As August rolls in, it's time to think about smart holiday spending. Planning a getaway? Here are some budget-friendly tips:

- Set a daily spending limit
- Look for free local attractions
- Cook some meals instead of eating out
- Use public transport where possible

Remember, a stress-free holiday starts with mindful spending!

The man doesn’t know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn’t know that there is a stone crushing the man. The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! And I can’t climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can’t the man use a little more strength and pull me up!” The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I’m still pulling you as much as I can! Why don’t you try and climb a little harder!?”
The moral is— you can’t see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can’t see the pain you’re in. This is life, whether it’s with work, family, feelings or friends, we should try to understand each other. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought and patience goes a long way.

Seeking a second income stream? 1 in 3 are now taking to multiple income streams and many of these are via network marketing.

I have been in network marketing for over 10 years, and it has genuinely changed my life.

The unique revenue model has captivated entrepreneurs worldwide. At its core, network marketing thrives on fostering personal connections and word-of-mouth marketing.

Here's what sets it apart:
🌟 Building and expanding a network of customers and fellow entrepreneurs, prioritising personal relationships over impersonal corporate structures.

So if the idea of embarking on becoming an independent business owner appeals, or maybe you already are but want to increase your income streams, it’s the ideal way.

With dedication, hard work, and the right company, you can unlock the kind of income that helps you achieve all those things on your dream list.

If you are ready to give it a go I'd love to connect and support you on your journey.

Mid-year check-in time!

As we reach the halfway point of 2024, it's the perfect opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign. Taking a moment to conduct a personal half-year review can be incredibly powerful.

Ask yourself:

• What have been my biggest wins and achievements so far?
• What challenges have I faced, and what lessons have I learned?
• Are my goals still aligned with my values and priorities?
• What adjustments can I make to ensure a successful and fulfilling second half of the year?

Remember, celebrating your progress, acknowledging your growth, and making necessary tweaks to your plan are all part of the journey.

Take this time to reconnect with your purpose, recharge your motivation, and set yourself up for an incredible remainder of 2024!

Share your tips and experiences on prioritising quality over quantity, and let's inspire each other to make intentional choices that align with our values and well-being.

🌟 Declutter your finances 🌟

Just like decluttering your home, organising your finances can reduce stress and boost productivity. Start with these simple steps to a more organised financial life.

1️⃣ Create a budget: List your income and expenses to understand where your money is going and identify areas for savings.
2️⃣ Automate payments: Set up automatic payments for bills to avoid late fees and streamline your financial management.
3️⃣ Consolidate accounts: Simplify your finances by consolidating multiple bank accounts or credit cards where possible.
4️⃣ Track spending: Use a financial app or spreadsheet to monitor your spending habits and make adjustments as needed.
5️⃣ Review subscriptions: Cancel any unused or unnecessary subscriptions to reduce recurring expenses.

Feeling the need for a good old declutter? 🧹

Spring is the ideal time to roll up your sleeves and tackle those problem areas at home or work. Clearing out clutter can alleviate stress, anxiety, and boost creativity and productivity.

Sell, donate, or recycle items you no longer need for a clearer mind and space.

Start small, one area at a time, and if you don't love it, need it or use it, it has to go!

Are you using the power of networking to help fuel your business growth?

Connecting with others can be a game-changer, opening doors to new perspectives, insights, and partnerships.

This week we're celebrating my little legs' birthday! Poppy is turning 11 and, as many of you know, is my absolute world ❤️

Poppy is always at my side and I take her everywhere I can. Though she’s at her happiest when I’m working in the garden so she can sunbathe. She's can't wait for the warmer weather!

So plenty of walks and cuddles for this little girl to celebrate her and all the joy and happiness she's brought to my life.

Happy birthday to Poppy! 🐾

On Friday this week it is International Women's Day!

The 2024 campaign theme is 'Inspire Inclusion'.

"When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world."

Are you celebrating IWD this year? If so do tell me how and tag the women who inspire you in the comments so we can celebrate together...

Our well-being is non-negotiable, and we can't give our best to anyone or anything when running on empty.

Recharging our batteries is key to sustained productivity and overall happiness.

Check out these tips to give your batteries a boost:

🛀 Take a bath - try adding some relaxing Epsom Salts.
🧘‍♀️ Stretch it out - just a few minutes every few days renews tired muscles and revitalises your energy.
💤 Prioritize sleep - the ultimate body reset button.
🕺 Do something you enjoy - treat yourself and embrace some 'you' time.

How do you recharge? Let me know in the comments and we can share and inspire each other!

Navigating the ongoing cost of living challenges, have you considered the benefit of multiple income streams?

Juggling a variety of income channels, including passive income streams, has been a game-changer for me. It means I don't need to worry about my finances even when life throws curveballs, and boy have there been a few of those in the last couple of years!

If you're keen on exploring flexible working and the freedom of multiple incomes, then I'd love to have a chat with you. Just send me a message!

It's time for the final post about me (for now!)

Who am I?

I have... an auto immune condition, not life threatening, but it certainly limits my days, probably more than people ever get to see, especially as it affects my energy and ability to be present. So protecting my energy and looking after myself is a priority but so very different to putting myself first.
I'm... weak and I’m strong.
Often right but equally as wrong.
I matter... and you matter too.

So tell me…who are you?

I absolutely love guiding my clients to save money every month by spending on the things they need while keeping control of their budget at the same time.

If you're curious about maximising your savings then get in touch for a no-obligation chat, and I'll let you in on the money saving action!

As the cost of living continues to squeeze our pockets it's so sad to learn that animal shelters are still bearing the brunt. 🐾 It breaks my heart hearing about pets being given up due to financial struggles. It's time to shine a light on this silent crisis!
