Taking personal responsibility for your outcomes is such a big thing in my opinion. It allows you to totally own your victories as well as your mistakes - or opportunities for learning, as I prefer to call them. So why is it such a big deal and why do so many people avoid it? Whether it's the state of your career, your bank balance, [...]
As a business owner one of the things I invest in is my company's culture. I invest time, energy and money into making sure we have a positive, caring, supportive workplace where my team can excel, my business can grow and my clients receive excellent service - every time. This isn't something that happened overnight and it's definitely not something I can "set and [...]
Money management is always a thing when you're trying to arrange finance or save for something special, so I thought I'd share my top 5 money hacks: Meal planning - figuring out your week of meals and making one trip to the supermarket instead of multiple will always save you money. It also saves time and mind power by not having to think about [...]
It might be something as simple (and necessary) as going to the gym or for a long walk, getting a massage, practising meditation or locking yourself away with a good book for an hour.
