How to Overcome Negativity in 3 Steps

Imagine how much better your life would be if you learnt how to overcome negativity. For most of us all it takes is just one negative comment, literally just one, and it can ruin our entire day.Even if everything else has been good in our day and other positive things have been said, just one bad thing and, more often than not, it wipes all of that out.When I was working full time in marketing and advertising this happened to me all the time.And it wouldn’t even have to be a comment. It could just be something that I felt I hadn’t done as well as I should have or a mistake I...

Who gives a shit if it’s your right to own a gun?

“It’s my right, you can’t take my rights away from me” So goes the defensive cry of thousands who are upset with the anti-gun rallies taking place in the US following the Florida shooting last week. But really, all I can think every time I hear this is: So. F**king. What? Saying you should be able to own a gun because “It’s my right” is not an argument. That is just clarifying the current state of affairs. Most people are not debating whether or not you have the right to own a gun**. Just because you currently have the right to do something though it doesn’t necessarily follow that you...

The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Website for your Business

Creating a website for your business or blog can seem like a daunting task but let’s be honest, if you don’t have a website you aren’t going to get very far in your business. If fact you’re probably better off not telling anyone about your business until you do have a website up as it will negatively effect the potential customer, or client’s, opinion of you if you don’t have a website Unfortunately to create a good website, a developer is likely to set you back thousands (I should know I am one 😉 ) and I know how tight money can be when first starting a business. Especially if it’s a...

The Ultimate New Years Resolution You’ve Probably Never Thought of Before

I’ve never really been big on New Year's Resolutions.It’s always felt a bit too similar to starting a diet on a Monday; it leads you to do more of the behavior you want to stop in the lead up (or avoid the one you’re trying to start) and has a tendency to set you up for failure. It’s as if you’re expecting yourself to wake up with a brain transplant on the aforementioned day and suddenly fully commit to doing, or not doing, that thing.Seems somewhat unrealistic to me.As with diets gradual changes in habits tend to provide much more long lasting results and have much higher...

The Problem of Expectations

Have you ever booked an expensive hotel that you thought was going to be wonderful only to arrive and be disappointed? Have you ever had a friend let you down and not support you as much as you wished they would? Have you ever fought with your partner about the washing up? Expectations caused all of these problems. Our lives are full of expectations. It's very rare not to have expectations as to what a situation will be like or what another person will do. And those expectations cause us heartache, anger and sadness. The higher the expectations the worse it is. For example...

Fuck You Gary Vaynerchuk

I am so fucking angry at Gary Vaynerchuk (aka. Gary Vee) for the damage he will cause to thousands of peoples’ lives (if not millions) with the toxic views shared in...

How to be successful

It is so easy when working in a high-pressured job to get caught up in constantly wanting to move forward in your job and that progression being the mark by which you measure the successfulness of your life. I should know, I did it for years. But what about everything else in your life?Do the things you achieve outside of work not class as determining whether you are successful or not as well? And shouldn’t those things you achieve in relation to work that don’t even necessarily move you up the career ladder still count as making you successful too? Why are we sticking to such...
