A scarcity mindset is understandable because it’s usually based around making decisions which will have an impact on the future. We are worried about ‘How much will this cost?’ ‘Will thi[...]
0 Many business owners will admit to having some negative thoughts around selling. It conjures up images of unwanted calls, pushy sales people and feeling pressure to make a decision to buy. Unfortunately any self-sabotaging beliefs you hold about the sales process will get in the way of you making a profit in your business; which, of course, you need in order to re[...]
When life is very busy and I'm in full production mode I can quickly lose touch with my inner wisdom, intuition and guidance. As Albert Einstein wrote, 'The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

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.

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[...]

It's a trap that most of us fall into and one that keeps us from moving forward into our full potential.

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businesses can be due to the fact that we're taking action based on past experiences, other's opinions, old habits and outdated beliefs!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[...]
