And in the blink of an eye February arrives. The snowdrops are out in full force; their cheery, dainty tear-drop flowers heralding spring.  This year I’ve felt very close to the change in seasons and the shift in energy that comes with them. And whilst there’s still a...

As I arrive at the pond, I wonder what on earth I’m doing.  It’s -3 and I’m about to plunge myself into icy water.  That has to be the definition of insanity. It’s still dark, but I can see the moon peering behind the trees as it sets. As I grumble loudly about the...

Do you beat yourself up for all the things you’re not getting done? Or do you look back and celebrate all that you have accomplished? When I got up the other morning I thought “great, I’ve got an hour” – I’ll do some journaling. By the time I sat down, laptop open,...

I was out shopping recently buying some last-minute bits and pieces for our holiday. And I noticed a new shop filled with pretty dresses and summer clothes – perfect for sunny Corfu.  Although I didn’t have much time, I decided to quickly try them on. Three dresses...

A few years ago I wrote a series of blog posts that focussed on gifts.  It was during the Christmas period so was very apt.  I wrote about: The Gift of Appreciation The Gift of Abundance The Gift of Kindness The Gift of Judgement There were twelve gifts in total. But...

I have just booked a photo-shoot.  I am very excited as it’s been 7 years since my last one and a lot has changed since then.  It’s a complete personal branding shoot and will give me 60 beautiful images that I can use in social media and on my website. As I was going...

It can be a bit of a minefield when it comes to pricing. What should I charge, what will people pay?  Can I really charge that? I have to admit that whenever I’m pricing anything I tend to feel into it.  Does it feel good to me?  How does it sound when I say it?  I...

Something I’ve been saying to clients a lot over the past few months is “You can spin anything”. Not in a negative, trying to twist things way, but in a positive way that supports clients. It often comes up when I’m helping clients create their dream programme. A...

There’s something magical about someone saying yes to something that will change their life.  I’ve done thousands of calls over the years, yet I still get this deep feeling of love and connection whenever I hear that “yes”. Last week I was blessed to get 3 “yeses” in...

3 years ago we embarked on a money-saving adventure which we treated as a game calling it "Austerity Measures" . It totally shifted my relationship to money, taking me from "never enough" to abundance - within 3 months. I talk about the journey in Sacred Selling....

It's March 1st.  St David’s Day.  First day of meteorological spring.  I love this time of year.  As the earth warms up and the spring flowers burst forth.  There’s nothing more cheering than seeing swathes of daffodils everywhere you go.  And I love how each day we...

Six Figures is considered by some, ‘the Holy Grail’ of business success.  That first tangible milestone that says “you’ve made it”. When I first hit six figures, I was so excited.  I’d done it!  I was a success story; people were inspired and wanted to follow in my...

I’ve been reflecting on what makes someone great at selling and marketing a lot recently.  I would often suggest things to clients and peers and they’d say “ooh that’s a great idea”. And if I think of all the campaigns I’ve implemented – some have been a great success...

I’m sat watching the birds in the garden, planning to journal, but instead was inspired to write a blog post.  It feels like I haven’t written one in forever as I’ve been focussing on editing my book. However, watching the birds this morning reminded me of something I...

I finished writing the first draft of my book: Sacred Selling and submitted it to my publisher for feedback. I thought the structure was ok and there were parts that were really good but I thought it needed a LOT of work to get it into shape for publishing.  So I was...

It’s been such a stunning day in Shropshire to mark the end of 2020.  I’ve just returned from a lovely walk with the sun warming my back, despite the temperature being 1 or 2 degrees above freezing and the ground still hard from this morning’s frost – a big...

As the Christmas cards start arriving many of them say “here’s hoping to a better 2021”. I am super excited about 2021 – partly because I’m excited about what I’ve got cooking up, and partly because I feel a powerful energy that 2021 will bring. However interestingly...

I'm a published writer! How exciting is that! Just over a year ago I was asked by the lovely Julia Barnickle to contribute to a selection of essays on the subject:   What if Life were meant to be Easy?   I jumped at the chance because: a) It was a juicy...

This morning I was asked what I’d miss about my home if we were to leave. My immediate response was “I’ve never really thought about it because until I’m in that situation I don’t know how I’d be - so there’s no point in thinking about something that’s not relevant”....

It’s been a pretty big week on the world scene – many countries are going into a second lockdown, and a US election that is impacting us all. Emotions are high as we navigate these uncertain times. So, what can we do to take care of ourselves and support others in the...

I love firsts. Maybe it was because I was the first grand-child on my Dad's side. Or maybe it's because I'm an explorer and my first experience of anything is always the most exciting. Of course in truth it doesn't matter what the reason is - the fact that I love...

Many years ago, I used to give myself a hard time for not following through on implementing systems which could be run on autopilot.  It was the era of creating passive income and the “lap-top lifestyle” was the in thing:  make money while you sleep, or whilst sitting...

One of the things I’ve noticed is that after I’ve done a challenge – particularly if it’s one where I’ve had the support of a group – once the challenge is over I do less than I did before. It’s like the energy it took to complete the challenge was so intense my body...

I’ve launched a lot of programmes during my 15 years of business - some have been exciting and fun – some have been stressful and disappointing. However launching the Sacred Selling System has been an entirely different experience from previous launches – everything...

Marketing is something many spiritual entrepreneurs dislike.  I'm guessing you would much rather spend your time serving clients than trying to find them?  Indeed, you'd probably love a fairy godmother to come along and do all that icky marketing for you. However,...

My favourite hour of the day is early morning, before the rest of the house awakens, sitting beside our French doors looking out into the garden as the sun rises, with a pot of tea. There’s something sacred about tea brewed in a pot and drunk from a beautiful cup. I...

When you think of freedom and ease with money do you imagine: never having to worry whether you have enough to pay your bills having enough money to buy all those little extras Consistently earning enough to live the lifestyle you desire having a profitable business...

What if these aren’t challenging times – that’s merely our perception? What if people aren’t really panicking – that that too is just our perception? What if there is no fear – just the illusion of it? If we are told something over and over we learn to believe it....

It’s such a beautiful day– the sun is shining and this morning there was a crisp frost on the ground, yet it didn’t feel cold in the way it does in winter.  Beautiful spring – my favourite time of year.  I feel very blessed that I live in the countryside and have...

Many years ago I gave away a free report called “How to attract new clients in 7 easy steps”.  The first three steps were: Step one:  Get clear on who you are targeting Step two:  Understand what they really want Step three:  Give them what they want All the marketing...

As we grow up we take on board the beliefs of those around us.  Many things we believe to be true are lies and illusions.   They play out in business in the form of repeating patterns and stop us from experiencing the success and fulfilment we crave. There are five...

Where to start? Already I can feel myself going into struggle – at trying to find the “right” way to language how I feel. To write and share the swirl of emotions going around and around: sadness, grief, anger, frustration, peace, love and many more I can’t name. And...

As we grow up we take on board the beliefs of those around us.  Many things we believe to be true are actually lies and illusions.   They then play out in business in a massive way and stop us from experiencing the success and fulfilment we crave. There are five main...

When it comes to Sacred Foundations I always think of a majestic oak tree.  For me it symbolises strength, wisdom and beauty.  I love that the roots of an oak tree can spread up to 3 to 7 times the diameter of the tree’s crown. If you google the spiritual significance...

When it comes to creativity I really don’t recommend writing a blog post at 9pm at night (unless of course you’re a night owl and super productive at this time.) However I do recommend you offer people what they want – and this was the topic of one of my posts last...

I am on day 15 of a 30 day blogging.  The mid-way point.  And today I didn’t know what to write about.  It’s a Sunday – a day I don’t normally work which means whilst I have lots of business topics I could talk about – I want to leave those for another day. And of...

Before signing up to any training programme we often ask ourselves “will it work?” Know that feeling? For me it’s a very familiar one. In the past every decision I made was through that lens – will this thing I want to do bring me closer to where I want to go? These...
