Do you have a strategy this year? The start of the year is a great time to make a declaration for what’s most important. Not winging it again, but being clear on what a good balance looks like for you… a good balance in and out of work a balance in the type of work you’re saying yes and no to. the balance between…
The office cleaned and polished. The intention, to create an impeccable environment to invite people in and talk about their plans for 2026. Then make a declaration of what’s most important for the first three months – by Easter I will..? Use the carpenter analogy – measure twice, cut once. Then fire the gun, and…
The more set routines you have for how you do business, the more consistency, the greater the efficiency, and the fewer cock ups. And the bonus, your headspace is freed up for creativity and developing the business. You probably won’t have a set process for every eventuality, but 80%+ of the time it wants to…

If you get your business, or life, plan down in black and white you’ll be clear on why you’re doing what you do. You can create a clear vision, or destination. And you can also list the phases, steps, or stages for the route. That’s all good because it will help keep you focused and…
The phrase “make things as simple as possible but not simpler” is attributed to Albert Einstein. This can be a useful concept in both business and personal life. See if you can distinguish in a single phrase what sums up your life purpose. And from that create clear goals in a vision that are not…
If you’re trying to get into the habit of doing something new, or out of an old habit you don’t want, shape your environment to shape your behaviours.
