Pause for reflection on your entrepreneurial journey. What goals did you achieve this Christmas? Reflect on the business blessings, the lessons learned, and the moments that have shaped your professional path. Christmas is a beautiful time to appreciate your entrepreneurial voyage and the collaborators who journeyed with you.

Gifts of Presence:
Amidst the gift-giving, remember the most precious gift is your presence. Be present in strategy sessions, cherish the company of your entrepreneurial tribe, and create business memories that linger long after the festive decorations are put away.

Hey, Goal Getters!

Guess what? It's Takeoff Tuesday, and we're strapped in, ready for lift-off!

As Mel Robbins says, "You are one decision away from a totally different life." So, let's make decisions today that skyrocket us into our full potential.

1. Decision Launchpad: Ignite Your Power

Begin with a Decision Launchpad. Identify a decision you've been putting off and launch it into action. This is your ticket to a different trajectory, a life uncharted.

2. #FearCrusher: Smash Those Doubts

Activate your #FearCrusher mode. Identify a fear that's holding you back and smash it to bits. Remember, every step toward fear is a step toward freedom.

Be a Momentum Builder. Achieve a small win today – it could be ticking off a to-do or nailing a challenging task. Small wins create massive momentum.

4. Gratitude Expedition: Map Your Blessings

Embark on a Gratitude Expedition. Map out your blessings. What are you grateful for today? Gratitude is the compass that guides us on this journey.

6. #ChallengeNavigator: Tackle the Uncharted

Transform into a #ChallengeNavigator. Identify a challenge you've been avoiding and navigate through it. Challenges are detours, not dead-ends.

7. Evening Reflection: Blueprint for Tomorrow

Goal Getters, this Takeoff Tuesday is YOURS. Make decisions that propel you into the life you desire. As Mel says, "Start before you're ready." Ready or not, here we go!

Soaring with you,

Monday Momentum: Fueled by Purpose

Hey, Goal Getters!

Let's kick off the week with a quote from Robert Kiyosaki, "The richest people in the world look for and build networks, everyone else looks for work." Now, let that sink in as we dive into the Monday Momentum – your ignition switch for a purpose-driven week.

1. #WakeUpWin: Conquer Your Morning

Start with a #WakeUpWin. Resist the snooze button, and instead, rise with intention. Your morning routine sets the tone for the entire day. Let's eat that frog (great book!)!

2. #NetworkExpansion: Building Bridges, Not Walls

Channel your inner Kiyosaki and focus on #NetworkExpansion. It's not just about the number of connections but the quality. Reach out, make that call, send that email – build bridges that elevate your journey.

3. #ChallengeConfrontation: Embrace the Uncomfortable

Embrace #ChallengeConfrontation. Growth is found in discomfort. Identify a challenge today and confront it head-on. This is where your true strength lies.

4. #GoalGazing: Eyes on the Prize

Engage in #GoalGazing. Revisit your weekly goals. What's the prize you're aiming for? Keep your eyes on it and let it fuel your actions throughout the day. Add this to your daily visualisation.

5. #PowerHour: Amplifying Productivity

️Make this the week to unleash your #PowerHour. Dedicate 60 minutes to high-impact, focused work. Shut off distractions, and watch your productivity soar.

6. #CompassionCharge: Spread Positivity

Inject a #CompassionCharge into your day. Reach out to someone (or even better more than one person) with a positive message, express gratitude, or offer support. Small acts of kindness create ripples of positive energy.

7. #ReflectAndReset: Your Evening Ritual

Wind down in the evening with #ReflectAndReset. Review your wins, acknowledge challenges, and set the tone for tomorrow. Your evening ritual primes you for another day of conquering.

Goal Getters, let's transform Monday from a hurdle into a launchpad. With Kiyosaki's wisdom echoing in our minds, we're not just chasing success; we're building a network that propels us forward.

Ignite the week!

Self-Care Sunday: Nurturing the Power Within

Hey, Empowerful Souls!

Welcome to Self-Care Sunday, the oasis in our week where we slow down, recharge, and give ourselves the care we truly deserve. Today, let's delve into the magic of self-care and why it's the secret sauce to unleashing our inner power.

The Art of Self-Care: More Than Just Bubble Baths

Sure, a bubble bath can be heavenly, but self-care goes beyond the surface. It's about tuning into your needs, embracing self-love, and creating rituals that replenish your mind, body, and spirit. From morning affirmations to evening reflections, every act of self-care is a declaration that you are worth it. Make it a daily ritual.

The Power of Saying 'No'

Self-care also means setting boundaries and saying 'no' when needed. It's a declaration that your well-being is a priority. So, today, let's practice saying 'no' to what drains us and 'yes' to what nourishes our souls.

Gratitude Journaling: A Sunday Tradition

Grab your journal! Let's jot down three things we're grateful for today. It could be a moment, a person, or even the sunshine streaming through your window. Gratitude is a superpower that amplifies the good vibes in our lives.

Mindful Moments in Nature

Whether it's a walk in the park or a balcony breath session, let's embrace nature today. Feel the earth beneath your feet, breathe in the fresh air, and relish the present moment. Nature has a way of grounding us and reconnecting us with our inner strength.

Your Sunday Rituals

In the comments, share your favorite self-care rituals or moments from today. Let's inspire each other to prioritise self-care and make it a non-negotiable part of our routines.

Looking Ahead: A Week of Empowerment

As we bid farewell to this Self-Care Sunday, let's carry this rejuvenated energy into the coming week. Remember, you are your most significant investment. Embrace self-care, and watch your power flourish.

Wishing you a Sunday filled with self-love and renewal!

Success: It's a Journey, Not a Picnic

You heard me right – success isn't a destination; it's a wild, exhilarating journey. Every step, every stumble, and every little hurdle you conquer adds up to the badass story you're creating. So, let's stop and give credit where credit's due – to the hustle, the grind, and the pursuit of something bigger.

Championing the Little Wins

Now, I know we're all focussed on those jaw-dropping victories, but don't sleep on the small wins. Bagging a new deal, mastering a tricky skill, or even just surviving a challenging week – these are the unsung heroes of success. They're the unsung heroes that set the stage for the big, dazzling acts.

Gratitude: Your Secret Weapon

Time to flex that gratitude muscle! Take a minute to appreciate the small things, the people backing you up, and the curveballs life throws your way. Gratitude isn't just a feel-good thing; it's a magnetic force that draws in more awesomeness.


Your Turn to Shine!

Drop your victories in the comments – big, small, medium, we want them all! Your wins are sparks that ignite a blaze of inspiration in our community.

So, let's toast to the journey, to every mini milestone, and to the countless victories lining our path. Remember, success isn't just a goal; it's a lifestyle.

Sending vibes of triumph your way!

Your time is limited ⏳

Love this quote from Steve Jobs. Our time is limited. It's so tempting to wait until we are ready to make a big change. In my experience action has always preceded the confidence to 'do the thing' in Seedball and property it's always been about listening to that inner voice and drowning out others opinions.
Follow your heart and intuition and you'll get where you want to go!
Here's to reaching our goals!

It's time we were all a little more Stoic 💫

“Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.”

– Seneca. On The Shortness of Life 💫

It's time we were all a little more stoic....

Good guys WIN 😇🏆

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs

The P.E.A. Nature Award for @seed_ball arrived! Might be time to get a little trophy cabinet 😆😀! In all seriousness though - look how pretty it is 😍 ! This award is probably the award we are most proud of ... it's an award that recognises pioneers who are setting us on a path towards a more sustainable future! How fricking cool is that?! When we started Seedball and at every step of the way we have focussed on building a business that does good in the world. That changes the way people garden and the way they think about their gardens. It's not been easy and our success now is built on years of hard slog. But, I wouldn't change any of it for the world!
.
Do you want to start a business? I encourage you to really go for it and start a business that you believe in! That is aligned with your heart. Your Ikigai. Work hard and the rewards are beyond what you can even imagine.

We've given away 200,000 wildflower seed balls!

New product launch! 🌟 Keep innovating! 🌟

Soooo proud and slightly obsessed with our new Wildlife lovers seedball match boxes - available on Not On The High Street! I'm so lucky my sister in law is a book designer so she could hand draw the designs and make them just right 😍 ... as a side note - sooooo difficult to get onto Not On The High Street. It's taken a ton of effort to get online with them but 100% worth it!

I DIDN’T COME THIS FAR TO ONLY COME THIS FAR 🎯

Lately, it's all been a bit much hasn't it?! It's certainly taking extra will power to keep on pushing toward goals in this current climate. What I have learned about myself is that I'm pretty good at home schooling and small things like candles, music and cups of chai make a massive difference to mood and my ability to keep on keeping on.

You might be thinking that now is the time to quit, you've got far.. not quite your goal but pretty good. Stop! Take a moment... say to yourself ...

"I didn’t come this far to only come this far."

What you have achieved so far has been tremendous! Nothing should stop you! Now is the time to make yourself unstoppable.

But of course, you are human. Be kind to you! Stop, if it's too much. But don't stop because of one moment in a lifetime, making you tired.

Take a break to rest, to recharge, grab a cuppa and a chocolate biscuit - take time to think and plan next steps! And, get back to what you were doing when you are ready to!
