You’ve decided on the life you want to create. You’ve even started making progress. But then life gets in the way. Many mums and mumpreneurs can struggle staying on track with what they truly want. You might lose your inner drive, your determination or find that your commitment waivers. It may all start to feel like an impossible, unachievable dream.

Once you’ve found where to start it can be difficult to keep going, there are so many distractions in life - family, friends, the latest boxset, a new shiny idea. They are all there to tempt and challenge us. The hardest thing...

You’ve figured out what it is you want and how you want your life to look but what do you do next? How do you start creating it? It can seem a long way off if your vision is very different to how things are now, but it all starts with the first step.

Start With The Small Things

One of the easiest ways to start creating the life you want is to begin with the small changes. You could focus on those that will make an instant difference to how you feel day-to-day. For example, if you’ve decided that you would like to improve your health and fitness, then you can start by simply...

In last month’s blog post, we looked at understanding your fears a little better. Now it’s time to discover ways of coping with fear and how to push past it in a safe environment.

As we learned, fear is a primal instinct to keep us safe, it is not meant to stop us from moving forward in life. The pressures of modern life and social media have exacerbated fears that normally live on a much lower fear level. Learning to differentiate between the fears that are keeping us safe and those that are holding us back, can take time. Here are some of our favourite ways to start...

To reach your full potential you need to overcome the fears that are holding you back and this is easiest when you understand what they are, where they come from and why. What are your biggest fears, as a woman, a partner, a mother, a businesswoman, a daughter, a sister, a friend? There are fears that go with each of the roles we play in our lives. But why? What purpose do they serve?

We aren’t the only species that suffers with fear; every living animal does. The fight, flight, freeze response is rich within all of us. Even plants and trees send signals to each other under the soil...

In our last blog post we looked at how you could increase your awareness and focus so that you can maintain the success you’ve achieved. But what then? What do you do once you’ve got to where you wanted to go and have it under control? What tends to happen is itchy feet and that question, “What’s next?” Today’s blog post will give you some ideas for how you can explore the answer to that question.

The first place to start is with which area of your life you would like to work on – what would you like to be better or easier? You might decide that you...

If you receive our newsletter, you may have noticed the empowering quote from Winston Churchill: “Success is not final. Failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” I know that many of you may have a goal that you’ve been working towards for a while. But when you reach that goal you can end up feeling lost. The danger of that, is that you’ll freeze and lose focus, feeling unsure what to do next. If you’re to maintain that success, you need the courage to continue and that means building your awareness and maintaining focus. This blog will...

Success can seem like one of those things that’s always alluding you. In our last blog post we looked at how you could create a mindset for success, but it does take more than that. Many people make the mistake that it either requires action or the right mindset. The truth is both are as vital as each other. In this blog post we’ll be looking at some of the practical steps you can take that will enhance the amount of success you have. They might seem obvious but, in my experience, there’s normally at least one of these missing.

Play To Your Strengths

While having a growth...

How do you start creating your ideal life balance? In our last blog post we discussed the signs that you haven’t got that balance right for you. But, what’s next? Making changes is always tricky - our brains are designed to react negatively to change as it’s the unknown. But having a starting point can help you to begin moving in the right direction.

Be Optimistic And Realistic

I’m all for creating the best version of your life, in fact, that’s exactly what I help mums and mumpreneurs to do. However, it does also involve being realistic. There’s no point...

There’s no denying that life can be busy. You can find yourself dashing from one thing to the next and by the time you get to the evening, you wonder what has happened to your day. One month can slip into another as you march on with your responsibilities.

For some mums and mumpreneurs this is exactly how they want it. They’ve balanced the various aspects of their life in the way they want them to be and are feeling quite blissful. But how do you know when you’ve not got the balance right? Particularly when we know that we often try to kid ourselves that things are great....

You finally have some clarity. But what happens when our busy day to day lives start butting in and taking over? There’s always someone demanding attention and something urgent that needs doing. Before you know it, that clarity on what you wanted to achieve has been forgotten, buried under the everyday tasks that threaten to sink you.

To start achieving those goals you have to maintain your clarity, reminding yourself of them constantly. Read on to discover our top ways for keeping clear on what you really want.

What It Is You Want

Just thinking about what you want is not enough. It...
