 When The Going Gets Tough, How Do You Get Going? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 12:28

Are you having a tough time? Everything seems like hard work? Nothing going right? What do you do to turn things around? It' a situation that a lot of people can relate to. External circumstances can really take their toll. It might feel like the world is against you sometimes, so how do you pull yourself out of this vicious circle? A lot of it relates to being more conscious of what options are available to you. It's more likely that changing your own perception will have a more dramatic impact that anything else you could do. We aren't suggesting that you need to be all "Happy Clappy" but going in with a more neutral or just a less emotional point of view, then you're going to become the voice of reason. Whilst everyone else around you seems to be losing their heads! Listen to the podcast to find out more on how to manage, when the going gets tough.

 Productivity and the Importance of Focus | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:46

Do you know what it takes for you to be really focused on what matters? Do you know what makes the difference between your 'good' days and 'scattered' or 'overwhelmed' or 'totally unproductive' days? If you don't know this already, you are missing a massive trick to getting things done. In this podcast, Chris and Paul discuss why focus is critical but increasingly difficult to maintain. According to The Energy Project - an organisation that helps individuals, leaders and team to sustain high performance - the greatest drain on our energy in the modern workplace is our mental energy. This is our ability to remain focused on the task at hand while not giving in to instant gratification of switching tasks, checking emails or being drawn into an unnecessary conversation. [Note: you can check how you do against the global average by taking The Energy Audit right now. It's free and only takes a few minutes.] By surrounding yourself with the right environment, tools and mindset to start the day, you can easily feel significant improvement in your focus, productivity and daily fulfillment. Paul and Chris give practical tips and tools to help you do this more consistently. Let us know what you do to get, and stay, focused. Leave us a comment below or post on our Facebook page. We'd love to hear from you.

 Up Your Average | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 13:18

How do you tell when it's time to up your average? Paul and Chris discuss how often their clients talk to them about increasing their social circle. They feel stagnant and want to get more out of life but feel limited by either the small number of friends that they have, or that the people they do hang around with don't seem to motivate them to try anything new. It's just the same old thing day in and day out. Whether you want to improve your salary, your quality of life, fitness or whatever it is. Have a look around you at the 5 people you spend the most time with, would you say you are the average of that group? Chances are that it is the case. We're not suggesting that you should dumb your entire circle of friends and just start a fresh. But more like replacing the lowest "common denominator" to increase your own average. Maybe it's just the motivation you need, to hang out with people who are more likely to challenge you. Listen to the podcast to find out how tell if you need  to up your own average and how to take the simple steps to do it.  

 Change the Rules | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 14:25

Do you ever find yourself wishing you could do things but they just seem so far our of your reach they are even worth trying? Paul and Gina talk about taking some advice from Tim Ferris to "Change the Rules" When Paul decided he wanted to write a book so time ago, he struggled with the dread of having to start such a mammoth task from scratch. But after going to see Tim Ferris speak in London, Paul decides to change his on rules in what it takes to create a book. Looking back over the years Paul has written many blog posts and has decided to use these as a foundation for his book. To get things going Paul is using the Scrivener app to collect all the parts of his book and turn it into something that works. You can have a look and download the program for windows or Mac's from their website:- Scrivener from Literature and Latte What have you been putting off, that you felt was simply unachievable?

 Remember your dreams! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 12:51

It's all too easy to cast aside those amazing dreams you had as a child. Dreams and ideas of what you'd love to achieve, where you'd love to go, the kind of work you'd love to do – when you grew up. Everything seemed exciting and full of promise back then. We were looking at the world through eyes of innocence. At least during the Seventies! Granted, you might not actually want to be an astronaut in later life, but there are many things we park, as we get embroiled in marriages, mortgages, kids and just surviving. In today's podcast, Paul and Gina discuss ways in which you can re-connect to your lost and abandoned dreams. And begin manifesting them in your life today. There's nothing more exciting than ticking off a 'to create' list and realising that you have, in fact made your dreams come true. Check out the fab movie 'Bucket List' for more inspiration!
