I want to start by addressing one of the biggest myths in modern society; the myth of talent and intelligence being a fixed trait we are born with and IQ being a valid measurement of intelligence.
Alfred Binet, the inventor of the IQ test, even said that the IQ test is only a measure of someones current status and it’s not an indication of their future potential. Future potential is an…

The school holidays are upon us. Six whole weeks of summer fun. As a mumpreneur, isn’t it great to have complete flexibility over your school holidays?
No more haggling with childless colleagues to swap holiday dates. No more pleading with the boss to give you time off during “his busiest time of the year”.
So ladies, do you feel ready for the holidays?
Or are you ringing your…
Something interesting has happened in recent years.
People are beginning to realise that the best way to solve a problem is not by by treating it but by preventing it. Prevention is better than cure. Why wait until things have already gone wrong?
This is why companies create strategic plans years in advance. They don’t wait for things to go wrong and then try to fix it. Instead, they put in…
Fancy spending time afloat this summer? Thought so. Your timing is spot-on. Sales of super-yachts to British buyers have jumped this year, and demand for chartering boats in the South of France and Caribbean is also booming. A week might cost you GBP 250,000 for a top-of-the-range craft sleeping 12, but you are guaranteed to be rubbing shoulders with celebrity aficionados like Lewis Hamilton and…
Have you always wanted to join the thousands of mum and dadpreneurs who have a home based business?
If you have, but have held back because you’re not sure what type of business to go for, it certainly is wise to take your time over making that decision. After all, you’ll want a business that you will enjoy, will fit around the family, and of course one that pays.
But how can you…
France is the world’s most visited country; its capital a tourist magnet. How is a truly Parisian experience possible at the height of the holiday season?
Try the Canal St Martin, which bisects the 10th and 19th arrondissements in north-east Paris. It is a part of the city overlooked by mainstream visitors, and by other Parisians, lending it a raffish, slightly undeveloped air. Still very…
Our current educational system is an outdated model based on a ‘one size fits all’ method that doesn’t factor in individual and emotional growth or development.
We currently live in a world that is changing faster than ever before in history. No one can predict what the world or the job market will look like in 5 years. Companies are changing , job descriptions are being amended and…

I reconnected with a primary school friend last week and as we chatted about children, husbands, our professions and homes, she let me know that she recently had an awful building experience with a disingenuous company. From delays to pressure for payment, the experience with these rogue traders sounded awful; not to mention at the end of it all she was missing tens of thousands of pounds… and…
