LIFE isn’t always fair or easy, but it can be a damn sight easier than we allow it to be. The fairness? We can’t do anything about that – nobody hands us some special guarantee, signed in rainbows at the point of birth, promising us that life will be fair – but – it’s still […]
I DON’T CARE HOW ‘WOO’ YOU THINK YOU ARE… YOU STILL NEED TO MARKET YOUR SERVICES
If you’re running a ‘spiritual’ business and believe LinkedIn, networking and promotion aren’t for you, we need to have a talk. It doesn’t matter whether you’re working with crystals, Reiki or oracle cards… you still need to attract clients and pay your bills.

Fame. Fortune. Thousands of people waving their bank cards and bustling for an appointment. Isn’t that what happens when we’re lucky enough to bag a few celebrity clients?

LAST night I delivered a talk to business owners about turning can’ts into cans & turning down the noise on naysayers. It packed a powerful punch. Many of us are not reaching for our wants – or even doing the basic things we need to do for our businesses (think video, livestreaming, getting to grips […]

BE YOU. BE CONSISTENT. SHOW UP
I WAS running a workshop recently – part of my 13-month empowerment programme for people who really want to rediscover their personal truth and get back to what’s important.

BADASS ADVICE FOR AN AWESOME 2018
HERE it is – the new year. The interweb is full of saccharine advice and positive quotes, so here’s my own take on things. You could say it’s the anti-twee. There are a couple of naughty words in this one, so feel free to skip to another one of my blogs right now if you […]
WE NEED MORE HONESTY ABOUT THIS…
I NEED to share something with you. It’s something not enough people are honest about, and it’s something that just might help you. These past few years have been an absolute whirlwind. It seems like all those years of groundwork suddenly started to mean something – and I swear that happened because I peeled back […]
