Travelling is meant to be fun.  It is also expensive and there are lots of things that can go wrong, where the costs go up a lot more than you expect.  I have been travelling my whole life.  My first overseas trip was with my parents when I was 4 years old.  As a grown up, I have gone overseas at le...

I don’t know about you, but I certainly hadn’t thought that much about the lifestyle I wanted when I was a teenager, or even in my twenties.  My thoughts about the future were mainly things that had been drummed into me from my parents and grandparents – “get good grades, go to university, and get a...

I’m guessing you went into business to do something that you enjoy, or felt strongly enough about to keep at it.  Not to necessarily become a finance person.  However, your finances are key to helping you amplify your impact and reach more customers.  Not to mention fund the lifestyle that you want!...

How Embracing Failure Brings Happiness

When we are children we love to dream.  Dreaming of games, far away places, new worlds, you name it.  There are no boundaries to imagination when you're a child and haven't heard "you can't do that" enough times.

My daughter has some pretty big dreams, and it has made me realise that I have put som...

Support is something, as human beings, that we all need.  It isn't always there naturally though.  When you think that our first experiences in life are our families, and for various reasons they may not be able to provide much support, or the support is either financial or emotional, not both.

That travelling bug is mighty.  I caught it as a young child travelling with my parents.  It started out with us going back to Europe every 2 years to visit family, and then when I was old enough to travel on my own I would travel as often as I could.  

The two main things you need to travel are ti...

Ah wisdom.  It's what many of us aspire to. Or, is it?

Often, when I ask my clients what they want from money, they answer (among other things), wisdom.  Or at least to be money wise.

What then does having wisdom mean about who we are as a person?  

When I looked up what the word "wisdom" means...

Time is something we all want more of. Time is more often a limiting factor in our lives that impacts our decisions – more so than money!

Money is something we can make more of, yet time is relatively limited (I say relatively, because some people get a tremendous amount in a short space of time, w...
