Procrastination is an exponential time-sink. Because it’s like walking in the wrong direction. You have to get back to where you started to start making real progress. Focus and discipline today will save you stress tomorrow. Image credit: Janis Ozolins

We’re all prone to moments of frustration. When you’re a leader, handling those poorly has a direct impact on the team around you. Good mental health and mindfulness skills are essential to leadership. We all have bad days. But your response shouldn’t cause them for others.

As a leader of an international business, travel is part of my job. I always try to remind myself to recognise it for the opportunity that it is. Our world is beautiful, and is full of wonder both natural and manmade. Travelling it broadens the mind and develops perspective.

You are an entrepreneur if: You see potential in places other people overlook. You refuse to accept the phrase ‘that’s just the way things are’. You don’t just want to make it to tomorrow, you want to make a better one. The journey begins when you decide to take the plunge.

I want to make a profit, but I want to make it honestly. I don’t want to stab someone in the back to get what I want. In business, integrity is non-negotiable. Work towards your goals with integrity and respect for others.

Don't fall into the trap of thinking that reading and researching alone will lead to success. Action is what drives real progress. Reading about starting a business won't make it happen ↳ You have to create and launch Less reading, More doing!

Your past experiences can be a powerful tool for success, but they can also hold you back if you let them. Move forward with the positives, let the negatives stay in the past – you can’t change them, don’t let them change you. Image credit MĂ©lodie | Visual Ideas

The smartest people I know are often the ones who speak the least and listen the most. None of us will ever have all the answers – but we all have the ability to ask questions. Image credit: Roberto Ferraro

Today, thousands of students across the UK will open their exam results and believe they are failures. Remember: Success comes from determination, hard work, and passion - not from a set of grades. Today's results don't define you - this is just the beginning of your story.

Progress is almost never linear. Every single setback is the setup for a comeback, and every twist in the road teaches something new. Great image from lizandmollie

The best time to take action is today. You can’t change the past, and you can’t guarantee that conditions will be the same tomorrow. If you are ready today, it’s time to take the leap. Excellent visualisation from Jeff Kortenbosch 👋

It may at times feel like you’ve come to the end of the road... But I assure you, there’s always a way. Look back at the things you’ve achieved and the hurdles you’ve jumped. You’ve come this far... Let that serve as motivation for your future.

When you start a business, it can be tempting to be a ‘yes man’. However, when you say yes to things that don’t bring you closer to your goals, you say no to things that do. An early sign of successful entrepreneurs? They dare to say NO.

A leader isn’t someone with a fancy title. President, CEO, Founder — none of that matters. A leader is someone who makes other people better. It’s having your team's back. It’s showing them the best way to do things. It’s helping them believe in themselves. Do you agree?

Obsession isn’t just about 10,000 hours — It’s about 10,000 details. The best entrepreneurs? They all sweat the small stuff. They don’t believe each tiny little detail drastically changes their business. They believe in the power of compounding.
