A lot of people are expressing their concern about their business and their livelihood amidst the Corona pandemic.

You might be worried too.

I really feel for everyone, as I have a services business as well.

Having said that, I also see how this crisis is helping us all to make our business more bullet proof and agile, by embracing technologies that have been available for years. 

Most importantly, the question is HOW to continue trading and servicing clients whilst maintaining a healthy cashflow and continue receiving an income.

Especially when more stringent measures will be taken by government and others to flatten the curve and delay severe consequences from coronavirus infections nearby.

what is your destination?

I mean... If there is a place that you want to get to in your life or business, where is it? What is your burning desire to achieve? 

You might recall the author of "The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People", Stephen Covey. 

He came up with the idea that, before you start any day, task or project, you want to clarify your desired outcome upfront. That is: before you launch yourself into action, you want to visualise your destination vividly and then work your way back.

People often get challenged by competing priorities. They also think that they have more things to do than time available for completion. 

When we get caught up in the whirlwind of activities, there is a risk to loose sight of what truly matters. 

Are you busy? 

Chances are that you are. 

I mean... are you really busy making progress towards the end you have in mind?

And do you know where you are headed? 

You see, you might be busy doing all sorts of things that keep you busy, whil...

If you would have known what you know now 10 years ago, is it possible that you would have done things differently back then?

This definitely is a positive for me. In April 2020, I will be running my business for 10 years. ONE DECADE!!!

I realised that, as Members asked me about how to build a business while enjoying life, there is so much knowhow that turns everything upside down. That is, for the better!

• How we 'spend' our time... And how we can 'invest' it instead.
• What we can leverage, automate, streamline and delegate...
• How we create freedom thanks to multiple income streams...
• What incredible technologies are available to make life easy...
• How to avoid costly mistakes... And the realisation that there is always a price to pay.
• What not to do, and what to start sooner...
• And the list goes on and on.

It is such a big topic. And I realise that people often buy themselves a job.

There is nothing glamours in doing so. 

I also am well aware that people often pursue the...

Yesterday, I finished an in-house training session at a client's. I was happy with my delivery and the way the people had engaged during the session and wanted to "spoil myself" afterwards. 

After dinner, I excused myself from my family for 45 minutes, jumped in my car and drove to my favourite gelato place. Those flavours seemed so divine while I was savouring them!

And what a turnaround at night! My brain was fired up. I went to bed late. Spend time on my computer. I had a hard time sleeping. 

While I usually jump out of the bed ready to seize the day, I felt sluggish, tired and slept in... 

This is NOT what high performance looks like. It made me realise that our energy reflects our previous actions.

When we do something that lifts our energy, we are guaranteed of the result. Equally, when we eat carbohydrates and refined sugar for dinner, chances are that it will affect our sleep and therefore our energy the next day.

Books like "Superhuman" by Dave Asprey summarise scientifi...

"Why do people do what they do?"

Ever since I went to uni to become a psychologist, I've had this question top of mind. I wanted to decipher the human mind. 

Nowadays people often ask me something similar, albeit more personal: 

"How do I figure out what my purpose is?" 

Let's admit it, we all go through phases of maximum motivation and moments of despair. 

In the former case we have a high sense of purpose, we enjoy high levels of energy and are geared to taking action. 

In the latter case, we lack a sense of direction, our energy is deflated and we keep to ourselves. 

While we are proactive and get things done in one state, we are reactive and procrastinate in the other. 

Same person - yet a different dynamic! 

Why?

We're back to the topic of having a clear purpose. 

With it, the world is our oyster. We naturally are poised and have a "can do" attitude. Nothing seems too major. 

Without it, we feel like a mess. We're missing something... And we give up before we even star...

A few days ago we looked in the rearview mirror of our life and business... 

Today is different. What if you were to look in the 'front view mirror', meaning the mirror of your future?

Where do you see yourself in 12 months time?

If you are clear, and you have a solid track record in planning for and achieving your goals - great going! 

If, however, there often is a gap between your aspirations and the reality, you might require professional help.

Let's tackle some frequently asked questions about coaching... (whether for life or business)

• Q: "What's in it for me?" --- A: if you ever felt like wasting a lot of time, effort, energy and money on something without getting the result, coaching can help you to achieve your goals faster than you would on your own. 
• Q: "How do I know who to engage as my coach?" --- A: as the saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher walks in. You'll know! 
• Q: "What can I expect from working with a coach?" --- A: you'll save incredible amou
