It's Time

  Making A Change I love August... the sun, the birds, the trees, living where I do! I had the same last August but had just moved in, was busy planning and didn't have time to enjoy it! But moving here was that change. We told ourselves that we had one year to get the big stuff sorted so we could be with the boys more and with each other more. I wanted more time back, so changes were made, sacrifices were made... 12 months really isn't that long - as long as you use that time wisely. Can you commit and stick to it? We tell ourselves that everything keeps us from pursuing our dream venture. Instead, we hold onto our dreams like we’ve got a lottery ticket in our back pocket—if we haven’t tried, we can’t fail, so we keep hold of the possibility but don’t take action to make it happen.  You see, I know you; I am you. For nearly 15 years, I blamed time, kids, hubby, paid employment, private clients, the wrong house, no desk, no office… well, everyone and everything for not being ab

  Standing Still Is Not An Option Welcome to August... I have good news for any parents reading this: There are just four weeks left, and your little darlings will be back at school! But what about you? Are you plotting your path to success? When the children start school in September, the teachers already know what they will be doing with them... It's planned out already, and they have a framework and timelines to stick to. Nothing is left to chance. Everything is planned. Is your business running the same way? Maybe it's time to get started on that idea you've had for ages! And you know, with your skills and experience, if you could just leverage your time and create and launch your dream service online, making money would feel easier (and it would take up way less of your time). It’s not that you don’t believe in your idea - if I asked you to tell me about it, you would talk to me solidly for two hours with a light beaming through you so bright that you could illuminate
