Become Unstoppable on International Women's Day 2021 🚀

Today is International Women’s Day (8 March), "Women In Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world".  We are celebrating the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and highlights the gaps that remain.

Women’s full and effective participation and leadership in of all areas of life drives progress for everyone. Yet, women are still underrepresented in public life and decision-making.  At the current rate of progress, gender equality among Heads of Government will take another 130 years.

Women are also at the forefront of the battle against COVID-19, as front-line and health sector workers, as scientists, doctors and caregivers, yet they get paid 11% less globally than their male counterparts. An analysis of COVID-19 task teams from 87 countries found only 3.5 per cent of them had gender parity. 

Together we can make a difference and BECOME UNSTOPPABLE. I don't know about you but I don't want my girls  entering adulthood at a disadvantage to their male counterparts.  We've had too many years of this. Time to stand together and make a difference. 

To celebrate IWD we're giving away our free training on How To Create Real Confidence. We want you to become unstoppable, because that's how we will make a difference in this world of ours. 

Take a look at our free Become Unstoppable video and let us know how we can help you and your community of incredible women xxx

Why creating real confidence is SO important

Hello Gorgeous,

It’s Sunday and I’m feeling very reflective.  September has been full of fun and challenges.  It would be so easy to focus on all the demanding aspects of the month… there have been many! But I made a decision not to.  There’s so much to be grateful for.

Chloë’s loving being back at school, she’s thriving and I’ve seen her confidence sky rocket this month🚀 We’re finally finishing an aspect of our apartment renovation that has been on hold for 3 years and it feels GOOD to be near completion.  And Rupert and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary 

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve spent some time feeling anxious about things, mostly at 03:00 in the morning; making a very unhelpful dint in my energy levels and it really hasn’t helped me.  

What has helped me?  Tackling my worries head on, making an actionable plan and knowing where I’m heading has led me back to a full nights sleep and my confidence has returned, pwee! Confidence is the cornerstone for enjoying your life.., wow now that’s quite a statement.

So, why do I think confidence is SO important? 

I think Katy Perry sums it up quite nicely; with confidence you can pull off just about anything!

The good news is that you don’t need to have a degree from Oxford or Harvard, and you don’t need a great degree of sophistication either to create real confidence. Learning how to create real confidence will change your life.

What is confidence? 

• Confidence is your assurance.  A firm believe, trust, reliance, the belief in your own abilities. 

• Confidence is your inner conviction about the outcome any given situation.  Your conviction that you have the ability to deliver and perform a given situation.

• Confidence is trust or faith in a person or thing.  When you have a trusting relationship, you have confidence in it.

• Confidence is the settled piece of certainty in your soul.  Knowledge that you can achieve your goals.  The inner sense that all is right and well in the world.

• Confidence is fearless, boldness and courage.  It’s the stuff that leads you to stand up for yourself even under adversity. You’ll never take a firm stance on anything without confidence.

So, why wouldn’t you want to build real confidence?  

This such important stuff and that’s why we’ve dedicated we’ve focused a whole month at The Enterprise Vault to confidence.  It’s the linchpin to almost every skill in your armoury.  

Confidence is the powerhouse that will allow you to start taking real action. It’s the stuff you can learn how to generate that will set you apart from the crowd and drive you to your next level.

Learning how to increase my confidence is how I broke through my doubts and struggles.  I learnt how to build courage so I could follow my dreams, live my intentions every day, and go for that M.D level role in a FTSE 100 company. 

I invested time in building confidence and I’m now able to inspire other people to go after their big goals, because time does not stand still.  At The Enterprise Vault, we’re going to show you how to build a new level of confidence.

Double Bind

In a nutshell - If a woman behaves in a “feminine” way, she may be liked, but she may not be respected or seen as a leader. If she operates in a “masculine” way, she's judged and disliked.

• Assurance or complete and total persuasion.  A firm believe, trust, reliance; the belief in ones abilities. 
• Trust or faith in a person or thing.  When you have a trusting relationship, you have confidence in it.
• The settled peace of certainty in the soul.  Knowledge that you can achieve a goal.  The inner sense that all is right and well.
• Fearless boldness; courage.  The quality that leads you to stand up under or endure adversity.  It causes you to undertake a difficult take with diligence.  You will never take a firm stance on anything without confidence.

3 Dangerous Confidence Thieves

“Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.”

~Pablo Picasso

Confidence takes practice.  It sounds strange doesn’t it?  It’s call the confidence-competency loop.  The more you practice the more your confidence grows, and the more this will shine through into the exterior world.

Picasso is one of the most famous and successful artist.  Did you know that throughout his career, he created more than 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics? Despite the staggering number of pieces he created and his incredible talent he only has a handful of famous paintings.  

Dyson’s breakthrough came after 15 years and 5,127 prototypes. “Designing something that works well requires careful thought and precise measures, then relentless testing and prototyping …it takes time” - Dyson.

 there are also a number of other things that can steal your confidence.

1. Impatience  

Perhaps the biggest thing that is holding you back right now is your impatience.  How many things have you given up because you weren’t seeing the result you immediately expected?  In our society today we want immediate gratification and we all love our instant downloads and our Amazon Prime accounts but its unrealistic to think that you will achieve overnight success. 

I know.  This is super hard to digest when it seems like every advertisement you see is about how to make thousands of dollars in 5 minutes! Apologies to repeat this, but overnight success is extremely rare.

2. Fear

The fear of putting yourself out there into the big wide world can be so big you feel like your only option is to put the brakes on your project.  The trick is to move away from the hypercritical state of self-doubt and push your project forwards.  Past failures do not dictate your future, they create your future.  

So have the courage to take action despite the uncertainty.  

3. Helplessness

Are you are feeling insecure and have low self worth?  Ouch, I know this one well and boy oh boy does it hurt. 

My self worth used to be so low, I used to let people walk all over me!  And you know that you are in this way of thinking when you are leaning on excuses like “nothing ever goes my way” so I’m going to give up trying.  

You can break this pattern of behaviour by laughing at yourself a little.  Don’t take it so seriously. 

Shuffle the cards and find that something that brings in the energy.  Focus on the aspects of your life, business or career that energies you… then start collecting the success stories.

You are capable of remarkable things and you could never foretell and you will never discover without taking action.

How To Build Real Confidence

Hi Gorgeous,

I hope you've had a brilliant weekend and you're full of the joys of spring.. its just around the corner promise!

Today I want to talk to you about confidence.

Confidence is the number one thing that people site as an issue when they’re not succeeding.  A lack of confidence can be crippling.  It will hold you back and stop you from creating the results you've really want.   You know deep down that if you overcome the confidence barrier, it will have a massively positive impact on your life.  And no matter how successful you may be, almost all of us could do with a confidence boost. 

It’s totally normal to lack confidence, feel fear and self-doubt.  I remember the days where I used to dread speaking in public. Although I didn’t know it then, this is a completely normal feeling as I wasn’t competent and I was in the process of learning a skill.  I'd literally feel sick to the point I couldn’t see properly; now I no longer fear public speaking.  In fact last week I moderated a panel, I massively enjoyed it and got a huge buzz! Is that a bit sad?!

Now I grab every opportunity to get myself out there, because I want to continually keep building my skills in this arena.

So what’s changed?  I decided to challenge myself at every single opportunity. And even though I felt the fear when asking for a speaking gig, I did it anyway. 

I made a decision a while ago that I am going to be a phenomenal speaker.  I knew that unless I pushed through those barriers of fear I wouldn’t get any better and I would continue to be crippled with self-doubt.  This simple philosophy is called the competency-confidence loop.  As you become more skilled at a task, your fear shrinks and your confidence grows. 

Sorry to be controversial, but I don’t believe in the fake it until you make it B.S (I know it's literally EVERYWHERE on the internet).   To me real confidence grows from action.  And let’s not sugar coat this, it's real confidence that’s going to make you successful.  Faking it won’t make you feel confident it will hyper exaggerate your imposter syndrome!   

I want you to grow the type of confidence that oozes complete and utter authenticity; the real you.  The type of confidence that you don’t have to think about. You just are, confident.

When you get to the point of thinking, acting and behaving as the real you, there are no voices in your head telling you that you are “completely rubbish at this”.  You're enjoying the process and you’re feeling the unstoppable confidence you’ve been craving.

So make a decision TODAY to stop thinking and start acting. Just decide that you are going to start believing in yourself and get going.  Decide to be confident.  Decide to give it a go!  You’ve got nothing to loose and everything to gain, because real confidence will take you to the next level (…and the one after that …and the one after that!).

Much love gorgeous one

5 Ways To Get Paid Doing What You Love

Hello gorgeous,

Have you ever wanted to get paid for doing what you love? I know, I know, silly question, of course you do!

Even if you don’t believe it just yet, you can make money out almost anything that you love doing.  But there are so many reasons why people don’t press ahead. We all plant these limiting ideas in our heads: I don’t have time, I don’t have the right skill set, I don’t have the money, the economy is not good right now… so, how do you over come this?

Start think about where the opportunities lie.  As an example there are going to be millions more people coming on line over the next few years and people are yearning for new information.  People are looking for wisdom and knowledge; you could offer huge value your chosen field.  You've got the ability to share your story with people in a way that helps them connect with you.  Millions of people are looking to improve their life and go to the next level. 

If you're an employee think about how can you add more value. How can you contribute more ideas, mentor more people, learn more, grow your network and take care of other people in your workplace?  Check in and be realistic, are you in the right place to build your career.

Trust in your own voice.  And get serious about what you're going to offer the world.  Here are 5 ways to help you get started:

1. Claim your topic and your expertise
What would you like to impart to the world?  You’ve got this far in the world so it's likely that you have been through your fair share of trails and tribulations. And I’m sure if you're determined to earn more and change your life, you’ve tried a few different things and you’ve had struggles.  Look back and see what you’ve learnt. 

People become influencers because they own it.  Even experts have to start somewhere so research, research and research some more.

2. Teach weekly and post out your content consistently

Start a blog, or post a video every week. And then post little clips and quotes, drawing people back to that blog.  You can put the content of you blog out to your audience for the remainder of the week.  You’ll soon have a library of exciting topics that you’ve covered.

3. Get in your customers head

Get to know you customer intimately, yes intimately!  Know what it will take for your people to double their revenues and grow their brand.  And go above and beyond don’t just solve their problem… solve their problem and then double it.  Just solving the problem isn't enough.  You’re teaching aspirations.  Think about their future and where they want to go. This is just as applicable wether you are running your own business and/or if you are an employee.

4. Create your offer or solution

Get into the detail of what is happening in the market place and how what is/is not working.  Really understand how you fit into the market place and how you can provide the most value.  You undoubtably have something truly unique to offer, so think outside the box about tailored solutions, it’s not the generic solution that is going to get you noticed.

5. Value yourself

Recognise that you’ve got something worth putting out into the world; it’s your job to get some support and get started! Where is your hunger and your passion? Even the biggest stars had to start somewhere; never let your small beginnings become small minded.

If you're still feeling a little lost, join us in Marylebone London at Home House on the 3rd March for your Transformation. If you've been thinking about making a transition in your life, you're looking to generate new ideas, you're ready to feel invigorated and live the best year yet, this is for you!   Find out what you are really capable of.

Love you all and have a brilliant week!

Find Your Potential - My 6 Tips For Finding Your Potential

Hey gorgeous,

Do you know what you are really capable of?

You’re capable of doing anything you want in life just by making a conscious decision. If you’ve decided to not to settle for what you have right now (good choice!) then know that it’s possible to pursue an alternative direction in your life.   I used to tell myself that I couldn’t run my own dream business and be my own boss because I pay the mortgage, we need a monthly pay check in the household.  But, I’ve come to realise over time that these thoughts are just nonsense.  It’s these thoughts that keep us stuck and thinking small.  Ultimately we tell ourselves these stories because we’re scared; fearful of the unknown.  

Trust that your heart is bigger than your fears. When you face you’re fears head on and push through, this is where the real transformation happens.  When you push through those barriers and get connected to your why, the real magic begins to happen.  So how do I get the ball rolling?  You just need to start, start taking tiny steps  ...you have to start somewhere.

Here are my 6 tips to help you face your fears and start taking the action you need to take to become someone great:

1. Identify where you are emotionally

Guilty, overwhelmed, stuck, depressed, sad. You cannot change your life when you are stuck in these emotional states, there is not enough energy.  Once you identify the pattern and you see the truth, then you can decide how to fix the problem (whatever it is that is holding you back).

2. What is the antidote?  

If fear is controlling things, the antidote is courage.  In the present moment, being courageous may not necessarily feel good for you, but do it any way!  Try Mel Robbin’s 5-4-3-2-1 method.  Count backwards and then go for it;  push through your barrier. 

3. Treat your emotions like a muscle

 If you practice, you'll get stronger.   

4. People have patterns

What’s yours? Angry people get angry, sad people get sad.  This is where we naturally live in our “home” our comfortable place. We use triggers as events to get us “home”.  Identify the triggers and then find the antidote.  

5. Practice that emotion 

You can change your frustrations. If you work out what is causing your frustrations, then you can start to take action.  Be consistent in working towards making the change.  Remember your natural instinct will be to go back to your natural “home” but if you are aware of the trigger then keep practicing and soon a new muscle memory will kick in.

6. Condition the emotion

This is when your life changes, when your found new emotion is the new normal.  

Life is way to short to not truly follow your passions.  If you want to live your life with conviction and purpose, just start!  Success doesn’t come from nowhere.  Success starts from small beginnings and over time by taking consistent action becomes greatness.  “Greatness is not something predetermined, predestines or carved into your fate by forces beyond your control.  Greatness is always in the moment of the decision” - Jess Olson. 

Much love
