Now today’s episode is a little different to normal, because I’m recording this just after the weekend where I turned 40. Yes the big 4-0 And a lot of people have asked me ‘oh how do you feel, do you feel old, are you freaking out’ - and you know what… no. I’m really not. I feel great! Ask me this a year ago and the answer wouldn’t have been the same so in this episode, I talk through some of the reasons why I feel so great but I also introduce (or re-introduce for those who have been...

Do you ever get in your own way? Do you ever find yourself self-sabotaging and letting those limiting beliefs, voices of self-doubt, and crippling lack of confidence stop you from achieving that next level of success? It happens all too often! And you’re certainly not alone. I recently ran a webinar with a great friend and mentor of mine Andrew Morello, winner of the first Australian Apprentice titled ‘getting the hell out of your own way’.

Hands up - who likes to live a full and meaningful life? We all do right. So now, hands up who wants to live a life of stress and overwhelm and always feel like there’s just too much to do? It’s a really fine line isn’t it between having a lot on on then feeling like you are slipping into overwhelm. The first can leave us energised, and satisfied with a great sense of accomplishment, of kicking goals and of moving forward. The second, foggy, exhausted, snappy and generally not a great joy to...

Are you the type of person who prefers to fly under the radar? Trying to simply stay out of trouble, towing the line and following the rules? Or do you prefer to follow a different path? A path that is not always easy and can often attract criticism but that you’re certain is a better way? On today’s show I chat with Mark LeBusque, he’s commonly called The Human Manager, has written a couple of books about robots and starts each morning completing the statement ‘today I choose to be….’ He’s...

Discovering my superpowers changed my life. Quite literally. It gave me greater understanding of why I approach certain things in certain ways, why some approaches will simply never work for me, and how to have a much greater appreciation for the differences in all of us and start to celebrate these rather than view them as sources of frustration. When I’m talking about superpowers, I’m talking about knowing my CliftonStrengths. I value this information so much that I became an accredited...

Ask me 10 years ago if I’d be running a business (let alone on my second business) and I’d have looked at you as if you had gone mad. Ask me 2 years ago if I’d have a weekly podcast and I would have I’d have laughed in your face. Ask me 6 months ago if my bubbling dream of creating a membership community to inspire and to support people to take back control and design the life they truly want to be living would be launched by now - I’d have given you all of the reasons why it couldn’t be. ...

What would your answer be if someone broke into your house at 3am, put a gun to your head and asked you the ‘why’ (as in ’why do you do what you do’) question?

Morello is best known for winning the very first Australian Apprentice with Mark Bouris but since then has gone on to be an award-winning entrepreneur, investor and author. He is also a...

The last few weeks have seen all of us scrambling to deal with the ‘new norm’. Whether faced with losing our job or business, whether trying to work out how on earth to teach children from the dining room table, or being left with feelings of anger or frustration or simply bewilderment at the increasing measures of restriction imposed - no-one has been left unaffected. In trying to work out how best to support people during this time, I approached psychotherapist, strengths coach and...

‘Momentum’ is one of my favourite words (you’d never have guessed right!?) but when I talk about momentum I’m usually talking about it in the positive sense…gaining momentum to build great habits, gaining momentum on getting stuff done, gaining momentum on building a life that you love. The last few weeks has seen the momentum around the COVID19 Pandemic explode. What was seen to start with as ‘a bit of a cold’ has escalated at an incredible rate to see the near-on collapse of the global...

For many years, okay my whole life really, I have thought playing down compliments was a sign of humility, a sign of ‘not thinking too much of yourself’ of being a non-arrogant human. But recently I’ve had a massive wakeup call and realised that I’ve been approaching this all wrong. Like SO wrong. On the latest episode of the Momentum Life Project I outline how this wake up call happened and what I’ve now realised is not me being humble, or ensuring that I do not come across as arrogant or...

Finding herself standing in the Centrelink line, an unemployed single mum of two very small boys, Lisa Burling decided there and then to start a business.

And make lemonade she did by going on to launch award-winning PR consultancy LBPR, becoming an ambassador for global women’s networks Rare Birds and Ausmumpreneur and now, a...

Everything from our family teams, sporting teams, work departments and organising committees. Known as the ‘team guy’ Keegan has helped some of the largest organisations in Australia and he’s on a mission to put the ‘I’ back in team that we’re so often told to take out! This episode is all about how we can be more...

It’s back! Season 5 of the Momentum Life Project is here! …and yes, it’s a little later than originally planned - but does that really matter? This episode tackles: - An apology, and some reasoning as to why the season has been a little delayed! - Why we should be a little easier on ourselves when we don’t get everything done - What’s coming up for 2020 and how you can play along at home - 3 key ‘rules’ of goal setting (and why I don’t follow the SMART principle)

You may remember Will Mateu from the beginning of Season 4 talking about his bid to become the next Australian Ninja Warrior. Since then, things haven’t gone quite to plan, so he’s back talking about setbacks, resilience and how to find the strength to keep going when everything seems against you. Having had to withdraw from the show a previous year because of an injury he had come back fitter, stronger and more ready than ever. That was, until he got the same injury, training on the same...

Is work ethic dead? How do we ‘find’ our passion? Is discipline the key to everything in life? Does eating fake meat really allow you to recover quicker? I chat to David Knight, Risk and Compliance Management Consultant by day and BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) devotee by night. We delve into a number of areas of personal performance and what we think are the key components to success in life. He believes that many of the excuses we make are coping mechanisms for not meeting our own expectations.
