A new season is kicking right off and you are all part of this.
What does wanting more mean to you?
Perception is really important to be aware of here because 99% of people would associate you wanting more to mean personal financial gain, when this is not always the case.
Personal development is for you to understand yourself and what is important to you, what more do you want to achieve and what do you want to do with your achievements?
Personal perception and interpretation is a very personal factor in your striving for difference, growth, improvement and success.
Are you leaving your personal development as a last resort?
I totally get it .... I did the same when it came to serious personal development!
You thrash out every business concept and external strategy available and then still wonder where the results are going to land for you.
The trouble is so many people don't tend to look inwards at themselves and how they can improve any business by being self aware and aligned to themselves and the business.
Listen in for more details and real experience....
Are you even aware of social conditioning, what it is and where it comes from? How about then how it affects you and limits your thoughts and restricts you from taking action on your potential.
How about your own internal conditioning, whereby you create your own 'norms' that then keep you still instead of propelling you forward?
Tune in to this episode and hear more on this subject.
Struggle is inevitable when you are doing things that challenge you in life and in business. Things happen, life happens, curve balls come your way.
I share in this episode how you can understand your struggle and what you need to focus on to come out of the other end.
You are not alone, everyone struggles at some point with something!
Are you basing your goals and your actions towards 'success' on someone else's definition or your own?
Success is very elusive and therefore needs to be understood internally so you as an individual know exactly what you are striving for. Once you know this we can determine how to get you there.
Listen in to this episode as I share several definitions and interpretations of the term.
You then too can determine your own so that your daily tasks are reflective of working towards this.
If you don't value yourself, how can others value you?
#youfirst is a totally selfish ethos but 100% required for any level of respectable self worth in life.
Start with yourself, building yourself through creating value around your healthy body and mind and then begin understanding what it is that is important to you.
Understand why this is important for you, how it protects you and how you can build and create self belief and self worth from sticking to a process.
Is it possible to continue if you are not seeing the results that you want?
There is always an option to stick or twist but can you honestly say that you are being 100% committed to the process and applying yourself how you should be in order to warrant the results?
Don't forget the results don't show up just because you want them to or expect them to.
A great reminder of the process for anyone feeling disheartened or challenged.
What is your definition and understanding of Motivation and Discipline?
How are you relying on either one for you to take action each day?
Listen in to hear how HEW identifies the differences between them and what it is you need to be aware of, and quite possibly expose where you have been putting the emphasis on which isn't necessarily constructive to moving you forwards and getting you the results you desire.
How many times do you allow your thought process to commandeer what you do or don't do.

You cannot give what you haven't got.
HEW works with the ethos that everything you desire is within you and therefore to achieve any of this, you must learn and accept the need for you to be selfish. Working on you first before anything else. A simple yet powerful concept.
It doesn't mean you turn your back on everything and everyone else, just temporarily channel your energy, time, effort and finance into #youfirst for the long term gain.
In which time what and who you may have given too much to, may not belong in your life anymore by being consciously unaligned to who you are and what is important to you.
We often hear of the benefits of exercise but what really are the impacts of not.
Helen shares her experience of being out of action and how this has affect not only physically but emotionally and mentally too.
Forget any other medicine, for genuine #healthfirst exercise is needed even in a small dose every single day.
Never underestimate the power of physical activity for not only your body but your brain function, happiness and general zest for life.

#Healthfirst everytime. This cannot keep being taken for granted. Your health dictates everything.
Become your Centre of Excellence by adopting the technique of Opposition Thinking.
You only can control yourself so therefore why not work on improving your actions and reactions to different scenarios and people in order to get the best possible result?
Useful strategies helping you win in life and business.
How do other peoples opinions affect you and your progress?
Are you even aware of how they can stop you by infecting you with doubt, or do you take it all on board, the good, the bad and the ugly as rocket fuel to propel you forward?
One thing is certain, people will always form an opinion and some voice this to you. How it impacts you is all on you regardless whether the opinion is positive or negative.
The strength to continue regardless of influence from others comes down to you and your inner trust of who you are and what it is you are doing.
Listen in now all of you tall poppys!!!!
There is a reason that you flit from one thing to another without ever seeing anything through. Well there are several reasons but the main one being you don't trust the process and ultimately don't trust yourself.
Seeking the shiny penny and keep signing up to new business ideas and concepts isn't the answer. Working your way through a proactive process based on application and 'doing' is. Starting off with your health first. The first pillar of HEW. build strong foundations and gain trust in the process and yourself that you can commit to something, apply yourself and create momentum from this.
Experience the positive knock on effect that your own actions will provide. An external shiny penny and constant commitment issues will not provide you with the results you are seeking.
As always there is practical value in this episode where you can listen, learn and apply to your own goals and situation.
How many times during a day or a week do you change your identity, how you act, speak and how this all has a domino effect on your overall energy and physiology?? Or are you even aware that you do this?

It is at this point, and only then can you proceed with genuine confidence in your business ventures and outlooks.
Staying focused and staying motivated so that you are aligned with your goals at all time isn't easy.
I break the question of 'how' down in this episode considering how you set your goals in the first place, what meaning do your goals have to you, how do you stay motivated when motivation is short lived, what awareness do you need of yourself and then finally how to prioritise what you need to do.
Useful tips and areas to self-check on so that you don't fall down some of the common pitfalls when chasing change, progress and success.
Are you fearful of holding back on working on yourself because of judgements from others that you will be being selfish and become egotistical?
There are so many factors that can hold you back but lets put this one to bed in this episode... You have to be selfish and egotistical to progress forward seriously. That is an occupational hazard of your personal development decision. However, Helen does provide a couple of valuable tips into how to manage this and get around it so that you aren't neglecting the people who mean the most to you.
Commitment...argh its that scary word that means no way of getting out of something.
In life and business commitment is what its all about, to make something happen and see it through until its achieved.
This episode gets you to think about how serious you are, how committed you are and whether you are prepared to stick in with the long game for what it is you want to achieve.... and be there right until the very end?!

Has the Christmas hungover begun already after a few days of over indulgence. Being self aware of how your actions, behaviours and thoughts affect you is going to be key for your success in the New Year. This time of the year magnifies this need as emotions of guilt and overwhelm start to drive home after the initial excitement and indulgence of the festivities.
There is no right or wrong in whether you go all in on your time off and challenge yourself to eating as much as you humanly can or whether you attempt at some form of balanced activity.
Listen in to hear my thoughts .... Eat, Drink, Be Merry and .... Be Ready!
A short and snappy episode that you can listen to and action over the crazy busy-ness of the festive period. Make sure you are asking yourself the valuable questions that will be constructive for you to embark upon a fresh new year of 2019. You can't move forward however, without acknowledging and reflecting on what you have achieved this year and what you have fallen short on.
Enjoy the task and use the actionable steps to move you forward in the right way.
Merry Christmas. Take some time to relax and reflect - truthfully!
Have you ever considered what it would mean to you to actually just be yourself?
You hold yourself back through the lifetime fear of judgement.
I totally get it, I did the same. But now I am giving you the permission to be yourselves and really learn about who you are and how you can benefit from knowing this and living this way every day.
The benefits you will experience of just being you in the form of genuine happiness, a release of ego and pressure, better and more fulfilled relationships and not to mention the business benefits and profitability.
If you give yourself any present this Christmas make sure its the acceptance and permission of just being you.
