UPW Virtual – September 2020. “People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky. They’re doing something differently than everyone else.” – Tony Robbins. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I spent the past 4 days completely immersed in Tony Robbins Unleash The Power Within (UPW) Virtual. I attended UPW for the first time last year, and to have been able to do it again this year was a real privilege. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the virtual event, specifically how it could be replicated at home. I was completely blown away by just how interactive the event was, and how […]

3 Steps To Crush It in 2021. “The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.” – Tony Robbins. Without a doubt, 2020 has been a challenging year for many of us. I am yet to come across anyone who has been left completely unscathed, or without having their life impacted in some way. However, with adversity there comes opportunity. Some of the greatest businesses we know today (IBM, General Motors, HP, Hyatt, Fedex to name a few), were born during a recession or other tumultuous circumstance. 2020 could be the year that destroyed you, or the year that made you. I don’t know about you, but I am […]

What I’m Unapologetically Saying No To. “I didn’t want to say ‘no’ because I didn’t want people to think I’m not nice. And that, to me, has been the greatest lesson of my life. To recognise that I am solely responsible for it, and not trying to please other people, and not living my life to please other people, but doing what my heart says all the time.” – Oprah Winfrey. My identity growing up in my childhood, teenage years and early professional career, was the ‘nice girl.’ So much so, that in high school I won the ‘nicest person award’ and the ‘friendliest person award.’ Today, the thought of […]

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin. One of the most beneficial practices I’ve developed is to take the necessary time out to power plan for the week ahead. When I plan for my week, I am really clear on the necessary steps I need to take in order to maximise my productivity and achieve all the tasks I have set out for myself. When I do this, I truly feel like I’m an unstoppable force! There are a few steps I follow in order to power plan and to set my week up for success: 1. WRITE A TO-DO LIST It may seem […]

Personal Development Update: August 2020. “Investing in yourself is the best investment you will ever make. It will not only improve your life, it will improve the lives of all those around you.” – Robin Sharma. 2020 has certainly been an unusual, challenging and difficult period for many of us. Events, plans and celebrations have been put on hold, and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the air. One of the things I try to do as much as possible, is to focus on the things that are within my control, and to let go of what isn’t. There are two things which I try my best to […]

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 […]

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 […]

“Your future is found in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what others do occasionally.” – Paula White. I’ve been working from home for about six or seven weeks now, and my daily routine has been well and truly disrupted. I have always prided myself on having a really positive and productive daily routine. I rise early, spend the first couple of hours in the day investing in myself physically, mentally and spiritually, and then begin my usual work day in the office. Like many others, self-isolation has resulted in my usual daily routine being disrupted. Whilst I was quick to create a new work from home routine which […]

“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 […]

“When you don’t keep your word, you lose credibility.” – Robin Sharma. Whether it comes to business or your personal life, there is something to be said about those who are able to keep their word. We live in a world where empty promises and consequently disappointment, are far too frequent of an occurrence. The moment you start to follow through with the agreements you make to others and to yourself, is the moment you start to see yourself as someone who honours their word. And that is what creates true self-confidence. There are a few factors to consider when it comes to becoming a woman of your word: 1. […]
