<p><strong>Blitzing your performance review starts way before your actual review meeting.</strong></p>
<p>It starts when the objectives on your performance review are being set.</p>
<p>Some people find themselves working under management who don’t even do regular performance reviews. If this is you ask for it.</p>
<p>However if you do have performance reviews it’s essential you know what you are expected to achieve before you set out trying to achieve it.</p>
<p>Ensure each objective has a measure, don’t sign off on them if the result is going to be subjective to the opinion of someone else.</p>
<p>This way there is no disputing if you have achieved the objective or not.</p>
<p>You will also want the objective measures to be broken down into not met, met and exceeded. Or whichever rating scale you use i.e. 1 to 5. What does each mean exactly?</p>
<p>If you don’t have clear objectives implemented as part of your quarterly and annual performance reviews get in touch with us. We can help your company role them out so all employees are clear on what they do, how they impact the business and that each and every objective ties straight into the vision and goals of the organisation.</p>
<p>Review your objectives regularly to keep on track, better yet spend the start of each quarter on completing them so you don’t leave them to the last minute and risk not achieving them.</p>
<p>Your salary and promotion opportunities could be depending on them.</p>
<p>If you don’t have clear objectives or regular performance reviews how do you know how well you’re actually doing? No knowing can cause stress and anxiety. Don’t let this be you.</p>
<p>If you need help contact us today.</p>
<p>Love your life!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Developing your ability to have laser focus in the workplace is an essential ingredient for a successful career.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The good news is</strong> that it’s a skill you can learn and develop.</p>
<p><strong>Laser focus takes practice</strong> and the more you do it the stronger it will become.</p>
<p><em>“What fires together wires together.” Donald Hebb, Canadian Neuropsychologist</em></p>
<p><strong>I recommend that you utilise every chance</strong> you have to develop your focusing skills.</p>
<p><strong>You can do this both at work and at home.</strong> Try being laser focused on your spouse or partner when they are talking to you, instead of thinking about other things or being distracted.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Here are my top 10 tips on how you can practice, develop and strengthen your ability to focus at work.</strong></p>
<p><strong>#1 STOP MULTI-TASKING</strong></p>
<p><strong>Trying to do two things at once</strong> means you’re dividing your attention and energy which eliminates your chance of achieving 100% of your potential result on any one thing you do is wiped out.</p>
<p><strong>What kind of results do you want to achieve?</strong> Average, mediocre or outstanding?</p>
<p><strong>If you’re struggling to focus</strong> stop multi-tasking immediately and watch your results and achievement soar!</p>
<p><strong>For example:</strong> If you’re ‘sort of’ listening to someone while really reading an email on your screen you run the risk of agreeing to something you don’t even know you’re agreeing to! This can cause major issues in your workplace. Plus it immediately shows disrespect to the person, that you don’t have time or the care to stop what you’re doing and listen to them. You will have poor working relationship if you multi-task on this one…</p>
<p><strong>Now I’m all for multi-tasking <em>sometimes</em></strong>&nbsp;(and I stress ONLY SOMETIMES) for example:</p>
<p>1. Catching up with friends while walking to socialize and exercise at the same time or,<br />
2. Turning your travel time into a learning environment, by listening to audio books while on the train or driving.<br />
3. Listening and dancing to music while cleaning your house!</p>
<p><strong>BUT still if I really want to do something outstandingly well,</strong> I will turn on my laser focus skills and apply 100% of my attention and energy to get my best results. I recommend that you do too.</p>
<p><strong>#2 OBSERVE WHAT DISTRACTS YOU&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Reduce-Distractions-at-work.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1422" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Reduce-Distractions-at-work.jpg" alt="Reduce Distractions at work" width="299" height="299"/></a>Different things distract different people</strong> e.g. mobile phones, pop-up messages, chatter in the office, loud music, email messages, too many applications open, a messy desk the list goes on.</p>
<p><strong>If you develop a laser focus you can block all of these things out.</strong> Trust me, once I sat at a desk which was located right at the main door. I decided to switch on, my all time best laser focusing skills because I knew my boss wasn’t paying me to sit there and say hello to everyone who walked past all day long.</p>
<p><strong>Usually the majority of your distractions are in your mind</strong> i.e. your thoughts which are not on the present moment or on the current task at hand.<br />
Your mind may wonder, thinking about all the other tasks you need to do next, worse you’re too busy judging what others around you are doing or not doing and this only clogs up your brain space. Either deal with it, i.e. any issues that are on your mind by effective communication with that person, or let it go and focus on YOUR work.</p>
<p><strong>#3 SET UP YOUR ENVIRONMENT SO IT SUPPORTS YOU</strong></p>
<p><strong>Turn your phone on silent</strong> and put it in the bottom drawer, close down applications you don’t need right now and tidy up your workplace for if you work in a chaotic environment chances are your mind is chaotic as well.</p>
<p><strong>#4 COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS IN YOUR TEAM</strong></p>
<p><strong>Communicate with your team members</strong> and others in the office to find out what you might be doing that distracts them, and share ideas to help everyone in your office develop excellent focusing skills.</p>
<p><strong>Having laser focus in the workplace</strong> doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t stop to help others or enjoy a little bit of social time too. It’s all about balance.</p>
<p><strong>You can educate your fellow office workers</strong> when you are about to go into your laser focus zone. I love using this approach which teaches others when is a good time to ask for your help and when to avoid interrupting you. You can use this example:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“Hey everyone I just want to check in to see if any of anyone will need me in the next 2 hours. I’m about to concentrate on a detailed piece of work in this time, so if you have any questions for me, I can either help you now before I start or afterwards, which will be at 3pm.”</em></p>
<p><strong>People will either catch you now</strong> or say 3pm is great for me I have a few questions for you then.</p>
<p><strong>Agree to that time</strong> and then get into your focus zone. If that person attempts to interrupt you after 10mins, do not get frustrated! Simply answer with something like this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>“I’d love to help you out with that, however as discussed, I’m currently focused on X task right now up until 3pm. Is it ok if I help you at 3pm or has something come up that is urgent and I need to help you with right now?”</em></p>
<p><strong>If it’s urgent, good you want to know and help out,</strong> if not, you’re just letting the person know that you take your focus time seriously. It’s not that you won’t help them, but there are times set for when it’s best for you, to both help them and get your work done each day as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong> TIP:</strong> At 3pm stop what you’re doing, even if you haven’t finished because you want to be true to your word. Go over to the person and let them know that as agreed, you’re ready to help them now.</em></p>
<p><strong>Chances are they are not ready!</strong> If so, just smile and remind them 3pm was agreed, they will hurry up and not fail to be ready for you next time.</p>
<p><strong>The last thing you want to do is</strong> not follow up on your promise, because then others will not trust you that you will help them, when you put them off to another time.</p>
<p><strong>#5 LISTEN TO MUSIC WITHOUT LYRICS</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is a common way</strong> for open plan office workers to block out distractions from others.</p>
<p><strong>#6 WEAR SOUND PROOFING EAR MUFFS</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/focus-3.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1400" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/focus-3-300x300.jpg" alt="focus 3" width="300" height="300"/></a></p>
<p><strong>These are all the rage now, with people wanting more peace, quiet and tranquility in the world.</strong> You may see people walking around in airports, busy train stations and even open plan workplaces to block out noise and distractions for peace and quiet.</p>
<p><strong>This can be a good alternative</strong> to asking others around you to be quiet, or listening to music when you just want peace.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>#7 GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP, EAT WELL &amp; EXERCISE DAILY&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>It’s difficult to focus when you’re tired,</strong> dehydrated, hungry or feeling lethargic. Get out for a quick brisk walk to get your energy flowing before sitting down to focus on your work.</p>
<p><strong>Taking regular breaks</strong> between focus times helps too.</p>
<p><strong>#8 DON&#8217;T ALLOW YOUR STRENGTHS TO BECOME WEAKNESSES&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>If one of your strengths is attention to detail</strong> or making things perfect, sometimes these strengths can get in the way of delivering your work in a timely manner.</p>
<p><strong>Be careful that you’re not letting your work performance down</strong> by spending too much time trying to make something perfect or getting off track zoning in on minor, sometimes unnecessary details that take you away from seeing the bigger picture and ultimate goal you’re trying to achieve.</p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you love helping others,</strong> be careful that you’re not too busy stopping to help others all day long that your own work is at risk of being done.</p>
<p><strong>#9 TRAIN YOUR BRAIN&nbsp;</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Brain-Neural-Pathways.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1416" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/Brain-Neural-Pathways-300x300.jpg" alt="Brain Neural Pathways" width="300" height="300"/></a><br />
<strong>First, get crystal clear on EXACTLY what you want to focus on</strong> and do in this moment and for the next e.g. 90 minutes. Then every time your mind wonders off… thinking about another task, bring your focus back to the task at hand.</p>
<p><strong>As you commit to doing this,</strong> you will build the strength of your focusing powers until they become a natural and easy way in which you work.</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>#10 SET TIMERS &amp; YOUR OWN STEEP DEADLINES&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Establish how long you think a task</strong> should take you, or set yourself a new target to complete it in, check the clock and stay committed to completing the task in that time.</p>
<p><strong>You will be surprised that for every 5 minute interruption</strong> or distraction, it can completely wipe out that latest hour in your day of doing real focused work.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>It’s up to you how you spend your time!</em></p>
<p><strong>Studies show that when a person is distracted,</strong> even if for only 5 minutes it takes them 25 minutes to get back into flow. Only to be interrupted again within the next half an hour, people in the workplace often can expect to have only 2 hours of real work time!</p>
<p><strong>Research also shows that people will take</strong> as long a time as they have, to get the job done. That’s why when we have big looming deadlines we can work fast with focus and literally move mountains! This is because we know we do not have time to think about or be distracted by anything. When workflow is slow, we slow down right along with it.</p>
<p><strong>What I do here is set myself my own tight deadline</strong>&nbsp;with a reward once achieved, so I’m not left wondering where on earth the week went and feelings as though I barely got anything done.</p>
<p><strong>No wonder so many people leave work feeling as though</strong> they didn’t really get anything or enough done. Let’s change that, with encouraging and developing laser focus, high productivity and efficient brains in your team!</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>‘B<em>lowing their Top’</em>?</strong></p>
<p><strong>People who get mad a lot,</strong> particularly over little things, are really telling us they feel out of control in some aspect of their life. Generally the small things they appear to be getting mad at, aren&#8217;t the real reasons they are mad.</p>
<p><strong>Firstly, always check in and listen</strong> to what the person is saying in case there is a very valid point about you, that you can address and change to help the situation.</p>
<p><strong>However, here we&#8217;re talking about common occurrences of</strong> yelling and/or getting upset or frustrated at the little things. You have probably experienced someone like this in either your personal or professional life.</p>
<p><strong>So these tips can be applied both at work or home</strong> &#8211; to anyone who dares to yell at you!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>6 TOP TIPS!</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Stay calm</strong></p>
<p>Your heart rate might start to race when someone is yelling at you, but it’s important to stay calm on the inside and BREATH.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Work on calming down your inner self and remain looking calm on the outside.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Keep your face and body relaxed.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Chances are they are letting loose i.e. raving on and on about something &#8211; which actually gives you TIME to work on being calm before you need to respond! :-)&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>2. Don&#8217;t be or show that you&#8217;re afraid!</strong></p>
<p>If you can see a &#8220;mad manager&#8221;<strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">&nbsp;walking around your office or they are directly yelling at you &#8211; don’t be afraid. (Unless you fear physical violence then best step away fast!) Certainly don’t coward down to a person who is yelling. They are only emotions and they OWN their emotions, don&#8217;t allow them to put their emotions onto you.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Ask intelligent questions.</strong></p>
<p>For example in a confident and caring way, ask with a concerned look on your face that also says – I know you&#8217;re really upset but I know I&#8217;m not the deep cause of your anger and I&#8217;m not going to &#8216;buy into&#8217; this behaviour of yours or think for a second it&#8217;s all my fault.</p>
<p><em>“Is everything is ok?”</em></p>
<p>This can show, if done correctly, that you can see the real reason why they are getting mad, is NOT what they&#8217;re blowing up about. This is your chance to show your emotional intelligence and insight.</p>
<p><strong>4. Never get mad back.</strong></p>
<p>People might push your buttons and if you do get mad, well that is for another topic of discussion (i.e. Finding your own deeper causes of what is upsetting YOU! Contact me today if you need help with this.)&nbsp;</p>
<p>So never get mad back, because this just turns into a fight and you have raised your voice, volume and emotions to match theirs. Instead as tip #1 stay calm and strong so they have to come down and match your calm state.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If a person is lashing out, what they really need in that moment is love, understanding and care. For that person is upset and feeling out of control&#8230;. and that&#8217;s not nice.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>* It doesn&#8217;t mean we allow them to take it out on us, but that we know it&#8217;s not a nice place for anyone to be in, and we wouldn&#8217;t ever wish it on others.&nbsp;</em></p>
<p><strong>5. Don’t&nbsp;criticise&nbsp;them or put them down.</strong></p>
<p>We are not here to judge others, but we do teach others how to communicate with us.</p>
<p>You could ask (and this is my personal example I used with someone, many years ago, who <em>used</em> to yell at me, but not anymore!) in a calm voice:</p>
<p><em>“Why are you yelling?”</em></p>
<p>The person responded yelling at the top of their voice:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;M NOT YELLING!!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>* Quickly realising yelling that statement was a bit silly and calmed right down instantly :-)&nbsp;</p>
<p>With this question, the person will think about the real reason why they are so mad or frustrated, and not actually be able to answer this question and often they walk away or calm down. The reason for this is because, more often than not it&#8217;s either:&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Nothing to do with what they are yelling about or,&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. It&#8217;s too private or difficult for them to share.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So often in the workplace, the underlying cause won&#8217;t generally have a lot to do with you. It’s something personal or other work issues within them. Or if it does have something to do with you, it goes much, much deeper&#8230;. and they can&#8217;t seem to speak to you about it in a way that they think will gain a successful resolution. It&#8217;s best to help them try, by creating an open and safe environment to communicate with you in.</p>
<p><strong>6. Be assertive</strong></p>
<p>Here is a great example of a way you can respond any time anyone is yelling at you, at work or at home &#8211; whatever the topic or situation:</p>
<p><em>“I would really like to talk to you about this issue, but not when you’re yelling at me, so perhaps you can calm down now and we can discuss it in a professional and/or nice way, or let me know if and when you’re ready to talk to me calmly in the future.”</em></p>
<p>Here you are open and willing to talk, just not in that way.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Taking this approach using the 6 tips</strong> above, helps communicate to the person yelling, that you’re not someone to be yelled at or someone they can take their frustrations out on.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Remember only 7% of our communication</strong> comes from the words we use, so embrace the message you want to deliver with your entire body language and inner thoughts and intentions of a positive outcome.</p>
<p><strong>All the best</strong> in teaching others that you are not someone to be yelled at!&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Try it out for yourself</strong> if and when you need to, and let me know how you get on! I would love to hear from you.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for reading and until next time&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life!</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re bored and can’t be bothered at work then you need to get interested fast.</p>
<p><strong>You might be completely &#8216;over&#8217; what you’re doing</strong>&nbsp;(<em>or</em> <em>not doing)</em> and you&#8217;re waiting for your boss, colleagues, clients or the universe to give you something exciting to work on&#8230;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>But if you wait</strong> for that you could be waiting forever.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s up to you so here is what you can do:&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>1. Decide right now that you will no longer be bored at work.&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Open your eyes to something you can do that is fun and exciting.</p>
<p><strong>You might be thinking</strong>&nbsp;there is nothing fun or exciting where I work right now.</p>
<p><strong>But I challenge you </strong>to find ‘something’.</p>
<p><strong>First of all you need to know</strong> what excites you in the first place and this is the key.</p>
<p><strong>What do you like doing that</strong> eliminates all boredom? This is all about self awareness and an entire personal development topic you can find in my book <a title="Love Mondays Now Book" href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/shop/lets-get-reading" target="_blank">&#8216;Love Mondays Now&#8217;</a>.</p>
<p><strong>However in the meantime here is what I find helps people eliminate boredom:</strong></p>
<p>• <strong>Define</strong> the meaning around a work task or project<br />
• <strong>Connect</strong> to the purpose of the work task or project<br />
• <strong>See ahead</strong> the difference doing it will make in your life and those of others when you complete the tasks and projects you are responsible for.<br />
•<strong> Tackle</strong> your tasks and projects with the above in mind and find new ones that will excite you.</p>
<p>If you’re bored, life will get bored with you. So start getting excited, find purpose and link it to something greater than yourself, then move forth with action and enthusiasm.</p>
<p><strong>TIP: The No.1 activity</strong> to release boredom from your life and work – Do SOMETHING and do it NOW! Get moving! Momentum is a marvelous thing.</p>
<p>Live Your Best Life</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>While on holiday in Hamilton Island, Victoria Australia,</strong>&nbsp;I not only had a fantastic time there but I also filmed a quick video for you, while I was hanging out on my friend&#8217;s yacht!</p>
<p><strong>If you&#8217;re a teacher or team leader</strong> then you will want to watch today&#8217;s tip on how you can find your own teachers in life while you&#8217;re teaching or leading others.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9gR7g5_Qj1w?feature=player_detailpage" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Among the many activities that Hamilton Island offers,</strong> such as SUP, yachting, swimming, hiking, diving and golf &#8211; just to name a few &#8211; it also offers fantastic art classes.</p>
<p>It was here in an art class with a teacher named Trevor that I painted my first sea turtle!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1251" style="border: 3px solid black;" alt="2014-02-02 13.13.56" src="http://www.lovemondaysnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2014-02-02-13.13.56.jpg" width="448" height="336"/></a></p>
<p><strong>Being an arty person it was one of the highlights of my trip</strong> but not just because I like to paint!</p>
<p>This teacher was exceptional because he had two outstanding qualities I think make a great teacher, trainer or leader.</p>
<p><strong>1. In just 3 hours he took us from a place</strong> we knew we were already at to a place we didn&#8217;t think possible!</p>
<p>And this had us jumping for joy!</p>
<p>I tell you, when he asked us to look around the room for inspiration and select what we wanted to paint&#8230;</p>
<p><em><strong>I chose an example from a professional artist, a sea turtle!</strong></em> Now I know I have a <em>few</em> skills in drawing and painting but it&#8217;s certainly not my number one thing.</p>
<p><strong>I had NO IDEA how</strong> I was going to get that lovely looking sea turtle onto my blank canvas&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>But with his help I did!</strong> And this didn&#8217;t only happen to me, my friends in the class also had the exact same experience.</p>
<p><strong>So when you&#8217;re teaching or leading others,</strong> strive to take your students or team members to a place they didn&#8217;t think possible. As this ignites a new found confidence, happiness and energy within them to believe that anything is possible!</p>
<p><strong>2. Trevor was also humble, in that he demonstrated</strong> that even though he is an extremely talented painter and an expert teacher all his life, he is always learning too.</p>
<p>In the class Trevor shared a story from just the day before, where a little 6 year old girl started painting in a way he had never seen before. Immediately he taught us that technique and thus expanded upon his own skills.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Our teachers can sometimes show up in the most unlikely places, however so often when its you who is teaching, its also you who can be the one who learns something very profound.</em></p>
<p><strong>Are you a teacher or team leader?</strong> What interesting lessons in life have you learnt while teaching or leading your team?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Would you like to cruise through</strong> your work day effortlessly and happily while you increase your productivity at the same time?</p>
<p><strong>Watch today&#8217;s VIDEO below</strong> where I share with you one of my secrets to creating successful work days without adding anything to your current to do list!</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/dpoF93zeklM?feature=player_detailpage" height="330" width="520" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>As you may have noticed by now,</strong> I&#8217;m a big fan of starting your day out right, to set yourself up for a fantastic day, day after day after day.</p>
<p>There is one thing I do when looking at my to do list that sets me up for a happy, effortless workday.</p>
<p>Would you like to know what that is? Yes? I thought so!</p>
<p><em><strong>It all comes down to scanning my list and how I prioritise.</strong></em></p>
<p>Now at times I advise clients to do the opposite of what I&#8217;m about to tell you. It&#8217;s when they&#8217;re feeling down, after having a break or holiday from work or severely lacking in confidence.</p>
<p>But when you&#8217;re cruising along and all is quite well I highly recommend trying this prioritising technique.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 1.</strong> Scan your to do list and choose the hardest task on there, the one you are really resisting, perhaps you&#8217;ve been putting it off for ages.</p>
<p><strong>STEP 2.</strong> Do it! Do the hardest thing first &#8211; why? Because when you do the hardest thing first, after you have finished it you feel fantastic! You are so happy and guess what? Everything that comes after that is a cinch!</p>
<p><strong>Step 3.</strong> Repeat it every day for a whole week and let me know how happy you feel and how productive you become.</p>
<p>I like to follow this strategy in my personal life too, by getting up really early, exercising hard, challenging my mind, body and spirit and guess what happens then? After a morning like that, whatever comes my way for the rest of the day seems easy.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s time for you to try it and come back and comment on my blog to let me know how you get on. To leave a comment below!</p>
<p>Thanks for watching and stay tuned for my next video tip &#8216;What is easy to do is also easy not to do!&#8217;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Today I reveal to you how</strong> to determine if you&#8217;ve really had enough of your job, business, playing a sport or even your relationship!</p>
<p>Watch my video from the beautiful <strong>ski fields at Falls Creek Australia.</strong></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/sswW3Dk8QTY?feature=player_detailpage" height="250" width="530" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU&#8217;VE REALLY HAD ENOUGH</strong></p>
<p><strong>Perhaps you have been playing a sport</strong> for many years and seem to have lost the fun or drive you once had for it.</p>
<p><strong>Or you think you&#8217;ve had enough of your</strong> current job, career or business but are not 100% sure you&#8217;re ready to let it go.</p>
<p><strong>Maybe you&#8217;re thinking</strong> this same thing about your relationship&#8230;</p>
<p>Now there are definitely times in our lives when we have really had enough and it&#8217;s time to &#8216;hang up the boots&#8217; but if we once had such love, drive and fun doing something and it&#8217;s suddenly or even slowly diminished chances are there&#8217;s simply something missing.</p>
<p><strong>Here are 2 key factors for you to consider:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. You&#8217;re no longer growing,</strong> either you&#8217;ve achieved everything you want to in a sport or your business, or you just don&#8217;t have any new and inspiring goals to strive for. Perhaps your relationship is stagnant because you&#8217;re not moving forward together towards something important or meaningful.</p>
<p><strong>2. It&#8217;s time to get some outside</strong> help either from an expert or coach to help you re-ignite the love, energy and drive you once had.</p>
<p><strong>What I experienced while skiing at Falls Creek</strong> Victoria, Australia was the feeling that I&#8217;d had enough. I have always had a great love for skiing and my first day back on this trip was after a long break so I spent it &#8216;finding my feet&#8217;. The following day I ventured onto a more difficult run and again I did this on the third day.</p>
<p><strong>But after that I&#8217;d had enough</strong> and I felt like I could really just hang up my boots. I knew there was more to it and luckily enough my fellow skiing buddies convinced me I should have a lesson.</p>
<p><strong>Now at first I was reluctant,</strong> as all the ski instructors I&#8217;d had in Australia, New Zealand and Europe simply took me way out of my comfort zone and skiing down double black runs and off the edges of scary mountain cliffs. At this stage in my life I really didn&#8217;t want to risk get injured or do it simply to say I&#8217;ve conquered the mountain.</p>
<p><strong>However I decided to go along</strong> and ended up having an entirely different experience. This skiing instructor took us on a green beginner slope AND TAUGHT US expert technique. How to roll my ankles and knees properly, and how to more effectively distribute my weight.</p>
<p><strong>After this one little lesson</strong> I was on fire! I skied all day long and you couldn&#8217;t get me off the slopes I was having THE BEST time!</p>
<p><strong>WHY?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Because I was growing,</strong> I had something to work on to improve myself. If we&#8217;re not growing, learning or helping others, days can quickly and easily become mundane and boring (even at a luxurious ski resort!) and we can feel like quitting.</p>
<p>Have you ever had this type experience? Are you wondering right now in your life if you&#8217;ve really had enough of something you used to love? Please leave a comment below I would love to hear from you!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>If you don&#8217;t currently </strong>LOVE YOUR JOB or BUSINESS right now&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Check out today&#8217;s video</strong> and read below for my 3 top tips on how to love your work!</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/2C-Uq8CCTbo?feature=player_detailpage" height="250" width="530" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>1. APPRECIATE YOUR JOB &#8211; even if you don&#8217;t love it!</strong></p>
<p>How would you feel tomorrow if it was no longer there for you? How would it impact your life? How would in affect your family? We just never know what will happen tomorrow. But, what we do know is if you don&#8217;t appreciate what you already have, the universe doesn&#8217;t help you by giving you something better&#8230; it usually takes what you currently have away!</p>
<p><strong>2. LISTEN TO FEEDBACK.</strong></p>
<p>What is your boss or coach saying to you? Are there areas of improvement? This is your ideal chance to work on and improve yourself in regards to your skills and expertise right now where you are. This will also help you enjoy going to work a little bit more tomorrow when you have something specific to challenge yourself with.</p>
<p><strong>3. DO YOUR BEST.</strong></p>
<p>Even if you&#8217;re currently in a job that you don&#8217;t really love &#8211; do your best! This will not only make you feel good about yourself but you also won&#8217;t be left with regrets if your job wasn&#8217;t there tomorrow.</p>
<h2><strong>AND HERE IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST CAREER TIPS EVER!!!</strong></h2>
<p><strong>You just never know who is watching you.</strong> Perhaps another senior manager, client or colleague could see how you work and offer you an amazing opportunity. If you&#8217;re at work showing up any less than your best self&#8230; do you think they will want it give it to you? No! So get to work and be your best self, you just never know where or from who your next best career opportunity will come from.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Does your life, career or business</strong> need a bit of a boost? Would you like a dose of something to spice up your life?</p>
<p>Watch today&#8217;s video from the beautiful location of Port Douglas, Australia and read below to find out how.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Tel_Vj6iD_4?feature=player_detailpage" height="250" width="530" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>Throughout my career I&#8217;ve noticed</strong> that every time I &#8216;get on the <em>move</em>&#8216; good things happen. I can pretty much guarantee that as soon as I book a trip people come running to me for help. Even before I tell them I won&#8217;t be around in person for a while they just seem to know from universal forces and don&#8217;t want to miss out.</p>
<p>All sorts of other great things happen when I&#8217;m on the move too. For example:</p>
<p><strong>1. EXERCISE:</strong> There is nothing better than getting on the move exercising to spice up your life by gaining abundance of energy to take action!<br />
<strong>2. TAKING A BREAK:</strong> Just like athletic training, taking a break away from your usual work and life routine is extremely important. I always find my best ideas when I move away from my home or workplace to rest and do some deep thinking.<br />
<strong>3. CONNECTION:</strong> When on the move, perhaps it&#8217;s just getting out of the house or office to see friends or clients, going on holiday, travelling to new places, attending parties, networking events etc. It&#8217;s here where you can develop some of your deepest relationships and it&#8217;s your chance to really connect fully with others in person.</p>
<p>So they are my top three tips on how to spice up your life by getting on the move.</p>
<p>What changes do you think you can make in your life today to spice it up? Leave a comment below I would love to hear from you!</p>
