Hi from Deb Donnell

Welcome to my online home. Thanks for stopping by to find out more about our mutual interests. This website focuses on the transformative journey of personal development and building a substantial life through entrepreneurship.

In particular, my goal is to guide you through your transformative journey by sharing stories, tips, tools, resources and more. Anything I share is either from my own experience, or has undergone deep dive research and due diligence testing by me, or people in my network of trusted advisors.

Please have a look through the articles and other content here, or download a complimentary copy of my book, Your Transformative Journey. This is an overview of your Heroic Quest to discover your true value and uniqueness, and get the tools and resources to live with purpose.

It is my hope that you'll find a gem to inspire you to take the next step in your journey now...

My Mission

To empower you to discover what makes your heart sing, and pursue passion-based ventures.

You Are the Hero in Your Life Story

You have a story to tell, one where you are the hero in your life, not a participant in other people's.

In your story, you travel from your ordinary world to discover the valuable diamonds that are buried and hidden deep inside of you. And just like any heroic tale, you will meet mentors and make allies, face enemies and tricksters, and overcome obstacles and challenges.

As you travel into the deep unknown, you will learn much about yourself, develop new skills, and grow stronger. You will find treasure, in the form of valuable diamonds, which you will want to share with others. On your return to the ordinary world, you may choose to become a thought leader, to build an authoritative business, and empower others in your communities.

 

Good Mentors Travel With You

"A mentor enables a person to achieve. A hero shows what achievement looks like."
—John C. Mather

Many times in my own life journey, I have travelled ahead of you. I've gone deep into the special worlds of personal development, entrepreneurship, publishing, and technology. I have fought and overcome demons, shape-shifters, and shadows. I have returned with many multi-faceted diamonds which I am sharing with you here, and in other projects I am involved with (these are presented within the content I publish).

As you travel your journey, I hope to travel some of the way with you, to guide you on the path of self-reflection when you need it, or to be your ally along the way. I look forward to connecting with you on the road ahead, to sit by the campfire, share stories, and lot's more.

May you find strong mentors and allies on your journey, and the diamonds you seek hidden inside.

The Diamond Metaphor

I regularly use the diamond metaphor and analogy in my communications for a number of reasons, including:

  • I grew up in and worked in the jewellery industry. I inherited my love of diamonds from my father, who is a manufacturing jeweller and valuer;
  • I studied the journey of natural diamonds, from formation to being set in jewellery and sold. This journey has many shared characteristics with our own life journey.
  • When a diamond is cut and polished, it has multiple facets. When a person starts to mine, cut and polish their rough diamonds, they become multi-faceted.
  • Diamonds are one of our most valuable gemstones. And they are not only used for jewellery; they also are used in just about every industry to help manufacture products that improve our lives and help us become the best human beings we can be.

“There are three things extremely hard:  steel, a diamond, and to know one's self.”
— Benjamin Franklin
