A Wrap-up of 2022 and a Plan for 2023

A Wrap-up of 2022 and a Plan for 2023

2022 has proven itself to be my “annus horribilis” with a number of serious health complications raining down on our family.  Thankfully we have reached the other side of it with some sort of normality and life continues – albeit with some changes.

The year has disappeared in a blur of doctors’ appointments, hospital visits and LOTS of stress.
We made the very tough decision to sell our dream block of land in Hobart, Tasmania.  We will still retire to Tasmania but with a different plan that we have not fully formed yet

Mostly I managed to keep it all together, but at times I have NOT felt I have been living my best life. 🙁

I CAN be grateful that we were able to travel and were able to see our gorgeous grandsons TWICE this year.  As much as it is super fun Facetimeing 5&3 year olds, nothing beats “Nana Cuddles”

All in all, I can be thankful for every moment good and bad.  I can be intentional in closing off 2022 and be ready to face 2023 with renewed optimism and joy.

My word for 2023 is “SPACE”  space for me to…

  • breathe
  • relax
  • connect and just
  • BE!!

I have planned a number of catchups with friends, weekends away and plenty of “me time” ( how long has it been since I had a massage??)

What are your plans for 2023?

Why not complete the “Life Audit” to see where your life is at right now and give yourself some hints on what to address this year.

What is Sunshine Cash?

What is Sunshine Cash?

What is “Sunshine Cash”?

The whole concept of “Sunshine Cash” is the total opposite of “Saving for a Rainy Day”

It is, of course, important to save an emergency fund for unforeseen events, but (in my opinion) to have money in the bank for money’s sake is just not necessary.

In no way would I EVER advocate spending more than you have, but cash is there to be spent. ALWAYS pay your bills first, then allow funds for savings and general “adulting” then allow some “Sunshine Cash” for just having fun.

My Story..

I have been on this planet for 50-something years now and have learnt a lot in that time ( as we have all) Some of the lessons I have taken to heart and have created a happy content life that is MY version of pretty damn good 😊 All while NOT “keeping up with the Jones’ (or the Kardashians)

I vividly remember as a child, the excitement of the big Saturday paper.  Mum would read the lifestyle, cooking and fashion liftouts, Dad would have the news and sport, my brother would race for the comics and I just LOVED the ad catalogues.

The  JOY of browsing each page and tenderly touching images of items that seemed only for the “rich”.  With my hands on an image, I could close my eyes and imagine exactly what it would be like to have that thing. The way I felt, the touch,  the sounds, the smell.  Ahhh bliss!!

Little did I know that I was manifesting my ideal life even as a youngster.  I always knew what my ideal life looked like.

My life is not “frugal” in the traditional sense of some ( I do not scrimp on every penny) Instead, I know what my ideal life looks and feels like and actively work toward that goal every day.

Over the years I have been told MANY times how “Lucky” I am and my answer has always been “I worked bloody hard to be this lucky” The truth is though… I am LAZY 😊 I actually don’t like to work too hard, but I do work hard for my money and I expect my money to work hard for me.

Why Do I Want To Be A “Princess”?

Why Do I Want To Be A “Princess”?

There is somewhat of a backlash to girls and women wanting to be a “princess”.  After all, in this modern world can’t us women be so much more than a figment of prettiness that relies on a saviour in the form of a man?

Well…DUH!!   Of course ?     I do not aspire to be a Disney Princess nor an actual Royal Princess -that appears like faaaaaar to much work.

What I DO aspire to is the perfect life that most little girls are led to believe that a Princess has.

Waking up in a huge fluffy soft bed ( where even so much as a small pea creates discomfort) surrounded by woodland creatures and twittering birds.

The sun is shining as she slips into a lovely outfit and partakes of high tea in luxurious surroundings.  If there is any light work to be done, it is met with a merry song and is never a drudgery.

Her prince is dashingly handsome and treats her with the love and adoration that befits her – and she reciprocates. TOGETHER they live happily ever after.

I guess it is not so much the idea of being a princess as such but rather  it is the idea of being  the heroine of your own story, whatever that looks like.

I ask you WHAT IS SO WRONG WITH THAT!!!

So… Use the good china, Wear the jewellery, Bathe with the nice soap.  Who is more important to use it for than YOU!

Be the heroine of your own story.

My Top 3 Tips For Living Your 10/10 Life.

My Top 3 Tips For Living Your 10/10 Life.

1: KNOW what your ideal life looks like

Dream, really image yourself living your ideal life. What does it look like? Who is in it? Where do you live? What do you do every day?

You need to be REALLY specific here.
Start from the moment you open your eyes. What is your bed like? What do you do first thing?  Now get up, what do your toes touch on the floor? Is it lush carpet or cool polished timber floors?   Do you go directly to the kitchen to have a glass of fresh squeezed OJ or do you make your way to your spa-like ensuite for a vitalising shower under the glorious rain head while rubbing your body with luscious body wash.?

What is next? Breakfast, yoga, a run or quiet reflection on the patio overlooking the mountains?

How do you dress? What are your plans for the day?

Keep going until you complete your ideal day until the moment you slip your body back into that comfortable bed you rose from this morning.

You can create a number of these ideal days. You might have an ideal work day, an ideal Sunday and an ideal family day

2: CHOOSE to live that life NOW. 

Pick one or two things that are less than ideal and start slowly upgrading.
Simple achievable upgrades are the lesson here, you want each upgrade to be a regular part of your life.

3: Don’t STRESS.

If you are feeling stress about an upgrade in any way, it may be that you are trying to jump too many steps.  Is your Ideal Car a brand new Mercedes or BMW but for now you have an early model Toyota?   Start small, set your intention for that new car, buy a key ring with the logo on it, look at slowly updated your Toyota. Look at the price of older Mercedes’ or BMW’s ( you might be very surprised)

Be – Do – Have

An exercise in creating YOUR ideal life.

Be, Do, Have exercises have been around the self help circles for a long time. The intention is to show your mind what can be.  It is more than a “fake it and make it” folly, it is more about opening yourself up to the possibilities of what your best life FEELS like.

I like to take some quiet time most mornings, in that time before you are fully awake, and just BE.  See yourself in that ideal life.  TRULY be there, what does it feel like?

The following prompts can help you guide your thoughts as to what you can  BE, can DO and can HAVE.

Hi There,

Are you happy with where you are in life right now? Or, do you wish life was.. well..MORE?

Everyone has different goals and dreams…

Some are trying to change the world…
…others just want to settle down and live a long healthy life with the people that they love the most…
some want financial wealth…others want fame and prestige..

And then there are those that want it ALL! They want everything they can get out of life…

What about you?

When you look in the mirror, are you satisfied with the person you are today… or do you dream about the type of person you want to become?

There Is A Little Known Secret Why Most People
Never Truly Get What They Want Out Of Life…

They don’t know actually what they want.

That may sound like an easy excuse, but it’s true…

Beyond not knowing what… many people also don’t realize that they CAN have anything they want…

Some people – especially us women – don’t think they deserve to be truly fulfilled and happy.

And that’s a big problem…

Overcoming those nagging doubts and inner speech that hold you back is the first step to making a lasting change in your life and finally becoming the person that you’re supposed to be…

And sadly, very few people ever become truly happy…

Many resign themselves to a life of struggling just to get by… or hold themselves back from embracing true, lasting happiness.

YOU don’t have to live that way.

Life IS meant to be LIVED and LOVED

And, There Is A Simple Way To Get
Everything You Want In Life…

You truly can have anything and everything that you want in life…

And it all starts with the first step…

You must first KNOW what you want to be able to build the type of life that you want and deserve…

I’ve seen people NOT living the type of life they deserve to live.

I’ve seen people struggling day to day…

You don’t have to live that way.

That’s why I’ve created this very special book…

Over the years, I’ve put together a proven roadmap for creating the type of life that you want to live… If you follow what’s inside this book, you truly can change your life… for the better… forever!

So… Who the heck am I ???

I’m Sue Josephson from Sunshine Cash. Firstly.. a HUGE welcome and thank you for allowing me into your life in this small way.   I do appreciate that your life is SUPER busy and your inbox is a pretty crowded space.

Before I launch into a whole cliched “About Me” spiel, firstly let me tell you what I am NOT!

Unlike a lot of online Coaches, Gurus or Self Proclaimed “Experts”
I don’t have a fancy degree or walls lined with certificates in shiny frames, in fact I did not go to university at all.  I did complete year 12 at high school, but with NO CLUE as to what I want to be “when I grew up”

I don’t really have a Rags to Riches story.  Sure I have been tight on cash, but never really DIRT POOR for any lengthy period of time.

(I do have a story of how our last $20 was spent of food and a hail storm left our kitchen window in the pot of savoury mince I had made to last through the entire 7-10 days until we were to see any further income…  You can read about that here)

I have not ever earned the “average” wage.

What I AM though is resourceful.    I have dreamed BIG most of my life.

Even as a girl, I could spend hours in my room looking at catalogues and touching a picture and just immersing myself in what MY life would look like if I had these wonders.   Oh the JOY!!

Fast forward to the late 1990’s and 2000’s and the “Self Help” gurus started really showing up.

All of a sudden I could see that “The Law of Attraction” was something I did unconsciously everyday and “stuff” would almost “automagically appear”

I know you may think it is all IMPOSSIBLE and a bit “airy fairy” or “woo woo” but I am going to share with you the EXACT methods I use to create MY ideal life and how You can too.

So, buckle up lovely, you are in for the ride of your (ideal) life.

I cannot wait to see you RISE.

    4 Simple Rules to Create a RICH Life

    4 Simple Rules to Create a RICH Life

    When you think of RICH does the image of money and wealth immediately spring to mind?  For most people it does, but did you know that the dictionary has many definitions of the word RICH and only one has to do with actual money.

    However, by following these 3 simple rules, you can become financially rich.

    Rule Number 1:  Do Not Live Above Your Means.
    I think everybody knows their income should be higher than their spending to be able to achieve financial stability. Certainly, my philosophy of making my cash work hard for me has been the cornerstone of creating my “Sunshine Cash” lifestyle

    Rule 2: Save Up and Invest
    Again the common thinking is to save the balance between your income and outgoings and invest to create further income.  Planning income for your future self is a wise decision if you do not to be still working 9-5 well into your 80’s.

    Rule 3:  Improve on Rules 1 & 2.
    It is easy to plan and budget your expenses. The issue comes in the practice.  So many have the greatest intentions only to slip back to bad habits in a month or two.  It is VITALLY important to keep checking in with yourself and keep yourself on track to achieve your long term goals.

    Rule 4:  Do Not Apply These Rules to Just Your Money.
    To have a truly RICH life, every area of life needs to follow the first 2 rules.
    Let’s see how this can be applied to the 8 life areas..

     

    Life AreaRule 1:

    “Do Not Live Above
    Your Means”

    Rule 2:

    “Save Up and Invest”

    Financial WealthSpend less than you EarnSave and Invest the left over money after expenses
    Home and EnvironmentHave a home that suits your lifestyleMaintain your home to keep it in good condition.
    Family & FriendsHave hundreds of “Friends”Nurture and protect true friendships that see you through thick and thin.
    Romance / PartnerBe too busy to give your partner time. Taking them for grantedTaking time to connect on a personal level often to keep the spark alive.
    Health & WellbeingOvereat and don’t exerciseHave regular check-ups with health professionals.
    Career & BusinessJumping from one job to the next often.Creating a long term career that creates job satisfaction.
    Personal GrowthBeing constantly stressed and busyAllowing some “Me Time” to create balance and unwind.
    Fun & RecreationBeing constantly stressed and busyFinding time to have fun, engage in a hobby or just relax with friends

    Take some time and consider how can you apply the 2 rules to your life in all areas.
