I am someone with a lot to say about the school system and how it is ruining our educators and creating a generation of anxious teenagers.

This week, after presenting to a room full of year 11 students, I needed to get something off my chest.

Focusing on what we DO for a living in life, is the wrong thing to focus on.

Focusing on passing the exams and getting the grades to DO a particular role is the wrong thing to focus on.

Knowing that we want a change, but agonizing over what we want to change to, is the wrong thing to focus on.

We need to start asking ourselves better quality questions:

👉 who do we want to be?

👉 how do we want to feel?

👉 what lifestyle do we want to live?

👉 what do we want to be able to achieve?

👉 how much do we need to earn?

👉 how much time are we prepared to invest in order to earn it?

I have discovered that is doesn't matter WHAT I do... it doesn't matter HOW I earn money... it is what that money allows me to do, how that activity makes me feel, what lifestyle I am able to live...

...how I can fulfil my purpose... THAT is what is important.

THAT should be our focus.

I'd love to know what you loved about this discussion and if exploring a new way of earning money is something you're curious to learn more about, be sure to DM me via the link below for access to my private Facebook Group - "FIRED UP & FREE"

When you enter a destination into Google, it gives you directions o the best way of getting there based on where you are now. If Google didn't KNOW where you were starting from, it WOULD NOT be able to calculate the route.

The same is true of our goals.

If we do not know where we are RIGHT NOW, there is no way in hell that we are going to be able to figure out how to reach our goals... however much we might say we want them.

In this episode, I walk you through a really simple, yet effective exercise that I have just redone for myself. It is one of the key tools I reached into my coaching toolkit for, to get me out of my funk, because it's so much easier to plan a route, when we know where we're starting from!!

As a coach, promoting the need to build a business that meets the needs of your life, rather than taking over it; to admit that I was burnt out and over it was MASSIVE.

I felt like the biggest fraud and honestly, I just wanted the world to swallow me up never to be seen again.

I thought about hiding away, coming off socials and going back to full time work - and for a short period, I was really f#$king tempted...

But something inside kept calling to me.

I couldn't just turn my back on what I can feel in my heart.

I KNOW I am here to inspire.

I KNOW I am here to lead a movement of FIRED UP parents sick to death of the hum-drum monotony of everyday life.

I KNOW there is more available to each and everyone of us who are brave enough to take the steps and make it happen.

I'm here for that.

I'll ALWAYS be here for that.

I just needed to find a different vehicle through which to make it happen!!
