This week I am focusing on talking more about <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">the $7 course</a></b> that truly changed my life and so today I wanted to share all the information about the course and see if y'all had any questions! If you would like to watch me talking about this you can find all the information HERE. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So last September I shared that a <b><a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2023/09/my-life-changed-from-7-course.html" target="_blank">$7 high ticket affiliate marketing course</a></b> changed my life (you can read what I shared <b><a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2023/09/my-life-changed-from-7-course.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>!). Since then things have continued to grow and change more and more and have been absolutely amazing. I would <i>never </i>have imagined where things would be financially in such a short time. It is absolutely incredible. So today I wanted to share more about this minimal financial investment and all of the benefits that you can gain from this! I know so many people are interested but many do not know what the course actually is about and if they should invest into it. So today I wanted to take sometime and share a bit more! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I do talk about this a lot and how this was one of the first things that I started doing on my own passive income journey. Despite blogging and writing for nearly a decade on Caravan Sonnet, I didn't truly understand Passive income and what that is. I started off with <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">the $7 course</a></b> and it was an investment that changed my life. I at first believed that it was a scam (it is NOT) and couldn't believe the wealth of information that it provides for under $10!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you are like me and don't understand Passive Income and how it can change your life then please read on. So with <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">the $7 course you get a 15 day Business Builder Course</a></b> that talks all about High Affiliate Marketing. While I had done affiliate marketing, I hadn't done <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">High <i>Ticket </i>Affiliate Marketing</a></b> and this course introduced this concept to me. And this is where the difference is in with seeing financial results come from. So if you don't know what affiliate marketing is, it is where you get a link from a company/store and then you share it with people you know or your following and then when they click on that link you receive a percentage of the profits when it sells. (It is absolutely NO extra charge to the purchaser).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The percentage can range - some times it is very small or very large. So you are marketing the product literally. In the class they go through so many amazing videos and tips. From Day 1 I learned so many things that I didn't know. I literally didn't know how to do it correctly. <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">The $7 course</a></b> walked me through it and I learned how to do it correctly. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another thing that was amazing and priceless in the course is that you get to meet with a business coach and while it is no longer required, I can't recommend it enough. It was so helpful and changed the whole trajectory of Caravan Sonnet. If you are just beginning or if you are having the same questions I did, this will be an invaluable and priceless option. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As you finish the rest of the days, you will get additional education, learn about high income skills, and also have so many resources at your fingertips. All of the information that I learned in the course I applied to what I am doing now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you are wanting to know more about what you are spending $7 on I hope that that this has been hugely helpful for you. I hear that there are a lot of complaints or that it is a scam. But it is not- you are paying for education on how to build a passive income journey for you. Whether you want to just learn more or are interested in affiliate marketing, this is the perfect course for you. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Click on the link <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">HERE</a></b> to start your journey today!</div><p></p>Caravan Sonnethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17225941007248198346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4065602349484224616.post-29318968992274542012024-03-13T01:18:00.000-07:002024-03-13T01:24:44.582-07:00the best islands for restorative travel in greece<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3f6W6KsIJkVee5lFpvF01OE-7podYWYDjPnl07g7EpZIq-sB_da8ER794JPltzMr5XJjHBJV0FcIunLWwbGgr0v2q_HFQhDV2lL_x-LnfPyLtYPwNz7IIfMG32P2onQXnxJQWvQxzr39DtzXF94e7zGKAFk9QlH_lYS1aylt9Z8fnZi5vM2jkW_hsQtY/s1600/89c808e7-4f56-4468-b962-c9f0d82339e6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="caravan sonnet" border="0" data-original-height="1066" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3f6W6KsIJkVee5lFpvF01OE-7podYWYDjPnl07g7EpZIq-sB_da8ER794JPltzMr5XJjHBJV0FcIunLWwbGgr0v2q_HFQhDV2lL_x-LnfPyLtYPwNz7IIfMG32P2onQXnxJQWvQxzr39DtzXF94e7zGKAFk9QlH_lYS1aylt9Z8fnZi5vM2jkW_hsQtY/s16000/89c808e7-4f56-4468-b962-c9f0d82339e6.jpg" title="the best islands for restorative travel in greece" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">*picture found on internet, not the property of caravan sonnet*</span></i></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Greek Islands offer an ideal setting for restorative travel.

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i>“</i><i>The Lord has forsaken me, my Lord has forgotten me.</i><i>”</i></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>-Isaiah 49:14-</span><br />
<span><br /></span>
<span>It seems like it goes in waves... the times where I feel forgotten in this single journey. While I deeply rejoice with all that God is doing in others lives and for the love stories that are abounding, it can be easy to feel forgotten when our prayers seemingly fall on deaf ears. Those of us that have been praying for years, or even decades for our love stories to happen can start to feel that God has forgotten us in this single journey.</span></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> On the most difficult
days in this journey I cry out with the psalmist, <i>“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Far from my deliverance, are the words of my groaning.”</i> (Psalm 22:1) In my
grief I cry out, <i>“The Lord has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.”</i>
(Isaiah 49:14) </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But the beautiful thing is that when we feel this way... forgotten and forsaken and kept from our dreams the Lord quietly and lovingly answers us. He says to our hurting hearts: </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i> “I have chosen you and
have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,
for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.”</i> </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-Isaiah 41:9-10-</span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> He reminds us that we are worth
more than the sparrows that He takes care of. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;">“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not
one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”</span></i></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">-Luke 12:6-7- </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is no doubt that our feelings may tell us that we have been forgotten by the Lord, but the truth is that we are not forgotten and we are not forsaken. The Lord is tenderly weaving our stories in intricate and beautiful ways. I don't know why we sometimes have to wait for the thing that we desire to come true. I don't know why the love story that you are longing for takes so long. But I do know that the Lord's timing is perfect. As one of my favorite authors says, "God's timing is flawless." I love that... God's timing is flawless friends. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hold on to that beautiful hope today... resting secure in the fact that the Lord is at work right now crafting your story. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You are not forgotten. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You are not forsaken. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">God's timing is flawless.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Struggling in feeling forgotten in the Single Journey? Here are a few things that helps me on days where I struggle with this:</span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Cry out to God. </span></b></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Just like David did and many others throughout the Bible (including Hannah) cry out to Him. He promises to answer us. He promises that the <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2017/05/sunday-scripture-five-psalm-918.html"><b>hopes of the needy people will not be forgotten. (Psalm 9:18</b>)</a></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Talk with Trusted Friends</span></b></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Talk and share with a trusted friend. I am so blessed by several friends who consistently love and listen to my heart in this area and also for all of their prayers for me and for my future hubby and our future family. They encourage, they speak hope when I feel none, and they courageously step into a broken hearted woman's most vulnerable place. Talking and crying with trusted friends can be a beautiful blessing when you are hurting. I shared in a post many years ago <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2016/06/the-6-types-of-friends-every-christian.html"><b>the six types of friends that every christian single gal needs in her life</b></a> (you can find it <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2016/06/the-6-types-of-friends-every-christian.html"><b>HERE</b></a>) and these are the trusted friends you want to pour out your heart to. They are the praying, truth-telling, loving and listening friends <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2016/02/weeping-in-single-journey.html"><b>who will cry and weep with you</b></a> while gently reminding you that God's timing is flawless.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Remember All that God has Done in the Past</span></b></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is something so beautiful about remembering all that God has done for us in the past isn't there? I shared before about <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2014/04/the-hope-that-is-found-in-history.html"><b>the beautiful hope that is found in history</b></a>. When I was teaching I had a verse at the front of my classroom that read, "those who are wise will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord" which comes from the Psalms. There is a power and a beautiful encouragement to remembering the past. We can see how faithfully the Lord has taken care of us, met all of our needs, and gently carried and loved us. We can also see how He has miraculously answered us... gently reminding us that He will do so again.</span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today friends I am praying for you... praying that you gently are reminded that you are not forgotten in this journey and that God's timing is <i>flawless</i>. </span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="CSP-FrontMatterBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<i style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">(PS- If you are looking for encouragement in the single season of life you can find all of the posts that I have written on the topic of singleness <a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/p/singleness.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><b>HERE</b></a>!)</span></i></div>

I had turned off notifications from my phone, was gone about 10 days, didn't do <i>any </i>work during that time on my passive income streams and came home to TONS of notifications of passive income that had been coming in the entire time I was gone. More than four figures and all I had done was go on vacation. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Y'all. I can't talk about this enough. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Passive income has truly changed my life... after more than a decade of blogging I can definitely say that if I would start my journey again <b><a href="https://stan.store/caravansonnet" target="_blank">I would invest in the education</a></b> to learn truly what passive income is and how digital marketing can change your life. The education is simply worth it. And even if you are not a blogger, you can still invest in the education to learn and all you need is your phone that is the beauty of this. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Each and every day I was amazed to see on my phone notifications of passive income coming in and I literally do not need to talk about it every single day or sell a program with upsells, MLMs or berating my family and friends to buy something, or anything. It is simply learning education and applying it. Y'all if I can do this <i>anyone</i> can. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Maybe you are not like me and you are doing just fine with your finances... that is amazing... but I have to believe in this economy that anyone can't use passive income to bring in additional income for their tribe and those around them if nothing else.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Don't wait any longer.

For this time and for this season. What is your dream?</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">This is me. I dream of having more time with my tribe, with those that I love the most, bringing in more financial stability and hope-fiving income for the ability to be wildly generous with those that are hurting and struggling around me. I know what it is like to be in a desperate financial situation and have been the recipient of extravagant love in so many ways that I desire to give back beyond what is believed to be possible. Some are ways that I have publicly shared in this space and on the blog and some are hidden secrets that are for the future. As I continued to pray I kept holding on to the hope that God would not only provide but guide for ways to bring in passive income through digital entrepreneurship to create this.</span><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">And when I came across the <b><a href="https://onlinebusinessbuilderchallenge.com/get-started/enroll?aid=78432" target="_blank">$7 high ticket affiliate marketing course</a></b> and the <b><a href="https://stan.store/caravansonnet/p/purchase-order-form-dq82c" target="_blank">Roadmap to Riches Digital Marketing Course </a></b>(both of which can be purchased from me in my stan store). As a teacher and a lover of education, I took the education that BOTH programs offered and started applying it to my life. I valued each piece of education as an opportunity to LEARN and apply to my life- NOT just to resell a course, <b><a href="https://stan.store/caravansonnet/p/purchase-order-form-dq82c" target="_blank">but to apply these courses to my life</a></b>. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This priceless education taught me that anything is possible when you take the time to truly learn. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You CAN do this. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It doesn’t need to cost thousands of dollars to learn this.

Many parents will struggle with feeling that they are not good enough, or not doing enough to support their children. Unfortunately, there is no rule book on being a parent, nor is there one correct way to raise children. However, there are plenty of things that you can do to be a better parent. First, you need to stay open to learning. Learn about yourself, your children, and all of your needs. This is one of the best things that you can do as a parent, as it will help you to create a solid foundation of growth and understanding, and build a great relationship between you and your children. You should also make time for yourself, create a support network, encourage your children to be curious and creative, and more. To help you on your parenting journey, here are some top tips to help you.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;" /><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make time for yourself</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To be a good parent, you should </span><a href="http://www.caravansonnet.com/2020/03/what-is-self-care-and-why-is-it-so.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">make time for yourself</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. While this sounds counterintuitive to many people, it is actually a vital component of bettering your parenting skills.

While this cannot be helped, it is important to ensure that you encourage your children to stay curious and be creative. Engage with your children regularly, and try to encourage them to play games, use their imagination to create stories, get involved with arts and crafts, play outside in nature, and more. Encourage your children as they grow up to have an open mind, ask questions, and be curious about the world. This will help your children to grow and develop, and better navigate school. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;" /><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being a good parent is easy when you are yourself and want the best for your children.
