    Introduction

    When I was twenty, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life.

    I was still confused at thirty. Mostly, I made choices that were about pleasing other people and looking good to the outside world. It wasn’t until my passionate and independent grandmother died in my mid-thirties that it suddenly dawned on me: life is short and I should do what matters to me most. I threw in my marketing degree and started my own business.

    I wanted to spend my days helping people, but I didn’t know if I could build a business from the ground up—believing in myself came later.

    Within this book, you’ll find a collection of the things that helped me most. There are tips and exercises to develop your self-belief, and ideas about how to connect with the creative, inspired version of yourself so that you feel ready to start doing the things you love.

    Read the book from cover to cover or flick through it at random. You might find just what you need. Carry it around with you for a month and dip in and out of it when you need a reminder that it’s really not that hard to do things differently.

    You just need to make a start—like I did. It was the best decision I ever made.

    1. How happy are you?

    Are you happy with your life?

    Answer yes or no to the following questions, then add up how many statements apply to you to see how satisfied you are with the life you are currently living.

    I know my strengths and natural talents and how I can use them.

    I have a bigger picture purpose in life and know how I will achieve this.

    I value creativity and make time to pursue creative interests (even though I may not be a musician or an artist).

    I have a clear picture of three important things I would like to achieve in the next twelve months, and I know how I will reach these goals.

    I have defined my own version of success.

    I know how to keep myself motivated with regard to achieving my goals.

    I feel a sense of control over my finances and financial plans.

    I love my work and feel that what I do is aligned with my values.

    I feel free to communicate in an open and honest way in all of my important relationships.

    Others find me inspiring and positive because of the way I live my life.

    I know how to say no when I need to.

    I make time on a regular basis for my personal development.

    I have a supportive network of friends who encourage me to live in accordance with my values.

    I feel confident to be myself.

    I know how I self-sabotage and I make a conscious effort to overcome those habits.

    I have at least one interest or hobby of my own.

    I eat a healthy diet, manage alcohol and coffee intake, and exercise at least three times per week.

    I make time to do something indulgent or relaxing for myself every week.

    I take annual vacations and really unwind.

    I feel calm and in control most of the time.
