And We're Off....

And We're Off....

Hello everyone!


All good things must come to an end -- and the summer is almost over.

My Zoom-free August has been lovely, albeit messed up a bit by another bout of Covid. Honestly, I think I need to stop going to the gym, seems to be a most unhealthy place! ??

I did manage to do lots of nice things though, reading, more walking, journaling, and spending money on Etsy and Amazon! I probably ate way too much cake….. ?? ??

Worked on my Money Mindset (an ongoing process) - I do James Wedmore's Mind Your Money (31-day programme) every August.?

Also lots of decluttering (one of my favourite things to do) - I got rid of a load of physical and digital junk that I know I won’t use again.

It’s just so good to have a bit of a mental break! ??


So now we’re into September … ??

I don't know about you but I always find that Autumn is the busiest time of year. It's also a time when everyone seems full of energy and positive intentions! ??


Let's go harder


Autumn Action ??

I'd love to encourage you to carry this momentum through to Christmas (sorry I mentioned the other C word!) so that you can end your business year on a real high knowing that you've achieved everything you wanted to.

Here are my quick tips on how you can get back into the groove and make sure you stay there!

  • Set some intentions (doable ones) ?
  • Reward yourself for every little thing you do each week ??
  • Expect setbacks - and don't beat yourself up when they happen ??
  • Learn to say no to things you don’t want to do ??
  • Establish a routine - and make sure this includes time for you ??
  • Make yourself accountable ?
  • Practice positive thinking ??
  • Be kind to yourself ??


Reply back to me and let me know which ones you're going to try. I'd love to know.

?Ooh and if you need a bit of help with any of the above I have something coming that I think you’ll love. ??

?Keep your eyes peeled for an email on Sunday.. ??


Have a wonderful week. ??

I'm a bit behind on this one as I've been recovering from Covid and then an infected tooth! I do resonate with this though and agree that Autumn signals a shift. I love your idea of decluttering. I'm doing it physically and mentally now! Lovely newsletter Sharon Gaskin??, thank you.

I enjoy the Autumn season partly due to businesses having a greater focus on staff training now that summer is drawing to a close (although I'm hoping for a brighter warmer September). Here's to more investment into staff personal development. ??
