What's scarier—starting your own business or abseiling down a 17-floor hospital in London? In this post, I share my thrilling experience and how it mirrors the fears and triumphs of entrepreneurship. If you're ready to conquer your fears and take your business to new heights, this is a must-read. Plus, learn how you can support the amazing work of the London Air Ambulance Charity.
Hi Gorgeous,
How is your week going so far?
Before we get stuck into today’s topic I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you. Thank you for your support, thank you for being you, and thank you for taking a few minutes of your precious day for connecting with me and reading my blog.
Today I wanted to pop into your world and talk to you how together we can raise the profile of women in the world. I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot of late. In the UK it was 100 years ago that the 1918 Representation of the People Act was pasted by an overwhelming majority in the House of Commons. It was an important milestone as it gave women of property over the age of 30 the right to vote. This was a major success.
We still have a huge way to go to make this a world of equality but it is really down to us to make the changes happen. It’s a topic that I am fanatically passionate about because for WAY too long we women have held ourselves back. We lower our own expectations of what we can achieve.
I take my role of helping women build their dreams in this complex world of ours very seriously. I truly believe that every single one of us deserves to live an incredible life, full of abundance, happiness and joy for the world.
Let’s motivate and encourage each other, and foster a world where we care deeply for one another, where we care about the abundant opportunities that are available to each and everyone of us.
Personal motivation is an incredibly complex thing, molded by our internal fears but also strongly influenced by the parenting we receive, the peer group that surrounds us as we grow, the opportunities we seek and the connections we make.

Explore and find out what you are really capable of!
Much love

Stop collecting business cards and start making meaningful connections.
Love it or loath it, networking is so powerful for building a thriving business or climbing the corporate ladder. Even when you’re a new Mum looking for some sanity, networking becomes a critical skill. It surprises me that so often I hear other women saying that we are not good at networking, this is total rubbish! It’s so often the ladies in the household that create the vital support networks for our families; it’s this network that becomes the life-line in difficult times.
Networking is not just about swapping business cards; you want to learn how to network for life, for endless value, build a business or to significantly enhance your career success. I climbed the corporate ladder purely by having the right people in my network, and the strong foundations of my business exists today because of my network.
So, if you are looking to increase the quality and quantity of your best clients and/or you want to develop relationships with other incredible professionals you need to get yourself out there!
The traditional idea of networking is to attend events complete with a room full of people just like you. The problem with most networking events is that most people have themselves at the centre of their thoughts, whether it be signing up a new client, creating awareness for their business or connecting with someone in the hope of developing a mutually beneficial relationship. They are looking for instant gratification.
Gary Vaynerchuck says “effective networking is about reversing the game everybody instinctively plays. It’s about patience and buildup, not the close. We celebrate audacity and courage instead of patience and value.” Think of it like a dating game. It’s not about the one night stand, its about finding your soul mate. You’re looking for the golden nugget, the long lasting committed relationship.
Now, I am not saying don’t attend networking events. I’ve met some incredible people at these socials. However you need to do something to facilitate growing valuable connections built on long-lasting trust. How do I do this? You shift the focus from you to thinking of them.
Ask yourself the question, how can you become their ultimate resource. How can you be the person that connects them to a new contact, recommends another trust professional, hairdresser, cake-maker or whatever it is that makes their life a hell of a lot easier and saves them time. Become connected to all the top businesses in your orbit.
By becoming a connector you become a go-to person, the trusted adviser and you will be surprised how quickly this approach will be reciprocated. Ensure that you are sharing your message along the way, so that they understand you and your business. Because guess what, when you pay it forward, go the extra mile for someone and build mutual trust, you are at the forefront of their mind when it comes to recommending a business expert (yes that’s you!).
So what are you waiting for? Get out there, meet new people and remember to do it in a mindful way by always asking yourself the question, how can I become their ultimate resource? This takes a shift in mindset, but by adding extraordinary value, by learning about their issues and by creating opportunities for your clients, you can leverage your strategic partnerships and create a powerful network.
Share your vision, your ambitions, and the intimate details of organisation, and build a network of people that you love. Attract those likeminded, A-list incredible men and women just like you. The deeper the quality of your network the greater the magnitude your success.
Come and join us in the Fiercely Ambitious Entrepreneurs Facebook Group, connect, build your network and magnitude your success.
Love you all.

Today is International Women's Day. On March 8 every year, International Women's Day is celebrated to felicitate women and their achievements. Women have come a long way in their struggle for equality, but there is still a long distance to cover. Research issued by the World Economic Forum found that it will take 170 years to close the gender pay gap around the world. In the UK it is estimated to take 60 years to close the pay gap at the current rate of progress and 42 years in the US. I find these statistics absolutely staggering and deeply disturbing that my (newborn) daughter may not experience pay parity in her early working career, or indeed ever at the current pace and unpredictability of the change!
The UK government's attempt to make the pay gap reporting mandatory for all companies with more than 250 employees had been met with a lot of resistance. The fact that the government has to legislate under the Gender Pay Gap Reporting requirements, to force change is a sad reality that there is still a huge reluctance for corporates to address the issue.
Some organisations have made monumental leaps ahead for equal pay and gender balance, addressing not only the policies that impact women but tacking the rights that men have have access to, such as better paternity entitlement equalising the balance for both genders. Google is a great example of where huge progress has been made, they say they have closed the pay gap. CEO Marc Benioff also made sure they would not be a gender pay gap in his company. After conducting intensive research within his company he paid out US$3M (£2.4M / AU$4.1M) to address inequalities in pay. However these examples of corporates voluntarily doing the right thing and ensuring pay parity are few and far between.
The that fact that in 2017 there continues to be gender inequality, with extreme inequality at its highest in single parenthood families, is a huge a social issue and will ultimately impact future economic growth. In the UK alone PWC estimate that pay parity would boost female earnings by around £85bn per year.
Ladies, it has become so important for us to work together to remove barriers preventing pay parity and create better opportunities for women. Together we can forge a better working world - a more gender inclusive world. Empower yourself, vocalise your self-worth, be less subservient, support your fellows and #BeBoldForChange.
This week has been an exciting week, stepping out into the world as a new Mummy. Completely out of my comfort zone, and still fumbling around with unfathomable buttons on the buggy, it has been great to venture out to meet some of the other local Mummies.
It would have been very easy to stay indoors with our little Chloe in the warmth, and the comfortable surroundings of our home, safe in the knowledge that nothing would be too complicated to deal with. There are lots of reasons to stay in your comfort zone including reduced stress and less anxiety, however there are unlimited benefits to stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Everyone's comfort zone is different, and what may expand your horizons may paralyze someone else. There are so many ways to stretch your personal boundaries. Trying news things or putting yourself in a new environment is a good way to start. You could take a different route home or try a different local restaurant. In a small way you are increasing your view of the world. These are easy transitions and after making these first small steps, you may feel like you can be bolder and braver.
Saying yes more often, even when you think you are not ready is a great way to open yourself up to new opportunities. Say yes to new projects, new assignments and new roles, even if you haven't done it before. As Richard Branson said "if someone offers you an amazing opportunity and you're not sure you can do it, say yes - then learn how to do it later".
We are all creatures of habit. We build our lives on patterns of thought, emotions and behaviours, but your success depends on your getting out of your comfort zone. Magical things in life happen when you get out of your comfort zone. You are far more productive when you are working on something that you are not familiar with, which leads to much higher output. You will achieve goals that you may not have thought possible before and you are certainly more creative.
If you want to live a great life, have an amazing business, and unimaginable success you have to leave your comfort zone and put yourself out there. Be bold, be brave and get comfortable with the uncomfortable.
