Saga B. Krist

To give you a better picture of me, my life, here I am;

-I am a mother of two grown-up sons that left the nest some years ago. I am also a widow.

-I love long walks, preferably in nature or on a beach, I enjoy mountain hikes, yoga, and dancing.

-I love cooking but I also love dining out.

-I am very much into personal development & spirituality and I love to help others, bringing out the best in them.

 

Born in Iceland in the early ´60 and grew up on a farm in the north part of Iceland.  At the age of 16 my parents got divorced and I, with my mother and my younger sister moved to Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland. There I studied to become a hairstylist, both to run a hair salon and to be able to teach others.

At the age of 22, I opened my first hair salon. 5 years later I had two salons and ran them both successfully for 10 years, having up to 10-11 people working for me. If I’m honest there are times it felt like running a daycare centre, having so many staff members. But I was young, this was fun and I loved my business.

After having my two sons in my 30´s I decided they were my "new profession”, so I sold my hair salons to be able to stay home and take care of my boys.

A new chapter in a new country,

In 2004, then a single mother of two, I moved to Spain with my boys, aged 7 and 9 years old, to start a new venture,  I had invested 80.000 euros, one year of work, lots of travel, hotel and telephone expenses in a new company. Long story short, the founder disappeared with the money and I never saw a dime of it again.

Here I was, a single mother, with 2 kids, no work, no money, and no Spanish at that time.  We had some difficult years, but we never went hungry. We always had a roof over our head and more importantly, we always had our love for each other.

In 2010 I married the man that had been my best friend for the last 6 years and things got a bit easier as I had some help with paying bills.

But I was lost in a way. Ever since the 80.000 euros scam, I had no self-belief, no drive. I felt that I had failed my sons, I had failed myself. I had not been able to do the things I wanted to do with them, travel, and do stuff. When some years later, they moved away to other countries for further studies, I felt so useless. What was I going to do with my life and my time?

I needed something new, but WHAT??? I did not want to work in a hair salon, actually did not want to work for anybody, I had basically been my own Lady-Boss since I was 22, and did not fancy a 9-5 job. Another thing, I had no security for my future pension plan and that concerned me.

Let's fast forward to 2019:

My husband got very ill and almost lost his life, not once, but twice that year.

I decided, after spending a big part of the year next to his hospital bed, that 2020 would be a new beginning for me. I had to find a way to secure my future and my future pension plan. I was going to learn something new, online. To begin with, I took the decision to study something that had been my passion for many years but I had never given myself time to study, and on my birthday at the end of May 2020 I got my certificate as a Feng Shui Consultant.

When the pandemic hit the whole world in February-March 2020, I realized, perhaps working online was something I really would, could, and should do. With or without Feng Shui.

I'm far from technical, so this was really out of my comfort zone, but I knew my comfort zone would never get me anywhere. I had been there for too long.

I asked for guidance as I believe in the Universe and that the Universe always has my back. And I got an answer,

At the end of March 2020, a video ad popped up on YouTube and normally I skip them. But in this case, I felt this man talking on there was talking to me. Even though he had a totally different background, life story, and circumstances to me, what he said made me listen. He talked about learning online marketing. I watched the whole video and signed up for some FREE training videos on how this would be possible.

I did not expect that this would be an answer to my situation, but I thought, “ it’s only a few free videos,  they can’t hurt, what else is there?” So I watched them and I got inspired. “Could I really learn online marketing, and how to work from my laptop anywhere in the world?”

I saw some success stories of people from all walks of life, different ages, different countries and I thought, “What if?” “What if this might bight be my answer?”

If you are anything like me you are probably thinking: "But online marketing is not for me, I'm not a salesperson"

I found out after watching the videos that this was much bigger and greater than I expected. I found in this digital academy, a huge community of Teachers & Mentors, Marketing coaches, Technical Specialists, and they would all help me, little me, to create my website, in a secure platform, backed up by this like-minded entrepreneurial community. I got to see and hear Stuart and Jay, the leaders and brains behind this and I felt immediately that I could trust them. They talked about “Affiliate”, and I had never heard that word before. Honestly, I had to Google it. This was nothing like the scam I had fallen for many years earlier.

Yes, I had found something that would help me get my confidence back, my self-belief, and a chance to become an entrepreneur online, become independent again, and not have to depend on anyone or anything again.

I was learning together with lots of like-minded people, that support each other, some of them have become my personal best (online) friends. I knew, in my heart, this was going to be my future vehicle and I knew it would help me become independent again. Now I look forward to helping others through this wonderful journey.

And having said that, this was exactly what I needed, as in May 2021 my husband sadly passed away, he lost his life in a traffic accident. The shock was huge, the sadness, emptiness and fear came rushing over me. My life completely took a U-turn, everything changed and I had to start a new life, back in my own country.  It will take time to heal and get to terms with all the aftermath of losing a loved one. But step by step I am getting there.

The education I have got here in this community has helped me tremendously on how to bounce back from my loss and I am even in the process of writing my first book, my story, thanks to some of the coaches on here. I have learned so much and come so far since I first found the introduction videos for this platform of online education. I have grown spiritually, mindfully, and professionally, I have learned tons of new skills, like building a website, creating content, writing, camera confidence, online marketing, affiliate business, believing in myself...yes, the list is endless.

Obviously, you are still reading, so on the final note; for me, I see this as I was guided to this platform, I look at it as a gift from the Universe to show me a way to level up and start creating my New Better Lifestyle of location independence and financial freedom. I have become a strong and happy Lady-Boss of my own life again.

We are all different and we do this our way to serve our highest purpose. But we all are looking for the same in a way, security in some shape or form for our future and our future pension plan.

Having said that, this is no “get rich quick thing” and you won’t get rich in a week, but if you are willing to learn some new skills, invest your time and some money in being trained personally by professional people that have walked this way before you, I bet you can become very successful.

I surely hope we will get to know each other, connect, and work together, and I would like to welcome you to our community. You can either contact me here (by going into "Contact") or take a look and see for yourself.
I´m excited to help you get started and see you learn and grow to the best version of yourself

LOVE & LIGHT, Saga B.
