Melanie's journey began with a life changing visit to an orphanage, where she was swarmed by kids craving love. Over ten years, she fostered around forty children, but everything changed when she took in a baby. That little one was then returned to her birth mum, but the experience planted a seed. She wondered if she would have a child of her own and how she would navigate pregnancy in her late thirties. Letting go was heartbreaking, but somehow she found the strength to foster again. She always says it is the hardest thing she has ever done but also the best. [0:00] I remember visiting an orphanage, and it changed everything for me. The kids were starved for love and attention, and it broke my heart. [2:30] I came back to Melbourne, and I asked God what to do with this. Over 10 years, I fostered 40 kids. The idea of taking in a baby came to me, and I felt this deep calling. [5:00] When I finally got a baby, I was like, "I didn't expect this." The authorities asked if I'd keep her permanently. I wasn't planning on it, but I thought, "Why not?" [7:30] Then they told me she'd go back to her birth mum. That moment made me realize, I wanted to adopt. I thought, "I can't let this little girl go." [10:00] I spent two years recovering from the fear of losing her, and then I knew I was called to foster again. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done, but it was also the most rewarding. [12:30] Hi, I'm Melanie McGrice. I became a Christian at 29, and I thought I was going to go into missionary work. But I think God had a different plan for me. [15:00] So I went to the orphanage, thinking I was going to stay long-term. But when I saw how the kids were so desperate for love, it broke my heart. [17:30] When I came back to Melbourne, I started my business. I was doing things with faith, leadership, and mission. I also trained dietitians in fertility and pregnancy, all while supporting Compassion's mother-baby centers and fostering kids. [20:00] And then I heard a story on the radio about fostering. I looked it up, and that's how it all began. I started with emergency cases, and eventually, I fostered 40 kids.

A Brain Dump allows you to separate out the clutter and zero in on the essentials. Once you outline your plans, you can take yourself off autopilot and prioritize your tasks based on your goals. [4:57] - “When you do it, it becomes a superpower” Pull out your limiting beliefs from your subconscious by writing them down and actually see them in front of you. You may be aware of them, but they are still in control of your life and business until you confront them and rewrite them to align with your goals. Your gift is too valuable to be held back by these old stories! [6:51] - “Your mind doesn’t know what you’ve already accomplished” Craft your mindset from a place where you’re already successful. Set yourself up for success by thinking that you have already reached that goal, that next level, and now you are just walking towards it. Rewire your brain to think ahead and think positive about your entrepreneurial goals. The rewards from this mental shift will play out in your business and flow over to your life. [24:05] Harness the power of your brain to shift your mindset and create your desired reality. Show up authentically in your business and rewrite the stories that are stopping you from crushing your goals. They have been in control of your actions for too long!

I could very very easily stick $1 Millon of revenue around that process”. The biggest takeaways from today’s episode are: - “Mindset is 99% of the journey” Shut down the limiting beliefs that are holding you back in your business. Nurture the deep belief that you are capable and access the stories in your mind that will lead you to success. You have everything you need to succeed, you just need to know how to use it. [4:50] - “I’ve been able to apply it to 3 other major areas of my life” The thinking behind building an 8-Figure Business can also be used for your connections to your family, your health and your community. Re-write your inner stories to align with your goals to create your Epic Life and Business.
