Hello world!

Hello! And welcome to Thrive&Earn! I am Hila WIlling and I am super passionate about sharing my experiences of building an income online while still maintaining the freedom to do the school run.

My children are the most important part of my life and I decided that I was going to quit paid work in the academic world to do the hardest unpaid job of all – raising my kids.

As the kids got a bit older and more independent I started blogging as a creative outlet and before I knew it, my blog had grown and I discovered a hitherto unknown community online.

After years of blogging and Youtubing for the joy of it, I realised that I could be earning a livelihood form doing the thing that brought me joy. That is thriving! You thrive when you can earn from doing what you love.

I have done a lot of things that have earned me money online and I am here to help you do that too.

Thriving also means that you have to get the mindset of thriving. For many years I accumulated a lot of knowledge about making money online and did it but until I fixed my mindset that things shifted for me. That is why I include mindset as one of core pillars of this site.

So grab a cuppa and have a browse through the posts and resources available here.

Learn to Say No

Don’t be fooled into thinking that to be open minded and to embrace life you have to say yes to everything and everyone all of the time.

Learning how to say no will help you to stay focused and prevent you from taking wrong turns.

Learning to say no will allow you to say yes to more things that are in line with your values.

A lot of us are not taught how to properly say no. Nor are we taught that “no” is a complete sentence.

We are taught to justify, explain, rationalise. But you dont need to . Its okay to say “no”.

Here are some “no” statements to try the next time you want to keep space for things that are important to you –

“No”

“No thank you”

“Thank you. I will take time on it.”

“Thats not my cup of tea”

“Nah thanks”

And sometimes just a blank stare before changing the subject.

Actually, you can accept praise

Yes, you can accept praise. A big part of growing your confidence and courage is in accepting praise.

When somebody praises you for something, dont discredit them using the standard “Oh anybody can do it”.

Accept the praise with grace and openness. A simple “Thanks” works really well.

You are unique and are full of talents. You may refuse to see it but when other people acknowledge it – dont force your perception of yourself on them.

Take the compliment. Smile. And go boldy forth living your best life.

Get Happy!

Did you know that a positive attitude contributes to success in life?

A study by Stanford Research Institute reported that 87.5% of people’s success can be traced their positive attitudes. The amazing thing about the study was the finding that only 12.5% of their success was attributed to aptitude, knowledge or skills.

That means it ain’t about what you got but about how you use it and frame it. That’s the essence of mindset right there.

Try to keep your focus on the positive – having fun in any situation can help you to build courage and confidence.

Never stop dreaming

Never stop dreaming and let go of embarrassment. A fear of looking silly, inexperienced, dumb or weak holds back so many people.

Don’t be one of them – today make a commitment to let go of this fear of making a fool of yourself. Other people’s opinion of you are none of your business – for the most part people are just living their lives doing the best they can.

Your ideas, voice and creations are uniquely you and add to the vast sum of humanity so don’t hold back your true self.
