What Is Stopping You?
Who is it really? Is it truly an outside person that is stopping you from achieving your ideal life? Or does that make it easier to live with as an answer? You’ll usually find, if you’re being brutally honest with yourself, that you are the only one stopping you. This mindset may be due to your self-identity, path uncertainty, or desire to avoid the tough decisions and hard work you’ll need to endure. So decide, make a plan, see yourself as that successful person and get to work!

What’s Real?
There was an ad in the 80’s that we used to quote often and the key line was, “Is it real or is it Memorex?”. It was promoting the incredible sound recording on a cassette tape. With AI improving day by day, we may start saying something similar. Don’t get fooled.

What Motivates You?
Would you rush into a burning building to save a child? If so, why? Honestly. Would you lend a friend £1,000? Is it your risk tolerance at play here? Or perhaps you’re a giving, charitable or empathetic person?
What motivates people fascinates me.
