Is it just me that’s driven…or are you?
Interesting Question! The teacher had stated that I was clearly very driven and what advice could I give to people who were less driven. Being driven is not something that only some people have, it’s within all of us. It’s all about finding the right thing that drives you. Everybody’s different and so different things…
Is coincidence Luck, Perception or something…deeper?
Early on in the week I was up at the crack of dawn and sat at my computer typing away. I’ve managed to complete chapter ten and submit it to Karen and Sheryl from Librotas. The chapter was a delight to write as it was about finding my first paratriathlon race. It’s a lovely chapter…
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to!
What compromises have you had to make in your life or business? In the last week I have blitzed chapter ten and pretty much finished it. It was a nice one to write as it was a very positive and uplifting one. There is excitement and humour in it, Writing about the first time…
Business or Hobby, why do you do what you do?
You have a goal, work towards your goal. Another really good week last week with the writing. Asking my book coaches from Librotas ( www.librotas.com ) to request my chapters on certain dates has really helped. The accountability for me is essential. My chapter eight was getting too long and so I had…
Believe in Yourself
I’m working with AESSEAL to share my journey of striving towards the goals that I set myself and smashing down those barricades that held me back.

What are you prepared to sacrifice to achieve your goal?
Setting priorities doesn’t always mean that you get the balance right and sometimes there are consequences. Big Chunk So, over the last week I really struggled to dedicate any time to my book apart from some ‘planning’ which I know is important but I like to see more substantial and measured progress. One day…
How do you write a book?
One word at a time. Line by line, paragraph by paragraph, page by page, chapter by chapter. “The best things come to those who wait” (I hope that’s true?) Well last week I finally dedicated my time to get Chapter seven ‘done and dusted’ (first edit). I’ve submitted the text off to Karen and…
How to get a new logo for your business.
My old logo had passed it’s use by date and it was time to move on. I eventually set the wheels in motion with the help of my friends, colleagues and expert graphic designer Natalie Rowe from ‘Gosh Golly’. Watch the video to see the process steps and the final result.
Don’t ‘Tell’ the reader how you feel…describe it.
What’s your revelation of how you speak or write to someone? How can you express yourself authentically just by using a different technique? Quality not Quantity While writing my book I’ve discovered that it’s very much about quality and not quantity. I wish I could type all day long and produce thousands of words…
The truth is NOT out there.
Are you guilty of hiding the truth from the world? Does your social media feed, your photo album or even your conversations reflect on the positive aspects of your life rather than the true conditions of your life? Differences So after some research time I managed to get back on to the writing journey after…
