I used to believe in a stress-free life, but I think aside from being unrealistic it’s also not a good way to live. Because through voluntarily stressful times you find meaning and purpose, you grow as a person and you become more resilient so that when the involuntary stress comes you’re better equipped to deal […]

A mantra that’s come up again and again for me, when I was taking driving lessons and getting nervous before each one I’d remind myself that there must be a billion people in the world who can drive, so why not me? And the same before I started my business, there are millions of other […]

I should have listened to my own advice sooner, a while back I installed a program called Hola VPN to help me get on to a site that was blocked by GDPR, it was a free Chrome extension and I’ve since uninstalled it until it popped up today in my menu bar. Because when you […]

Some days are slow days, in business, in life, in general, you have days in a row where nothing happens, followed by days of madness and intensity.
