Making Money Online: Why It Feels Like Gambling (and How Your Mindset Is the Real Jackpot)

Let’s be honest…
If you’ve ever Googled “how do I make money online?” at 2 a.m. while scrolling TikTok and stress-eating snacks—you are NOT alone. 🙋‍♀️

I was there too.
Confused. Frustrated. Drowning in information but starving for results.
I honestly thought everyone else had cracked the code… but me? Nope.

Here’s the truth no one tells you:
Your mindset is 80% of the success formula.
The rest? Strategy, tools, and tactics.



The Online Business Overwhelm Is Real

The online space is noisy and chaotic.
Affiliate marketing, drop shipping, coaching, paid ads, blogging, crypto, UGC, Amazon stores…

So many strategies.
So many “experts” promising you six figures in six minutes.
So much FOMO (fear of missing out).

At times it felt like I was gambling.
I kept spinning the wheel:
Pick a business model → invest time + money → hope it works.
(Spoiler alert: I mostly lost.)

What I Learned the Hard Way

I spent YEARS and thousands of dollars chasing shiny objects before finally realizing three huge lessons:

1️⃣ You MUST invest in yourself.
Not just in products or software… in you.
Learn skills. Join communities. Get coaching.

2️⃣ Systems > Guessing.
Stop winging it. Once I plugged into a simple, proven system, the overwhelm stopped and my results started.

3️⃣ Mentorship collapses time.
Having someone who had already built what I wanted changed the game. I stopped wasting months trying to DIY everything.

BUT… none of it mattered without the mindset piece.

The Secret Ingredient: MINDSET

Here’s the part people don’t talk about enough.
Mindset is everything.
It’s the invisible difference between the people who succeed and the people who give up.

Mindset Blocks That Will Sabotage You

Imposter syndrome
Perfectionism
Fear of failure (or even fear of success!)
Overthinking + analysis paralysis
Procrastination disguised as “I need to learn more first”

Sound familiar? (Yeah, me too.)

I had to unlearn all of these.



Mindset Shifts That Changed My Business

Progress = perfection.
Start messy. Tweak later. Done beats perfect every single time.

Consistency is queen.
It’s not about working 12 hours a day. It’s about showing up daily, even in small ways.

Detach from outcomes.
You won’t always get instant results. That’s normal. Keep going.

Stop comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.
Focus on YOUR journey. Stay in your lane.

Think long game.

Real businesses take time. If you want fast money, go buy a lottery ticket. If you want real freedom, commit to the process.

🏆 My Personal Truth: Mindset + Mentorship = Freedom

The strategies I teach WORK… but only when combined with a resilient, empowered mindset.

Once I paired:

  • A simple, repeatable system

  • Consistent daily action

  • an “I’m in this no matter what” mindset

...the results came.
Not overnight. But they will come.

The Bottom Line

You can have all the tools.
You can have the best course.
You can have the perfect strategy.

But if your mindset isn’t strong, you’ll self-sabotage before you ever see success.

When I finally realized my brain was the real bottleneck… everything changed.

🎯 Your Next Step

If you’re done feeling like you’re gambling with your business and ready to finally create the freedom you want, here’s what I suggest:

1️⃣ Start with your mindset.
2️⃣ Plug into a system that WORKS.
3️⃣ Surround yourself with people who have already done what you want to do.

If you want, I can help with all three.

👉 Just [click here] or DM me “Online Freedom” and I’ll send you my exact blueprint + coaching system that helped me go from overwhelmed to profitable.

You deserve this.
You’ve got what it takes.
Let’s do this together.

Feel Great, Live Free – My Not-So-Graceful Leap into Affiliate Marketing

Ever ugly cried in a school parking lot? Because I have. And not the cute tear-in-the-corner-of-your-eye type. I mean the full breakdown, mascara running down my face, wondering how I was going to keep my job, keep my daughter healthy, and keep my sanity — all before noon. I did play the game I was supposed to play: two college degrees, career as a dental hygienist, work hard, pay off debt, have children. But somewhere in the book, I must have turned the page where it said doing all that would get you broke, burned out, and barely scraping by. Then came the straw — or, actually, the entire hay bale — that broke me. My daughter got sick again. At school. And anxiety came crashing in like a tsunami this time. I had no choice but to take a leave of absence from work. We were already struggling to make ends meet financially. I had no Plan B. Just one terrifying question: "What do I do now?" The answer? Working from home. I would've given up a kidney (maybe both) to be able to...

If You Care What You Eat, Care What Goes On Your Skin

  Introducing The Olive Tree People The future of skincare is waterless. Some brands now replace the typical 70% water in formulas with nutrient-rich plant elixirs – like olive leaf extract – making products far more concentrated and effective us.olivetreepeople.com . If you’re mindful about what goes into your body, it’s time to be mindful about what goes onto it. Your skin is your largest organ, and much of what you apply does get absorbed. In fact, one study found that skin absorbed an average of 64% of the contaminants it was exposed to truenatural.com . In short, a lot of what we slather on our skin ends up inside our bodies truenatural.com – so if you wouldn’t eat a certain ingredient, you probably shouldn’t be feeding it to your skin either! Your Skin Absorbs (Almost) Everything 💧 Think of skincare like “food” for your skin. Our skin isn’t a perfect barrier; it can act more like a sponge. Scientists have shown that skin can soak up a significant portion of chemicals...

Working From Home Was Wrecking My Body (Until I Did This)

🤯 Working From Home Was Wrecking My Body (Until I Did This ) Let’s get brutally honest here… Working from home sounds like a dream—until your pants no longer fit , your energy disappears faster than your toddler’s snack stash, and your idea of cardio becomes walking from your desk to the fridge. As someone running an online business from the comfort of stretchy pants and a chair , I didn’t realize how quickly I was trading in my health for hustle… until the scale gave me a reality check. If I hadn’t found a simple system to fix my gut, fuel my brain, and stop my all-day snack parade, I’d be the size of a small cottage by now. And listen, I love a good cottagecore vibe—but not on my hips. So let’s talk about it. 🪑 The Sedentary Job Struggle Is Real When you work a desk job (especially from home), you move way less than you think. You’re no longer walking across the office, hustling through a parking lot, or commuting anywhere that requires a bra. Here’s what I noticed: My mood tan...
