From Uncomfortable to Unstoppable!
Tuesday I went into the studio to record my audiobook with the lovely Zoe, founder of Creative Audiobooks.
She was great and very accommodating. Although doing something for the first time (i.e. recording an audiobook) feels a bit uncomfortable, Zoe was a real pro and made it easy to settle in.
After we adjusted the kit and space to my preferences, we were under way. With Zoe’s patience and easy working style, I settled in and got more comfortable by the minute. In no time at all we we’re working well together and getting the work done at a good pace.
By the end of the day, I didn’t want to stop. I was, er, unstoppable ?.
I was there for almost 8 hours. I kept trying and improving. It’s the same for anything. Get started. Push through the discomfort. Keep going. Improve. Gather momentum. Become Unstoppable.
It’s the way we really achieve anything!

Enjoy The Buzz
When things are going well, be sure to enjoy the moments.
It feels good and you get positive reinforcement.
My book, Achieve Anything, is on Amazon bestseller lists in 5 countries, that I’ve seen tonight! Incredible. In Germany it’s made it to 10, 11, and 15 in three categories when I first saw it Sunday night. Wild!!
It’s also made bestseller lists in India, Brazil, UK and USA.
I’m enjoying the buzz. ?

Call Someone
Have a great conversation today. Call your Dad, Mom, sister, brother, best friend, old friend or other relatives.
Have a laugh or a cry. Mend a fence or build a bridge. Plan a book launch together or an outing.
Don’t put it off. Do it today.

Serendipity Happens
I love serendipity and you should too. That positive things are happening by chance is an incredibly fortunate thing.
Whether you think there is a true serendipity or it’s simply, ‘the more seeds you sow, the more ye shall reap’ doesn’t matter. Even if it were really the idea of, ‘the harder I work the luckier I get’, you should pay attention to serendipity.
Look for it. Recognise it. Acknowledge it. And be grateful for it. Thank the universe each time. Then maybe, like a well appreciated friend, you’ll find the universe coming through for you again and again.

Look Carefully
Look into the details. Learn all you can. Ask clear questions. Require specific details in the answers. Make informed decisions. Don’t get caught out. Trust but verify. Look before you leap. Don’t just assume all will be fine. Get into the weeds on it.

In Search Of Better
I find myself thinking this way quite often. I tend to think of what could be better or how I could make something better. Has this always been my way? I am not sure. But I think it has, at least for somethings.
At school I wanted to get better grades, so I worked at that. In sports I strived to be better than I was, either in skill, stamina or execution. So I trained more, paid closer attention and made refinements.
It has probably become part of my regular thought process. It is exciting to make improvements, either your own, or in ways to help others. In our property business, we look out for houses that could be improved and provide a better home for people.
We also need to remember to celebrate these successes and improvements. Be grateful for them. Be careful you don’t become someone who is never satisfied. But also, don’t stop improving, especially if you are capable of more. Go forward in search of better.

Enjoy Lounging In Bed
It can feel so nice if it is a rare occurrence. Not having to go anywhere may even be better than the actual lounging.
I’m out of bed between 5am and 7am, 7 days a week. I usually like getting up early as I can go for a run, get some work done and have breakfast with the kids.
But on Sunday morning it was about 10:30am when I finally got out of bed for good. Although I’d been awake from 05:30, I did drop back off a few short times.
It was very nice. No need to rush off somewhere. The house was very quiet. I got some things done on my phone. Thought through some issues. And generally just had a relaxing morning. I even played a few games of solitaire on my phone.
When it happens so rarely, it really is a treat. I hope you can enjoy one like that soon.

Keep Your Finances Updated And Tidy
There are many reasons to do this. It’s an investment in you and your personal well-being for starters. Knowing where things are at financially is calming, liberating and allows maximum fun.
If you know your bills are paid, your emergency account is fully funded and your investments are working day and night for you, you will have a greater sense of calm. And it lasts all year. Not just the week or two of calm you get from going on a holiday. Especially if your bills pile up, your admin gets behind and you blow your emergency funds on your, ‘but I needed it!’ trip.
Also, if you were incapacitated or died, could someone step in and know where everything was? Are all the accounts easy to find? Is there an up-to-date will? Are bills on direct debit? Or would someone have to hunt around and figure out what to pay and when?
Do this for you, and your heirs or carers. Start today and have it all sorted by the 15th July (2022!!). Go!
