How I Spend Every Saturday. “Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning and focused effort.” – Paul. J. Meyer. Having a solid and consistent routine is something that I cherish. I love the days where I rise early and accomplish so much before 9am. It’s days like this where I truly feel like an unstoppable force! I’ve often spoken about and have previously shared my morning and nightly routines. However, one thing that I have not previously shared in detail is how I spend every Saturday. I wanted to write this post as I often receive questions as to how […]

How I’m getting organised for 2020. “The key is not to prioritise what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.” – Stephen Covey. 2019 has been a huge year of personal growth and development for me. I invested in myself in more ways than ever before. I started working with a coach on delivering powerful presentations. Attended numerous business and personal development events. I conquered my fears. Started a podcast. Optimised my routine and schedule. Read one personal development book per month. Listened to at least 3 podcasts per week. I made some tough decisions. I stood my ground. And most importantly, I realised the true power that lives […]

“You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make.” – Gordon B. Hinckley. I’ve always been fascinated by what people are willing to sacrifice, or not sacrifice, in order to get ahead in life. I’ve come across many people who have big dreams and big goals, but don’t necessarily have the stomach to do what it takes. There are certain things which I’m absolutely not willing to sacrifice and those include my health, happiness, peace, family (and a handful of close friends I consider to be family), my values and morals. However, there […]

How I Stay Motivated to Work Out Even When I’m Busy. “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn. One of the things I’m frequently asked about is how I stay motivated to work out, even when I’m busy. I’ve always maintained an active lifestyle and working out for me has always been part of who I am and what I do. There are so many benefits to working out. Aside from the obvious physical benefits, research by Stanford University has proven that working out contributes to increased energy, elevated mood, reduced stress and better quality sleep. Despite managing a busy schedule, working […]

“To be calm is the highest achievement of the self.” – Zen Proverb. One of the things I’ve constantly strived to achieve is a sense of calm and order in my life. Being organised is something which has innately been me. However, being more calm is something which has required practice and effort. I’ve always admired those who are able to remain calm amongst chaos. Remaining calm irrespective of whether you are in the workplace, home or in any personal relationship is a huge competitive advantage. It is a skill, and a valuable one one at that. In this article, I share the key practices I’ve put in place to […]

5 Books That Have Had The Greatest Impact On Me. “Read 500 pages every day. That’s how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.” – Warren Buffet. A few years ago, I made the decision to invest in my personal and professional development. A part of that commitment was to read at least one personal development book per month. Since making that commitment, I have consumed a plethora of knowledge and information that has opened my mind to new ways of doing thing – both in business and in life. Here are the five books I’ve read that have had the greatest impact on me to date. 1. A […]

3 Things I Do To Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle. “To keep the body in good health is a duty… Otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear” – Buddha. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is something which is incredibly important to me. I am a big advocate of maintaining a level of mental and physical health. When I work out and eat well, I feel better and I make smarter decisions. There’s nothing worse to me than making bad lifestyle decisions and then having to bear the consequences. Diet and exercise are two buzz words that are constantly thrown around- there is always the latest trend […]

How to Achieve Morning Mastery & Conquer the Day. “Either you run the day or the day runs you”- Jim Rohn “Work harder on yourself than you do on your job”- Jim Rohn So, you’re interested in becoming a morning person? Let me start by saying I used to be one of those people who dreaded waking up early. I used to snooze my alarm not once, not twice, but at least 3-4 times before I could open my eyes enough to see that I had slept way past what I should have. Admittedly, I developed some bad habits where I had to scramble to get myself into shower and […]

For those of you who have been following me for a while now, you know how much I value and believe in self-care. It is so important to take time out of your busy schedule to focus on you and your needs. I find this is particularly important for career women, mums and those super-mums who somehow find a way to do it all! As much as I love to live a busy lifestyle, taking time out is necessary for the mind, body and soul. Here are a few things I like to when I need to take some time out for myself and indulge in a little self-care: 1. […]

5 Habits of Highly Effective People. Have you ever gotten yourself into a slump or developed some really lazy habits? Have you tried to get yourself into a good morning routine, but just can’t commit to getting yourself up that little bit earlier each morning? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are not alone. I have to admit, I started developing some pretty bad habits towards the end of last year. I was going to bed really late, snoozing my alarm multiple times and missed my gym session more often than not. By the time I made it home, I was so exhausted that all I […]
