Mary's success as a business owner and a human being is hinged on one vital concept: having absolute clarity about the outcome. As the CEO of a collection agency—a company I founded at just 24 years old—Found herself asking herself the question—what outcome do I really want? —She realized that it wasn't "make a ton of money" or "be a hotshot."

Shar Moore, the YWoman herself...an International Award Winning Mentor, Keynote Speaker, Author, Mum and Nani, a purposeful driving force, talks today all about Y Mag, why it was created and why having a powerful why helps you achieve your success.    We talk all about this and more: How she went from broke to BMW How she listened to her readers and went from digital to print (even when everyone else was telling her print was dead How she uses her Bigger than Fear WHY to drive her to succeed Why Shar started a magazine with no experience Why you need to put the car in drive first If you don't know your WHY the what you do doesn't matter Follow you why and success will come when it's meant to Dealing with rejection Without a mentor, you're choosing the hard path Trusting your intuition to create your success The power of checking in with your goals & intentions Self care just as important as setting goals    Sitting in her home office in late 2012, Shar Moore was frustrated, as she desperately craved for a Magazine that focused purely on stories of others who had walked her walk and could shine the light for her to follow. She was struggling to find the inspiration to keep going, as she had just endured her 'Broke to BMW' period in her Business, after being indirectly affected by the devastating Queensland Floods.   She yearned for stories of other women who had overcome adversity, found their purpose in life and found a way to turn their dreams into a reality. She knew it was possible, but needed written proof!   Yet what was to the point of overwhelm, was all the stories and features of celebrities, who lived surreal and sometimes false lives, skinny young models, wearing un-affordable fashion and secrets on the latest diet fad that was sure to make her look 21 again! At age 40 something, Shar was not impressed and certainly not drawn to parting with her cash, on something that was more than likely to going to make her feel worse, not better...   One of Shar's favourite quotes is from Mahatma Gandhi... 'Be the change you wish to see in the world". And she knew she had to do something.   So in February 2013, YMag was born online, bursting with stories of everyday women and men, living their true purpose in life and well Y not, Shar was the cover girl!   To find out more you can click the below links:   http://www.sharmoore.com.au/   To buy Y Mag online   https://www.ymag.com.au/   The book Shar talks about is called From Broke to BMW And she also mentions Asana as an organisational tool.

Cannot believe we are 3 months into 2018! What a whirlwind it has been. I started the year with Kirsten Morrison on how to set up a great 2018 and I thought what a perfect way to set into the next 90 days by touching base with Kirsten and see how she has created the beginning of the year and what is happening for the next 90 days.

Align your personality with your purpose, and no one can touch you. - Oprah Alignment. Why do we want it and how do we get it? One of the most popular buzz words going around at the moment, and I wonder whether the real meaning of alignment has been lost with all the buzz.  It's something that can determine either your success or your struggle to achieve.  What is alignment? Alignment is Aligning your thoughts, behaviours, emotions and energy with the person you want to become to have the results that you want in life. In the dictionary, it means arrangement in a straight line or in correct relative position and  a position of agreement or alliance. So are your behaviours, thoughts, beliefs and actions in agreement?  Really think about what you want in life and decide whether those aspirations are what you truly want.  As we can often take on other peoples expectations, ideas of success and aspirations thinking it's what we want, yet truly deep down its not. Finding your own truth and being ok with that is the first step to getting into real alignment. So these are the things to consider to get into true alignment: Analyse your beliefs and figure out if they support your goals or hold you back? Picture yourself 5 years from now, with all those goals and aspirations achieved and see how you would be behaving, believing, feeling and what energy you are holding on a daily basis. Are your actions and words truly aligning with your goals. Energy is your responsibility and choosing your emotions to support your goals keeps you in momentum Consciously taking responsibility for our actions, thoughts, emotions and energy will continue to keep you in alignment. You do not become what you want; you become what you believe. - Oprah

Unease, tension, anxiety, tension, stress, worry - all forms of fear - are caused by too much future and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness and all forms of non-forgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence - Eckhart Tolle Staying in the present moment, is the most difficult thing to do in this day and age. We are bombarded with distractions from every angle and expected to be perfect in every way and be always striving to be better, do better and live more fully. Yet, when we're always striving for the next best thing, focusing on what's next on the hustle and grind train,  we can find ourselves struggling to actually enjoy our lives and live in the moment. With stress and anxiety on the rise, we must find new ways to handle this to be able to stay present, build stronger connections and live and love more fully. Living in the moment effects our happiness, balance and performance, it helps to calm the mind,and reduce the effects of stress on the body. So how do we stay more present and live in the moment?

Today's episode is  a hybrid episode - I know weird right. But it's kinda the same concept. This week I've had a few people comment on how difficult it is to find friends in this day and age and I've also been having conversations on how to find clients in a business situation and how important understanding your ideal client is. So what is important to you? What do you value in life? Today I am using a tool that I use in my business coaching to get clear on your ideal client so your marketing, branding and advertising speaks directly to that ideal client. By using the same tool to discover what is important to you and what your interests are you can discover how to find like - minded people so you can make new friends. Random correlation yeah? Not really, when you think about. We all just want to belong, and we all want people understand what we are going through and what we want in life.  What better way to discover where to find friends than to ask yourself these important questions first. Grab a pen and paper and let's get started. :)

Why are we walking through life afraid to feel and express our emotions? Repressing and avoiding our emotions can cause severe and debilitating physical and emotional ailments.  Learning to express and process our emotions can lead to a healthy and enjoyable life of peace and well being. We often find ourselves doing everything we can to avoid our feelings - emotional eating, drinking, shopping, having sex, staying busy, burying ourselves in work and even spending hours scrolling through tv and social media. To experience a full and happy life we must learn to acknowledge, name and experience our emotions so we can process them and move forward in our lives otherwise they will come back to bite us in the ass. All emotions serve a purpose and if we allow ourselves to experience them we can learn from the message they are sending and start creating the life we want to experience. Yes society and the world want us to avoid our emotions - it makes us better consumers and keeps us indulging in spending money on things we don't need to try and make ourselves feel better. Yet all we really want is to feel. If I was to ask you to name some negative emotions, I'm sure you could come up with a full list of compelling emotions and with plenty of stories to back them up. And that's ok. As long as they are your stories. Your experience is your experience - don't allow someone else's experience to dictate your emotions. Yet, if I asked you to make a list of positive emotions - how many could you come up with?  And how many of those would you be experiencing on a daily basis? We are what we practice. So what percentage of your day would you be experiencing positive emotion compared to negative?  How could you go about cultivating more positive emotion in your day? All emotions are neutral until we label them.  So how do we process emotion?  Firstly, we must allow it to be. Acknowledge that it is there and name the emotion we are feeling and why.  Be aware of the emotion, name it accurately, without the drama and allow the healing to take place. Ways to allow the process of healing:  - Acknowledge it, name it, FEEL IT, Ask for the message  - Release writing/thought download - spend 10-15minutes (or more if you need) and write down everything you are feeling and why. You don't need to re-read it or keep it, just get it out and then throw it out.  - Exercise - process the emotion through physical movement  - Meditate  - spend some time meditating on the emotion and ask for the message to come through so you can move through it. I hope you enjoyed today's episode, here's  to a week of feeling and processing. Have an amazing week!

Sitting in feelings of self doubt keeps us small and stuck in non-action. Whenever you are have a dream, a goal and are wanting to achieve something incredible then feelings of self doubt can show up and stop us in our tracks. If we are committed to growth then we need to learn how to overcome self doubt and learn new strategies to move forward. So how do we deal with self doubt? Tune in to hear some actionable steps and tools to help you deal with self doubt and to combat the inner critic.

So, you've found yourself stuck in a rut, not taking action and you're not happy about it! So how do you pull yourself out?   Here are my top 6 tips on how to pull yourself out of a rut and get back on track. First, recognize that it is not where you want to be.  Sometimes, we indulge in self pity, and non-action because it's easier than dealing with what is not working - and it feels good in the moment. To be able to create the change we want to see, we must first recogize that it is not working and it is not what we want to be doing. Recognize your self sabotaging behaviours.  Non-action can spiral into self sabotaging behaviours like procrastination, buffering - anything to avoid feeling bad about what's going on in our lives. Recognize your thoughts and what you are focusing on. Start asking better questions to change what you are focusing on and keep you focusing on what you can do to keep you moving forward. Revisit your goals and your why.  Why is it important to you?  Who do you want to be? How do you get back to the best version of yourself?  Push past the pain of discomfort to get back to your passion and purpose of your why. "People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals -- that is, goals that do not inspire them" Tony Robbins Reignite your passion - tap into resources that will re inspire you and your mission. Move your body and get back to your self care. Go back and see what habits you have forgotten to do that set you up for success and move your body.  Please feel free to use this episode as a resource for pulling yourself out of rut when you find yourself in self sabotaging behaviours and stuck in non-action.

"I generally find that comparison is the fast track to unhappiness" Jack Canfield Why do we compare ourselves to other people, their successes, their bodies, their purchases, abilities and talents. What is it about our human nature that drives us to compare and how do we change the way we look at other peoples achievements and learn how to celebrate and admire them without having to consider our own shortcomings and inadequacies? With social media bringing the world closer, it is easier to find ourselves comparing our results to other people from all over the world. Gone are the days that we would only compare ourselves to our friends, family and close work colleagues. As the world evolves, unfortunately our brain hasn't so it is more and more important that we are vigilant with our thoughts and feelings than ever before. When you find yourself comparing your success, talent, body or results with someone else learn to ask better questions to turn comparison into modelling for success. Be accurate and curious with your judgement. - How did they achieve those results? - What actions and behaviours did they have to adopt to be successful? - What beliefs and mindset did they choose to achieve this? - What sacrifices and change of lifestyle gave them this outcome? And lastly, learn to celebrate their success and cheer them on. We all deserve success and all deserve to have our peers cheering us on from the sidelines. Success doesn't happen overnight and we must learn to admire the sacrifices, strengths, abilities and qualities that someone has to be successful. And when you admire such qualities, just know that you also have that quality within you already. Noticing it in others is the soul's yearning to express and explore that quality more.

#mondayinsight Nothing changes if nothing changes. The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. We all want change, but are we willing to do the things every day to get it? You have to want to change and be willing to gain the knowledge, change the actions and thoughts that you are in control of on a daily basis to be able to experience the change you desire.

Time is the most valuable thing to every entrepreneur. How are you protecting your time? Do you know how to say no? Are you being distracted and holding yourself back from achieving your goals? Let's consider how you protect and use your time for best productivity and focus for goal achievement.

Do you drink on a regular basis?   I did. I mean I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but I would enjoy my wine after work and Sunday sessions with friends. I also found I was overeating, spending money on things I didn't need to make myself feel better and yet it wasn't working. I decided to do a 3month detox and it was surprising to see the changes it made in my life. The mental clarity and strength of my confidence and my resolve has changed drastically. Ever thought "how am I going to handle this social situation without alcohol?" Yep that was me. Never could I imagine having enjoying myself and actually dancing on the dance floor before having 5 wines! It's amazing what you can do when you make a commitment and stick to it.

"You're The Average Of The Five People You Spend The Most Time With" - Jim Rohn It is so important to surround yourself with people who lift you up, expect a high standard from you and bring out the best version of yourself. Otherwise, you find yourself accepting less. Less from yourself, less from others and eventually you find yourself unhappy in life, love and career.

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more" - Tony Robbins Monday, November 13th is World Kindness day. Would you consider yourself to be a kind person? Would you consider yourself to be friendly, generous and considerate? On today's episode, we take the opportunity to delve into the benefits of kindness, how we hold ourselves back from giving or being generous, how we can be kind on a daily basis, and to self reflect. Benefits of Kindness research was taken from the site: www.randomactsofkindness.org/the-science-of-kindness Kindness can increase the hormone of love, energy, happiness, your lifespan, pleasure and stimulates the production of serotonin. Kindness also decreases pain, stress, anxiety, depression and blood pressure. Hope you enjoy today's episode!

Do you find yourself judging yourself and other people on a regular basis? Is this a pattern we play or is it just being human? On today's episode, I talk about the effect judging others can have on ourselves and those around us. We talk about what is happening in the brain when we choose to judge others and how we can change our perspective to respect, learn and grow through judging others. Dr Wayne Dyer once said, "Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances." When we judge other people we close the opportunity for awareness and growth, connection and love. How can you look at the Whole person not just the surface value? What can I learn about the person I am judging? What makes them unique and interesting? What is my reaction telling me about myself? Am I noticing this in another person because I notice this within myself?

On today's episode we talk all about Self Love with Kathryn Ottobrino, a Holistic Life Coach, Healer and Speaker.

In today's episode, I had the privilege to interview Kylie Lowe, founder of Joining Hands Australia. I met Kylie in 2016 when I signed up to become a GiveBack Ambassador for Joining Hands to assist in providing wellness services to the homeless and vulnerable of Brisbane. Through these amazing give back days, where I helped provide Haircuts (I am a qualifiaed Hairdresser) to homeless youth, I got to know Kylie and her mission to connect on a deeper level to these vulnerable people. We talk about how she has overcome massive health challenges to be able to know that she is here for a reason and to be a voice to those who are voiceless on the streets of Australia. Kylie started out in 2009 giving wellness clinics to women and children for free and has developed a sustainable business where she invites other passionate business owners to become a part of the social impact she is creating. Kylie says, she started out with a vision and a dream  and with no business knowledge, she surrounded herself with successful people and looked for constant support to be able to make her mission possible. Through creating strong connections with these young people, Kylie understands the importance of creating kind and giving business relationships and how being aware of your inner narrative through mindfulness is a great way to keep you on purpose.
