I live near the top of a mountain ridge, and the drive to my house is up a 3km long steep and windy road. For the past year I’ve been wanting to walk down this road and then back up. Why? To challenge myself. To see how long it would take. Because I can. So […]
How I found opportunity when no one wanted to hire me
I’m about to share my ‘little secret’. A few months back I wanted to quit my own biz. At the time I was incredibly disengaged with my work. I’d developed a not-so-good habit of comparing myself to all the “successful” coaches in my new home town, convincing myself there was no room for me. My […]
Why you want to stop wallowing in the pit of ‘what if’
