Life has become more and more complex.  Whether it's technology and how "connected" we all are, or how much choice we have (have you been to the milk aisle of the supermarket lately?), there is so much around us.

I remember as a kid when my parents would come home from work and we would all sit dow...

When I first met Maree Kirkpatrick, I could tell this was a person who was passionate about what she does.  She is passionate about helping businesses learn how to sell. 

This may seem like a strange thing to be passionate about, but what is behind this is helping a business make more money through...

In some way shape or form, we have all experienced the care of a mother - whether it's our own or someone else's (including a grandmother).  There is something special about that caring energy, and Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to recognise not just mothers, but caring, kind energy in gene...

There is nothing like the smell and taste of freshly baked bread out of your oven!

I've been on a journey with bread making for a while, and started making my own spelt sourdough bread nearly a year ago.  Because spelt flour behaves differently to high-protein flours (like wheat), I had to keep try...

Is your business turning a profit, but your bank account is not reflecting this with the amount of cash you are expecting to see?

This is a very common issue for small business owners.  Managing cashflow is not something that we are taught - either in our personal life or our business life.

Often ...

What does it mean to live an intentional life, and how does money factor into this?

Well, I'm glad you asked.  Being intentional means being present, deliberate and conscious in the choices we make and how our life actually is.

I don't know about you, but I had no idea what this meant until not th...

When we see little kids play, they are having fun.  My daughter will prioritise fun over everything else (and I mean everything - even eating and sleeping!).

Somehow, as we grow up, "adulting" kicks in, and the time we have for fun decreases dramatically.  So, when we do get to have fun, we really ...

Travel is fun.  Budgeting is not.  So, why am I writing a blog post about travel budgeting, and when my last travel budget got blown?

Well, because I think it's amusing to share, and it might help others if they encounter a similar situation.

Each year my mother, daughter and I go on a "girl's tri...

What images and feelings do you have when you think about the word and the concept of budgeting?

I'm guessing you probably started to glaze over and think about what part of your house needs dusting next :-)

The thing is, budgeting becomes unavoidable, especially as a business owner.  Not just tha...

Our relationship with money is a journey, rather than a destination.  We are constantly learning, growing and evolving as humans.  Just like the relationship we have with ourselves and those around us, they aren't static.

Growing up, I didn't really think too much about money, except that I remembe...

Manifestation and Money Strategy might seem like a odd combination, but in order to make anything real (which is what manifestation essentially is), you first need to be super clear.

Strategy gives you direction and is a way to condense your "wish list" into a structure that you can make plans and ...

Paying off debt as quickly as possible is something many of us aspire to.  It does depend on the debt, so this more applies to debt that is incurred for "things" that don't earn you income or provide a capital return when the price/value goes up.

The "Snowball Your Debts" approach can work one of t...
