:39:37]
years and then we got married
and pretty much straight away.

[00:39:40]
As soon as we had kids, I realized that,

[00:39:42]
oh my lord, we are not
meant for each other.

[00:39:45]
We just had a completely
different outlook on life.

[00:39:48]
And the thing was.

[00:39:51]
So so you have to understand that.

[00:39:53]
Yeah, yes, I’ve become a millionaire.

[00:39:55]
But he was a millionaire before me.

[00:39:57]
So when we split up,
he then went on to create a very

[00:40:01]
successful multi million like
he’s a multi multi millionaire.

[00:40:05]
But I was the reason I was on welfare.

[00:40:08]
And I probably shouldn’t say this,
but I’m going to anyway.

[00:40:10]
The reason I was on welfare,

[00:40:11]
because I was not being paid
the right amount of child support.

[00:40:15]
So I was on something like one
hundred and five dollars a month.

[00:40:18]
So I’m on about wow.

[00:40:22]
Butthat’s the thing.

[00:40:25]
People that people who have businesses

[00:40:27]
and good, good accountants
and everything can juggle things.

[00:40:30]
So.
Yeah, yeah.

[00:40:32]
So I had one hundred five dollars
a month so yeah I was really struggling.

[00:40:35]
So no point pointing out to him what
I’ve done because he’s already done it.

[00:40:38]
Because the thing is he wouldn’t he

[00:40:41]
there’s not one speck
of him that would ever.

[00:40:44]
Ever believe in the law
of attraction, really?

[00:40:48]
Oh, gosh, no, we are polar opposites.

[00:40:51]
There’s not one

[00:40:53]
cell of his body that would think
he thinks I’m completely insane.

[00:40:58]
But the thing is, the law of attraction

[00:40:59]
works for everyone,
whether you believe it or not.

[00:41:03]
And gravity.
This is a man who totally believes that he

[00:41:09]
he is going to be
successful and that’s it.

[00:41:11]
And he just took action
consistently to do that.

[00:41:14]
So he created that.

[00:41:16]
So whether or not you believe it,
it’s working behind the scenes, right?

[00:41:20]
Yeah, well, yeah.

[00:41:22]
So if you if you believe it and you

[00:41:24]
and you understand it, you might
as well use it to your advantage.

[00:41:28]
Sure.
Interesting.

[00:41:30]
Let’s shift into your books because
you’ve written a few of them.

[00:41:33]
I have.

[00:41:34]
So tell me about just
how many books you have.

[00:41:38]
Gosh, I think I’ve been well,

[00:41:40]
I’ve written my own book,
How to Be Wildly Wealthy Fast.

[00:41:42]
And then I’ve been a contributor
to probably about another 10 or 11 books.

[00:41:49]
All right. So the wildly wealthy one,

[00:41:52]
that was the one and only one that you
did on your own, is that right?

[00:41:54]
That’s the one and only one.

[00:41:55]
And I have been trying to write
a number of books for many years.

[00:42:00]
I look back and think,
how on earth did I even write that book?

[00:42:03]
Because but I think the way I write
that book was because I was actually

[00:42:08]
teaching the principles
by telling seminars.

[00:42:11]
I was teaching it before webinars
and video and writing around,

[00:42:15]
just teaching it over the phone
every week over a period of weeks.

[00:42:20]
And then it started off as teaching it
every week for four weeks.

[00:42:25]
And then I expanded it six weeks
and then eight weeks and then 12 weeks.

[00:42:28]
And once I got to 12 weeks, I thought,
I can’t keep expanding this course.

[00:42:33]
And I’ve got so many great stories and so

[00:42:34]
many examples and so many processes,
I can’t keep expanding it because then I

[00:42:39]
have to increase the price and then it
becomes sort of too much of the people.

[00:42:44]
And I want to be able
to reach more people.

[00:42:45]
So I just took all the notes that I had

[00:42:48]
from creating that course
and turned it into a book.

[00:42:51]
And that’s kind of how
the book ended up being the

[00:42:55]
nice.

[00:42:57]
That’s pretty cool.

[00:42:58]
So how did you I’m curious about the book
thing, the marketing knowledge

[00:43:02]
for the book,
simply because I’m speaking to some

[00:43:04]
authors in a few months and I
just talking to other authors.

[00:43:07]
I’m always curious about how they went
on the road of getting published,

[00:43:12]
marketing, getting known,
all the stuff I love books.

[00:43:16]
Yes.
Books are my thing.

[00:43:17]
I love I love showing other people how I

[00:43:20]
did it, because I figure that if I’ve been
able to do it, then anyone can do it.

[00:43:24]
So

[00:43:25]
after I had the book written and then I

[00:43:27]
got an editor and I made it all nice,
then I decided to self publish because I

[00:43:34]
understood that if you want to get
a publisher, then potentially the book

[00:43:37]
might take, you know,
18 months or so to come out.

[00:43:41]
Like I did not want to wait that long.

[00:43:44]
My book was I knew it was going to be
my business card and I wanted it out now.

[00:43:48]
And we’re talking 15 years ago.

[00:43:49]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:43:51]
It’s a different world than for.
So I know.

[00:43:53]
I know.
So I was like, I, I want my book out now.

[00:43:57]
So I decided to I learned about
the whole bestseller campaign.

[00:44:03]
I learned about

[00:44:05]
releasing a book on a certain day
on Amazon and getting joint venture

[00:44:10]
partners to partner
with you to promote it.

[00:44:12]
So what I did was I made a list of about
I think there’s about 50 people that had

[00:44:20]
kind of in the same not not money mindset,

[00:44:24]
but in the same sort
of personal development niche.

[00:44:27]
So they were all about empowering people

[00:44:29]
and they reached out to them and told them
what book was going to be published,

[00:44:33]
when it was going to be released on Amazon
and asked them if they wouldn’t mind

[00:44:38]
supplying a bonus like a digital bonus
for anyone who purchased the book.

[00:44:44]
And as part of that,
they would have their name and their

[00:44:48]
website and a bit of information about
them and a link back to their website

[00:44:53]
for people to download their bonus so
it would become a promotion for them.

[00:44:56]
Wow.
So I reached out to these 50000 people.

[00:45:00]
I sent them my book because I’d already

[00:45:03]
had it printed and said, OK, this is
the day we’re going to do the promotion.

[00:45:07]
And I gave them all the information and I
think I had about twenty say they would.

[00:45:13]
And I got all the details up

[00:45:15]
on the website and, you know,
I had everything already.

[00:45:18]
And then I did a live tell,
a seminar to my audience.

[00:45:22]
And at the time I think my audience was
probably only about four thousand people.

[00:45:29]
But I let them know about the the book was

[00:45:31]
going to go live on this particular day,
and that’s when you should buy it.

[00:45:36]
And basically what
happened was on that day.

[00:45:39]
Lots of people bought the book nice,
I promoted it and it cost me nothing.

[00:45:45]
I think I sold probably close
to one hundred thousand

[00:45:50]
one hundred thousand dollars worth

[00:45:51]
of books in the first I
think the first month or so.

[00:45:55]
Wow.
And yeah.

[00:45:56]
And it really just allowed me, I guess,
more than anything allowed me to.

[00:46:01]
I sell a book about Bayeh,
get in front of the audience of those

[00:46:05]
people who became my joint venture
partners in that particular promotion

[00:46:09]
because they sent an email out to their
list and whether or not someone purchased

[00:46:14]
the book at that time, suddenly
my name was kind of in front of them.

[00:46:18]
And I always believe that a great way

[00:46:21]
to build your business is just
being known to a lot of people.

[00:46:24]
Right, the people that you’re known to.

[00:46:26]
And this is like a bit of a Hollywood
law of attraction thing.

[00:46:29]
But the more people that know
of you, it kind of rises

[00:46:34]
your away.

[00:46:35]
And it’s not just in the people that have
heard your name, but just generally.

[00:46:39]
And it just really helps.

[00:46:40]
So, yeah, I think I think that whole
process really helped to launch my book.

[00:46:44]
And again, I got a whole lot of different
media around that.

[00:46:48]
I made sure that I took screenshots of it

[00:46:51]
and I was above some other really well
known best selling books at the time.

[00:46:57]
I made the I think it was the business,

[00:47:00]
the Business Week best
selling list in the US.

[00:47:04]
Well, I think I was yes,
I’m like number five or something.

[00:47:07]
And and I wasn’t even
selling through bookstores.

[00:47:10]
I only sold on Amazon.

[00:47:11]
So it created a lot of a lot of attention.

[00:47:14]
And then I got a what do you call
a foreign rights agent, contact me.

[00:47:20]
And then they
took on the foreign rights to the book.

[00:47:23]
And I’ve got it translated into that.

[00:47:26]
Only about 11 different languages

[00:47:27]
at the moment, this Franco
Nigerian and Romanian and

[00:47:33]
all sorts of languages.
Yeah.

[00:47:35]
So, yeah, I did a lot of good.

[00:47:37]
That is cool.

[00:47:39]
That’s impressive.

[00:47:40]
So the next five years,

[00:47:41]
three years in the future,
where would you like your business to go?

[00:47:47]
Well, at the moment I’m focusing
on launching my own podcast.

[00:47:52]
So it’s.
Yeah, yeah.

[00:47:55]
It’s something that I wanted to do
for probably who knows about ten years.

[00:48:01]
All right.

[00:48:02]
I don’t know what’s been holding me back
because I love to talk about my topic.

[00:48:06]
So that’s launching
in the next couple of weeks.

[00:48:08]
That’s going to be called
wildly wealthy women.

[00:48:11]
And it’s all about money
manifesting in mindset.

[00:48:15]
So I’m excited about that.

[00:48:17]
And I really just want
to continue to do what I’m doing.

[00:48:19]
I want to reach more people because I feel

[00:48:22]
that when I transform someone’s life,
when I allow them to create the freedom

[00:48:27]
and the prosperity and the lifestyle
that they really love,

[00:48:31]
that it not only affects them,
but it affects the people around them,

[00:48:34]
affects the whole family
and potentially friends.

[00:48:37]
And, you know, it really
has that ripple effect.

[00:48:39]
And deeply, when I try and be able to be
coaches,

[00:48:42]
it’s really affecting a lot of people
because all their clients get affected.

[00:48:45]
And then my clients families and it
really makes a huge difference.

[00:48:48]
And and that’s what I’m all about.

[00:48:50]
I’m all about really helping other people

[00:48:52]
to be able to live the life
that they truly want.

[00:48:55]
Because having gone from welfare
to millionaire, I know the difference.

[00:49:00]
And not that everyone is out there being

[00:49:02]
on welfare, but I know what it’s
like to struggle around money.

[00:49:06]
And I know how

[00:49:07]
how I don’t know how scary that can
be and how shameful that can feel.

[00:49:12]
And and now that I’m a millionaire,
the lifestyle that that’s given me

[00:49:18]
and my kids like the things that I’ve done
with them, I’ve I’ve been able to take

[00:49:23]
my daughter on a shopping spree,
but instead of just down to the local

[00:49:25]
mall, I took her to New York
and and we had a blast.

[00:49:29]
And I took my kids
to track the Inca trail.

[00:49:33]
And we have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and
base camp on Everest and

[00:49:39]
swam with the dolphins in Hawaii and just
done all sorts of amazing, amazing things.

[00:49:44]
So it is going to be really fun.

[00:49:47]
And that’s what I want for other people,
because, you know,

[00:49:51]
I know when I had no money,
I think the main thing that really

[00:49:54]
affected me was I felt like I had
no choices and and no choices.

[00:49:59]
Feels like jail to me.

[00:50:00]
So I know that by allowing other people to

[00:50:04]
create more abundance and attract more
prosperity into their life,

[00:50:08]
it gives them the choices to to really
live a life that they love.

[00:50:12]
I like it.
That is super cool.

[00:50:14]
Sandy, where can people find you?

[00:50:17]

people so, they can grab that there. I love that.

[00:50:44]
That’s awesome.

[00:50:45]
Sandy, thank you so much
for being on the show.

[00:50:47]
I should ask you, just besides your
own book, do you have a favorite book?

[00:50:54]
Oh, someone asked me this the other day,

[00:50:56]
and I still don’t remember the name of one
of the books that I absolutely love was

[00:51:00]
a book by Mark Victor Hansen
and Robert Allen.

[00:51:02]
And it was a book that had
two books in one.

[00:51:05]
So on one side of the page
was very creative.

[00:51:09]
You know, that side of the brain story.

[00:51:12]
And on the other side of the page
was a very logical, practical steps.

[00:51:17]
And I can see the cover.

[00:51:19]
It’s purple and it’s gold and I
just don’t remember the name.

[00:51:25]
But it’s by Mark Victor Hansen.

[00:51:27]
OK, I’ll dig it up
and put a link in there.

[00:51:29]
That’s awesome.
So thank you so much.

with wildlywealthy.com.

[00:52:31]
Sandy, can you tell us the website again
where the listeners can get the all kinds

[00:52:37]
of stuff that you had?
Sure, wildlywealthyfree.com.

[00:52:41]
And I just want to finish on one thing
because because sometimes people sort of

[00:52:46]
hear my story and think,
oh, well, she’s so lucky.

[00:52:48]
She’s, you know,
she’s got it all together.

[00:52:50]
But I want people to know that I
dropped out of high school in grade 11.

[00:52:55]
I didn’t even finish high school.

[00:52:56]
I was the least lucky, least

[00:52:59]
likely person that people would
think would go on to create success.

[00:53:03]
All I wanted to do is go down to the beach
because I live on the Sunshine Coast

[00:53:06]
and it’s like
so people look at me and think, you know,

[00:53:09]
oh, she can you know,
she’s got it all together.

[00:53:12]
She knows what she’s doing.
But I was the least likely. Dropped out

[00:53:15]
of school in high school, had no
connections, had no one that had money.

[00:53:19]
I had, like there was no way.

[00:53:21]
So I even had no real skills.

[00:53:23]
Like, there was really no way that you would
think I would go on to create what I had.

[00:53:27]
So I believe that if I’ve been able to do
it within the law of attraction,

[00:53:31]
rewiring my mind and taking action,
then anyone can do it.

[00:53:36]
It’s really about setting that intention.
I love it.

[00:53:39]
I love it.
That’s a-

[00:53:42]
I don’t know, it seems like a good
place end there because it’s so true.

[00:53:45]
The limitation is all in our mind.

[00:53:47]
Right, exactly.

[00:53:49]
