Zero Talent

ZERO talent required. Really??
No one said life was going to be a walk in the park, and it’s safe to say that we’re always looking for ways to make it that little bit easier – hence the popularity of time and labour saving devices that flood the market and promise to make all of those mundane and everyday tasks a breeze.

How to improve your luck!

What’s Luck Got To Do With It? Sounds a bit like a Tina Turner song. We all know someone who’s lucky.
Here are 3 great tips to show you how improve your luck!
 

 

How to deal with Negative family members!

Google ‘Toxic Relationships’ and you’ll find yourself confronted with dozens of blogs and advice on how to rid yourself of so-called ‘energy vampires’- you know the sort; those people who’s very energy is so negative and draining that you end up being sucked into the vortex. These people can be anyone from hardcore pessimists, narcissists, or those suffering from a serious dose of Main Character Syndrome (look it up, it’s fascinating).

5 Ways to spot a bullshitter!

I regularly get asked how to spot a bullshitter? We all know that ‘honesty is the best policy’ and that ‘the truth will out’ (just look at our former PM’s recent troubles!) but when it comes down to it, how honest are we really? 

Is your success in the hands of the gods?

Ok, so you’re running a business, and you obviously want it to be successful. Do you do everything within your power to make it so - or are you leaving it in the hands of the gods?
In other words, do you believe that the success (or failure!) of your business is down to you; what you do and what you put in….or is it down to fate, chance, kismet, a higher power…? 

It’s not about the competition, it IS about the collaboration!

The trait of being ‘competitive’ often gets a bad rap, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. For some people, being competitive gives them an edge - the drive and motivation to succeed in all areas of life, love and business.
These are the people who don’t take no for an answer, who will strive for what they want and get it by any means possible - the sort of people who might be described by others as ‘ruthless’.

How to deal with a moral dilemma!

Sometimes I feel like one of those agony aunts or uncles they used to have in the tabloid papers; the ones where people would write in and ask for advice on whether or not they should sleep with the milkman because they think their partner’s cheating with the barmaid.

Love the one you’re with!

Love the one you're with! A well-known comedian does a bit as part of his stand-up act where he talks about him and his wife ‘spending quality time together on their phones, at separate ends of the sofa’, and jokes that it’s not his wife’s fault that she’s, ‘not as interesting as a phone. No one is!

How to choose a growth mindset!

You may well ask how can I choose a growth mindset? It doesn’t take a genius to work out that someone with a negative, defeatist mindset is going to find it pretty hard to achieve any success in life. We all know someone like that don’t we? – someone full of scepticism; someone who second guesses absolutely everything and does nothing but criticise everyone and everything around them.

Why work life balance is complete bollocks!

You’ve probably heard a lot of people moaning about struggling to find a work-life balance- particularly those who are running their own business – and especially in the last couple of years.
With more and more people working remotely from home, it’s true that the boundaries between work and everyday life are becoming blurred for a lot more of us, and it’s not really a surprise, is it?
