As a business coach and life coach, the subject of failure comes up somewhat often. Firstly, I believe that failure can be real or perceived. If your business is showing a substantial loss month after month and you’re about to go into bankruptcy, then it may be an actual failure. However, sometimes there is…
Time and time again we hear why it’s important to get organised. This is true, being organised really does help, whether you’re a student, individual, manager, CEO or business owner. In my decades of business coaching, I’ve seen some super organised people, and well, others which definitely could improve a little. Whichever category you fall…
I love helping clients set goals. Whether it’s personal goals or business goals, having very clear and written down goals not only helps us know our direction, but we are more likely to achieve those goals. When you set goals you’re taking control of your life and your situation. You have clarity and direction. When…
These really should not be a secret, and it’s out there. But hey, if I said “15 boring business things you’ve gotta do” you probably wouldn’t have even given this article a second look! Not that I think any of these is boring; it’s exciting when you focus on your business and grow a business…

It’s summer and coming close to the end of the year and it is often the time we sit back and review what has transpired and think about our upcoming goals. Now, firstly may I say goal planning and NOT New Year resolutions. Goals or objectives set at New Years are virtually worthless. For a…
As a business coach, I get asked about motivation a fair bit. In fact, I was asked again only the other day on Facebook and thought – that’s my next blog! Keeping positive, motivated and driven is not always easy. Actually, the word ‘motivated’ can mean so many things – driven, inspired, moved, enthusiastic and…

It’s that time of the year again when you have to reevaluate your business goals.
