How can we stop letting what happens outside of us, from infecting our internal side? Maybe someone you like has been cold to you, or your boss said something that’s just killed your confidence. Today I want to give you 3 tips on how you can build internal resilience so that when things happen outside of your control, they…
While rules have their place, breaking rules can liberate you from their expectations. When we have a rule in place and things don’t happen according to the rule we become disappointed.

I’ve been spending time with some amazing people in the UK and one successful businessman I met taught me something very powerful. He said if you want to grow and make this world a better place you’ve got to do it with people. You’ve got to surround yourself with people who challenge you, make you think differently and who…
Four years ago when I was still in corporate I had a dream that people told me was impossible. That dream was, never ask somebody for a vacation. It didn’t seem possible but what’s amazing is that four years later I can write to you while traveling. It hasn’t been easy and that’s why I want to remind you…
