"I was able to pull myself out of that dark place"

Before this program, I had experienced a lot of ill-health, I had all my savings stolen then I lost my job and our home due to Covid. I felt my life had been hijacked by the people around me and then by Covid 19. I was in a dark place. I could not go back to my previous career and with 2 children to support on my own I needed to find a new focus and a way forward. 

Because of the Lifebook program I was able to pull myself out of that dark place, take time out to focus on what I really wanted instead of what other people always wanted or needed from me, start to believe once more that what I want for my life is really possible and find a new direction. 

Since embarking on the Lifebook program I found a temporary job that is fun and interesting. I improved my skills in trading on the stock market and now have a very modest income from that which I believe will keep growing over time. I have started one business on my own and have a small following of very loyal clients and will soon start another business with a good friend. So I have come a long way from being unemployed, broke and in a tail spin and I now believe I can get through this and come out stronger. And maybe at some point meet a like-minded someone I can share my journey with.
