ABOUT ANNETTE WATSON-JOHNSON and Finances movement—a collaboration of enlightened women on a journey towards daily transformation and growth. Daily Dose of Declarations In addition to It Takes Money Honey, An- nette was recently included as a book col- laborator with the purpose of developing a movement to promote awareness for men- tal health and to combat suicide with this awareness: Daily Dose of Declarations: A 365 Day Journey To Help You Declare Posi- tive Affirmations Over Your Life. Annette opens up about her own purpose for her second collaboration: “Mental ill- ness runs in my family. While it's usual- ly swept under the rug, this book series teaches individuals how to help them- selves and their families—including those contemplating suicide or those who need to learn how to reset.” What's next on the reading list? After work- ing on these first projects, one thing is for sure. Annette is ready for more and aspires to create her own book collaboration. At the Girlz Run The World Empowerment Re- treat, Annette has some surprises in place and unique opportunities offered exclu- sively to the attendees of the event. Dinner Conversations with Womenpreneurs Hebrews 10:24-25 “And let us continue to consider how to motivate one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another even more as you see the day of the Lord coming nearer.” Annette continues to develop additional channels in sharing her message—including a four-part YouTube series titled, Dinner Con- versations with Womenpreneurs—East Coast.

Setting Boundaries: It's Okay To Say No Annette's mission of mentoring others is established through her own critical expe- riences of learning how to set boundaries and the importance of self-care. In the early years of her children's lives, An- nette had set lofty goals of finishing three degrees in three years – during which time her ex-husband and the father of her chil- dren was in the military overseas. In an effort to stay true to her self-imposed deadlines, she found herself stretched in the areas of mental, physical and spiritual health. Through pushing herself past the limits, An- nette started to develop hives. After many tests with no clear indications of any explana- tion for this development, a doctor inquired to the level of anxiety in her life. The impending conversation led to the realization that Annette needed to take im- mediate action in resetting her life to avoid further nerve damage, which could have ultimately led to a mental breakdown. After coming to this realization, she was able to finish school in a balanced way. “The reality is that a lot of people are go- ing through the same in their twenties,” explains Annette. “People will use you, and then you get stuck in follower-ship. By building a legacy of support and hope through her network of like-minded women, Dynamic Participators is forging a strong path of growing the movement on a national level and touring the Unit- ed States to spread of vision of hope and abundance. n F ounder and CEO Annette Watson-Johnson has a plethora of knowledge in the trilogy (Mental, Physical and Spiritual Wellness).
