Last week I wrote about my experience of writing a list about things I wanted to do for myself rather than my usual lists for work and caring for everyone else. My list included things like getting organised, being mindful, moving more, catching up with friends, etc, etc. I thought back about my list over the next few days and thought back to my [...]
Sometimes I get a bit lost in lists. I have lists of things to do for customers, lists for my business, lists for my team, my family, my shopping… And they all list, sometimes in great detail, the things I have to do for other people. Which is great because it keeps me organised and on task. But sometimes I really need to focus [...]
I’ll never forget my first experience of approaching a bank to apply for my first home loan. I had worked hard and saved what I thought was enough for a deposit. This in itself was a miracle based on my previous spending habits! To be turned down by that bank was heartbreaking and disillusioning. “Why bother if I’m never going to get there?”, was [...]
"If we don't band together as women to help each other, we won't move forward." Nicole Kidman I love this! It’s the basis of my business and pretty much my life. I love the concept of women helping women - whether it’s by employing them in a role that utilises their skills and matches their personality, or mentoring them in a business they can [...]
It’s no secret that Aussies love owning property. Interest rates, property values, latest sales, investment tips and hot spots are often favourite topics of conversation at social events. You could say that we’re a little obsessed. The two key factors that make property ownership so valued to us are: 1. wealth accumulation and 2. security. Our obsession makes sense, if that’s what we’re going [...]
Most of us have a response to money that is often deeply seated and unconscious. We tend to sit in one of three camps: Stress - We are concerned that we don’t have enough to cover expenses, or that we’ll never have enough, or that money is “the root of all evil”. Ambivalence - Money comes and goes and it doesn’t have too [...]
As a female business owner, employing a team of fabulous women, with a mission of empowering women to take control of their finances, International Women’s Day is a big deal to me. It’s really not so long ago that life was very different for us. We were often stay at home mothers, prohibited to even work once we were married, let alone own [...]
I was reading about a young Australian woman the other day who is the youngest person to complete the Polar Hat Trick. I didn’t even know what the “Polar Hat Trick” was so I did some more research, and found that this young woman is truly remarkable. Let me list the feats of Jade Hameister: In 2013, at age 12 Jade completed the trek [...]
It can be a bit like a trap that turns into a hamster wheel that just seems to have no exit and you just keep running! Do you know the feeling? So, how do you stop? Seems to me that there are three choices: 1. jump off the hamster wheel and hope for the best 2. keep running until a stretcher arrives to forcibly [...]
I was watching an interview on the weekend with an incredibly charismatic 76 year old woman from New York. She shared many gems and little nuggets of wisdom during the 45 minutes we had together, but one really stuck with me. She said, “Every morning when you wake up, you have a decision to make. Are you going to be your own best [...]
