- Thank you to those of you who requested this video! So here are my thoughts and things that have worked for me in relation to work and money during a recession. Specifically, to those of you who had big plans for this year (didn’t we all!!!) I hope that this video is positive and instead helps you to focus on achieving what’s in our control. I also share with you my Law of Attraction vision board, how I think it works and how to get a board (or Law of Attraction notebook if you prefer) set up. Enjoy!

Covid was a blessing in disguise for me, allowed me to pay off a good chunk of my debt! I was lucky enough keep my job and work from home so still had my regular pay. I realised how much money I was wasting in my daily life, so it taught me how to budget effectively.
I’ve paid off both my credit cards and close to paying off my overdraft!
@ShariGetsit Did you find that a lot of your money was spent on train fares, after work drinks/dinner, eating out at lunch and starbucks? I have saved so much extra money working from home by not having these extra expenses.
Plant Beret hahaha, that summary was too accurate! The accumulation spending here and there really adds up!
Staying at home has helped so much!!
I love hearing people share how they are taking control of their finances, making smart money decisions and improving their life as a result. Sounds like you are creating a great financial future for yourself! Congratulations! Keep it up! 👍
Honestly....I lost my job in march...i have gotten money from unemployment in the USA. I did not have credit card debit thankfully but now i have come to the point where I am selling luxury items. At first i was distraught but now i that one day i will buy new items when I'm in a better place. I use one debit card no room for shopping unnecessarily. Everyone stay healthy!😷
Loved this Sophie! I think it’d be neat for you to have a money course to teach this in detail. I’m sure it’ll sell out and you’ll help a lot of people, mainly women.
I’ve got one debit and I spend spend spend haha
Sorry to hear this joyce but atleast you have a food attitude towards money and im sure things will get better soon
I relate to your situation @Joyce . I have been without a job since March and it’s been so hard to at least get an interview. This happened in the moment I was transitioning from engineering to fashion business, plus moving to New York. So, I know it’s difficult but I just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Stay safe! Good vibes 😊
Me too Joyce... positive outlook is everything.
I so wish you would start a second channel that covered finances/career/motivation. I know you have said that these kinds of videos don’t get many views compared to the luxury/shopping ones but I love them & genuinely find them more interesting. 😊
2020 definitely not the best year for most of us. But it lets me finally have the time to take care of my body. I finally got time to lose some of the weight I wanted to for ages, went to a dermatologist and get the one mole that I always wanted it out🤣 Most importantly I did my first ultrasound checkup and finally know where my serious period pain came from😟 Did a surgery to remove the endometrial cyst and recovering. Well...2020 thought me to really take care of myself I guess🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for always being so kind, positive and realistic. I am a concert pianist, so 2020 is a complete disaster for me careerwise. It was supposed to be a big year, lots of tours and recitals that had been planned 2 years in advance got cancelled. Nothing compared to people losing their lives, of course, but it wasn't an easy to adjust. Always watching your channel to brighten my day!
Love the vision board. I do mine in writing, helps me do flow charts/where to move to next. More like a roadmap. Like others said covid was a blessing in disguise. We were going through a major home remodel when it hit. But the blessing was that because we weren’t going out we paid it all in cash. Took no loans like we were thinking. It’s also allowed us to save money and be able to splurge on things that we’ve been wanting since the sales.
2020 was tough for most people... but what these troughs do is that it makes us clearly see what has been working, and what we've been trying to make it work by being forceful. Looking at people who lost jobs, there were many issues for most people in the industry, at the work place, before this hit them. Not to mention, all parents who were scrambling and traveling hours and hours to get to work, rush home, take care of their kids... none of these things actually makes sense. When we have no choice, we have the choice to look at WHY, and what we actually want and deserve.2020 is the perfect year for life design... which this video is really about. Great video, Sophie!
I was born in 1970. So need that sweater!
I want one too!!!
Me too!!!
They’re by Bella Freud. I was born in 1980 and I won’t wear them because I’m scared people not in the know will think I’m declaring I was born in 1970 hahaha.
Honestly Sophie, these are some of my favourite videos that you do. I too had loads of debt when I was young, it was only when an ex sat me down to tot it all up that I got scared (he'd been through it too), and I worked really hard to get it organised and paid off. It's really important to have finances under control ESPECIALLY when you're into luxury. Lots of good advice. I might give the vision board a go, I've never done it before but a lot seems unachievable or out of reach right now, the focus could be helpful. 💖
Ahhh so excited for this video. I remember asking for more career/study style videos from you, and I'm so so grateful for this! I'm very new to the professional world, so this was rather helpful.
On to some good news from here - after quitting my awful job this March due to the coronavirus, I applied to LL.M. programmes (both to upskill, and to give myself something to do at home). Sooooo guess who's going to do her masters in law this year! Mad props to your channel for being such a solid source of motivation through and through for so many of us, Sophie.
Sophie, have you considered starting a second channel focused on business? You will do very well!
SPOT ON with letting go of employees that they wanted to get rid of prior to the recession. I've seen and heard this happening a lot!!
Hi Sophie!!! Don't know if I made it first today but if not I was close!! Vision boards are a great thing, I found a very old Filofax (remember them lol) in which I had written a list of things I wished to achieve, and all these years later I have managed to. Astonishing!!
Your comment made me laugh because I have gone back to using a Filofax. I don't trust tech.
I use a smartphone but I love my filofax
I love these videos too Sophie! Just as much as the shopping and bags etc. These videos really highlight how business savy you are, how motivated and driven you are, and how all of your life experience - the good and the bad! - has been ultra funneled into wisdom and growth! I really admire you for this, more than the financial gains and how gorgeous you are, your heart and your devotion to being a genuinely kind and motivated human being LEGITIMATELY make you one of my greatest role models. I don't own a single luxury item, I'm not really a very trendy or fashionable person, and I still live with my parents because I'm studying medicine, lol. From the outside, it seems like there's no reason for this to be the case, but you are one of my heros, and it's because of the way you approach life with so much intentionality and passion, and how kind and generous and respectful you are, to yourself and others. Thank you so much for all of the love and support and joy you put out into this world, God bless you and David! Lots of love from a grateful subbie! 🌼💛
Thank you for this topic and reminding me about goals at a time where I am WFH since March and have stalled on all I planned to accomplish due to feeling depressed and lazy. I also realized the reason I never unpacked my vision board when I moved to this state for my dream job is that I'D ALREADY GOTTEN EVERYTHING I PUT ON IT!!! I must have been crazy not to consider how powerful that sort of subliminal motivation must have been when I looked at it every day. Thinking back, I created it when I was in the midst of multiple struggles that I was able to overcome. I hope anyone who sees your video will consider the concept and be inspired. The act of just putting it together will lift your mood as you consider life's possibilities. We will all get through this :)
My Partner was due for a promotion just before covid hit, but once covid hit they started laying people off, unfortunately none of it was due to covid it was seemingly a bad business move but as the timing goes they could blame it on covid. They put the remaining staff on either 50% or 80% pay. He was willing to wait it out until they restored full pay. the date of restoring full pay was being pushed back further and further so he started looking for a new job and we were both surprised at the amount of jobs that are out there. he now is starting a new job with higher pay and a bigger company with opportunity's to work in other country's. just shows even tho times are hard it can be better.
Thank you for the financial advice. I have done all of the things that you have talked about. Consolidated your debt!!!
Consolidation is the best, wish I’d done it a while before I did! Hugs to you my friend!xxx
Just love your energy Sophie! I work in Marketing and I'm always down for advice on work, finance etc.
Hi SophieSho!!! I LOVE this video! You are so right about this time not being a negative thing for everyone and some of the positives that have come out of it. Thank you so much for sharing your vision board! It reminded me how much I’ve been neglecting my own and I really need to regroup and refocus. As always, you offer such A-1 quality content and Im so glad you choose to share your life with us! Much love to you and David. Sending hugs and love from across the pond!❤️❤️
Sophie, you should be a motivational speaker. Period.
I am unemployed since August. In April I had the COVID-19, but I was grateful to have my job and I recovered very well. I will take a course this month and to continue looking for a position. I believe we need to stay positive and calm. I am grateful that my family in my country is fine, and no COVID related issues. Here in the US a lot of people is having a very hard time. However, I feel a lot of people lives in a bubble here. They don’t know other realities. Great topic in this crazy time that we are living ✌🏼🙋🏻♀️
I feel the same way about the bubble situation, people have no idea how bad the situation is in other countries outside their reality
This was such a great video! Thanks sophie for sharing your wisdom! I agree that people can still be hiring in an economic downturn. I was transitioning jobs over Covid and ended up losing the new job but was surprised by how many interviews I was getting. I did end up finding a new job so if anyone is still looking, stay positive! I'm intrigued with this vision board concept and definitely will try it!
I love it when you do these videos thank you
Please do more of these! I loved it and it made me feel so much better for my promotion potentially being cancelled (I got the job 3 days before lockdown and heard nothing at all since). I feel like if I had you as a mentor I would achieve phenomenal things. Thanks so much!! X
***update - the promotion I got before lockdown and I was told wasn't happen had been confirmed that it is now on and I get my new job ASAP!! Sophie you are my good luck charm!!! ***
I know a lot of people has suffered because of COVID, but 2020 has been my best year yet, I’ve learned so much about myself, made so many positive changes & received some amazing opportunities. For some strange reason I always seem to do better in a recession or tough times. I just purchased a new cork board to make my new vision board, it’s almost creepy how well they work for me too, thanks for the great tips, I might paint mine white too!
I got hired for my first digital position in march 100% remote permanently right after the stay at home order was put in place here in the United States. It was a career change, too. I got lucky and it’s the best thing that’s happened for my career. Because I work from home I can focus on all the other things I want to do for my career in my downtime. I have all the time in the world to learn more about digital marketing and UX now that I work in the field. Don’t have to worry about commuting to work everyday and the work life balance is amazing.
That’s brilliant to hear, I’m so pleased for you!xx
Hi Sophie! I loved this video - such great information for these strange days - and vision boards are amazing!! You look stunning in leopard btw. Love that top! Have a great day!
2020 ruined my only opportunity to relocate to USA with the company I work with from dubai. It was my dream to work in USA, everything was almost done then within a week covid hit and damaged by lifetime opportunity. However I'm thankful that I still keep my job and healthy, life is full of opportunities and other good things to look forward to
Actually, similar thing crossed my mind, how everyone (me too) considered USA as a dream country. Now, seeing how the governments are handling it, I couldn’t be more happier to be living in a country that didn’t impose strict movement measures, but moderate ones. It helps my mental health so much knowing I’m not “restricted “.
Hi Dana, it’s great to see you are still so positive, that’s such a hard thing to be once your dreams are changed. Stay positive, the universe has a funny (sometimes heartbreaking) way of giving us exactly what we need when we need it ❤️
Praying for good to come 🙏♥️
@@caleb.b.t thank you 😊
I had high hopes for 2020. I consider myself lucky that my business revenue was halved during lockdown. My purchase motto is ' Would I regret not buying that'. I can't get my head around how other influencers continue to buy things from Chanel virtually every week and others have more stock than Louis Vuitton. Strange times. Hope your bunnies are well.
Omg Malaysia is on your board! You’re going to LOVE it! I should write in some recommendations for you ❤️
Thank you so much Sophie! I needed this. At the moment I really hate my job, the management is making awful decisions and we, the employees have to undergo it all... I keep on going because I know I need to fight through this. Not easy, but we’ll get there 😄
Hi Sophie, this video couldn’t have come at a better time. I have last week consolidated my last bit of debt and will do everything to pay it off within 12 months. Yes repayments will be high and it will be hard for a while but 1 year is very motivating. Thanks to your videos which I binge watched, I decided to end debt for good. Thanks for being a wonderful inspiration and a lovely, humble lady. Lots of love xx
Hi Sophie! I really enjoyed this content and would like to know more on how you budget, and organize and plan your goals. Like you, I’ve always been a goal driven person but constant learning is always important. I am in my early 20s and you have taught me so much from your experiences! Thank you!
Love your advice!! In my industry (educational technology) business is booming! I have also seen a lot of jobs on LinkedIn for UX researchers. Also agree with you that this "pause button" has helped me take time to think about things that are important to me. After lockdown is over, I intend to travel more and won't use the excuse "I can travel next year" since there might not be a next year.
My fiancé and I aren't "struggling" financially. But 2020 turned our plans upside down. I quit my job in January and had plans with our savings for wedding, future business ventures, etc. We ended up having to use the money for rent during quarantine. Didn't get to do what we wanted, and now we are trying to figure out where we want to go with our goals from here.
I completely agree with you, this year being the year for companies of getting rid of employees who don’t do any job properly, some even left by themselves. And being the year of changing the workplace. Watching this video made me feel happy that I’m not the only one thinking this.
During 2019, I was looking and planning everything out for 2020. I knew I had to change my occupation due to my current working environment. It‘s only a matter of time until the company can‘t afford us while there isn‘t any work to be done. I would have done a course (in May) in order to be prepared in an office job and change at the end of the year. At first I thought, due to the situation, this will never happen and I‘m stuck. All I can do is being patient, focus on myself and make a new plan appropriate to this situation. The course was offered again in fall, which was great and the exam would have been this Friday… has been postponed. I know I will get to my goal but currently, it‘s all about patience.
Thank you for the tips and for talking about the vision board. It's a really good idea if you need to stay on track and not get distracted and discouraged.
Hey Sophie! I’m a new subscriber to your channel so.. hi! This is a great video, I lost my job in April and I’ve been struggling ever since. Thanks for sharing your tips!
Btw the whole vision board thing is seriously magical. I’ve been jotting down goals and things I want to buy/get and most of them came true already! It’s so weird but it works!!
Hi Sophie! We need more videos like this one! Greetings from Cyprus!
These tips are very helpful, insightful, and applicable in most cases. You are honestly my trusted financial advisor/therapist that changes my perspectives and approaches for many things. Thank you very much, Sophie! :)
I enjoy your videos about investment, money and careers. It motivates me and you inspire me into getting a vision board. Now I have a vision board hanging above my study desk.
I accepted a new job just before lockdown and started in June. Whilst a few people in my life were concerned, it was a rare opportunity that I would have always regretted missing out on. There are doors opening all the time, even in a recession.
I put an idea of the job I wanted and the salary on my ‘goals’ list (my version of the vision board) and I do think having it on there helped me to focus on what I wanted.
Thanks Sophie... great content here, it’s also encouraging and very practical.
Thanks Sophie. Another amazing video! I really enjoyed the section about the vision board. I might do it later this week for 2021 and Promotion is definitely on the list! For inspiration, I see you put travel and lux wishlist on the board. What else will you put on yours?
I love that you have luxury but never push it and show ppl how to save and be mindful.
Thank you sooo much
I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now and I really adore your personality!! Like omg I wish I could also be like you in the future but right now I am not seeing any hope in my life.
Hi Sophie
In 2020 - I was meant to go on a kid-free holiday & expecting a pay rise at work, but instead got a temporary pay cut and halt on overtime.
Where I live we are managing to pull through and going through a mini-boom in my industry.
So I decided to change jobs (after 9yrs) and I'm moving for a 30% pay increase and treated myself by buying my first chanel bag 😅
I hope you are keeping safe and healthy. 🥰
This was a really good video, and I most definitely needed to hear this! I have a job thankfully but wanted to get promoted, patience is a virtue this year for sure! 🤞🏻
I remember last year watching your vision board video and it inspired me to create my own. So I added luxury things, travel, gadgets and also a plan to start my own business. I work in a dead end job in CS so I’m over it lol I’ve always wanted to start my own business so I thought why not add the tools I need to the board. So I added an iPad and a MacBook since I didn’t have a personal computer any more and once I leave my job I want to have that all ready to go. I didn’t know how I was going to afford it but I added it anyways. Well back in May I was able to purchase it and purchased the domain for my blog as well 🎉 it’s actually creepy to see the board coming to life (I actually forgot I added the iPad on there) but I’m so grateful you influenced me to start one 😊
I agree vision board is about intentionality, it's not that you "attract" what you put there, is that putting it where you can look at it and work towards your goals.
These videos are so beneficial and inspiring. Thank you Sophie
I was only half paying attention until you mentioned promotion! I don't think I'm the one who comment it on your channel (if I am, I forgot) but that's exactly what happened to me and I was quite bummed about it. I'm a researcher and with so many folks at the company I work at either let go or furloughed when they work in operations....I was kind of surprised I was doing fine (aside from promotion on-hold company-wide) since my job isn't strictly necessary unlike others. Now I know why, upper management is quite happy with my work and taking this opportunity to let go of some folks not based on job but the work they did make sense. I've been sulking and procrastinating making new goals, but you've inspired me to jumpstart that again. We are never going to go back to now it was, the situation will get better but still different. Instead of waiting, the sooner we adjust to it the better....*sigh*
This year, 2020, has been a horrible non-year and I feel sorry for those who lost relative or friends to the Covid-19. I had a premonition that 2020 would be an awful year and I can't wait to put it behind us. Also, the mood board looks cute and a cheerful idea.
I paid off about $8,000 in debt during Covid. I did do a balance transfer for a credit card which helped a lot.
Thank you Sophie, these are always my favourite videos of yours! 💚🌷
Hi Sophie. Excellent video as always - I feel like the universe is trying to tell me something. This is the second time today I have heard about vision boards. I need to revamp the one I had for 2020. I love making lists, writing things down, having goals - but I oftentimes get so caught up in the "what am I doing with my life and how am I going to get there" that I never take time to just the process, map our what I want and just work towards it. Granted I am only 23 so I could just be putting too much pressure on myself. Thanks again!
Last recession was brutal for me and definately scarred me a bit, but this one was the last push to figure things out. Ive had the time to slow down now. Ive managed to prioritise and safe some money on a very below average income. You really dont need much stuff and a lot comes for free. I also looked at other ways to have a bit of an extra income and have multiple income streams now iwith stuff I really like to do. You are right, there are chances out there, even now
I agree on right now is the time to go after the job you've always wanted! Before the lockdown I was working at a 9-5 stable job but it gave me no joy. Once the lockdown hit it gave me the time to rethink what I was doing as the thought of returning to that job made me sick! Long story short- I applied to my dream job and got it! It was terrifying but the chance was so worth it 😊
Thanks Sophie for another great video. I really like these business, finance and personal growth videos. Thanks for the covid tips and visionboard tips. I love your car story. xxx
Before the illness I got an opportunity to work fulltime for the company I was interning in but that opportunity is now gone. And I'm actually glad because It wasn't as good as I thought it to be (it was in a city I didn't like, the pay wasn't that great and neither was the job description). Now I'm working an in-between job (customer service) to pay for my degree and upskill.
I don't know how my situation will look like next year but I hope better than if I just took that opportunity and conformed with my life.
Lovely babe! I keep saying I’ll make a vision board in the new year. But what the hell... I’ll do it now! Thanks for encouraging us! 🥰🥰
Recently I found a list I'd made years ago, and completely forgottem about, of the things I wanted to achieve before I was 50 - one being to get my goofy front teeth 'sorted' (didn't say how!). Fast forward some years, and 4 months before my 50th I was sitting in the dentist's chair having 4 top front teeth pulled and replaced with implants because my tooth roots were being reasbsorbed and my teeth were failing. So, I had perfect teeth for my 50th...and the Chanel WoC which was also on the list. Still can't drive though 😁
Love your career videos! They always motivate me to work harder for the things I want. Thank you so much!!
Great advice! As much as this year has been awful, I've really enjoyed the down time. I needed it badly. I'm in the process of making my own vision board. Having a set of goals and making it visual is definitely a great way to achieve them.
Yess love this type of content from you Sophie 🙌 Gonna work on a vision board this week 💗
Love this topic, Sophie! You are such a wonderful and beautiful person. Thank you for sharing! I know it is helpful to so many people. Take care!
Thank you for this video! I think you just gave us all a great reminder to keep pushing forward.
I lived in the UK in 2013-4 and I remember, back then, everyone was like 'oh, the property bubble will burst soon enough'. 7 years later, things are getting worse by the minute (globally, not just in the UK) and the prices are going through the roof without any sign of stopping. Instead of a year or two, I think it'll more likely be at least a decade before the whole thing slows down. Not bursts - slows down. 'Tis bad. Very bad.
Prices usually double every 10 years in England, or every 5 in up and coming areas. But these next 10 years may stagnate since they’re just far too high. But it won’t ‘burst’ - people are far too stubborn
lalagonegaga same situation in Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦
During COVID i think the main thing i’ve noticed people really thinking about their life in general- not just wanting to change their work, but in their relationships. Lots of divorces happening due to the time alone with your SO and then dealing with any issues all the time without distractions. Lots of people I know are struggling there.
For my SO and me, we have thankfully been strong in our marriage but we both are trying to get promotions right now. I’ve waited long enough before the pandemic for one, so time to upskill and get out lol
What a great video! Yes, you are right, we all will never get that time off again. However, it was still scary while we were off due to the fear of contracting the virus and potentially dying - so it wasn't fun at first. But I used that time to do some organizing and I'm not finished yet. As soon as work started up again it was the same hectic lifestyle all over again.
You're so right about the vision board. I told my husband this and he said he's always had a mental vision board lol. I guess the important thing is to reflect and ask yourself what you really want. I can't keep a mental note, so I will have to write it down or document it somehow! Maybe set up an album on my iphone? Or I like the notebook idea!
Real estate is crazy right now. I hope that bubble will burst.
Thank you so much, Sophie!!! You have been one of my favorites for a time now! I love and appreciate you more than you’ll ever know!!! Talk to you soon and please tell Dear David I said hello!!! Love, Susan near Chicago ✝️🙏🏻💞 👛 👍🏻
Hi Sophie, I loved this video! I’ve just finished uni and am feeling deflated about finding a job. This video has really inspired me! Thank you for always making such amazing content! 💖
Your all on about what covid ruined for you,well I can tell you im a nurse on a covid ward and people have lost their lives right in front of me,its affected me in a lot of ways and not all good,If you dont have a job its not the end of the world as you havent died or lost a family member,covid has made me realise that life is really short and we need to make the most of life,Lovely video again Sophie.I havent had any time off ive worked extra hours as well as full time hours.x
A very interesting and insightful video. It is fUnny that you should talk about how companies can get away with making positions redundant just as a way of getting rid of someone only to give that same position a new title and then to employ someone new into the same position that was just made redundant. It is so unethical , but clearly a loophole that is exploited. Very sad. I think COVID has really addled corporate brains. Stay strong everyone
Thank you for the video. Great tips! I hope you enjoy your new car Sophie!
Hello Sophie, it was interesting to hear your perspective on these things, I agree with the points you made, thank you for sharing. Vision boards do work, I attest to that! You story of Porsche made me smile, because my boards have worked out in strange ways too, I was amazed!🌞
I wish you and your family good health 🌼
Thank you for sharing these tips and your vision bored Iv always wanted to see how those work and I’m deff going to make one! This was very inspiring to me on so many levels so thank you so so much again ❤️❤️
Great suggestions! Tips like this is what its all about! important discussion to be having right now, I really enjoyed the video!
Omg...such a great video...I am a true believer in doing a vision board...so three weeks ago my Area Manager had everyone on his team read a book called the “ Energy Bus” and we were to discuss it as a team as to what we got out of it, the goal being
was to motivate us particularly during this unprecedented times. Well the plot twist was a few days later my company announced they were downsizing the sales force as well as administration. This was to take place in 2 days from the announcement. It was the most stressful 2 days of my life...luckily I was retained, but it was a blood bath and I lost good co-workers. We are back to reading the “Energy Bus” & the vision board is a component of the book. Since my co-workers now that I live by my vision board I’m going to present it to the group and the chapter that pertains to it. ❤️📔💡
I love these kinds of videos, definitely always walk out with alot of information and insight 💕 thank you Sophie
I loved this video. It was everything that I needed to watch. I’m going to buy a board this week! Sophie, do more videos about work, goals, how to get things done etc... I love it so much.
💖
Thank you for your video Sophie! This was so helpful and encouraging to hear, I’m off to make my vision board 💕
I'm recently unemployed due to Covid a month to the day from a job I worked 14yrs...basically my mental health was being affected & when I asked for time off I was denied & wound up having a breakdown instead & got fired but I'm actually glad...I was ready to go so I say all that to say that I appreciate your advice at this time & this video is very helpful to me...😊
This space in time was perfect for my husband. He just finished his master's degree. The company he was working for furloughed him, recently announced more down the pipe. He took a new role with another company which is the next logical step up in his career. I think right now is definitely a good time to be retrospective. Think things over and decide to take another road if possible. However, on the flipside, my parents own their own business. One employee tested positive for covid and they had to close for two weeks. The employee is recovering, but it's a serious hit to their business. Every person's situation is different.
Okay, I give in. I’ve always poo-pooed the whole vision board thing, but you have convinced me to give it a go. So, it’s off to the craft shop tomorrow for board and push pins. I was wondering, do you time limit your “wants”? In other words, a new car, job, second home by such and such a year, or do you just leave things open ended? I’m sure I’m older than most of your subscribers, so I’ve knocked a lot off the list just by years and experience, but I’m a believer in a life well lived requires always looking forward and there are so, so many things I’d love to experience, see, taste, share. 2020 has caused me to cancel all my travel, but I’m ever hopeful that 2021 or 2022 will open those doors again. Always love your inspiration, common sense and empathy. You’re a treat!
Great video, Sophie. I love these videos of yours. Thank you!
A great video. I'm here for all the experiences and good advice. And the fashion too.
🙌 loving the finance/career videos
covid ruined my 2020 - I graduated from college in May, so the end of my senior year was entirely at home and I missed out on everything that was planned for the seniors and I didn't get to say goodbye to anyone. I was also working 3 different jobs on campus and started to lose them after quarantine started in March, so I've been on unemployment since, and I'm now struggling to find a job. In good news, I got accepted into my university's MBA program, to start in the spring - I'll only be going, though, if I can get a graduate assistantship; they offer graduate students 20 hrs of work per week in exchange for two free classes, so you don't have to pay for tuition. I'm planning on specializing in marketing :)
Sophie you're so right in 2008 my employer at the time was glad for the recession and they made me redundant because they obviously didn't want me working there! They used the ressession as an excuse to get rid of me! Also the red car on your vision board was in your subconscious mind that's why you subliminally chose to test drive that car recently!
My lease came up in April, and rather then signing on for a fixed term, we signed on for a month to month. Knowing that we could leave at the drop of a hat is a relief. I would definitely recommend it (in Australia, where our real estate laws protect the tenant from being kicked out without sufficient notice). Might be different for other countries.
Sophie, I am so glad you’re now talking about the vision boards because this is the perfect opportunity for me to say that I recently discovered a very beautiful app that implements a version of it! It’s called Dreamer and is available for iPhone and iPad. I use my devices so much that I find it more convenient this way. And I will start using it soon because it feels very right, although I also want to do more research on the psychology behind it. 💜💜
I was studying for a carreer as a real estate agent. All of that started going down the drain last year but just when I thought I was going to turn it around, covid happened.
Now I'm thinking of abandoning all that and just going back to my first love: painting.
Maybe this is what needed to happen for me to follow my true self again.
Thank you when you talk about business because it is so easy to understand
Now that I work from home due to Covid-19 I have the time to take free outdoor fitness classes instead of sitting in my car on my hour and half commute home.
I know a lot of people are really struggling and because of the field they're in have been really affected, but it's true that in a recession not every market is hit the same way. My brother for example works remotely for a start-up that sells software and he actually got a raise in June, a good one. I agree, this is a great time to continue education, or maybe switch to an area you would have never considered. Great insight here Sophie, thanks for sharing, and strength to all those struggling right now! 💪♥️
Commented earlier about interviewing for a job... Well I got it! I feel so grateful to be employed during this time! It's all a bit crazy out there.
My job search tip is to start now! It takes loads of time (what about just waiting for them to get back to you!) and sometimes we get stuck in the "thinking" phase.
And don't apply for 1 or 2 jobs, apply for 10 or 20. Also consider if you can move your geographic location for a job.
Congrats on the new job!
And good tips for job-hunting 👍
Hi Sophie, lovely video, I wrote down when ai was 20 5 things I wanted to do then, I saw the list 9 years later, one thing on the list said travel, I had in the 9 years traveled abit.
I think the board is brilliant, I might do one myself. Have a good week. Thanks for your wisdom Teresa 💕☺️
Earlier this year I got a job at Nordstrom, I was super excited because I’ve always wanted to work there and I haven’t had a civilian job for about a year at that point, when we went into quarantine I never heard back from them. I was told they would call when the store opens up. They open up and tell me they are no longer hiring...it sucks but luckily I have a job now.
Hey Sophie, your videos really helped me through this pandemic. I recently started a project a friend (I sent more details in your DM) that doesn’t cost me anything if it doesn’t work out. Anyway somehow, from following your journey, I felt inspired to at least try this and see what happens. It’s keeping me busy at least.
