Just because something feels uncomfortable the first time you do it should you stop? 

We run an event at the PopUp Business School which is called walk like the president/first lady.   The basic message of the exercise is to change your body language to change the way you feel.  So we ask people to adopt confident body language and then walk round the room and meet other people.  The exercise creates some real energy in the room and gets people going!

Financial independence is when your investments bring in more income than you need to live on.  What this means is that you have decoupled your time from your finances.  You can spend your time doing anything you want without having to worry if money is going to come in or not.

UK High Streets "have twice as many shops as needed" according to a recent report * 

​As I walk round my home town of Basingstoke, Hampshire there are empty shops on every corner and space waiting to be utilised! 

Buy small liabilities and instead invest in assets was the end of my last blog post.  This sounds great but how the hell do you actually do that? How do you buy an asset? Are you asking me to go out an buy an investment property now? I don't have the cash!

Where does all the money go?  What are you spending it on? We have HOW MUCH LEFT?!??? Most people have no idea where all their money goes and are shocked at how little they have left at the end of the month.  Where is your money going and what are you spending it on?
