Or how about the challenge of switching off from work once you’ve finished, given that you actually work AND…
The Productive Solopreneur Series | Digital Minimalism
If you’re looking at ways to boost your productivity you’ve probably considered your physical environment. What is happening around you that either increases or decreases your level of productivity?
Perhaps you’ve even considered how your physical health and ability to focus on the task at hand impacts how productive you are each day.
But have you given much thought to the psychological factors that impact your daily output?
In my last blog post in this series, I looked at how to begin the pr…

Silence born from fear is not an excuse
Hi there
This post has been weighing heavily on my heart and my conscience for a few days and I have felt very challenged that I haven't said anything online about what is happening in our world right now. With the critical focus and attention on #blacklivesmatter, I've been silent. And that has been wrong!

Dear Client, Thanks But No Thanks
Have you ever said ‘Yes’ to working with a client and immediately had a sinking feeling in your stomach?
When I first started in my business I was so focused on growing my business that I wasn’t in the habit of being thoughtful about who I worked with. I thought that I needed to say yes to every opportunity because saying no wasn’t going to grow my business. So regardless of that little niggling voice in the back of my head after my first chat with a prospective client,…
The Curse Of Perfectionism
I’m a recovering perfectionist!
It’s something that I’ve struggled with all my life…well for as long as I can remember. I’ve covered this desire for perfection with a mask of excellence, ambition, hard work. In reality, I was sabotaging myself.
Why? Because perfectionism is an ideal…it’s not achievable.
I’m not alone in my perfectionist tendencies. So many entrepreneurs deal with it daily, often without even realising it.
If you mentally tick off any of the below, you might be strugg…
