This cost me £, time and tears to learn, and it's my Christmas gift to you.

SunMonday Newsletter

Happy Monday! I know, a day late. Life happened yesterday.

I hope this finds you happy, peaceful and prepared for the holiday season.

I have been a tad absent in the past 10 days as I reflect on the past year and how I want to serve next year.

I feel there’s a better version of this newsletter and my content ready to be birthed.

What about you? Have you been reflecting and planning?

In our businesses it’s something we often do much more regularly than in our lives. Yet our lives, and what we hope for ourselves and family are so much more important.

“We are better founders when we are comfortable with our personal foundations.”

In this newsletter I would like to gift you a summary of the lessons I took from 2024, that you can have in a few minutes.

I am going to cover three areas (health, business and wealth) this week and three areas next week (marketing, personal growth/consciousness and resources).

So grab a cuppa (mines an Earl Grey) and lets ponder something very powerful that could transform how you show up in the world, especially when times get tough in your life or business.

Best Health Lessons I Took From 2024 – Top 3

I started the year with what I thought was a good morning routine, this year I took it to a new level. I am not a health expert, this is just what works for me. And it’s not that mind-blowing – but do we do it?

“It’s not change we fear, but what we think we must lose in the process”

Health Lessons:

• Vitamins and Minerals: work out what you need that will benefit you. I take sea salt first thing in the morning that helps me avoid dehydration. I take Vitamin D3 (with K2 and Zinc) to keep my immune system boosted, especially here in the grey, far North of England. The surprise one for me was Magnesium. My energy levels are amazing, and my body just feels better for it.
• Exercise and Movement: I exercise each morning for 10 -20 minutes, as soon as I get out of bed and before I do anything else. I don’t know why but this gives me massive energy for the rest of the day and for the first time in my life, I am losing weight as a biproduct. (I also don’t eat until after noon).
  I take movement breaks every couple of hours, and I walk my dogs twice per day. Nothing massive but the impact has been exponential.
• Mindfulness and Yoga: Mindfulness, breathing breaks and Yoga for body, mind and stress release. A wonderful way to rest and balance.

Best Business Lessons I Took From 2024

This is an interesting category for me this year. I learned things about business and success from a different perspective and different attitudes. Modelling excellence is something I constantly aspire to. How I do that in 2025 has significantly shifted.

Here’s are my business lessons:

1.  Find Your ‘Big Idea’ and stick to it: Find what you are passionate about and love to share. Within that, find that one, big idea, which when you speak it, folks want to know more.
   For instance an infant sleep coach might say – ‘I help babies sleep at night’. Simple and powerful for parents who are struggling with sleepless nights.

My big idea for 2025 – I help women over 50, supplement their income and build a security cushion with clientless websites.

2.  Choose one mentor and use their systems: I have dabbled with a series of mentors over the year and never really committed to just one plan. It’s meant I have left money on the table because I have failed to follow through with marketing on occasion.
   This year I have identified who I want to mentor me and how I want to work.
   I am so relieved to have this clarity before 2025 begins.
3.  Love what you do, love the journey, even when you don’t like it: Choose to love your work. To love the present moment and the journey. Cut down the amount of time you are focused elsewhere and get with what you can do and how you can show up in the powerful now. It not only changes how you feel and appear, it changes everyone’s experience of you and your business.
   - I haven’t been very good at this in 2024. It’s a huge goal for me in 2025.

"Entrepreneurship is not just about reaching the destination; it's about enjoying the journey. When you love the process, that passion radiates to your clients and inspires them to join you on your path."

Best Wealth Lessons I Took From 2024 – Top 3

Wealth and Money have been my Achilles heel. At a time when many of the western currencies have come to the end of their lifecycle and new systems are being proposed, my relationship with money has definitely shifted to a different level, at last. I hope some of the lessons I learned this year can be of benefit to you as we move into unchartered territory.

Here Are My Wealth Lessons:

1.  Buy Silver: Even if you think you can’t afford it. Shelve that one night out, put the wine back on the shelf, go a week without take-out coffee. You can thank me later.
2.  Identify Your Values and Beliefs Around Money: Money is a means of exchange of value. Our current system is designed to keep you in lack. Choose a different relationship with your value, with the energy of exchange and with prosperity. We live in an abundant universe and the creator wants you to have everything you need and more. Allow it in.
   I’m working on this myself and have included a whole section to help create a shift around money and lack, in my Clear, Clarity, Create program – New Life by Design.
3.  Define Your Vision and the Essence Behind Wealth: What is the purpose of wealth for you? What does it give you? What does it allow you to do? How does it allow you to contribute to you, your family, your clients, your community? Get clear on this can really help you allow more into your life
4.  Bonus!: Decide money is easy to make and flows to you with ease. Decide that you know how to manage money. Decide you can exceed your current ‘Upper Limit’ and expand.

These are just an example of some of the lessons that have influenced me this year and are shaping my 2025. Some may seem common sense and surface level. It feels like I revisited them and gone deeper into what they mean for me. Can you relate?

“True wealth is not measured by the money you possess, but by the value you create and the worth you bring to others."

I hope this adds value and gives you something to ponder this week.
I would love your thoughts and perspective on this.

P.S. Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you:

#1: Check our my Coffee and Coaching Live on my YouTube and Rumble Channels (Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning – 11 am – live). I'm putting a ton of energy into creating heaps of valuable live content that I think you'll like. It’s my aim to create a healthy habit of live content that serves you. Come check out my channel, and give me a like and subscribe.

#2: Strategy Calls

As entrepreneurs, sometimes we just need an hour with another like-minded person to figure out what to focus on next. And to keep it simple. And to identify our next, impactful, action steps.

Sometimes you’re too close to figure that out for yourself.

How often do you take time out to move away from the doing in your business, and focus on the big picture, reviewing the dream and getting to the nitty gritty stuff that niggles you every day?

In the 1-1 strategy sessions I help you cut through the fog and get crystal clear on your next steps toward next level results - more clients, more sales, more effective marketing, tech clarity and simplicity – whatever it is for you.

If you are interested, drop me a message and I will send you full details and how to apply.

#3: Follow me on LinkedIn for more Tech, strategy, systems, marketing tips, and happiness-building.
