If reading was my first love, writing is absolutely my second.
Diaries, Journals, Essays…any excuse to get my thoughts on to paper. When I came into the world of blogging in 2010 I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Hundreds of blogs and 8 books later I still haven’t lost my love for getting my thoughts down for others to read.
In this blog you will find my views on the world, what I am up to in the world of business, travel, adventuring and speaking and hopefully find some useful practical advice which will help you take more inspired action.
It REALLY is a Circus out there
This morning I did my normal thing of waking up before the kid did and having a cheeky browse on social media to see what had gone down over night. Many of my clients are on different time zones, so this has nothing to do with my addiction to my phone, and more to do...
Are you just winging it online right now?
Listen, I am as much about going with the flow as the next online business owner...when you see an opportunity you go for it right? A gap appears in the market you try and plug it with your products and services? A massive global shift occurs, you bend and adapt...it...
What kind of Tribe do you even want?
Oh, "I'm growing my Tribe" they say #bossbabe #influencer #yourvibeattractsyourtribe Post that all over your social...and that'll do it. Now I am not going to start slamming people with a dream, but there is this bullshit belief that social media number equates to...
The moment I stopped being a lurker
I was 15 years old and going into my last year of secondary school. I'd not long moved to a new area, and had started knocking about with my school mates who already lived there...it was all very exciting. That freedom you have as a teen to have a whole life your...
Say goodbye to your competition
I recently went through a rebranding exercise. One of the things I had to consider was my competitors and I had a real aversion to it. I just didn't want to do it. It felt like such a pointless exercise. Because, as I see it I have no competition. Hear me out. I am...
Who are ya, who are ya?
Do you ever feel like you are not completely showing up in your business? It's not about being a fake or a fraud, or even about being shy or invisible online. It's more about feeling the need to compartmentalize your life so that you can repackage up who you are and...
You don’t need to get in front of EVERYONE
This morning a photo popped up on my time line on Facebook and it was the perfect reminder of a lesson I am teaching in my Kickstart your Tribe Building challenge. It was me on national TV. But here is the thing...that moment was not the moment that defined my...
So you want to lead then?
I don't really do politics. Apart from I do...or at least I have. Many years ago I worked in local government, and so part of that job was updating and to some extent appeasing local politicians. I worked on the London 2012 games, helping prepare local authorities and...
My dirty little secret…
Did you know I once got arrested? Was put in a cell and everything. Yep...aged 11 and I was caught with my best mate shoplifting in Boots. It wasn't my finest moment, and sadly wasn't my first time stealing either. It's not like I didn't know it was wrong, I was...
