Do you ever catch yourself waiting for life to get better before you let yourself feel happy? I know I do. So this month I'm running a little experiment... Can I get better at being in a good mood—for no reason? Not because life is perfect. Not because everything goes my way. Simply because I think it's a skill worth practising. I made this short two-minute video to explain the approach I've been testing, and so far it's making a bigger difference than I expected. Here's my C.H.O.O.S.E. framework: ✅ C — Create reliable joy sparks. Small, free moments of joy: your first sip of coffee, cat (or dog, or human!) cuddles, a few quiet pages before bed. ✅ H — Happy place. Mine's the river near home—it's calm, grounding and ever-changing. This is actually #1 in my strategy, so I recommend you find your happy place too, and visit it often. ✅ O — Ongoing amping up the good. Train your mind to notice what is working. It's not ignorance—it's intentional optimism. ✅ O — Ongoing amping down the bad. Acknowledge the negative, learn, then move on. ✅ S — Smile reframe. When frustration hits (often with things beyond my control—like other people's words and actions), I've started smiling instead. It softens everything and helps me let go. It may sound silly, however it's been super effective so far and is #2 in my C.H.O.O.S.E. strategy. ✅ E — Expect the positive. My dear mum's cat, Sir Thomas, always did—and people met him with love. Expect the best, and you'll often get it. 💚 I'd love to hear from you... Which of these six strategies resonates most right now?

One of the most important things I've learned since becoming an online entrepreneur is that the most important thing you can do to grow your business is to build relationships. Many of us (myself included) have rushed to promote our groups and services that we care so deeply about. And it only makes sense - we are excited about what we are doing! Today, I'd like to invite you to take a step back and introduce yourself to the group by answering the following questions: 1. Who are you personally? 2. Who are you professionally? 3. What is something you love doing outside of work? 4. What is something surprising about you? As you open up and make more connections, you will find that not only are people more interested in what you do, but they will also be more interested in helping you make connections with other people they know! 😉 After you introduce yourself, please scroll through the other introductions and add a comment to someone you have something in common with or would like to know more about. 😊 Please add your introduction in the comments below! ⬇️

Too many ideas and no idea which one to do first? I built an AI Growth Partner that turns everything swirling around in your head into a 90-day plan, then breaks it into weekly plans that tell you exactly where to start. It also learns your strengths, constraints, and processes over time so that it can guide you as a genuine partner. It sees what you miss and pushes back when you get stuck in your comfort zone. Then you join our weekly Growth Sprint and we progress together. 10 minutes a week, a partner that learns how you work, and a community keeping you on track. It's free inside of SkoolHers!
