For some reason I was always intimidated about trying Barry’s Bootcamp UK classes. No idea why but I was. In June last year I set a goal to do 4 by the end of the year. The 1st class was tough but enjoyable in a crazy way. Was definitely out of my comfort zone. Surprisingly I managed to smash through the goal and do 8. ***********************************In 2019 I reset my goals ( only 12 classes this year –…
Achieving your goals successfully is a result of consistent and persistent action or as one of my favourite hashtags says #bebetterthanyesterday. Jumping in and out of things won’t build long term success.
The Evening Standard magazine in London, UK, ran this article (written by Rosamund Dean) in their 18th January edition. It made a lot of sense to me and I wanted to share it. The article summarised 6 areas where experts (gurus) provided ideas on how to implement small changes into your lives in 2019 to make the year your best ever. It is well illustrated and written in a simple easy to follow manner (and…
We often play mind games or find excuses when we want to do something but procrastinate and delay starting or getting it done. this quote summarises that to a T.

As we go into the crazy Christmas season, people don’t often give much thought to their goals and rather over indulge in festive food and drink so planning their goals for the next year is not really a consideration. I am personally not going to wait until January for this and have started incorporating the following into my days. Fitness: Setting Specific Goals I read a quote which said ‘Summer bodies are made in winter’…
As I have spent more time on personal development in the latter part of this year (more so than ever before in my career) as well as learning how prevalent anxiety and stress is all around us, I have thought about different ways to help reduce stress. As we get to the end of the year, it is definitely the case that stress levels rise, caused by a combination of (i) stresses at work around…
Over the last few months, I have been actively focusing on personal development and investing in myself. Finding your Why, and developing the right Mindset are critical pillars to establishing and achieving your goals. Definition of Positive: “Full of hope or Confidence”; or “a desirable or constructive quality or attribute” Definition of Mindset: “The established set of attitudes held by someone”; or “A person’s way of thinking and their opinions”. Some of the key things I have learnt…
Some days we all just go about our routine doing the things we like. I am guilty of this I know. Put another way, we stay in our comfort zone. it inspires me to read about people that push themselves to do things that make them uncomfortable- that is how we ultimately grow. That is something I am focusing on! This quote captures the essence of that:
This quote below can be seen on various social media sites but in today’s competitive world, I believe many starting out in their careers perceive they don’t have what it takes or need money to succeed. Sadly many of the points here are often overlooked as a lot of people feel entitled to jobs, promotions etc.
I recently read an article by Brigette Hyacinth, an author, on how one of her bosses had a profound effect on her and even though he left the company years ago, she cannot forget him or the lessons she and others learnt. It made me think about some of my experiences over the course of my 26-year career and how fortunate I have been to work for some great bosses. Some of them remain…
I came upon this quote and it resonated with me. We have 1 life and really need to make the most of it and not look back and say …if only I had done that…. The words in the picture below say it all.
I freely admit that I am a bit of a coffee snob and one of my goals is to find the perfect coffee. With that in mind, I love trying out the independent coffee shops in London. Often they have a quirky vibe, interesting menu and the staff have incredible passion when it comes to the coffee they serve. Below, in no particular order, I have captured my journey across the coffee shops of London.…
As you can probably see from earlier posts, my mantra is to try and make the most everyday and “be better than yesterday” This quote captures that theme in another way which I like and thought I would share:
A bit of a rant here. Water is such a precious commodity and one that many people take for granted. One of my biggest bugbears is when people just leave the tap running at the gym whilst they are shaving or doing their hair etc. So many people struggle with little or no water yet the amount we waste is crazy….not everyone can just turn on the tap and water flows freely. Let’s all try…
It’s very easy to forget that everyone has their own journey and challenges. It’s not always about us!
There is no point in not giving something a go as the results will never be successful. This quote summarises it well – try and you have a chance at scoring/progress/success!
Find your passion in life and pursue it. There will be plenty of naysayers- ignore them You may set a goal of an industry/job that you want but remember there are many twists and turns Key themes: Adaptability / flexibility / and embrace change Learn to compromise- you may not always like the people you work with or agree on their ideas: Stay Humble, Be authentic Treat everyone the way you expect you be treated-…
Often we live in the past and let the past define our mindset. Every day is a new day to forge the future. This quote summarises it well!
The best time to start is now. This quote is exactly what I need as I try to develop my property business. Thinking about it and talking about it must give way to taking action! Have a great week.
