🌟 Overcoming Anxiety with Fear-Setting 🌟

Anxiety is essentially fear of what’s yet to come. As someone who’s an expert at overthinking (with a dash of ADHD!), I’ve imagined countless futures before even finishing my morning coffee. 🌅 Over the years, I’ve tried various methods to manage this, and one standout technique is Fear-Setting. It might sound like a paradox, but it’s incredibly effective.

🔍 Fear-Setting is all about facing and conquering fears that block our personal growth and decision-making. Here’s a quick guide:

Identify Your Fear: What’s holding you back? Is it a career move, starting a new venture, or a personal decision? Name it. 🎯

Dissect the Fear:

Worst-Case Scenario: Visualize the absolute worst outcome.
Prevention: Brainstorm ways to avoid this scenario.
Repair: How could you fix things if they go south?
Upsides of Trying: Even if you don’t fully succeed, what will you gain? Skills, experiences, connections? 💡

Cost of Inaction: What’s the emotional, physical, and financial toll of not doing anything, both now and in the future?

Reflect and Decide: Weigh all this information and choose your path with clarity and confidence. 🚀

Tim Ferriss champions Fear-Setting as a counterpart to goal-setting. While goals focus on what we aspire to achieve, fear-setting deals with the hurdles that often stop us in our tracks. It’s a strategic approach to assess risks and lessen the fear of failure.

Ready to face your fears? Let’s dive in! 💪

There’s a theory that we revert to a baseline level of happiness, regardless of the intermittent joys or sorrows we experience. Therefore, the key to a fulfilling life lies in finding joy in our daily routines. Slow down. Savor that cup of coffee. Give your doggy a hug. That snarky email you’re tempted to send to an ungrateful client will look different once you’ve had a moment to cool down.

There are stars colliding and life is evolving and things are transforming and existence is coming and going, it is, always will, and has been even in the 5 seconds it just took you to read that sentence.

So, take a few minutes to pause. Slowing down really is the fastest way to speed up.

✨ Glamour Magazine recently sat down with me to discuss my professional journey, shining a light on key aspects of my life and work. In the interest of time, I’m sharing some key takeaways with all of you!

📊 I’ve noticed a shortage of women in crucial paid media roles, a cornerstone of modern advertising. STEM fields, like paid media and analytics, have historically lacked female representation. I delved into this skill set, believing that understanding the analytics behind creativity is invaluable. I highly recommend adding this skill to your toolkit, whether you’re starting a business, looking to improve or understand it better, or advancing your studies.

🚀 My success is a testament to sheer determination. It’s the hunger for learning and growth that propels me forward. Curiosity is an entrepreneur’s lifeline, and I’ve always embraced change, taken risks, and seized opportunities. If it doesn’t feel scary, you’re not pushing your boundaries.

🙌 Actively supporting and celebrating your fellow women is essential. Acknowledging their achievements inspires others to shatter barriers and achieve greatness beyond societal norms. Let’s make sharing and celebrating each other a daily practice—collaboration over competition!

💪 To all the women in business, don’t let fear hold you back. Start now, and remember:

1️⃣ Hard work breeds luck.
2️⃣ Forge your unique path.
3️⃣ Embrace failures as redirection.
4️⃣ Invest in personal development.
5️⃣ Maintain a clear conscience.
6️⃣ Seek inspiration beyond books and screens.
7️⃣ Learn from the journeys of those who inspire you.

Let’s continue to inspire and empower one another! If you’d like to read the full article, click the link in my bio. 💫 #WomenInBusiness #Empowerment #SaltAndCandyAgency #GlamourMagazine

Better late than never!
A few Sundays ago, I was thrilled to wake up and find a feature on me in the Sunday Times supplement magazine, ‘Celebrating Women’. The central theme? People, Passion, Purpose.

I frequently talk about how authentic daily living leads to genuine leadership, which makes the magazine’s monthly focus especially relevant.

Curious about which skills I believe entrepreneurs need to thrive? The answer might surprise you. Link in bio!

Me after the last 2 weeks of digging deep into #Ai 🤣

These new Ai Chrome Extensions are blowing my mind🤯

My top picks (For today!)

1. Compose AI: A Chrome extension that cuts your writing time by 40% with AI-powered autocompletion & text generation.

2. Glasp: A free Chrome Extension that lets you quickly capture online content with coloured highlighting options, which are then automatically curated to your Glasp homepage. These highlights can then be tagged, searched for, linked to, and shared on a variety of other platforms, including Twitter, Teams, and Slack. YouTube and web article summarization functions are powered by ChatGPT.

3. ChatGPT Prompt Genius: ChatGPT is excellent if you know what to ask it. Discover, share, import, and use the best prompts for ChatGPT & save your chat history locally (formerly ChatGPT History)

That’s all for now! 🙃

WOW! A blast from the past and a reminder of what a journey it has been since I started my agency 10+ years ago, when I met and worked with Stephen, the CEO of Rockcorps. Here we are again, enjoying a much-needed cold drink in the scorching heat of London!

Rockcorps' goal is 'simple': to change the world for good through the power of music, youth, community, and purpose."

I am always inspired and grateful for this connection!

A big focus of mine at the moment is understanding #AI and how I can utilize it to better automate my businesses and offer it as part of my services through my advisory work and @saltandcandyagency clients.

@ldntechweek offered some incredible insights into this new world. The best analogy has to be from Arthur Hu from Lenovo. "When fire was discovered, humans didn't abandon it. Instead, they learned to harness and control it. Similarly, with Gen AI, it's crucial to understand its potential and work towards responsible and productive use."

I believe the only way we are not going to get burnt is by making sure we continue learning with curiosity and respect.
