47 - The 4-AM Club

Do you struggle to 'find the time' to do the things you want to do, or is it purely an excuse to not do the things you think you should be doing..

If you are continuously saying I should be doing this or I should do that then the thing you're saying you should be doing isn't high enough up on your values...in this episode, I'm going to introduce you to the 4 am club, the idea of this club is to get the things done you need to get done first thing in the morning when you are most energised, you'll be surprised at what can be achieved in that first hour or 2 without any distractions.

This power hour or in my case 2 is going to have a huge impact on your personal development. if you why is strong enough and powerful enough you easily be able to get up out of bed in the mornings and work on the things you want to work on, ideally something that will move you closer and closer to your long term goal.. 


if you are interested in joining our 4-AM club send a message to either Lucas @ practical life coaching or C_prickett94 on Instagram

44- Are we heading for a market crash?

With all the opportunities in the markets and watching them over the next few months what will you be doing selling or buying??

I'm predicting a big drop in the market within twelve months...the recent drop and recovery was to quick.

Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when ithers ate fearful...

With everyone's talking about the stock market cashing out and selling I shall be looking at buying more and more, best thing about a drop-in stock market is you get more bang for your single..

33 - Increase your productivity, spend less time consuming

So how much time do you spend consuming on social media, especially Facebook...

I was spending around 3 hours just scrolling and consuming content on Facebook, now I've un-followed all the accounts that bring nothing to my life other then negativity and am only following people who inspire me and motivate me my time as dropped massively, it's also pushed me into creating more..

Consume less and create more, time to give back value to others rather then just taking

32 - Fail to plan, plan to fail

32 - Fail to plan, plan to fail

You've probably heard the saying before piss pour planing leads to piss poor performance... It's so true, if you go through life just living day to day you are letting life just happen, without having any plans it's very hard to move forward and progress... Generally when you plan something it happens, may be just a bbq a party or a holiday... But you've planned it and it happened..take control of 2021, set some goals and get some plans in place.
