In 2018, I was stuck in a cycle—the same routine, the same career, the same life—year after year. I had built a successful career in banking, but something inside me knew I was meant for more.

I was tired of waiting for the “right time” to go after the life I actually wanted. So I did something drastic.

I booked a one-way ticket to the UK.

I had no safety net, no clear plan—just a decision to stop settling and start figuring it out. It was terrifying. But deep down, I knew that if I wanted a different result, I had to do something different.

The Fear of the Unknown vs. The Fear of Staying Stuck

People often say they’re afraid to take the leap into entrepreneurship. But for me, the fear of staying stuck was bigger than the fear of failing.

I had spent years waiting for something to change—hoping for more freedom, adventure, and impact. But the reality? Nothing changes until you make a move.

💡 The biggest lesson? Fear doesn’t go away—you learn to move forward despite it.

📌 If you’re waiting to feel “ready,” you’ll be waiting forever. The Fear Zone guide will help you reframe fear and start making moves today.

Starting From Scratch: My First Year in Business

When I arrived in the UK, I had no idea how I was going to make money. I wasn’t an entrepreneur yet—I was just someone who had taken a leap and now needed to figure things out.

Then, life threw me another curveball.

I met my now fiancé, and soon after, we decided to travel through Southeast Asia together—because at the time, getting visas for each other’s countries would have cost $7,500. Money we didn’t have.

So, we lived off $7 a day in Indonesia while I opened my laptop and asked myself: "What can I do to earn money online?"

That was the real start of my entrepreneurial journey. It wasn’t easy, but it was possible.

Juggling a Growing Business, Motherhood & Moving Countries—All At Once

By 2020, my business was taking off. I was landing clients, building momentum, and finally feeling like this crazy leap of faith was paying off.

Then, I found out I was four months pregnant.

💡 I was now:
✔️ The breadwinner for my family
✔️ The bottleneck in my own business
✔️ About to become a first-time mother

It was overwhelming, but I kept going. Over the next few years, I moved countries multiple times, navigated postpartum depression, and rebuilt my business after setbacks.

💡 And through all of this, I realised something powerful:

👉 We overcomplicate success.
👉 Fear tricks us into thinking we need more time, more skills, or more certainty.
👉 But the real secret? Just keep taking the next step.

What’s Keeping You Stuck? (Hint: It’s Not Lack of Strategy)
