When you wake up in the morning, do you sigh at the thought of the things you 'have' to do that day or do you smile at the things you 'get' to do?
How you approach something, how you feel about it and the energy you bring to it will ultimately impact whether you are gritting your teeth or enjoying the experience.
The next time you feel resentful at something you have to do, try reframing it that it is a good thing that get to do, and see if it makes a difference?

It is natural to worry and to feel that you have to compete with other people who work in the same industry, field or job role as you.
But the reality is, there is more than enough business, more than enough clients or customers, and more than enough money around to keep you and your business afloat!
The female entrepreneur world can be pretty bitchy at times, try to steer a path away from all of that ugly behaviour.

Have the best Christmas, my fellow dreamer...
Do you save things for best?
Do you save clothes, candles, notebooks and more for best, and then never actually use them?
I was brought up to save things for best but I have been retraining myself to use everything I've got and to enjoy every moment of it.
If you've bought something sparkly or sequinned this Christmas, make sure you wear it as often as you can and don't 'save' it for next year, for best or for some point in the future.

Do you often get what you want or what you dream of?
If you do, that's because you took some action to make it happen. You got it because you identified and articulated what you wanted and then you made it happen.
Things do not just happen by accident. You will not get what you want if you don't identify it and then do some work to move yourself closer towards it.
If you know that you want something different from your life then you absolutely must join The Dream Life Academy before the doors close on Monday.
If you aren't familiar with the Academy, let me explain.
The Dream Life Academy is THE place for you as you start, and grow, your dream life and business.
It combines the life-changing work of a mindset coaching programme with the support of a gorgeous community group, PLUS access to monthly group coaching calls with me.
This is undoubtedly the most cost effective way to work with me and it means you get access to me on a regular basis.
I am in a community that works like this and I love it.
As I open the doors to The Dream Life Academy tonight, you will be one of the first people to work through the programme in its new form. I've been working hard on it and I can't wait for you to see it and experience it. It's amazing!
So what are you waiting for? Join The Dream Life Academy now by clicking here - and remember, you pay once and you are in it for life.

Today I interview Alison Stankard, aka Totes Inappropres, a blogger, content creator, marathon runner, mother women's health advocate and fashion lover.
I've followed Totes for years and I love the way she writes, she seems to say what I am thinking, and what other people are thinking too, especially about being a mum.
Totes is super honest, super open and I loved hearing about why she started her blog and what she hopes to do with it now. Her story is a reminder that even if you don't necessarily know where your idea will take you, it's absolutely worth giving it a go!

How often does somebody ask you what you do, and your reply is 'I'm just a.....something'.
As women we are very quick to diminish ourselves, our role and our place in the world, by putting the word 'just' in front of our answer.
I don't want you to do that! You are absolutely not just anything. You are amazing, capable, important and you matter.

This week I talk to Nicky Elliott, a podcaster and entrepreneur with a passion for helping women to pursue the career that really lights them up.
Nicky is so honest about her business journey, about not necessarily having a plan, and about adapting and changing as the years go by. I loved our conversation.
As Nicky explains, it’s perfectly OK to have a lightbulb moment which leads to a business, and then it’s ok to separate head and heart in order to let it go.
See what Nicky does here.

The journey that you are on started at a different time, you have different commitments, different experiences, different goals, different energies and more.
Comparing yourself at the start of your journey to somebody who is five years down the line is a sure fire way to despair!

When you want to work for yourself, there will be lots of inner and outer work that you will need to do.
The inner work is so important!
It's the inner work that impacts your confidence, your self-belief, your fears, your dreams and more. It needs focus, attention, reflection and more. The outer work comes about when you have done the inner work.
I believe you need to work on both in order to become the successful entrepreneur you have always wanted to be. I'll explain all in the episode!

Do you procrastinate, hide, choose not to do the doing?

Today I'm celebrating as this is episode 100 of the Your Dream or Mine podcast!
When I first had a dream of creating a podcast I didn't know how to do it, I didn't have any equipment, I couldn't understand the technology and I got pretty frustrated trying to learn it all but underneath all of that I had a burning desire to talk to a wider audience about creating a dream life and business.
I'm so proud of the content I have put out over the last 100 episodes. I get such lovely feedback, and people tell me that they have felt understood, supported and connected to me by listening to the podcast. That's a wonderful feeling!

Strange title, right?

If you look forward twenty years from now, what would you like to be thinking about the you right now? I know you will want to be proud of the woman you were and the woman you became in those subsequent years.

Today I talk to Catherine Davis, designer and owner of Catherine Davis Designs UK, and self proclaimed lover of what she does for a living!
How wonderful to speak to somebody who also loves what they do, is passionate and excited about where her business is going, and who is open to new opportunities and business ideas - hello live wedding painting!
I loved our conversation because Catherine and I share so many of the same views but I particularly loved when she said she had always been taught to 'send a kind word on it's way' - ie. say something nice to somebody to make their day. How wonderful!

- Let me insert the caveat that I didn't actually have a night with RW, but I did attend his concert....
This week I want to talk to you about the Robbie Williams concert I went to the other night and how it got me thinking about how his life and my life have changed over the last decade or so.
He talked about his children, his wife and how settled he is in his life right now and he dedicated his song 'I love my life' to his children. I've been a Robbie fan for years so to see him so happy and content reminded me that that is exactly the point in my life that I'm at too.
You CAN change your life to create one that gives you the freedom, flow, fulfilment and fun you crave.
You CAN shape your life into one that makes you happy.
You CAN have the life you have always dreamed of - what are you waiting for?

Melinda began her career by moving to LA with no job, no money and nowhere to live and after a stint working with some REALLY famous people (Boyz 2 Men anyone??!) she moved back to Raleigh in North Carolina where she set up her successful PR business.
I loved our conversation and hearing about Melinda's personal journey, but the bit I liked most was when she talked about finding your authentic code which you can live your life by. Mine is freedom, flow, fulfilment and fun - what's yours?

Oh and don't forget that the doors to The Dream Life Academy are open until Monday 3rd October so don't miss your opportunity to be one of my founder members!
See you next time my fellow dreamer....
Wow what a week!
I've spent every day this week taking my followers through The Dream Believe Do Challenge and now I am pleased to announce that I have opened the doors to The Dream Life Academy!
For the last two years I have been helping my clients to create the positive and confident mindset they need to start their transition into their own dream life and business.
It’s life changing stuff and I love the nature of one to one coaching and mentoring work.
But I totally understand that that option isn’t accessible to everybody because one to one work naturally carries a higher fee.
So I started exploring how I could help more people to pursue their dream life on a group basis and decided to create The Dream Life Academy.
I’m so excited about it!
Imagine joining a group where you get this:
- A six week mindset coaching programme delivered live
- Membership of a wonderfully supportive closed Facebook community
- Monthly coaching calls in the group for you to seek support and guidance
- Evergreen access to the group and programme – that means you pay once but you can stay for as long as you like
- The opportunity to connect with like-minded women who are on the same journey as you therefore understand how you feel
- The security of being in a group which will grow with you
- All the mindset help you need to get you moving towards your dream life and business
Why choose a group over one to one coaching? I'm going to level with you. My one to one coaching package, The Transformation, is a £2497 investment. If you'd like to work with me on a one to one basis then I'd love to have a chat with you about it.
But if you need support now to get your dreams out of the starting blocks then join The Dream Life Academy. Sign up now for the founder member price of £333. It will be the best investment you make this year!
Come join me! Sign up here....
I'm super excited to tell you all about The Dream Believe Do Challenge that kicks off tomorrow, Monday 26th September!
If you feel ready to make a change in your life but you need some help with your confidence your self-belief and your mindset then you must join me.
Over four days I will take you on a mindset journey so that by the time you get to the end of the week you will be ready to get started with your dream life.
It's free to take part and there are prizes to be won!
Sign up to The Dream Believe Do Challenge here - see you tomorrow...
Do you dream of working for yourself but you are too scared to jump?
I was too!
The answer lies in the transition rather than the jump.
Working on your mindset will allow you to make a smoother, more confident and more successful transition than jumping straight in and falling into a negative and anxious mindset.
My work is all about helping my clients to create the right mindset for the transition, and in this episode I explain what that means and what that looks like.

My guest today is the ray of sunshine that is Chloe Peters who runs the brilliantly named Jam on Toast Marketing.
Chloe and I met at the beginning of this year when we both completed an entrepreneurial course with Cranfield University. It was definitely serendipity that brought us together as we live in the same area, have lots of mutual friends and have the same approach to life.
Listen to Chloe explain why she called her business such a brilliant name, how she came to work in the niche she works in and how she became the driving force behind so many events in Leighton Buzzard.
Do check her out on social media and if you are in the Leighton Buzzard area get yourself to one of her networking events - The Bees Knees Business Club CIC.

Permission is a funny old word, right?
It's often used when we are children but it carries into adulthood too - you need permission to take holiday from work, leave early etc. I didn't want to ask permission from anyone any more which is why I work for myself.
But permission is also about just you - do you give yourself permission to pursue your dreams? To create a life that will make you truly happy? To be self focused?
If you don't you really should!
Give yourself permission to take 23 minutes for yourself to listen to this episode. When you've finished, if you want to find out more about working with me then come and find me on Instagram.

If you haven't come across Sophia Hilton yet you absolutely need to listen to this episode!
Sophia is the owner of the Not Another brand which includes a hugely successful hair salon in London's Brick Lane, and an academy which provides education and training for the hair industry and more alongside Sophia delivering key note talks around the world.
All of that in seven years!
Sophia's energy and drive to succeed is truly inspirational but what I loved the most about our conversation was her honesty about how she wants different things from her life now that her business is established, how the hustle had to slow down and be replaced with true balance.
Oh and listen out for the emotional moment when we talked about Sophia's amazing mum and her absolute faith in what Sophia could achieve. Mum's are the best.

How good are you at making decisions?
How confident are you at considering different options and then actually making a choice?
Are you scared? Do you stay stuck in indecision?
If you want to work for yourself you need to get comfortable with making your own decisions and standing by them, regardless of the outcome.
Sometimes what you decided to do may not have been the right choice but regardless of the result, actually making a decision shows true progress and confidence.

If you are thinking about stepping into your own business, have you held yourself back because there are lots of other people doing the same thing as you?
So lots of hairdressers, PTs, dog walkers, coaches etc?
So you tell yourself that your business won't work because there are so many people doing it already?
If that thought has crossed your mind then this is the episode for you!
There is only one you, and in this episode I'll explain why that's important.

In this episode I talk to Sami Reed-Cleaver who has the most gorgeous Welsh accent but now lives in Thailand.
Listen to Sami explain why she felt drawn to move to Thailand even though she had never been there before and against what her family thought of the move!
Sami has created a life that gives her the freedom to travel, to live where she chooses, to work when it suits and to be truly at peace. Sami believes that time is our most precious asset and as such we should use that time in the best way we can.
You can find Sami on Instagram.

When is the right time to make a change in your life?
When is the right time to start your own business?
The answer is - now is the right time!
If you are waiting to be in the right frame of mind, the right age, the right headspace, the right weight, in the right house, the right economic climate, have the right amount of money etc.....I'm here to tell you that all of those reasons are excuses and you are using them to keep yourself stuck.
You might read this and say 'well Laura that's easy for you to say' but I do speak from experience as I left my corporate role as the pandemic first landed. You might argue that was not the right time...but how would I know any different?
The fact is, I made the decision to start out on my own and I committed to the journey - and I am so glad that I did! The rest, as the cliche goes, is history.

The Jaded dreamer
The Tomorrow dreamer
The Closed dreamer
The Action dreamer
Take the quiz and let me know which dreamer you are by posting the result on Instagram and tagging me in - here's the link!

This week (OK it was ages ago that I recorded this but it's out this week) I talk to Jasmine Wythe of Fold Me Close pizza, a gorgeous, artisan style pizza business, all delivered out of a vintage blue van called Pam.
Jas joined one of my confidence workshops last summer when she was trying to decide whether to leave her corporate role and join her partner Pete in the business he had created during lockdown.
After the workshop she went away with a fire in her belly and not long after was working full time in the business, enabling it to grow even more quickly than it had before.
Our conversation was really powerful, not least because Jas reiterates that you don't have to be good at all of the things, and you certainly don't have to be an expert at everything to get started. You'll learn along the way, plus you will find great people to help you.

This week I interview Tamsin Williamson, aka The Parenthood Coach, who helps mums to combine parenthood with running their own business and to actually enjoy it!
Like many female entrepreneurs, Tamsin returned to work after having a baby and soon realised that the corporate world didn't really work for her any more.
She did some work with a coach, loved it, decided to get curious about the concept of coaching, ended up setting up her own business - and has never looked back.
I loved our conversation as it made me think about my own experience as a mum to small children, when I had no idea that you could work for yourself and earn the money you need to support your family. I was still so wedded to the idea of traditional employment - how I wish I had met Tamsin back then!

There is always more.....of everything!
Do you believe me?
It's true!
There is always more. More money. More time (used in the right way). More energy. More enthusiasm. More clients. More sales. More opportunity. More people. More calories. More sales. More of everything.
I'll tell you what there isn't more of - and that's you.
You are unique. You are amazing. You are brilliant.
There is only one of you and you owe it to yourself to put yourself out into the world.

I recorded this episode such a long time ago but as I edited it today I had a huge smile on my face as I listened to Ali. She's bloody brilliant.
I met Ali when she became my therapist.
Yes I had a therapist.
No I'm not ashamed of it.
Yes she was and is amazing.
Ali helped me to pull myself out of a very dark hole and I will always be grateful to her for that.
Ali is straight talking, funny, direct and honest about her own life, her business journey and how she helps her clients - I love her approach.

I'm just back from a strategy overnighter in Margate with my business bestie Zoe Holland of Zing Learning and I am feeling so focused, so energised and so excited about all that is coming in the next year for both myself and my business.
We did a lot of talking, a lot of laughing, a lot of drinking (oops) but also a lot of planning and strategising. It was just what I needed as I come out of my covid fug.
We recorded a podcast episode while we were there to explain why it is so important to find a business bestie. Somebody who understands you, your business, can empathise with the struggle but who can also celebrate your successes.
I feel so fortunate to have a number of business besties but not all live in the UK so to have Zoe nearly on the doorstep and to be able to hang out IN REAL LIFE was a dream.

Prior to that she had not found her purpose in life, and the course for her was about learning, fun, purpose and connection.

Hello my fellow dreamer!
This week you can listen to a very nasal me talking about how Covid has hit me hard. If you've had it I feel your pain. If you haven't had it I really hope you don't get it!
Working for myself gave me the freedom to be poorly with no guilt, no worry and no expectation. When you work for somebody else it is often the guilt that makes us return to work before we are fully recovered or ready.
So if you'd like to talk to me about how you can create the freedom to live your life on your terms then drop me a line!
Have a look at the YouTube video of last weeks episode with Lisa Johnson too, it's a cracker. Click here to watch it.

In this episode I interview the fabulous Lisa Johnson, THE passive income strategist, creator of the hugely successful One to Many ® programme and the host of the Making Money Online podcast.
Sometimes when you hear people talk about what they do you can feel a bit 'yeah yeah' and wonder if what they are saying is true. Having worked with Lisa on two of her programmes, been part of her membership and having met her in real life I can tell you she is absolutely the genuine article.
In this episode we talk about the myth of having to work hard for your money, the juggle of children and business, the huge and swift growth of her business and how she mixes Primark with Gucci.
I loved our conversation and I know you will too - remember, success and making lots of money is definitely not out of reach!
You can find Lisa on Instagram and on her website, plus listen to her podcast here.

Have you got an inner voice? Is it a nice one? Does it treat you well?
Often, our inner voice is the thing that keeps us stuck, keeps us playing small, is the thing which stops us from making the changes we want to make.
Our inner voice can stop us from pursuing our dreams!
In this episode I talk to you about how you can get your inner voice to work with you not against you.

Have you reached your potential?
Have you grown and developed to the highest level of your potential? Of your talents? Of your skills?
Reaching your potential can sound very business like and quite formal but in this episode I explore how you can re-frame what that phrase means and own it on your own terms.
You get to decide what your potential is, what the rules are, what the measure is and how far you want to go. And you know what? The more you push yourself to achieve your potential, the more potential opens up before you.
You are amazing and you can achieve anything!

I'm just going to put this out there, I LOVED recording this episode!
Today I talk to Griselda Soames of the gorgeous Enchanting Bakes - a marketing agency using the medium of biscuits.
We discuss wanting different things from your life as you get older, what your own personal currency of success is and how when you work for yourself you have the luxury of learning as you go.
Griselda's enthusiasm for life, for biscuits and for her business is infectious - we didn't stop talking for nearly two hours with a recording squeezed into the middle!
See some of Griselda's gorgeous biscuits here and on her website.
After we recorded our conversation she sent me some of my own gorgeous biscuits - see them here. I can vouch for them tasting as delicious as they look!

Life is a bit of a rollercoaster at times, and we can find ourselves getting bogged down by things that we ultimately cannot change.
In this episode I talk about the importance of making the distinction between things we can and can't change, but also to try not to fear what 'might' happen, because none of us can see into the future.
You will never transition into your dream life if you let all those what ifs hold you back.
So listen to me encourage you to push past those things and stay focused on your mission.

Hello!
In this week's episode I interview marketing mentor and coach Claire Black, who helps women who offer services that improve clients wellbeing or mindset to get better at marketing.
What does that mean?
Well it means that when you work for yourself you can't ask the marketing department to do something for you, so you need to learn how to do it yourself....until you are big enough to outsource it.
Claire has a great way of breaking marketing down into simple, easy to understand steps.
She has shaped her business and her life the way she wants it - listen and be inspired about how you could do the same.
You can find Claire on Facebook and on her website.

Do you know where you're going?
Do you know what you want from your life for the rest of this year? In 2022? Beyond?
It is such a powerful exercise to sit down and think about what you want from your life - what you want more of, what you want less of, why you want those things and how you can make them happen.
Even if you aren't sure what your overall goal is, having smaller, achievable goals and aspirations will help keep you focused and on track to being happier, more fulfilled, more challenged etc.
I would love to help you get super clear on your direction, it's something I am so passionate about.

Wow!
I recorded this weeks episode from the beautiful space at the bottom of my garden which is my gorgeous new home office.
I dreamed of having my own space.
I wanted to be able to walk down the garden with a cup of tea.
I yearned to be surrounded by beautiful furniture and home accessories which were chosen just by me.
I wanted the space to be able to think, to plan, to record and also of course to see clients - face to face. Can you imagine that? Actually seeing REAL PEOPLE after all this time of being closed off to others.
I am full of joy for the space that we have created for me to work in. I used my DREAM method to help me focus, connect and plan how to make it become a reality.
I can help you to do the same with your dreams!
Check out the webinar I recorded about being a Confident Dreamer here, then drop me a line and let's talk about how I can help you make your dreams a reality.

This podcast will explore how others - and me of course - have identified and achieved their dreams, and what impact that has had on their lives.
You will be inspired, motivated and energised by listening to the stories of those who have dared to dream, and who have got out there and achieved them.
