Two ways this current season is making me money 💰
My human design is no joke.
As a generator, my line 2 and 4 are so in sync with how I live my life - loyal, long term and in it through the rollercoaster of whatever the universe wants to throw my way.
Sometimes I stick things out for WAY too long! I’m learning to let go a bit sooner because I know how it can work against me.
Those close to me have been a little taken aback of late by what I’ve dubbed this current chapter of my life -- my slut era!
What does that even mean?
In a (Coco)nutshell it’s me not giving a toss what anyone thinks.
It’s only taken me 37 years to get here but finally I’ve arrived and it feels so fucking good.
I’m aware that everything has a cycle and this sLuT eRa phase of mind may be a short-lived one, though I do hope it’ll stick around for a while yet.
So what exactly does the sLuT eRa represent for me personally and professionally and more importantly…
How is my sLuT eRa making me more money?
Personally…
I used to give zero fucks about what other people thought…
And I was absolutely lying to myself with this belief lols. I cared ENORMOUSLY about what friends and family thought of me, how they perceived me and the decisions I was making.
Of course, this was all subconscious and it was the biggest cock block I ever set for myself, in all areas of my life.
Glad to say, I am finally at peace with this part of myself and have no care in the world anymore when it comes to other’s opinions of me.
That didn’t occur overnight. It’s taken many tanties to get here but in return, my nervous system is giving me HUGE high fives.
Thank goodness I woke up from my self imposed misery!
My sLuT eRa is me doing whatever the hell I want, whenever I want, however I want and wherever I want -- without having to give the “why” to the “who”.
So how did I get here and how have things changed?
I’ve set incredibly high expectations for myself:
…About the people in my life (I’m finding fewer is far better) and no longer accepting crumbs from those who are in my life.
…About what I say yes to and what I say no to, giving myself plenty of time to just live life and not rush into things. I used to feel like time was running out so I’d make decisions very quickly. Whilst this is not a bad trait, it’s also good to take time to think and see how things play out. I know now it was because I was trying to control everything.
…About justifying myself: I felt like I did this with everything. And now when people make comments about my personal situations, what I choose to spend my time on or who I spend time with, I shrug and it doesn't phase me. I don't even feel the need to rebut their beliefs.
Professionally…
I’m doing things in unconventional ways, which although may be absolutely questionable, I have ZERO fucks to give about it because my nervous system finally feels at peace.
…Leaving social media for my personal brand and focusing solely on this blog, the Library and my CEO clients (some have called me insane and yet I have never felt so spacious and happy about the service and mission I am on. Doing it everyone else’s way had me resenting my personal brand so much…cue incoming theme). I’m not black and white and I am approaching this in a ‘go with the flow’ kind of way; It’s confusing and annoying people and rubbing some up the wrong way…why do they even care?!
…Having my attention spread across four completely unrelated businesses in completely different industries. Many say it’s important to focus on ONE thing and become really good at it. And whilst I do agree with this, I also know that’s just not in my makeup. My sole focus is business. Sure, they might be different businesses but the focus is the same. Create, build, manage, rinse and repeat.
…The child care I’m building in central Queensland has a few hurdles to overcome (build cost has doubled in 12 months, the commodity price is falling etc…); instead of feeling super defeated about this, I see it as something that’ll happen later than I had originally planned. There’s no point getting my knickers in a knot over it. That happens when we have set deadlines for ourselves.
What if you were more flexible with your deadlines, how would that feel? Less intense? Less pressure? More space… oof.
In the past few years, my priorities have 100% shifted.
Once upon a time it was all about ego. The money I made, the lavish trips I was taking, the accomplishments I was racking up.
Nowadays, it’s all about my nervous system - she absolutely leads the way. She tells me how rich I am and that is always very much reflected in my bank account.
Case in point. As I was writing this blog post, TWO opportunities came flooding to me. Proof that the way I am doing things is working beautifully for me:
A new childcare site in South East Queensland: This came across my desk through connections I’ve made over the years. I’ll undertake due diligence, run the numbers and do my research. It likely won’t be aligned with my investment rules and criteria but it’s good to dot your i’s and cross your t’s.

A new lead for some large cleaning contracts: This is through another connection of mine whom I simply asked “can you please connect me with your contact? I feel there’s a good synergy between the services we offer.” It may not lead anywhere, though it’s worth asking the question and investigating further. 9 times out of 10 it’s a dead end, but by asking every time, you get that one epic time where it sticks!
So while my plate is already pretty full, I’m always open to opportunities that are aligned with the asset classes I focus on in my portfolio (currently business and trading).
And if you’re thinking, “Coco, WTF is an asset class?” don’t be put off by the terminology, check out the bottom of this blog, I’ve made you a free download that explains what an Asset Class is - and most importantly, why you need to know more about them.
In the wise words of one of my heroes and powerhouse women, Serena Williams
I’ve always been an extremely disciplined individual; though now my discipline is focused only on what’s right FOR ME -- not for everyone else. This has shifted the needle massively in the way I am living, achieving and getting EVERYTHING I want.
I urge you to lean into your own sLuT eRa…
