It's a fact that people in business don't want to talk publicly about being scared. Instead, they usually want to talk about success and confidence and 'look at all the people queuing down the street to buy my stuff.'  

Unsurprisingly, I'm not one to...

Last week was heeeccttiiccc, let me tell you. Meetings, seminars, negotiations, ideas and finalising the details of our next magazine issue coming to you later this month. It was one of those where I looked back on Friday and thought, is it all worth it? 

I was...

PSA - No one is going to buy from you if they don't know you exist.

Sounds obvious, right?

Well, apparently, not so much. You see, I talk to people every day who are terrified of becoming visible in their businesses and, in some cases, their lives because the truth is, once...

Here's something that made me laugh last week: I saw a post on Instagram that went like this: Running a business is a walk in the park... Jurassic Park

We've been friends for a little while now, so you know I'm all about a great business message and good energy, but let's...

Here's something that has been keeping up lately (and as a girl who loves her sleep, this is not usual): 

Why do we keep doing things we don't like or that don't improve our lives in the name of our business? 

I see it all the time; somehow, somewhere down the...

How often do you find yourself holding back?

Perhaps you've been invited to speak from the stage, had a chance to raise your hand in a meeting and offer an opposing view, speak up about injustice or advocate for yourself in the home, and you turned it down, sitting...

I've been off on my travels again! This time, taking in the sights and sounds of London. I love our nation's capital with all of its vibrancy and noise; everywhere you go, there's something new to see or experience, and I always want to drink it all in before the next thing...

Great brands are everywhere, and, given 30 seconds, most of us could name one that resonates with us. It could be your go-to comfort food, a tech giant, a kitchen appliance, or a fashion brand – there will be something about it that you just, like. And I bet it's not just...

I had a lovely few days off recently, taking actual time away from my business, travelling around and spending time with friends. For part of that time, I was staying close to the sea, which always sets my creativity on fire I'm not sure if it was that or having an...

How often do you wish you were somewhere other than where you are?  

If I were just three/ six months down the road, I would/ could (fill in the blank). 

Sound familiar? 

By wishing we were somewhere other than where we stand, we focus on what we lack...

Last weekend was a bank holiday in the UK, and I was in bed with a head cold... The audacity! 

I had plans for the weekend, which included getting ahead on various projects and taking a walk or two, but there I was in my PJs, coffee on the nightstand, and a...

 What do you really want for your business? I don't mean kind of, sort of, well I think I would like _________ ← Insert thing you just thought of here.  

I mean, what do you want? 

Go ahead, think it over; I'll wait.

Way back in 1860, American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The first wealth is health", which got me thinking about why, after 164 years, we have not yet got the memo.  

I see it all the time (and I have been seriously guilty of this myself): We push,...

Here's something I've been asking myself since I heard it on a call with a bunch of amazing business people last week: How much can this moment deliver to me? 

As it always goes, this message arrived at a time when each moment was little more than a colourful furry...

Have you ever been in a room with another business owner when, in conversation, they lean in, almost like they're about to reveal a big secret? In hushed tones, you about make out the words?... 'part time job.'

Que the entire room falling into stunned and appalled silence...
