1. Wake up every morning at 5.30
 > So you can do your yoga, read a book, take a shower, have breakfast, do your meditation and write on a piece of paper what you are grateful for (i.e. you have a 40hjob, that pays you £20000 and house not completely paid yet but still)

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months.

Although I will say, success can only be determined by the individual in the driving seat as success for some is different for others. It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high.

Finding a partner in the making

I love working on projects. I love working with others. When I started to be a volunteer coordinator for Positive Money in Leicester, I wanted to find a partner to create some events on the theme of money. This person had to be reliable, trustworthy and hard working.  I did not find the person through the various meetings and events which I organised or participated in. The individuals I have met were not there to collaborate in the way I wanted. They were looking to gain other social benefits. Eventually, one person revealed herself to be the right partner whilst I was volunteering to support her own scheme: Footpaths, a carbon footprint reduction community-based programme . I run some sessions with her as a co-facilitator. Through our preparation meetings, I shared my vision for Positive Money in Leicester and our two worlds merged. Since then, we are partners. Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Ride Southern Winds to your goals

You may have for so long tried to follow the North Star. It appeared to be the only way to arrive at the destination you are dreaming of. You made a map of goals to accomplish. You shaped your persona and your tools to drive your boat as best as possible in the sea of opportunities. And then... Everything is going South. A rollercoaster of emotions comes your way and before you know it, thunder is here as your cold head focused on your goal meets warm winds from down under. You do not know how to handle it all. one advice: Go South. Ride the winds. The warm and not so warm. Yet keep watching your North Star. You will get there eventually. Do not fight against the warmth of your feelings. They may burn you alive or even worse throw you out off board
