Setting Goals.

Is that an empowering phrase to you, or a scary one?

Lots of people get thrown by creating goals because they’ve had a lot of flops in the past from setting goals that were too vague, aggressive or poorly framed. Working towards a poorly crafted goal can feel daunting and unachievable. It can make you want to quit.

Have you been there? I know I have!

Instead, I want to help you create goals that are a huge ASSET to your business and your life.  When I started making goal creation a priority in my business, everything changed for me and I want the same for you. Setting effective goals allows you to achieve more by providing focus, enhancing productivity, boosting self-esteem and increasing commitment.

Did you know that solid goals could do all that for you? That’s why they are your #1 ASSET. We’re going to use that phrase to explain the 5 steps towards successful goal setting.

Sound good? Then let me show...

Great news - the lockdown in the UK is almost over...again. To be honest, I have been hearing from friends and clients lately that it has been really difficult to keep boredom, negativity and lack of motivation at bay these last couple of months. Do you feel this way?

There is a light at the end of the tunnel though as talk circulates about hotels, restaurants and foreign travel once again being a part of our lives. While the hope of these activities can bring some relief, I would challenge you that there is a more proactive action you can take today to lift your spirits that is grounded in acknowledging the upside of the present.

Can you guess what I’m talking about? Gratitude.

Gratitude is a word that is thrown around a lot. But what does it really mean?

What is Gratitude?

We are often told to be grateful, but it can sometimes seem that gratitude is more an obligation than a benefit; just another item on our...

I have a great day planned and I’m super excited! First I’m meeting a friend for lunch in a new trendy restaurant in a part of town I don’t visit often, then we’re taking a walk along the riverbank to the Tate Modern where we will see the Andy Warhol exhibition.

Does that sound like fun to you? It’s heaven for me. But what about all the other stuff I need to do? I’m launching a digital course in a few weeks, I have a live webinar to prepare, I have to do all the back end stuff like sales pages, checkout pages, email sequences and ads preparation, half term is coming up and I will have 6 back in the house for two weeks and on and on…

Does this ever happen to you? You want to do something fun for yourself, but all the things get in the way. Whether it’s all the stuff you have to do for work or for your family, a layer of guilt washes over you and tells you that you can’t take the time for...

You know how sometimes when you think something is wrong, someone will say it’s all in your mind? Or when you are trying to do something you find difficult they will say it's mind over matter?

The reason for that is that our minds are hugely powerful deciders of how we think and what we do. Sometimes our minds can bring us up and take us to places we only dreamed of reaching. Other times, they fill us with self limiting beliefs and keep us from taking action and moving forward.

I want to talk to you now about getting your mind in gear, getting it on board and thinking differently. That’s why today I am sharing

What Makes You Happy Can Make You Money

When you are passionate about what you do, success will come your way

In today's world, having a good idea for a business isn't enough. You have to...

I am so excited for this week’s topic because it’s not sexy and it’s something people don’t usually want to do.

What??

I know, I know, that doesn’t sound like something you might want to do either, but believe me my friend, when you do this one thing you will put yourself in the best position possible to begin saving hours every week and have so much more clarity about what direction you want to go in.

What am I talking about?

Productivity 101: Beginning with where you are now. Because how are you supposed to figure out where you want to go to if you don't know where you are?

Here’s how it breaks down - the classic 3 step process for problem solving is:

1. Identifying where you are now
2. Envisioning where you want to be
3. Figuring out how you get there (which is my favourite part because it’s all about taking action).

So we start at the beginning with understanding what your situation is...

• “Why did I get married” (40.5K average monthly searches)

• “How to hide a dead body” (19K average monthly searches)

• “Why do men have nipples?” (18K average monthly searches)

September is busy at the best of times with school and work starting post summer-holidays, but this year, we also have a global pandemic to add to the mix!  Not only do you need to buy new shoes, masks and stationery (I'm not even talking about the kids now ), but there are wardrobes to be rearranged, doctor appointments to make and oh yeah, a business to run!  I know you're busy and I know you have your hands full spinning 10 different plates at the same time. I hear you, I do too.

Here’s the question though: How do you get through times like this without feeling overwhelmed?

Here’s the answer: With a clear understanding of your priorities and where you need to focus your energy. Going further, you then need to turn those priorities into a set of actionable, achievable and trackable goals that will provide you with direction, focus and a path to follow towards more money and a life that is happy, satisfied and fulfilled.

Where on your list of to dos is taking care of you? Do you prioritise yourself and your needs making sure you have time for exercise, for spirituality and other self-care? If the answer is yes, you get a gold star! ! Make that 2!

If you’re like most people I work with though, you are on the very bottom of your list putting everyone else’s needs ahead of yours. Your partner, your kids, your work colleagues, your pets! Everyone else comes first which can leave you feeling drained, overwhelmed and like nothing is getting done.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you can shift your mindset to believe that you are as important as everyone else, you will be able to have the strength to not only do “all the things,” but also to be there for the people who need you most. Easier said than done? I have a solution for you, my friend. Please click the  link below to access my amazing FREE worksheet:

5 Steps to Make you Happy

Did you ever wish there was a secret pill you could take to lose weight? Or maybe a secret formula that you can use to make loads of money?

It would be great if that existed, but sadly, we all need to put in the work to see real results. That doesn't mean that we can't have help to achieve our goals and it doesn't mean that there aren't hacks to simplify the process you follow. In fact, I have recently spent a bit of time talking about the Secret Sauce That Makes Work Fun. I like to think of this as a life hack to get you the motivation and focus you need so that you do the right work that leads to big results.  

So what is the secret sauce? It's discovering your passion, your vision, your why. When you identify what lights you up, you can then align it with your business goals and create an action plan that delivers results. I teach you how to do just that in my new digital course:
