The secret to not getting distracted is to focus on your why, on your goals, on the reason that this is important.   We need to almost set a very clear intention for what we are doing before we start, for why we are doing it and to remind ourselves why it matters.  Rather than just blindly taking an action, we need to really care about what we are doing.  This constant focus on...

Today's episode is for you to have an opportunity to reflect on and remember why you started. ... and where you are now in relation to that decision. Nearly 10 years ago, I made a life-altering decision that I just wanted to be happy.  And not long after that, that I just wanted to share what I was learning and discovering with other people. And over the course of the last ten years, I've hit...

Why do we do the things that we know we shouldn't do, that make us feel bad? Why do we keep repeating the same old habits and keep on experiencing the same old outcomes? We say we don't want to be doing it or experiencing it, and we think we know we are doing it, but in reality, nothing is changing.  Starting to ask yourself two questions will help you to understand why you are where you are,...

I’ve actually been quite stressed the last couple of weeks, more stressed than I have been for a long time, and this is what helped. Being honest with myself (and others) that I was stressed, not pretending everything was ok Taking responsibility for my behaviour Working out my priorities and eliminating everything else Meditating more Walking more Making a plan and then taking laser focused and t...

The quality of our base - or our foundation - is going to be reflected back to us in everything that we experience in our life. To achieve the outcome we want to achieve, in anything, there are always going to be a number of steps that we need to take. Those steps need to be taken in an order, to build on each other to help us get to where we want to be. The quality of our foundation and the stren...

Large organisations have vision and mission statements as a reminder to the public and staff as to their operating principles and values. Sports teams, schools and religious groups have a code of conduct as their reference point. What these creeds and mission statements do is a reminder of how they operate in their best version. They are aligned with their identity and how they show up. Therefore...

When you set a goal, do you name it and claim it? Or do you set a goal and then sort of hope that maybe it might happen, but you are not really holding your breath? Or - even better - do you stop yourself from even setting a goal in the first place, because it just brings up too much stuff? In this episode of the podcast, you are going to have an opportunity to name your goal, and to claim your go...

Are you wondering why you aren't seeing the results you'd like to be seeing in your life?  Have you just resigned yourself to this being it, that there is no point to trying anymore?  Or are you frustrated because despite all your very best efforts, nothing seems to be shifting in the way you would like? Do you have a plan for success?  Or are you just winging it, not really aiming...

​Gratitude is so powerful because it shapes the way we see and experience the world: what we focus on expands. So the more we appreciate, the more we have to appreciate. We tend to say thank you for things we have already received. Affirmations are powerful in that they help guide our thinking and help us to get clear on and focus on what we want. Combined, they are even more powerful. I like to t...

Imagine if your mind was the internet, your questions were a google search, and you were the one typing the question into the search bar. How do you formulate that question? You take some time to think about what you want to know, you take some time to word it in the way that you think will deliver the most beneficial answer. We know google is going to go searching all over the internet for the an...

Recently, I wrote a Memo to The Universal Marketing and Publicity Departments, handing over the creation of the marketing and publicity strategy for my new book, It Is Possible. The way we create a life beyond our present reality is to get clear about what it is that we want, and then put it out there by taking action, and taking this action in faith. Believing before we can see.  So muc...

Imagine if your biggest weakness could become your greatest strength? "Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit" - Napoleon Hill. When we gain awareness of our weaknesses, when they have been exposed and highlighted, we have an opportunity to choose to change. We have an opportunity to learn how to become strong in those areas we have...

How much time do you spend thinking about it, talking about it, worrying about it, procrastinating on doing it, beating up on yourself that you haven't done it yet, doubting whether you should do it, questioning the best way to do it? Rather than just simply, doing it. Outcomes are achieved and things get done when we get out of our heads and into the field of play. With no excuses. Not thinking a...

One of the most significant pieces of advice I picked up when I first started my business was this - stay in your lane. Staying in your lane basically means to focus on what you are doing; that the lane you are in, is the lane you are in. The lane somebody else is in, is the lane they are in. Our job is to know our own lane and not to drift into each others' lanes. We can run alongside each other,...

In a nutshell, self-esteem is your opinion of yourself and your abilities. It is the determining factor in your happiness and success. It includes: the judgement we pass on ourselves, a feeling of personal competence, a feeling of personal worth, a high level of intellectual self trust and a strong sense that it is okay and desirable to be happy in life. According to Nathaniel Brandon, author of t...

Your energetic income level is the threshold of how much money you allow yourself to receive. You may never have heard of this before, but once you listen to this episode you will never think about money in quite the same way ever again. When you understand and have the awareness of the energetic income level at which you feel comfortable, you then have the opportunity to learn how to work on the...

The gap between where we are now and where we want to be will more often than not require us to do something that we have never done before. It will require us to take a leap of faith, to put our trust into something that we can't see, that we don't know and that we can't touch. Taking a leap of faith does not mean that you don't have fear. Taking a leap of faith means that you have such a burning...

The decision to decide to change can be hard. But what happens if you avoid the hard, and you don't decide? What happens if you just keep going as you are, and nothing changes? We really need to ask ourselves - Is that acceptable? For things to remain as they are? Indecision is a decision in itself. Avoiding the uncomfortable feelings, conversations, reckonings. This is a decision. Deciding not to...

Self-sabotage is a behaviour. Behaviour becomes self-sabotaging when it creates problems in daily life and interferes with long standing goals. We are not always aware of when we are self-sabotaging because there is not always a clear link between behaviour and consequences. However, this behaviour can be overcome with awareness. In this episode of the podcast, you'll learn: - what self-sabotaging...

Your self worth is the opinion you have about yourself and the value you place on yourself. Self worth is about valuing your inherent worth as a human being, simply by virtue of you being you, and of being alive. As opposed to measuring or comparing yourself to external measures or other people - by what you do, what you have, or what you may or may not have achieved. It is about accepting that yo...

The wonderful thing about journalling, is that it is free-range. There are no rules. The process of journalling is such an incredible way to help us explore new ways of understanding ourselves and of looking at things. Journalling, combined with practices like meditation, goal setting, affirmations and afformations is very powerful. In this episode of the podcast, I'm sharing with you the wonderfu...

We say we have been "ghosted" when someone stands us up, or just disappears never to be seen or heard from again. You had every reason to believe that they would show up, honour their commitment, see through their end of the bargain but then... nothing. And we are left scratching our heads, wondering what just happened there.  But if you honestly stop and pause to reflect, ghosting doesn't ha...

Daily tracking is the best way to keep focused on what you want to achieve. It removes the over thinking and eliminates excuses. You have either done it, or you haven’t. It is a known and proven fact that what gets measured, gets improved. Tracking will measure the level of consistency, and by this focus alone will encourage a commitment to the process. Consistency in your action forms new habits...

Every week on a Monday morning I have a meeting with myself. This meeting is about me being the CEO, CFO and all-round general boss of my life, being across all the things, knowing what is coming up, and feeling excited and expansive about the possibilities for what is ahead. The purpose of this meeting is to review the week that has been, to learn from this information and to look strategically a...
