This week I did my first LinkedIn Live. I have been waiting a while but when I got it I really wanted to use it. I was nervous and excited and so I went out there and recorded my first live video on LinkedIn. I spoke about personal branding, what it was like for me to start a podcast, public speaking tips and tricks and how I got started in public speaking. If you want to watch it, check out the link here: LinkedIn Live I also finished 2 books this week. #Live20 by Luke Williams and Podcasting M...

Who set's your priorities? One persons priorities for you are not the same as your priorities for youself. You are going to find things in your life that you think are of most importance, whereas the people around you might disagree. And this will always be the case. So how do you decide what to prioritise? You have to make the decision of what to prioritise. You have to execute. You have to show the actions you are doing. It's go time. I need to execute more too. I also need to be more proactiv...

So, how did my birthday go? Well in short, it was amazing. It's one of the first times people have actually showed up for me in my life which rarely/never happens so it was really nice to see everyone come together on my birthday. This week I cried. I didn't feel like I was doing enough. I wanted my business to move faster, to do more. For a second, I dropped the ball and became short sighted. Luckily my girlfriend reminded me that it's going to be difficult because I am also working full time a...

What do you want for your life right now? What do you need? The truth is this will change as you grow. If you think a little deeper about what you really want on need, how much of that is really true? Often we feel like we need things, but actually, we just want them. You don't have to always be productive. There is an art of being unproductive. It allows you to be productive, but also can be highly beneficial for your future self. Whether that's spending time with family, meditating, walking in...

In this episode I talk about how each and every decision you make can affect your life. A decision as simple as what to have for lunch could spiral your life into a direction which you would never expect. Often I sit and think about this, and wonder what other paths I could've been on. I also talk about being grateful for the people around you and remembering to show them attention and appreciation before its too late. How do you show people you are grateful for them being around? Thank you so m...

Over the summer my life has changed dramatically and I am in a completely different position to what I thought I would be in. I am facing problems that I could have never even thought of. But what is life. What is life to me? What is life to you? And what is the meaning of life? Life is how you define it. You are the one with all of the control. But for some reason the is a massive lack of control. From the shoes you buy in your local store to the way you style your hair, the is influence. You a...

Don't be afraid to ask for help or advice. This week I have had to. Without external help and advice you could end up down a path you didn't realise you were going down. I am learning a lot about sales. Especially since asking some friends of mine for help. I have also needed other people advice to tell me that I might need to focus a bit more on learning about the industry I am in. These people that you can turn to are really important. This week I faced a lot of nerves. Mostly from speaking in...

This week I talk about being confident in yourself and not worrying about what other people think. Often this can be difficult but what I have learnt during my life is that people will say things whether you're the best or the worst person in the world, so you may as well be happy being yourself. I need to work on sales. I am not the best at reaching out to people that may be interested in my services. This has caused my nerves to take over and thus I have been procrastinating. However, this is ...

This week I have realised, after scrolling through Steven Bartlett's instagram, to his first post, that entrepreneurs are the same. They start at a very similar place to us but we build barriers in the way to convince ourselves why we can't get to their level. I have also read 2 books this week both of them are quite small (100 pages) but great books. Check them out below: The Psychology of Celebrity - Gayle Stever Minimalise to maximise your happiness: Cut the Crap - Jake B Melton Interested in...

This week is all about your mind and body. What you put in your mind and body effects how you act in a day, how you act in a week and can effect your whole life. The media talks about eat 5, 6, 7 pieces of fruit and vegetables a day, "Vitamin D is needed to survive" they cry. For a person that didn't eat any fruit and little vegetables, I start with 1 apple a day and condition myself so I can't get out of it. If you tell yourself you can make your dreams, you are more likely to put in the work t...

This week I have had deadlines, CV's to submit and my website. I had to create CV's because I am looking for a 1 year, full time contract, in social media marketing or influencer marketing. The heat is up in the air as I pressure myself to get the website out. I have also had really deep and weird dreams. Maybe we are connected through dreams somehow. What are your thoughts on why we dream? Is there other dimensions that we are seeing into? Maybe it's alternate realities of the future? For the f...

This week I go deep. I talk about my past and my experiences in foster care and how they impact me today and make me a better person. I become truly honest and take more responsibility than ever about this past year. Especially after having a call with Luke Williams yesterday and also finding out that it has been nearly 1 year since I met with my lecturer to talk about starting a company. The video I watched today was called Kevin Hart - Figuring it all out. It can be found on the Mulligan Broth...

This week I have big news! My business is officially registered. After lots and lots of waiting it's finally here. However, I still think being patient is really important. Especially when starting a business. Launch is coming on Monday 15th of social media and website (if all goes to plan). I also had my first Taco Bell with my girlfriend. The chips were sooo good. And so was the chicken. It was so filling. I also managed to have Sprite which is not as regular in Madrid as it is in the UK. What...

This week, I talk passionately about what I want to do in life and my vision. It is ok to be nervous. It is part of the process.

It's time to be honest. With you and myself. I have been slacking. HARD. My morning routine is virtually non-existent. I have been struggling with starting my company, starting in sales, and I've been asking myself a lot about what I am going into business for.
