My approach to business has always been to work on the inner as well as the outer aspects, because unless you have a good foundation in place (ie physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually) it can be a challenge to make wise choices and decisions. Which is why when I left the grey plastic cubicle of corporate life I vowed that wherever and whenever possible I[...]
0 Do you have lots of ideas about what to do in your business but have a hard time making them happen? One exercise that is working for me has been to set an intention and to write down what I most want to create and manifest - every 90 days. And not just to commit it to paper but also to share it with my accountability partner. By t[...]
Although money is, essentially, just a medium of exchange, along the way it gets imbued with a whole range of emotions such as guilt, shame, greed, joy and pleasure. Each of these feelings then has a strong negative or positive impact on your financial results. Because whatever you might be experiencing, good or bad, will have a direct impact on the actions you decide to take,[...]
Does this sound familiar? You've had a great idea, you've started something new. You have high hopes and expectations - others have made it... Then, reality sets in. You get rejections. You have doubts and concerns. And your excitement starts to fade. At this point you may be thinking of giving up and trying something completely diff[...]
I guarantee that the scarcity mindset will show up in your business at some stage. Maybe you've experienced this yourself or with your clients. It's a trap that most of us fall into and one that keeps us from moving forward into our full potential. A scarcity mindset is understandable because it's usually based around making decisions whic[...]
The frustration and pressure we sometimes feel in our businesses can be due to the fact that we're taking action based on past experiences, other's opinions, old habits and outdated beliefs! Even though I was desperate to escape from corporate life I was so worried about what my family and friends would say that I nearly didn't leave. Thankfully, life wor[...]
Many of us want to do more, have more and become more. Yet, I know how frustrating it can be when despite all your desires and intentions it feels like nothing much has changed. Why is it that some people reach their goals in 6 months while the rest of us take years? There may be various reasons such as knowledge, experience, connections and confidence[...]
One of the areas I am working on at the moment is to balance my drive to get things done and take action, with the art of receiving and allowing! Having worked in a very masculine oriented work culture with a strong work ethic I find it very tough to let go, ask for support and receive more. Many of us are more comfortable being in the role of givers (of[...]
Stories capture our attention. They are everywhere... in our family history, day to day lives, novels, advertising TV and Films. It's often easier to remember a story than a bunch of facts, especially if there is an emotional element to it - rags to riches, single to wedded bliss. We all like a happy ending. Every day whether consciously or unconsciously we engage with c[...]
A year ago I started to feel less passionate about my work! I have been coaching business owners and consulting with large businesses for more than 10 years and it's been one of my best career choices. However, there is one constant pressure..... If you are in a service based business that relies on you to deliver, then, you know you have to show up -[...]
