“Mommy, I’m SO BORED!!! Look up my nostrils, do you see a forest?”

Whilst driving home from Music School today, Tee whined about her boredom in the car. No Shit Sherlock, this girl needs to be entertained 24/7 round the clock! What does she think I am, Stanley the Clown on caffeine with Energizer batteries?

I told her that we’re not supposed to play in the car but she whined about what she should do then. In irritation, I said, “You know, you can’t be very smart if you get bored so easily. Smart people never get bored as they can always think of SOMETHING to do. Sometimes, it’s OKAY to do NOTHING!!!”

“But I want to do SOMETHING!!” Seeing that this was dragging on a bit, I decided to inject some creativity into her boring brain.

“Did you ever look at all those gates in those houses out there? Why are they all different? Have you ever thought about it? Why are some short, some tall, some metal, some timber?”

“Yes, we pass here all the time. I’ve already done that, it’s boring.”

“Bullshit. Tell me why then. Why does everyone have a different gate?”

“Because everybody is different. Some people are dark brown, some are light brown, some are medium brown, some are white, some are black, some are just plain brown. So they have different taste, just like some people like apples and some people like oranges.”

“So what gate would you like, a short one or a tall one?” I asked, still irritated that I’d been suckered into conversation that I really did not want to have on a hot Wednesday headache-y afternoon.

“I want a tall one!!! So I can keep out all the robbers!!!”

“Have you ever thought about those people who have the short gates? Why do they have short gates then”

“Because they are friends with everyone, even all the bad people.” I couldn’t help but laugh at that logic. She’s funny.

“Have you thought about cost? Would it cost more to have a short gate or a tall gate?”

“A tall gate!”

“Could there be another reason then that some people have short gates?”

“Because they cannot afford the tall gate?”

“Yes…..some people are so poor, they have no choice but to have a short gate. It isn’t fair, is it?”

“Ya….that’s why those people are friends with the robbers so the robbers can give them more money.” *Mommy faints and almost crashes car*

Obviously liking this, she continues, “Ask me more questions, Mom!!”

Change of subject without taking the robber/short gate theory further, “Which gate do you think is more expensive, timber or metal?”

“Metal!! Because we can get wood from the trees!!! If we want to get a wooden gate, we just need to get an axe and chop down the trees!!” says the green advocate.

I nod, then asked, “What about metal? How do you know that metal is expensive?”

“Because it is made in the factories……” to which I had to ask myself, hmmm…..where DOES metal come from? Interesting to note anyway that she felt that metal came from factories.

Running out of ideas, I asked, “So would you prefer a timber gate or a metal gate?”

“I want a TALL METAL gate!!!”

And at that moment, we drove into our parking spot.

PHEW!!!

She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
