I’ve had time off, of course I have, in the last three years but I haven’t had a proper holiday. What’s the difference? Time off constitutes something I am coming to enjoy more and more, downtime in my own home. Its peaceful, I get to enjoy Augusts in the UK and I get lots of self-care jobs done which feels lovely. And holidays involve “abroad”! When I first went into coaching, I took on an empowering belief from Thomas Leonard that no-one wanted to be coached during August or December so planned my working year thus. And my next intention [...]
Do You Have What It Takes To Be Rich?
Philip Beresford, author of The Richest of the Rich, is quoted in today’s Mail on Sunday in an article about the Money Gene, thus: “You need massive energy, single-minded focus, self-confidence and the ability to arrange your social life so that it comes second.” What do you think? Do you have those qualities? Are you prepared for that sacrifice?
Thrifty Thoughts
I posted on the Money Gym forum today about thrift. Having spent a month with lots of American snowbirds during December, I noticed their thrifty habits, no doubt designed to eek out their scant pensions and make them go further in the slightly cheaper, definitely warmer Caribbean. I notice that they order dinner, eat half and take the other half home for another meal, tomorrow? And I notice that they care about every dollar, taking a bag where a box would have cost them that dollar. And this is just how it should be, but its not how I instinctively [...]
Coming in 2010 – Shed Sessions for Entrepreneurs
My new garden office is finished. Doesn’t it look lovely? I’ve been too busy to move in yet. First job is to move a card table and garden chair down there and take a laptop and see if the WiFi signal stretches. If not, I need some BT help to get me fully teched up, then removal men to get me and my office physically in situ. I am going to be doing some Shed Sessions for my one-to-one clients down the garden in 2010. Let me know if you want to spend a day a month with me in [...]
Manifestation Magnificence
It all started in August with Bianca, my friend and neighbour, who I invited round to help with some clutter clearing. I knew that Bianca had PA skills, amongst many others, and so she was just the Top Bird to assist me with a chore I couldn’t quite bring myself to do alone, with no accountability. We got an appointment in the diary to get it done and dusted. Afterwards, as a reward, we had lunch in the garden and Bianca said words to the effect “Judith, I believe a Big Cheque will come into your life now that we [...]
Competition: My Transmogrification into The Money Maven
This means that you can carry on diddling about all day doing what you love and you don't need to worry about money. By the time you find that pain or reason to change, you will be financially sorted anyway due to the easy, affordable, simple investment opportunities to which I introduced you in 2009/2010? You could wake up in ten years' time and discover that you are lot better off that you thought you were.
