During our sailing trip in South Pacific, I had the opportunity to visit a pearl farm and The Pearl museum in Tahiti and by the time we arrived in Bora Bora, I was so inspired by the process of culturing pearls, that I got into writing mode again and had to share the lessons.

I thought about some of the defining moments that influence positive and permanent change in our lives.

I reflected on those moments in my own life and the patterns in other people around me that had set in motion positive change. Inspired by the beauty and luster of the Tahitian Black Pearls, I was drawn to the idea that a woman could culturing her life.

The cultured life is about deliberately creating the business and the life you desire. I am passionate about this idea and movement, which is a key part of the mission with the new  group program Pearls and Purpose.

It’s about systematically taking the right action steps and using the right tools to create a business around your passion and living your best life now.

The process of culturing pearls ensures that we don’t have to wait for a 1 in 15,000 chance to find a natural pearl, you create one. By inserting the right size nucleus inside of the oyster, you can determine the size of pearl you will achieve.

It’s the same with our lives and business, you can help the natural process, build on your natural potential by taking deliberate action in the direction of your goals.

Here are three steps to creating  “The cultured life™”, which I hope will inspire you to take action on your business and true desires:

#1 Dream

Some people have given up on their dream because other people told them “be realistic”, “that’s impossible”, “get real” or the all too famous “dream on”. Don’t rest the fate of your dreams in someone elses hands. You have to believe in your vision.

The other challenge is seeing past your circumstances and into your possibilities. It is important to get to a place where your vision is what drives you. This process is not easy, but it’s simple if you are committed. Know that regardless of your situation now, this is not how it will stay. Regardless of any doubt or anyone who doesn’t believe, stay steadfast and keep moving.

#2 Decide

The key is to release the fear of missing out and make a decision. Decide that right now you will not settle for normal and that you are meant to make an impact.

Decide that you are the gatekeeper of your life and that from this moment on, you are living on purpose and stepping into your cultured life. Know that it is OK to live a lustrous life (to wake up happy and fulfilled) and that your luster will not offend others but inspire them to live their best life too. It’s your divine duty. You’ll be surprised how many women wake unconsciously feeling undeserving of all the good the Universe has to offer.

#3 Dare

Brands need to be visible and as Maya Angelou powerfully said when you let your light shine you give others permission to do the same”. Dare yourself to get visible and step out in faith on your dreams. Don’t let the fear of failure hold you back.

Personally, whenever things didn’t work out as planned, they always paid back invaluable lessons for the next chapter in my life. I’ve learnt not to be too attached to my plans, but to stay focused on my goals, knowing that there is more than one way to achieve anything. Have faith in yourself and dreams, no one can do that part for you.

You don’t need to DIY everything and feel confused and alone. There are tools, systems and training that will help you get there with greater ease. If you are ready to get started, learn more by clicking here.

Finally, BELIEVE! BELIEVE! BELIEVE and never give up on you!
