“YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BUT NOT EVERYTHING”
Wise words from David Allen, (a productivity consultant and best selling author of Getting Things Done), but so easy to forget. Especially when you are a mum and multi-tasking to the point of self-combustion on a daily basis. It has been scientifically proven that Continue reading ““YOU CAN DO ANYTHING BUT NOT EVERYTHING””
…HOW DO I MAKE A VISION (OR DREAM) BOARD?
If you’re anything like me and on a bit of a self development quest (either knowing where you’re going or simply wishing you did), you have probably heard a lot of talk about a ‘vision board’, also known as a ‘dream board.’ So what is it? Well the idea is that in order Continue reading “…HOW DO I MAKE A VISION (OR DREAM) BOARD?”
MINDSET SHIFT SUMMIT 2018 REVIEW
So, as I’ve already mentioned, one of my aims for 2018 is to do something towards personal development every day.

FINDING THE RIGHT NICHE…
Are you (like me) wondering which business direction to go in? Confused as to whether to broaden or narrow your business ideas? In this great article from Talented Ladies Club, Hannah Martin sets the record straight;

MY (FEMALE) ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
Welcome into our lives 2018 (cue raucous applause and party poppers). What will this new year hold?

FUTURE PROOFING AND UP-SKILLING WITH DIGITAL MUMS
During my maternity leave, I made a decision to really work on self development, knowing that becoming a mummy would be challenging and push me beyond anything I’ve ever done before.

FINDING A PURPOSE…
I’ve always been a bit envious of those people with a clear idea as to what their purpose is, almost wishing I too could label myself and ‘belong’ somewhere!
