One of the biggest misperceptions that we have is that the more we earn, the more we’ll have. Sadly, this isn’t always right and it ends up being “the more we earn, the more we spend”. It’s a little trick that our mind often plays on us that when we have “extra”, we can afford it, or you can reward yourself for working harder [...]
I was going to write about Ash Barty this week as her performance at the Australian Open was phenomenal - but then along came the Winter Olympics and the snowboarders competing in the women’s slopestyle final. They truly blew me away. Every single one of them. Not only did they display amazing athleticism, skill, daring and lots of death defying tricks, but their display [...]
2022 hasn't really started off as planned, has it. But there is a really good lesson we can learn from all this and that is that we have a choice. We can either get caught up in the negatives, the fear and concerns or we can focus on what we want, where we're heading and the plans we have. And the latter is my [...]
Money in relationships can be a maker or breaker. It can be a real challenge when long held beliefs around money creep into a relationship. As a couple you may have invested a lot of time and effort into making the money side of the relationship work. It can become difficult when your values are not aligned. When one of you lives in the [...]
Motivation is such an important part of life, work and play. It’s something we need to harness and nourish so we can get to where we want to get to. But how do we do that? For me, the first thing that I have to do is to make sure that what I’m working towards genuinely feels right and “fits”. If it doesn’t, then [...]
I’ve been talking to a lot of people lately who want to buy a home but they’re paralysed from taking action because of property prices and uncertainty. Prices are outrageous in many instances. It is hard to save a deposit and to get finance to buy the home you want. It can be really scary and seem like an impossible task! But it’s not [...]
Happy New Year! New year, new you and all that stuff. I know that for me, the start of a new year is an exciting time because it's my starting line to work towards some outrageously fabulous and exciting goals as well as some tiny but meaningful goals. All of the goals that I set are designed to stretch me, make me a little [...]
We're almost ready to kiss 2021 goodbye and welcome 2022. A new year means a fresh start and I'm looking forward to it. There are lots of lessons I'll be taking from 2021 that I'm grateful for. The main three are: 1. The importance of excellent service. 2. The need for an engaged client base who you keep in contact with regularly. 3. The [...]
Twas the week before Christmas and everyone was going crazy… running here, running there, doing this, doing that, buying everything, seeing everyone… it’s all just a little bit insane at this time of year. On Monday night I managed to sneak in an hour of downtime for myself and went to a meditation session. I didn’t really want to go. I was busy! But [...]
With all the Christmas celebrations in full swing, this time of year can be exhausting. We're racing to finish all those jobs at work so we can have a clean slate for the new year. We're trying to see everyone that we haven't seen for months - but for some reason, we need to catch up before Christmas. We're shopping for presents, planning meals, [...]
