I love staying in touch with former clients and business partners. This weekend, I was meeting one of them. Oh boy, I was in for a surprise when she shared her retirement plans!
They are going to drive across…

10 small changes creating big savings
How to save more money in 2018
January signalises a new start and new opportunity to enhance their life. Some folks opt for big changes while others take small steps. Taking action is the first step to success and we want you to succeed in your financial world, too. Today, we’re giving you 10 tips to reap big savings with almost no effort:
What really matters (Part 2)
Living your life according to your values
It’s crazy how each week of 2018 seems to have a specific theme for me. The first week was all about purging and creating order. Last week then revealed a number of surprises, hence the blog about what really matters. Unfortunately, the second part is only ready now. “Delays” is the theme for this week and I’ve encountered IT issues that left even my support team speechless. I’m so excited to finally share this post with you!
What really matters (Part 1)
What matters in your life?
How often have you come home, frustrated by the events of the day? Being stuck in traffic again? Invited to another meeting that will go on and on? Staying late for a “just a minute” request by your boss while needing to be home with your family?
It seems easier to rattle about how upset you are than to see what really matters. Do you remember what that is?
Chasing money or pursue your dream?
What’s your dream worth to you?
Do you have your dream job? A few days ago, my friend and I were talking about this job. Disliking it was the understatement of the year. Yet, it finances his lifestyle and he was not willing to walk away from this. It made me think – a lot. Do you know what’s important to you?
How do I develop myself? (Re-post)
“How do I find time for my own personal development?” That was a question a client asked me recently and it sparked an interesting conversation. Do you find time or do you make time?
Fed up by her company deciding on her next role, she wanted to take matters into her own hands. Her focus was her own career progression within the same organisation. She realised that there was no question about finding or making time. Making time was her only option if she wanted to determine her future herself.
How too much stuff brought me down
Ever felt the weight of your stuff?
Has too much stuff ever drained you? We all read about the weight of clutter on our lives and it’s true. Peter Walsh, the Australian organiser and close friend of Oprah, wrote a book on losing the clutter and shedding pounds off your body. Believe it or not, this is what I experienced over the last few weeks too.
Take a step back and review
Review and take stock
Do you ever review how your day, week or month was for you? Last week was particularly energising for me. Things fell into place and one meeting left me in awe. I was almost mesmerised by it and stepped back to see how last week was different. Also, I wanted to see what I can take from it for the future. If you’re anything like me, you too would like to see how to multiple the feeling of amazement and super motivation.
This special meeting was a planning workshop. You’re probably going “Planning? Not again!”
