Every once in a while, I like to take some time out to reflect and consider life lessons that I’ve learned. I’ve recently developed a new habit of regularly checking in with myself to ask some important questions – what has gone well? What hasn’t gone so well?

Even amongst some of the most difficult situations and experiences, there is always a lesson to be learned. In this solo podcast episode, I share key insights on some of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned. You […]

Building a personal brand is a necessity in today’s digital age. If you do not have an online presence, not only are you doing yourself a disservice, however you are also doing a disservice to the people who need to hear what you have to say, in the way that only you can say it. I know that putting yourself ‘out there’ can be daunting. I’ve had to do the work to get to a point in my life where I can feel the fear and do it anyway, simply because my purpose in life exceeds the feelings of discomfort, fear and self-doubt. In fact, every single one of us […]

“It’s important to build a personal brand because it’s the only thing you’re going to have. Your reputation online, and in the new business world is pretty much the game, so you’ve got to be a good person. You can’t hide anything and more importantly, you’ve got to be out there at some level.” – Gary Vaynerchuck. If you followed me along on my Instagram stories last week, you may have seen that I woke up at 3:50am 5 days in a row to attend a virtual Build Your Brand Masterclass. This was run by Tony Robbins, Dean Graziosi and Russell Brunson. There were also some pretty spectacular guests including […]

How to beat procrastination. “A day can slip by when you’re deliberately avoiding what you’re supposed to do.” – Bill Waterson. Procrastination is something that many of us have experienced at one point or another. How many times have you set out a task for yourself to accomplish in a given day, only for the day to have passed and you’ve done everything but that task? Procrastination can kill our dreams, and prevent us from achieving our goals. It can prevent us from doing the meaningful, life changing work that we were destined to do. Understanding the reason behind your procrastination is crucial. There are a few strategies I’ve put […]

How to Keep Criticism From Killing Your Dreams. “Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticised anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.” – Eleanor Roosevelt. Criticism is something we have all experienced in our lives at one point or another. I know I certainly have. We can be criticised for just about anything – from the relationship we are in, to the friendships we keep, to the clothes we wear, the colour or style of our hair, the work that we do, for speaking up about something we feel passionate about…the list goes on. Aristotle once said […]

How I Get Myself Out Of A Mid-Year Slump. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” – Aristotle. 2020 has well and truly been a challenging year for many of us. I am yet to come across a single person whose personal or professional life has not been impacted in some way as a result of recent events. Our plans, commitments and routines have been derailed, resulting in many of us feeling overwhelmed, anxious or simply burnt out. Despite our current circumstances, I generally like to take some time out mid-year to reassess my goals for the year. What has gone well? […]

The Exact Script I Used To Negotiate My Annual Credit Card Fee. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.” – Nora Roberts If you follow me on social media, you may have seen last week I negotiated my annual credit card fee. I am not normally one to question fees and charges, and often just pay them and move onto the next thing. But I’ve been doing a lot of work recently on my money mindset, and what money means to me. I’ve also been working on developing my negotiating skills, and am actually having a lot of fun with it. In the past, I would have been […]

5 Powerful Lessons On Creating Breakthroughs. “Learn to use the fear. Dance with the fear because it is not going away… use the energy.” – Tony Robbins. COVID-19 continues to be an unusual, uncertain and challenging time for many of us. We have all been affected in some way or another, some more so than others. I have chosen to look at this period as an unbelievably rare time in my life to do all the things I have wanted to do, but have never found the time for. I have used this as an opportunity to reach out and build connections with others, work on developing my business and […]

“If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.” – Jim Rohn. Do you have difficulty in achieving your goals? Do you find that you start your goals, but rarely see them through to the end? If so, it’s likely you’ve been making excuses. Irrespective of whether your goal is to start an online business, write a book, start a blog, achieve your fitness goals or anything else, excuses enter your mind and your life and prevent you from achieving the things you want to achieve. If you want to achieve your goals, you must raise your standards and start to live […]
