I finished a coaching course recently, and was asked "and what is next for you Laura?"

And without thinking I replied with something like this:

"In this season of my life of nurturing and growing, I am going to continue to follow my intuition."

Now I'm out the other side, it's given me an opportunity to reflect on what is in my control and what isn't. This is where the sphere of influence is such a useful exercise (I’ve made you a very simple document to use): to establish what you might be able to influence, those things which you allow yourself to accept and move on from, and those things you might want to get excited about and start to control more actively (yes we are allowed to control things!)

In a world that often races against the clock, it's vital to remember that life's most meaningful achievements and profound joys are rarely rushed. The path to success is not a sprint but a journey where every step counts. Embrace the process, cultivate balance, and celebrate the small victories along the way. True success is found in the harmony of a life well-lived, one that enriches not only your career but your very essence. So, take your time, savour the moments, and watch as your unique journey unfolds into a masterpiece of fulfilment and purpose.

In a world obsessed with setting and achieving goals, it's time for a paradigm shift. We're starting with something fundamental here, and focusing instead on the power of systems, processes, and long-term sustainability. By making this shift, we can attain attain the balance, finances and longevity we crave.

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, it's easy to fall into the trap of overextending ourselves, believing that the more we do, the more successful we'll be. However, sometimes it takes a moment of clarity, often with the help of an insightful coach, to realise that doing less can actually make us more productive and content.
