If you don't back you…who will?
Every month we bring you a roundup that will help you be your boldest, most creative self, and embrace changes that make you shine.

September is my favourite time of the year. It feels...fresh.
Especially after time away from the desk.
We all love the idea of taking a breather, eh? I know I do.
Because entrepreneurship doesn’t get any easier and the world never slows down.
I'm almost always stretching my comfort zone...and I get tired 😵💫.
Don't you 🧐?
Even when I'm 'fighting fit,' it’s easy to underestimate, overlook and doubt what makes me awesome.
Yet, I've made enough mistakes to know...
When I'm disconnected to my intuition, I run a million miles (at speed) in the wrong direction 🫣. But, it's all about progress not perfection.
You can’t get a hit if you don’t swing the bat. So swing that bat!
