In episode 21 on #MerryBiz we talk ACTION. It's 55 minutes of epic inspiration. We KNOW it's what you need to take the leap to make your next step.  We all have big ideas and big plans. The difference between the people who get to realise their dreams and the people who just keep planning is one little word: ACTION. The question we get asked so much about our business is: how do you do it all? How do you get so much done?  And the answer is simple. We take action. We take small step after small step, action after action and it turns into epic results. Either that or we quickly realise our plan was crap and move onto something else where we take small step after small step... action after... ok ok, you get it. We take action. Easier said than done, right? We all get caught up on what tools we're supposed to use, or the design of the logo, or will that product even sell? Ooo we don't know, maybe we should do another survey. All this is great but nothing beats taking action to validate an idea. Nothing beats put

"Everyone has the potential to do something amazing. All it takes is small step after small step. Action after action." We started setting goals for our business in mid 2015. Before that we were all about going with the flow and knowing that the universe had our backs. Which is 100% true! We honestly believe that when you're following your bliss (or passion or purpose), good stuff comes your way. But we have some pretty big visions for our business and as much as the universe is there, we also have to be there for ourselves. As Pablo Picasso said "Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."  Ma

In episode 15 on #MerryBiz we share exactly what we do to get MORE shit done in less time. Cheers to productivity! Take a listen... and for preparation for next episode... be sure to download your goal setting guide HERE! This time last year we would've said that we were the busiest we've ever been. Yep, 12 hour days filled with multi-tasking and running around like headless merrymakers. We had little structure and we worked on a 'do what we feel like' basis. Sounds appealing but... This kind of mindset and work ethic lead to lots of to-dos either forgotten or being done at the very last minute. Hello unnecessary stress! Errr yuck. And stress is not good for us.  Running a business or blog or working a high paced job does NOT have to be this way. It doesn't need to be stressful and doesn't have to cause burnout. You do not need to be the busiest person on the planet.  Fast forward to now and we're ticking off a hell of a lot more goals MINUS the 12 hour days, minus the stress PLUS a whole bunch of fun. Say wh
