Hey there, travelpreneur!
Can you feel the energy today?
It’s electric. It’s magnetic. It’s powerful.
Today 8/8 is the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal. The Lion's Gate Portal marks the alignment of the sun in Leo, the star Sirius (the brightest star in the night sky), the constellation Orion's Belt, and the Earth.
If you're into numerology or quantum shifting, like me, today is a cosmic holiday, considered to be the luckiest day of the year. 8 is the number of wealth, abundance, and infinity. So, it’s believed to be the most powerful day to manifest money abundance or new opportunities.
Basically, if you have some money goals to achieve, right now is the time to bring full attention to them!
This is a time of high-frequency energy that can support your goals, inspire your action, and make sure your manifestation excels.
What you create, learn, implement, launch, and invest in your travel content creator business has the power to 10x right now.
To help you get the most out of this activation season, I’ve marked down ALL of my pitch templates, pitch guides, pitch trackers, and other travel content creator eBooks to between $5 - $9.
Alternatively, you can get the whole bundle for only $33!
But hurry! These products all disappear for good when the Lion’s Gate Portal close on 12 August…
I’ve been sick with a cold for the past week, so I have no new content for you today. However, I’m excited to be launching a new freebie and other products over the coming weeks ~ August is going to be amazing, friend!
For now, let’s move on to…
