It's Not Just You, Life Is *Actually* Getting More Expensive How far does your money go at the moment? Have you started to wonder why you don’t seem to have that much of it left at the end of the month? Do you ever google ‘online banking conspiracies and/or scams’? Have you ever thought that your bank account might be ‘leaking’? If the answer to any of the above is yes, you might not actually be as bad with money as you think – life really is getting more expensive and, in real terms, your earnings almost definitely can’t keep up. Newly   released official figures show that average wages are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of goods for the first time in two and a half years . As the pound remains weak and Britain embarks on trying to get a Brexit deal, real people are feeling the pinch in real time. Inflation is currently at 2.3% if you look at the consumer prices index (CPI). Food prices have risen at the fastest pace in three years, up 1.2% from las...

Did you know that over 15 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg, Creator of Facebook, invited 5 people to his room at Harvard? Reason? Talk about a business opportunity! Only two went to meet him and accepted the challenge!!! Today both are billionaires! Dustin Moskovitz with over 6.5 billion and Eduardo Saverin with over $ 3.4 billion. When a friend talks to you about a business opportunity, listen, open your mind, if he/she came to you it's because he/she saw something great in you. BE THAT FRIEND WITH YOUR HEAD HELD HIGH!

One of my favorite quotes is Thomas Edison’s, “The reason that so few people recognize opportunity is that it comes dressed in overalls and looks a lot like hard work.” There is no mistaking the above statement. I think many of us are thinking back and saying, "yes, I do believe that be be true." S ometimes opportunity   does   come knocking and we don’t want to answer the door or we have listened to the opinions of others. We often say, "What do you want? Go away! I'm too busy now! My brother's uncle's wife said it does not work!  What if this was just the opportunity you were waiting for? What you have been asking for? How many times have you said, "I want more money, I need to make more money or if only there was a way to be more financially free."  What if opportunity showed up at your door and got that response? What would you do in that situation? Would you just up and leave, feeling you not welcome, would you knock again? I dou...

      Don’t be Afraid to Try! It is better to try and fail, then to have never tried at all, how can you know what you are capable of if you don’t at least try, we will be amazed at ourselves if we just strive for more in life, we all have the capabilities within us to achieve our goals and dreams! Time is not guaranteed so now is the time to take action. If not now, then when? A few years from now you may come to the realisation that you have not actually lived, you didn’t try anything new, you didn’t put in the time and effort, you chose to let fear hold you back! You have nothing to lose, things are never perfect in the beginning, the beginning is always the hardest part, but you can only grow from strength to strength by learning and doing, you can’t learn anything by just sitting around, action is what defines us and makes us into who we want to be. Knowledge without action is useless. The...
