My calendar tells me I am celebrating another year in business… wow.

I’ll be honest, I’ve felt like closing everything down and getting a job instead so many times that I’m surprised you’re reading anything from me today.

You've already heard of presenteeism and absenteeism... but what about leaveism? Heard of it?

Doesn't it often feel easier to NOT take any time off?

Instead, we make the lines between work and home all blurry. I hold my hands up to being half-present as a business owner and then half-present as a parent, leaving me feeling like I'm not doing either role well because there just isn't enough time to find balance.

How do you find balance in your life? It’s not an easy question to answer. Some would argue that the notion of balance just isn’t possible. But what if we reframed that as *your* version of balance?

When it comes to choosing a payment solution for your business, you just want something that’ll handle everything smoothly and efficiently, with as little manual input as possible. (That you don’t need an IT degree to set up!)

After trying out a mix of other options, I started using ThriveCart in early 2021 and was so happy to discover that it ticked a lot of those boxes for me. Here’s my honest review to help you decide if it’s right for you too.

The wheel of life is a clever little tool to assess different categories of your life and figure out what’s working (and what isn’t).

Find out how you can use it to create more contentment, balance and FUN in your life.

Success - it's a funny little thing, isn't it? It's something we crave and work towards... but rarely define in a meaningful way.

Even more than that, how many times do we give ourselves time and space to recognise all the amazing things we've already done? Could it even be that we are already more successful than we give ourselves credit for?

Since we began to call it "coaching" in the mid-1980s, the profession has evolved to include many different approaches, styles, and methods. But what is coaching, really? Can't you just have a chat with a mate for free?

Read on to find out the truth about what coaching is, what it isn’t and how to work with a coach for maximum success.

When you think about the measurement of success for your business, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Is it goals, recognition, awards, how much money you’re making?

While all of these are important, I honestly don't believe they should be the sole focus of your business. So let's explore why personal fulfilment is more important than achievement.

Don't you just LOVE LOVE LOVE a personal recommendation?

In this article, I've taken seven key needs within my business and explained exactly what I've been looking for to create efficiencies and elevate my clients' experience.

And then I'm passing on my tried-and-tested recommendations in case it helps you too!

Small business owners work long hours, juggle multiple tasks, and wear many hats. All of these things can contribute to rising stress levels if left ignored.

And when stress levels get too high, it can be difficult to maintain productivity and focus, as well as become bad for your health. Let’s talk about some ways to recognise, manage and avoid stress in your life.

It can be so tough to stay motivated and focused on our goals, especially when they seem so out of reach or we don't have anyone holding us accountable.

In this article, we’ll explore seven ways that you can stay accountable to your goals and actually achieve meaningful success.

Setting goals is one of the most important things you can do for your business. But all too often, people set goals that are unachievable or not meaningful. This can lead to frustration and a feeling of failure (believe me, I’ve been there).

I’m going to share my 4-step process to create my business goals that are meaningful, SMART and will ensure business success whatever the outcome.

“If your business isn’t growing, it’s failing” is something we hear a LOT.

But is this obsession good or bad for business? Does a business *really* need to scale in order to be successful? I’m not so sure.

Time tracking is the process of keeping track of how much time you spend on various tasks and activities.

Let’s dig into why tracking time is so important and how you can create a new habit quickly and easily without it feeling like yet another ruddy thing to action on that never-ending to-do list.

The whole awards process (from being shortlisted to winning an award) can help your business gain more exposure, attract new clients, build the brand, and improve morale between team members.

Read on for more on why business awards are good for business.

Have you heard of upper limit problems? It’s a phrase coined by Gay Hendricks in his book, The Big Leap.

Hendricks believes that every one of us has a standard-like setting, a thermostat if you will, that determines how much success and happiness we allow into our lives. Hendricks calls this an upper limit problem - (ULP) moment.

Sounds a bit “woo woo”, doesn’t it? Let me explain.

"Gender bias: unfair difference in the way women and men are treated."

Read on for some examples of how gender bias has imprinted on our brains from the moment we were little right through to the present day. And what you can do to challenge your thinking the next time you see /hear /experience bias in action.

With everything going on in the world right now, it’s tricky to know what to post on social media when work feels so small and insignificant.
