Motivational Monday

Motivational Monday!

I woke up to Motivational Monday on 103.2 Dublin City FM 'I am what I am' helping me to raise myself from my warm & cosy bed. After another gloriously sunny weekend I woke up to grey skies and a cold wind this morning. Better for getting some real work done I guess!

I'm reading a rather wonderful book at the moment,'Your Best Year Yet' by Jinny Ditzzler. The idea behind it is to come up with 10 goals for the year ahead, but to arrive at that point, you first need to assess the previous years achievements, disappointments and lessons. Just going through the process is fascinating and forcing me to take a good hard look at the way I operate, the things I should be proud of, the small changes I can make so that I actually achieve those goals! I'm only half way through the book and already I am excited about the coming year. It's quite apt really, given that it's my birthday on Wednesday...the new year can start then!

This morning I am also re0rdering my free business cards...the first batch I had done were wonderful, but of course I spotted several things I wanted to change as soon as they arrived! It's really exciting to be embarking on this journey, but I know in my heart & soul that I need to put in a huge amount of planning before anything real actually happens. A good friend of mine said to me some time ago that the amount of planning needed to set up your own business is akin to that needed to murder someone. Interesting guy...and at the time I thought he was a bit mad & scary, but I see now how true it is.

Getting back to food; I have a rather fabulous carrot cake recipe, which I made at the weekend to share...I'll post it up seperately. It even satisfied the sugar fiends in my house and was completely sugar free!
