Who is interested in you anyway? – isn’t that a sad and powerful statement? For the past month I have enjoyed the luxury of having a mini retreat on the Pembrokeshire coastline in my luxury holiday lodge. Waking up every morning in the silence of the countryside, taking long walks by the sea, eating the good the bad and the ugly, having lots of rest and meditation time. Starting off the New Year, we all look for a shift in our lives. Daring to believe what might be possible in the year ahead, Reflecting upon the year that’s past,

In life I guess we all fear something, stress can make what we fear become overwhelming. Fear can feel like: False Evidence Appearing Real And because of that our reality becomes what we react to and what we live. Making that shift from fear to faith can be achieved in an instant because it’s us making a shift in our thought patterns that makes a shift in our emotions and therefore our reality becomes a completely different entity to work with and from. Aristotle said “so as we think so we become” our thoughts are so incredibly powerful. Our motivation

For the past 25 years I have worked helping people in business and I’ve had the pleasure of working with global and local brands. I always say “same problems – different faces!” When you setup and grow a business being PERSISTENT is critical to your success. Over the weekend I watched the Michael Keaton McDonald’s Franchise Movie https://youtu.be/VBIxg3XiBaw https://youtu.be/VBIxg3XiBaw A great lesson in persistence and identifying ‘what business you are really in”. Michael Keaton was obviously persistent, but I asked myself at the end of the movie, did he really need to do that! What does your persistent barometer look like

“Stop looking for reasons to be unhappy. Focus on the things you do have, and the reasons you should be happy” Loved this quote for the day I spotted online, I think there’s so much that can drag us down in life that comes from others and stuff – it’s our sole or soul’s responsibility to keep ourselves happy. Have you worked out what that is for you? I love staying connected and grounded within what I do. Staying authentic to who I am and what I stand for. Being with people who are on my

This morning I got to thinking about all the pressures that are upon women to be the same as men in business, as though being the same as a man in business offers to us anything that is more important than being ourselves as women in business! I hear repeatedly that women must be: – Tough – Independent – Authoritative – Strong – Stay totally focused – Directive I got to thinking about a tool box and wondering how useful the tools would be if there was only one type that did exactly the same things as the next! Why

When we talk about networking or our networks, have you ever stopped to think about the people (stakeholders) who you impact upon in business and who could be impacting on your business, right now? We start up in business in all good faith, initially in ourselves and then in others. We are unconscious to the larger network of people and organisations that surround us as and impact upon businesses. Our first level of stakeholders surrounding is is our family and friends. have you stopped to think what kind of a stake they have in us, what their expectations are of

And so Xmas is just around the corner, what does it really mean to you and your business? Have you really thought about how Xmas impacts upon you, your business philosophy and how in the ‘doing’, ‘thinking’ and ‘identity’ of your business this is embraced or not? Our BELIEF is core to who we are and why we do what we do and yet in business we tend to steer clear of it, so as not to offend anyone. I have noticed that people who have BELIEFS have more respect for other people with beliefs in business than those people
