I’ve learned some of the biggest lessons of my life in the years since I decided to leave the corporate world back in 2010.

And one of the biggest of those lessons was about the importance of ‘stuff’.

Let me tell you more…

The 2016 Rio Olympics are on right now – and I cannot fail to be inspired by the thousands of young men and women who are out there competing.

And it’s an inspiration we can bring into our everyday lives.

Let’s do it!

It’s a commemorative edition and I’m in festive mood!

Not just because of the Perseid meteor shower due tonight; neither is it because this is the 50th episode.

No – today, 12th August 2016, is a very special anniversary!

When you’re deciding what you’re going to do with your life, make sure you think long and hard about the goals you set for yourself – and what’s influencing your decision.

Don’t go after someone else’s dreams!

Fear can hold you back from living your life on purpose – I know, I allowed it to happen for over 30 years.

But, once you look closely at what you’re really scared of, that fear just melts away.

One of the scariest things about stepping out, away from the corporate world is that you suddenly become responsible for everything.

It’s also the coolest thing, too – because it gives you no other option than to grow and become a better, stronger version of you.

Sooner or later, we all come to realise significance is the most important thing.

If we want to be remembered when we’re gone, we must first gain significance – and we do that by getting our message out there.

It’s easy to miss out on the important things in life, simply by not being fully present in the moment.

This simple switch can prevent a lifetime of regret.

OK – I go around the houses a little on this one.

Along the way, I:

pick up on the upcoming Rio Olympics,

hand out some tough love,

and tell you the simple trick that helped me quit smoking more than 30 years ago.

Sometimes, it’s easy to forget why you made a particular decision several years ago.

Today, I was handed a big reminder of why the decision I took back in 2010 to get out of corporate life was one of my best!
