Mindset & Emotion January 15th, 2018 I was laying on my couch the night before I started my journey around the world. I left my corporate job working for a $400 million company making around a $70k salary, to have only $5,000 in my bank account. My dream was to travel the world empowering and impacting people to see that their dreams could come true too, but I had NO clue how I was going to pull that off. That moment feels like yesterday, I was filled with anxiety, but I remember the deeper emotion of this burning passion within, telling me it was time to let my heart be free, to make my dreams become a reality, to start the largest peaceful army of love. Fast forward 12 months, I had grown my social media following to 20k, I had travelled to 25 cities, 11 countries, crossed the 6-figure mark in my online coaching business and empowered 100s of others to create more freedom in their life. Most likely if your reading this you’re someone like me who craves freedom, to impact humanity all while travelling the world. Here I will share with you the three secrets that it takes to create this type of freedom by simply being you. How to Manifest Your Impossible Dreams to Become Your Reality (How I started an Online Business While Traveling the World) Colleen Gallagher 60 First, I want to share a quick overview of what inspired me to take this massive action with my life, to become more committed to my dreams instead of the illusion of fear. I believe, deep down we all have a deep commitment to our dreams, it’s just believing your dreams are actually possible. I was blessed to be diagnosed with cancer at age 14. There was a life changing moment when I was at the hospital and a dad yelled at a mum saying: “The only reason we are in this position to not be able to pay for our daughter's treatment is because you are a stay at home mum.” This created a deep subconscious addiction to money, where I created unhealthy success by doing things to get lots of money. This was to make sure I was never in a position I would die because I didn’t have enough money. I went to college, got a job with a $23 billion company making around $70k in salary not including benefits. I was able to travel all over the USA but deep down I was so unhappy, my soul was dying, I knew I was destined for more than doing something just for money. I was suffering deeply from anxiety and mild depression. However, at age 23 I remember it was my BIG dream to live internationally, which I thought could only be done through a corporate job and a university degree. I remember after getting promoted quickly I decided to ask for that and they told me it would be five years. I would have been 28 and I remember I was not willing to compromise those years of my life for my dream to come true. I went online looked for visas and saw it was $20 for a one-year visa to New Zealand. I applied, got it within 24 hours, and made the commitment to save for three months to leave my job and move across the world to New Zealand. Once I moved there, I manifested a job with a $400 million company within four weeks. It was then I realised that I broke every paradigm possible, none of this was about me. My life had been saved from cancer to live a life where I empower and educate others to show them what is possible for them. My life was to be a story told to others as proof that when you follow your heart to make your dreams become a reality, the universe will support you in the process. The three things I’ve learned in my short 25 years of life I want to share with you to make your dreams become your reality as quickly as possible are: 1. Connect with Something Far Greater Than You From a young age I would see people suffering in all different way: pain from cancer, people passing, homeless people, car accidents, etc. I would see all these people being affected by deeply emotional situations, what I learned is 61
