"If you are going to be the butterfly, you have to start living like the butterfly while you are still developing instead of living like you are still in the cocoon." This wisdom recently hit me from TikTok of all places. And yet, it resonated. It resonated because how many of us are trying so hard to grow, but are living our day to day like we are still in the growth phase? Reading that best selling self improvement book, only to pick up the next book when we are finished? Doing so in the spirit of "I will put it all into practice when I have obtained all of the information" instead of putting it into practice once the first cover closes? How many of us are playing small when we want nothing more than to be seen? Staying quiet when we know the answers to the questions out of fear of not having the answer yet to the question that will come next? Listening to all of the podcasts and Ted talks while adamantly nodding along in agreement with the words and concepts, only to stay silent the first time one of those same concepts is brought up in our social circle? How many of us are striving to become that butterfly, putting in all the work, and doing our best to heal ourselves, only to continue living in the cocoon? Why wouldn't we want to be showing those beautiful butterfly wings off that we worked so hard on? Fear? Insecurities? Lack of Self-Worth? It's time to put those on the shelf. From here on out, if we put the work in, then we are showing up. We are showing up the brightest, most beautiful versions of butterfly-selves and leaving those cocoon's behind. We only get to fly for a little while. No more playing it safe on the ground. #mindsetmatters #motivation #growthmindset

How Biased Are You? Ep.2: Confirmation Bias Do you ever find yourself seeking out information that supports what you already believe? That’s Confirmation Bias at work. For example, picky eaters may search for information to confirm their initial belief that a certain food doesn’t taste good. How It Works: You might ignore or dismiss information that challenges your views, focusing only on what confirms your beliefs. This can limit your perspective and prevent growth. How to Fix It: 1 - Actively seek out opposing viewpoints. 👂 2 - Be open to changing your mind when new evidence comes in. 👐 3 - Ask yourself: “Am I looking for facts or just validation?” ✅ Being aware of confirmation bias helps you make fairer and more informed decisions. 💯 Stay tuned for the next episode to talk about Anchoring Bias and follow me! 😉 #theamrway #confirmationbias #selfawareness

But here's the kicker—we're not just talking about pushing through self-doubt; we're talking about using that newfound confidence to build a seven-figure Amazon business with Helen Cheng! Now, let me tell you a bit about Helen. She's not your typical entrepreneur - she's one of us who decided to listen to that nagging voice inside that said, "There's got to be more to life than this." Helen took the kind of leap that most of us only dream about. She left behind a cushy corporate career to chase after a life that truly lit her up inside. And boy, did it pay off!

Helen's story is a powerful reminder of what can happen when we believe in ourselves, embrace change, and have the courage to define success on our own terms. Trust me, you don't want to miss this episode. Whether you're dreaming of starting your own business, battling with self-doubt, or just need a boost of inspiration, Helen's journey has something for everyone.

𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 👨👩👦👦 At 4 AM, I woke up, completed my routine, and gently nudged my husband to rise. Once he was ready, we turned to our 2-year-old and softly whispered, “𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩.” By 5 AM, we were in an Uber, heading toward the railway station, for a 6-hour #journey in a train. Exhausted yet determined, we reached our #destination, freshened up, and had lunch. As our little one took his afternoon nap, I felt a wave of #tiredness wash over me, but I knew the day was far from over. At 6 PM, I woke up, preparing for two important #commitments—one was a casual meeting, and the other, was a #podcast recording. Despite the #fatigue, I made my way to the #location and fulfilled both #promises. By 9:30 PM, I was back home, had dinner, and went to bed, knowing I had another early start the next day for a family #puja. Once again, I woke up at 4 AM, completed my #routine, and we set off. It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. The moral of this experience is : We often expect others to keep their promises, but what are we doing to honour ours? True commitment lies in fulfilling what we’ve vowed, no matter the #challenges. When we say something, it becomes our #duty to act on it. So, ask yourself—are you holding yourself #accountable to your promises? #CommitmentMatters #PromisesKept #FulfillYourWord #LeadByExample #Responsibility #legacybuildinginfinance #legacybuildingcoach #ndtalks #financialliteracy
