1. Get over your Summer Blues !

   Posted on 12:00pm Wednesday 31st Jul 2019

   I have listened to many consultants that worry about the fall in client work throughout the summer months. For me this is something that you should only experience in your first year until you get your business model right. 

   • What types of services and products can you offer during the summer months that will continue regardless of holidays?
   • Do you offer Summer Specials to generate interest and cashflow opportunities?
   • What is the balance between your products and services?
   • What % of your income is from the internet?

   I'm happy to talk - please don't feel alone with this stressful situation. I have been there and it requires a fresh approach!

   Here's the link to my calendar - book in 20 minutes for us to get ideas and some quick wins.

2. Living the Dream

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 7th Jun 2019

   It's all be quiet on here and there is a very good reason for this. I have been through a rapid transition both professionally and personally and have just come back to the UK after an amazing 3 week trip travelling from the UK to Corfu via France and the East Coast of Italy. Russell and I were inspired by Gino D'Acampo's The Italian Escape series.

   I have a love of photopraphy so if you want to see the amazing places we wentt to please go to our blog on facebook: @livingthedreamcorfu

   It was one of the most interesting journeys in a T5 VW van and latterly some quirky hotels. During the journey I wanted to test how easy it was to continue to work with clients remotely and on the whole this worked well.

   So our social experiment is over and we are looking forward to seeing everyone next week at the Festival of Work at Olympia.

3. Looking after yourself - Healthy inside and out.

   I'd like to share with you one of my secrets to success.

   3 years ago I discovered Arbonne. An amazing range of Vegan, Gluten Free products that help with your nutrition to maximise your health and energy.

   In addition to this the range of skincare and make up products not only make you look great but are all botanical and beneficial.

   So if you lack energy, want to maximise your sporting performance or just want to look your best please take a look.

4. This is why I love my life...

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 8th Mar 2019

   On International Women's Day I want to reflect on a conversation I had with a lovely lady earlier this week.

   I have always been passionate in seeing potential in people and inspiring and motivating people to stretch themselves to try new options. I heard the sadness that this lady had in her voice as she thought she had no option but to retire at the age of 60 because she couldn't get a role in HR, after many years at a senior level.

   We spoke about the options of being a consultant and smashed some myths about age and that you can have contol over the hours you work and when you work.

   A few hours after this call she contacted me to say that she had now changed her LinkedIn profile from Retired to Consultant and was going to attend our workshop.

   and this is why I love what I do. There is nothing better that somone having hope for a better future.

   Have a great weekend.
