Book Review
In her new book, Becoming Self-Made, Elaina Ray walks you through her journey of finding her soul’s purpose and building a multimillion-dollar business in under two years and across multiple continents. In this travel memoir/powerful business guide, you will discover, as Elaina did, what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, create and scale your business, and use your innate gifts to chase your wildest dreams so that you, too, can do what you love without sacrificing your most valuable resource: your time.
Filled with stories from around the world, timeless wisdom, ironclad strategies, business truths and myths, and reflective homework prompts, Becoming Self-Made is where Elaina Ray invites you to be unafraid of reinventing yourself, of starting something new, and of building from the ground up as many times as it takes.
Do you desire:
To keep the power of your time, money, and energy in your own hands?
To be a sought-after leader in your industry?
To meet revenue targets with systems and stand-out marketing?
To become someone who runs your own company, makes your own rules, decides your own hours, and receives unlimited amounts of wealth?
To help build an economy where people circulate more wealth, more joy, more purpose, and more satisfaction?
To answer that desire that’s been calling to you, perhaps at deafening levels, you must take big risks, understand your genius, monetize your gifts, heal your childhood wounds, stand up as a leader, and open your heart to the wildness and richness of the journey itself—a journey that led Ray to Bali, Indonesia, where she found her purpose after a quarter of a lifetime searching the nooks and crevices of the world for her “why.”
It’s time to get the all-access pass to the freedom, abundance, and joy that is your birthright. It’s time to become self-made.
Author Quotes
I didn’t see myself as an entrepreneur. My goal was to be a freelancer and to be able to piece together enough sources of income to keep me out of the nine-to-five. Fundamentally, I was in survival mode.
By thirty two, I had claimed my throne as a woman and as a confident entrepreneur. I became a self-made millionaire and international real estate investor.
I wouldn’t be here today if I was still standing on the edge of The Void, calculating all the potential ways it could go wrong or waiting, hoping, praying for someone to come along and go first and show me it was safe.
