While money itself is something we exchange for something we want or need, there is so much emotion attached to it.

We are taught from a young age to believe that money is the thing that we all need in order to live a happy life. And, while money does enable a more comfortable life, we aren't...

As humans we learn through stories.  Before pen and paper, or quill and papyrus, we told stories to share important information across generations.  Even now, we are more likely to remember a story which includes some facts, than if the facts were just told to us.

Time is one of those limited resources that we all want more of. Having enough time to do “everything” drives many of us to follow new fads and hacks.

Managing your money as it comes in and goes out can be challenging at the best of times.  It's even more challenging when your income fluctuates and some of your expenses do also (when they are linked to your income).  This is particularly the case if you are employed casually,...

What comes to your mind when you think of being "financially free"?  

It's a term that gets used, but it's unlikely that we really understand.  I know I had no idea until not that long ago!

Have you ever sat back and wondered where time has gone?  It seems to fly, especially after kids, and as I approach my mid-40s, it feels like the last 2 decades have just slipped by.

It makes you think about where you're headed and what it is that you want to still do.  At least, I have...

Travelling is meant to be fun.  It is also expensive and there are lots of things that can go wrong, where the costs go up a lot more than you expect.  I have been travelling my whole life.  My first overseas trip was with my parents when I was 4 years old.  As a grown up, I...

I don’t know about you, but I certainly hadn’t thought that much about the lifestyle I wanted when I was a teenager, or even in my twenties.  My thoughts about the future were mainly things that had been drummed into me from my parents and grandparents – “get good ...

I’m guessing you went into business to do something that you enjoy, or felt strongly enough about to keep at it.  Not to necessarily become a finance person.  However, your finances are key to helping you amplify your impact and reach more customers.  Not to mention fund the...
