In today’s episode we’ll talk about how to be 200% more productive while remaining calm and centered, by mastering the rehearsal loop, so you can stop procrastinating and start living! https://melaniejwhite.com/contact-melanie/

I'll explain two types of business person and the formula for each to succeed in business in their own way. Which type are you?  If you’re interested in learning more, take my free quiz on business personality types.https://melaniejwhite.com/business-personality-quiz/ Gretchin Rubin's Four Tendencies Quiz:  https://quiz.gretchenrubin.com/four-tendencies-quiz/

In this episode, I talk about setting boundaries with clients and at work so that you can feel in control, confident and create cash flow and greater client success

Today we'll discuss how setting boundaries around your habits, and meet your own needs first, can lead to integrity, feeling happier with life, and finding greater meaning and purpose.

You can get clear on your identity - who you are and what you want - by examining your strengths, beliefs, values and opinions. Then you'll be equipped to set your own standards of behaviour for the most important values you have and more easily identify what you want to say no to, and how to set boundaries with other people.

Early succession planning - that is, planning the way you will run your business and gradually transition out of it or sell it - has lots of great benefits. Here are FIVE that I can think of. https://melaniejwhite.com/contact-melanie/
