And those money mindset and purchasing a rose farm have more to do with each other than you’d think. Denise first had an urge to purchase a country home in sunny Australia while she was pregnant with her second daughter.  She then decided to go to open houses for the fun of it with her husband.  And then promptly proceeded to fall in love with the first rose farm she saw.  It wasn’t easy making that property hers.  The biggest problem wasn’t a mysterious 3-year curse (true story!) or that her brokers and advisors discouraged her from the purchase. The biggest problem was herself.   She felt like she wasn’t allowed to have a home purely for rest and relaxation. She wasn’t allowed to buy a weekend getaway property when she already had her dream beach house. And she sure wasn’t allowed to have a space in the countryside as a female entrepreneur.  And it took a lot to get to a point where she was okay with taking the plunge.  This relates to the work Denise does with women where she gets them to stop thinking of money in strict boxes and start asking themselves questions like ‘how much joy am I allowed to have?’ and ‘how does the money I make fit into that.’ It also relates to Denise’s teachings about women charging what they’re worth and then getting to enjoy the benefits of having that money.   In today’s episode, Denise takes us through the lessons the farm taught her in setting goals, balancing them with excess desire, and how you ALWAYS need to jump before you’re ready.  Not bad for a simple rose farm!   Here’s a peek at what else you can expect: Why Denise operates...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/cTVhHT0LtJl5rjm1cQy1LOj4djnWmXO4Z7FmQ2qDFkc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM0OTg1LzE2Njk3/Nzc3OTItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
