Celebrate The Royalty

Posted on June 21, 2022

I received great news on Tuesday! I received my first ever royalty payment. My book, Achieve Anything, has sold more copies than I imagined at this point! Copies have been purchased in 24 countries, across six continents, around the world.

It was really exciting to have another income stream working. But even more exciting was the thought that so many people have been interested in buying the book and changing their lives. And quite a few people have left great, gold-star reviews or reached out to me with kind words or related how much it has been helping them. That’s priceless.

So I’ve been celebrating the royalty payment today and what it signifies. Hopefully I can help or inspire far more people in the weeks and months to come.

Thank you to all of you who have bought the book, got in touch, written a review, recommended it to a friend, family member or colleague or are simply using the content to improve your own lives and therefore the lives of others too. You are awesome. I’m cheering for you and want you to win!!!

Buy Groceries Online

Posted on June 16, 2022

I love this great time saving hack. We have done so for about a decade.

Just copy the order from the week before, add a few new things and remove a few things and voilà. In under 10 minutes you have what you want being delivered to your door within a 1 hour slot on your preferred day. Amazing.

It saves over an hour of wandering around the grocery store plus travel time there and back. Your list is online and ready so no making a new one. No standing in queues. No picking up extra stuff you don’t need but caught your eye.

No petrol used, or other energy. No traffic congestion either.

It’s amazing. Try it.

Eat Less

Posted on June 15, 2022

Stop before you are full. Don’t snack. Or if you do, take 2-6 of the item and return the pack to the fridge or cupboard. Then, only eat what you took and walk away.

Drink a glass of water when you get out of bed. Have another one every time you go to have a snack or a meal.

Commit and stand tall and be proud of yourself for sticking to your plan each hour.

Move more too!

Where You Shine Your Light

Posted on June 14, 2022

Be aware of what you highlight and focus on. Just because you shine your light on one spot, doesn’t mean the other million spots you could have highlighted don’t exist. They do.

When people distract you with their preferred stories, you don’t get to work on your life story. Turned down the noise or even turn it off. You don’t need the media, your friends, colleagues, social media and entertainment to distract you.

Shine your light on your work. Stay focused. Get it done. Then take a well deserved break. Before long, get back at it. Everything else is noise distracting you from your dream life.

Flirt With Your Partner

Posted on June 10, 2022

After the initial mating rituals, this skill can get rusty. These can be simple gestures like a look, a smile, a tilt of the head, the raise of an eyebrow or a compliment even. These all add mental pleasure to a relationship. It is fun to give and receive and uplifting too!

Keep your relationship fresh and your spirit young. Flirt daily with your partner. And if you’re both a little rusty, have fun re-developing your skills. As you get older, these simple things are one of the few things you’ll be able to easily do and still get great joy from it. Start retraining today.

We Are Decision-Makers Too

Posted on June 9, 2022

We are included in the term decision-maker. We may not set policy in government, but our decisions influence who will be forming the government.

And we decide who we hang around with, where we work and live, when to pay our bills and if we want to improve our skills or market value to increase our earnings.

We decide what’s good to eat, what fitness level we want, what time to leave the party and where to put the cereal in the cupboard.

So be careful with that macro pointing stick. While the government of the day can direct broad. policy, you control thousands of more important local and personal decisions.

If you are not delighted by where you find yourself today, start looking to improve things straight away. Only you can do it. You are your own super hero. You might better start acting like it.

Decision-Makers Not Covid

Posted on June 8, 2022

I keep hearing or reading that Covid did this to us in relation to finance, mental health and the economy. It’s easy to say and rolls off the tongue without having to think much about it.

But was it really Covid? Is it really Covid still? Covid is a virus that can get into your body and might impact it. Many people may never experience it while others may have no symptoms, mild symptoms or severe symptoms. In a very small percentage of cases, it can even be the primary cause of death.

As a virus, it does its thing. But Covid doesn’t print money, adjust interest rates or make rules about lockdowns, essential businesses, social distancing, or travel policy. Nor does Covid determine the economic situation in any country. It is not a producer or a consumer.

Just like fire, Covid just is. It is individual people’s reaction to it that impacts other things in life.

If you like, or don’t like, where you or your country is at right now, then let the decision-makers know. It was, and is, them that are making decisions about your city, region or country. Don’t let them say it’s Covid. It’s not. It’s their reaction to it, so it is them.

Decision-makers around the world made different decisions and still the covid outcomes we’re similar. Some people were infected and a range of health outcomes occurred. The virus is still here but now there are a host of other unintended consequences to deal with because of decisions made and still being made.

We could all be a little more accurate with our words. The decision-makers have led us to this spot, good or bad, not Covid.

Your Health Matters

Posted on June 6, 2022

Don’t leave it to chance. Don’t be lazy with it. Be in your best shape. Eat the best, nutritious, natural food that you can.

It’s your one body for life. Treat it that way.

Eat better. Eat less. Walk more. Lift some lite weights, or cans of soup, for just 5 minutes per day. Make your body glow.

You’ll miss what you had if you don’t spend 10 minutes per day on upkeep. So easy to make it a habit. So easy not to as well. What type of person are you? Maintainer of your amazing body? Or the, ‘Who cares’, type?

Notice how this philosophy permeates the rest of your life. Be brutally honest with yourself – is this what you actually, truly want and would wish for, if a genie granted you three wishes?

Confidence

Posted on June 5, 2022

Remarkably, growing in confidence can be quick. Stand up straight, shoulders back, say, “I am enough”, and decide to be incredible or unstoppable.

Or you can build your confidence the old fashioned way by developing skills, building a list of achievements and improving all areas of your life. It helps to notice all these things and appreciate them.

Of course you could do a little of the quick version while working on the classic version. Either way, get growing your confidence!
