Before you even start setting goals it’s a good idea to do some preparation by looking back over your last year as you’ll get vital insights to help you create really powerful goals for the next year. 

Firstly, make a list of all the things you did last year that made you proud and happy. Look at all the different areas of your life and think abou...

It’s a big question that we don’t often take time to think about.

After all, 10 years ago is almost ancient history with the speed that things change these days.

But what about the journey you’ve come on over those 10 years. Way back then, could you have imagined where you are today? All the things you learned? All the things you've done?
