What if I told you that the creator of one of the most beloved book series in history was once an unemployed single mother, struggling to make ends meet and battling depression?

In today’s blog, we’re going to unpack the remarkable story of J.K. Rowling, the best-selling author of the Harry Potter series, and the powerful lessons her journey teaches us about persistence, belief, and financial success.

You see, some of the best ways you can learn to welcome more money and abundance into your life is by using those who have come before you or those you aspire to emulate as examples or guides for your future abundant life.

The thing is, it’s easy to get so caught up in our own financial journey sometimes and forget that there’s inspiration for growth all around us!

Some incredibly inspiring people have achieved great success while still remaining authentic to themselves, so it’s a great idea to take some time to acknowledge these people and how they succeeded, and then implement some of these same strategies into your own life.

Often, even just hearing the experience of someone else, especially someone whose work, lifestyle, money mindset, and even spiritual practice is something you aspire to have, can really help us to get our minds working in new and different ways.

So, are you ready to unlock the secrets to welcoming more money and abundance into your life?

Let’s dive in!

Twenty-three years ago, Joanne Rowling, an unemployed single mother, applied for welfare benefits so she could take care of her 1-year-old daughter.

Rowling was clinically depressed at the time and occasionally contemplating suicide, she considered herself as “poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless,” and later would look back on that time in her life and say she was “the biggest failure I knew.”

During that period she finished her first novel. Twelve publishers rejected it.

The 13th took a chance on her, just like she had taken a chance on herself.

Within a short span of time, J.K. Rowling went from being a jobless single mother living off unemployment benefits to one of the best-selling authors of all time.

But again, I want to point out that her success didn’t happen overnight.

She faced rejection multiple times but still continued to strive for success.

She worked hard at her craft to become one of the best writers today before anyone noticed her.

That practice, along with strengthening herself against rejection, was what made her work unforgettable.

And wow, was her persistence worth it!

The Harry Potter series has earned over $400 million in book sales, and the last movie alone earned $476 million dollars in ticket sales... on opening weekend.

She was the first female to become a billionaire author, and not that many authors made it that far in the first place.

So what does J.K. Rowling’s story teach us?

Well, first and foremost, if you have a dream or a passion that you believe in, don’t give up on it right away.

Most successful people face failure throughout their journey, and it shouldn’t be a reason to give up on your dreams.

J.K. Rowling put this perfectly when she said:

So today before you go to bed, think about a dream or passion that you may have given up on in the past and write out WHY you stopped aiming for this goal.

Was it because you told yourself you weren’t good enough?

Did you experience one moment of rejection and decide that you were a failure?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, these could be passions worth revisiting.

So go ahead and jot down some passions you could start again - these should be the things that bring you JOY and motivate you.

You never know where these passions will take you. When you’re truly inspired and motivated, you can do amazing things.

Get inspired and create some action plans to achieve your goals.

Now, if you’re already seeking more from life… If you want something different than what you have right now… maybe a new beginning, financial freedom, or to help people achieve their full potential…
