If you have dreams and aspirations that you are determined to achieve this year, creating a step-by-step plan of action will make all the difference to your chance of success! With careful planning, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to, and celebrate every small success along the way!

Maintain A Positive Outlook
If you have goals for this year, make sure each one will make a difference and bring true fulfilment to your life. Once you have identified the goals you wish to achieve, embrace the challenges they may pose with enthusiasm and anticipation. If you’re not excited...

Do you dream about being self-employed and starting up your own business? Do you crave the flexibility of being your own boss? Do you have a fabulous idea for a potential business that you know would be a huge success but you’re unsure how to get started?

On returning to work, many mums find working for other people a very inflexible and challenging experience. Juggling work commitments and childcare can be exhausting, especially when other challenges arise, such as illness and school holidays. If you are one of the many mums with a great idea for a business but you are unsure how to...

It is only early in January but how many of you have given up on or forgotten about the resolutions you made on the 1^st of the month? Don’t worry you won’t be alone! Rather than dwell on the resolutions you are struggling with, why not identify how to make a success of your true life goals?

Goal setting for success and making up resolutions at the end of a party night are two very different things! You will only set yourself up for failure if you try to achieve the impossible. Usually, a New Year resolution list will look something like this:

In recent blogs, we have discussed the importance of reflection at year-end. It gives us the opportunity to review what we have achieved, what we feel good about, what we want to do again and the things we would like to improve upon next year. We would like to share with you some of the great moments Empowering Mums experienced this year and, more importantly, the fantastic successes our many mums have enjoyed this year by taking part in our various personalised coaching programmes!

If your number one resolution is to have a better year in 2011, then these five fantastic tips should give you a head start!

Get Organised
At the top of your Christmas present list should be a request for a calendar or diary. No mum should be without one and, as soon as you start to diarise your schedule, you will find yourself becoming more organised, less frazzled and with more time to spare, as you will free up all the time spent worrying whether you have achieved everything you had planned to do!

Without a...

In this month’s Empower, we discussed the benefit of having a strict budget that would enable you to enjoy Christmas 2010 without worrying about overspending. In addition to budgeting, we’d like to share some more great ideas about how to survive Christmas without breaking the bank.

Homemade Decorations And Gifts
Christmas should be all about enjoying quality family time. A great way to do this during the run up to Christmas is to make and share lots of festive crafts. Simply collect pine cones, acorns and such like, spray them silver and gold, and hey presto you have some...

Recently, Empowering Mums has worked with many mums who are dreading the onset of the winter blues. As the nights draw in and temperatures dwindle, energy levels slump, which can leave you feeling low, rundown and uninspired. We understand how easily this can happen but rather than dwelling on the fact that the colder months are upon us, we would like to encourage all mums to keep themselves energised and invigorated by embracing a healthy lifestyle. Here are some of the ideas we have shared of late with our mums to help them look forward to the months ahead.

Get Out There!
Enjoying a long...

Wow! How manic is your life right now? If it’s anything like mine this autumn, you are probably juggling a lot of balls and trying desperately not to drop any! Here are just some of the everyday goals many mums are trying to fulfil during this time of year:

• Preparing healthy lunch boxes and cooking comforting evening meals
• Washing and ironing school uniforms
• Fulfilling work commitments
• Visiting and keeping in touch with relatives
• Trying to keep up with the...
