Meet Catherine Mahina Law!

Location: Australia

Catherine is a hardworking entrepreneur who recently launched her own business "Royalty Skin & Beauty" I have known this determined young lady for close to 10 years & over time, I've grown to see her succeeding in different aspects of life. This is her story that she wanted to share with us...

Catherine Mahina Law, 26 (March 1990), Cook island, Australian mixed. Graduated from Brisbane Adventist College 2007. On the side I am a Self- taught makeup artist for 9 years working alongside Blondie's Photography as a makeup artist and assistant photographer specializing in weddings. Career wise my first job was at McDonald's since then have worked for Telstra, Toyota, Mazda & Hyundai. Now I'm currently working full-time as a virtual receptionist.
Royalty Skin & Beauty was born in Nov 2016 after feeling uninspired, restless and not motivated with my current career choice. I have been made redundant twice and refuse to be a slave for someone else's dream any longer! I have gone around in circles and just went through life with a 'school - work' mindset and decided enough was enough and I created my own path.
My biggest inspiration is my mum & my 4 brothers. My mum raised me and my brothers as a single mum and never once used the 'single mum - woe is me' excuse. She was always working and educating herself and us kids. Now we are all grown up it is time to give back and retire my mum and ensure she lives a comfortable life. My mum worked too damn hard for me not to be a damn Boss Queen!
My advice for ANYONE out there; It is hard. You have to sacrifice your time, money, friends... everything. But what will drive you and motivate you is that stupid alarm at 6am as you drag yourself outta bed, it's checking the price tag before you buy anything, the Christmas presents you can't buy and everything else that you were taught at school but it all actually meant crap when you graduated. I would love to see less people getting turnt every weekend and more people working on achieving their dreams! Do you need a MBA? Pfft Nope! The most successful people were just normal everyday guys who tried and failed more times than they succeeded but when they persevered and they put in all the hard work at the start? In the end, they created an empire.
Exodus 20:4 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work..." Keyword? You need to put in the work, go out of your comfort zone and do all the laboring before you get that well-deserved rest. So stop wasting time and go out there and take control back of your QUEENDOM!

Meet Jordan!

Location: Australia

Jordan is a very inspiring young man who is passionate about Muay Thai. From the time I've known him, he's always been a friendly individual who's very determined & works hard to get to where he is. He resides in Australia & was more than welcome to share his story with us at Daily Piece of Sunshine.


What's your name? Jordan Rolender

How old are you? 24 years old
When did you start Muay Thai? I started Muay Thai almost 3 years ago.
What inspired you to do this? I have always been fascinated with the sport and culture of Muay Thai and wanted to learn it myself. 
I see you've done some matches, could you tell me about your experience?
I have competed in a few Muay Thai fights, my record is currently 6 wins and 6 losses, with 3 of my wins coming by way of Knockout.
What was it like? Very interesting actually, there is an incredible amount of emotions to deal with before getting in there, nerves and excitement and fear etc.
What are your achievements? I've fought for a QLD Title earlier this, sadly I didn't get the win but I learned a lot while I was in there, currently training for another QLD title opportunity in March 2017.
Who inspires you? Lots of people actually, a lot of local fighters inspire me as well as some international fighters but my biggest inspiration would have to be my former coach Nick Trask from Heart Out Muay Thai.
Do you coach or teach Muay Thai? Yes I do, I've started my own little gym called Macen's Thai Gym which I named after my son who passed away in January 2015. 
What made you want to teach? I've always wanted to teach people, not just for self-defence but for self-esteem and discipline.
What have you learned during your journey? I've learned a lot about the sport and also a lot about myself, this journey has been up and down but it has made me a better person, and I can't wait for the future.
Do you have any advice for anyone interested in this sport? or anyone wanting to follow their dreams? The only thing I can say is if you have a dream, go for it. We only have 1 life, do what makes you happy at all times.

Meet Stuart! 

Location: Australia

Stuart is a determined small business owner in Australia. He works together with Avon which is a world wide company that sells beauty products, house hold items and personal care. What they do? Deliver the best products at a reasonable price. His business caters for both Men and Women of all ages. Stuart started this business 2 months ago & hopes it will flourish into a company. Though he has just started his journey through business, he is quite determined to work hard and make it his own.

He wanted to start up a business so he didn't have to work the crazy hours and can work whenever he wants. By owning his own business, this will allows him to be flexible & wouldn't have to report to a boss for some time off because he will be his own boss. Another reason why he ventured out into starting a business is to bring extra income to his house hold & by setting up a business on the side, it has helped him out alot.

"What inspired Stuart to start?" 

He got inspired by a friend who was also in the business together with Avon. Stuart thought it was a waste of time at first but now has seen changes when he took on the opportunity & his thoughts have completely changed around. By working together with Avon in providing their products to customers, it has become less stressful for him as it was an easier way of getting extra income. I mean, we all could use a little extra right? Especially with these holidays coming up!

I asked Stuart if he had any advice for anyone who is looking into a similar business or looking at starting a business? 

He responded with:

"I just want to inspire other people to stick with what you want to do in life & never give up." 

Thank you Stuart, for your time & your support! I wish you best of luck with your endeavours & always remember, the sky's the limit!

Meet Alan!

Location: Australia

Alan is a dedicated individual who helps and encourages young professionals, entrepreneurs, students and small business owners to reach their goals both professional & personal. I have had the privilege to work alongside Alan years ago and I can truly say he is a great leader and a great mentor. I've asked Alan to share with us his journey and why he chose this path.
 


"Everything I do is to care and wholeheartedly support people's ambitions so that a positive impact is made in their lives.  I do this by empowering them with actionable steps that create confidence and direction.  I'm a big believer in making things happen for yourself, rather than just letting things happen to you.  If you really want something, crossing your fingers or making a wish when you blow out candles on your birthday cake probably isn't going to cut it. Make a plan, put it into action and let the good things roll! 

So, how did I find myself coaching people towards reaching their ambitions?

During my years working in hospitality, I have found training and developing people to be the most rewarding part of my gig. I quickly discovered that my knack for strategy, commitment and focus was motivating for others and kept them on track to achieve results. It's an awesome feeling to be able to harness your strengths to make an impact on someone's life.  You must know your strengths and capitalize what you're naturally good at! 


These days I'm all about guiding others to take the right steps towards a more productive, rewarding and satisfying life. We only get one life, so we best own it, live it & love it! If you have a burning goal that you want to achieve, or you simply want to know more, take action and talk to me via FB, IG, SC or www.alanborges.com " 

Thank you, Alan, for giving us an insight on what you do. It's great to see someone who loves to help out others reach their full potential. Keep up with the great work! You can reach out to Alan on;

Do angels really exist?

Monday, 12 December 2016





Based on a true event. This is my story.


It was October 2015. We had just moved into a new place. One night, I was at home waiting for my mother & 2-year-old son (who was 1 at the time) to return from visiting my aunt. They arrived, so I was walking to the door to greet them. He got out of the car and held onto my mother's hand while she walked him over to the door. He let go of her hand to walk up the stairs to meet me but then he ran the other way towards our driveway. It was a steep driveway since our house is situated on a bit of a hill. I got to the door to hear my mother scream as she ran after him but tripped. I looked over and saw a car speeding down towards where my son was about to end up. As I jumped over the flight of stairs, dodged my mom to run after my child who was running down the driveway, I felt a feeling of calmness come over me but at the same time, I had planned to jump in front of the car and get hit if it would save my child's life. But when I looked up, he was heading towards the bottom of the steep drive way. THEN... I saw him trip over and bounce back. He fell on his bum. It felt like he hit some sort of forcefield and rebounded back. When he fell back, the car that was speeding down had just driven past. I couldn't get over what I had just saw. I quickly went and grabbed my son and went inside the house. I checked to see if he had any scratches or anything but he had nothing. I was sitting and thinking: "He should've rolled forward because he was going down hill?" but when I saw him fall back, it were as if someone had pushed him back. I could never forget that day and every day since that incident, I've always been thankful to the angels who have been watching over us all these years, especially my son. They are real. Angels do exist.
