The Ambitious Mother
Today I thought I’d write about something that happens to us all from time to time…. Getting the suckies. You know, when things suck a bit. There have been a few bad days in there lately and although my resilience and positive mind frame usually kicks in after a day or so, this time it didn’t […]
Beer. That’s the code word in our home for when there’s been enough biz talk and my partner is about to blow his top in frustration at having to listen to any more gabble about my business. I’m not going to lie to you. This topic is raw for me. I’ve experienced a lot and […]
I’m about to share something super last century with you. Actually it’s super last last century but do you know what? I don’t care. I’m actually so at peace with this that no amount of technology will likely change me. I’m super old-fashioned – and proud of it! Okay, so here it is… I am […]
Tim forgot all about my first Mother’s Day #heartbroken It was the first REAL Mother’s Day for me (because up until then I’d only been a “cat-mum”) and I remember waking up on Mother’s Day and seeing pictures of my Mother’s Group friends on Facebook enjoying breakfast in bed, getting framed photos of their kids […]
I was first introduced to the idea to ‘eat the frog’ by my mentor and friend Jo Karabin, CEO and founder of Australian party plan company PASH in 2009. As a national manager for PASH, I had built a successful team of around about 75 consultants. The job wasn’t so much about direct selling, as it was about juggling […]
For most women, running a business is quite a personal journey. We tend to apply strategies to our sales, marketing and communication that are very heart-centered and although we run our businesses to make money, we also run them because they light us up in some way. It gives us joy. It brings excitement and […]
Every time I get an invitation to go to a women’s networking event, I can barely contain my excitement. Where some find inspiration in religion, the beach or meditation; I find it in listening to others’ stories about their personal and business journeys. Yesterday was the peak of inspiration for me. At a gorgeous and […]
Ever feel like you’ve been busy all day yet nothing of true importance has ever been accomplished? There’s always stuff to do and there’s always those random, incidental tasks that pop up every micro second that need our attention. Or do they? Not everything is urgent or important. Yet we tend to make life that […]
Each day is a gift. There are 7 days in a week. 5 days in a ‘typical work’ week. 24 hours in one day. I read somewhere that the ideal day should be split into 3 lots of 8 hour brackets. | 8 hours of sleep | 8 hours of work | 8 hours of […]
A planner is an essential planning and organisational tool for anyone who wants to achieve more, improve their time management and reduce general overwhelm and stress in their lives. You only need to walk into any department store or stationery store to be spoilt for choice when it comes to diaries and planners and it […]
Prior to having children, meal planning wasn’t a thing. It worked really well for us to just decide what we were going to have for dinner on the day, at dinner time. If we felt like something in particular, it was quick and easy to just pop out and pick up a couple of things […]
How to make friends with time… My heart thumped louder than the clock ticked. Time, time, time. With every passing second I became further behind with the tasks I’d set for the day. There became a moment where I felt that I’d collapsed on the hamster wheel and instead of running with it, I was […]
