ABOUT THE BOOK
What if success isn’t only about where you end up?
We spend so much of our lives trying to get somewhere. Building careers, businesses and relationships. Chasing goals. Solving problems. Becoming the person we think we need to be.
But somewhere along the way, it’s remarkably easy to lose sight of the person doing all that living.
The Self-Love Mindset™ grew out of my own experience of doing exactly that and the questions that followed when the way I had been living stopped working.
What does it actually mean to live well? How do we know when enough is enough? What happens when the things we thought would make us happy don't? And how do we build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks from the outside?
Part personal story, part practical guide, The Self-Love Mindset is an invitation to reconsider how we pursue success. It makes a case for putting yourself back at the centre of the life you're creating..
THE BIG IDEA
It matters how you travel
But what if the quality of the journey matters more than the destination?
THE JOURNEY
We are always trying to get from here to there.
A better job. More money. A successful business. A relationship. Recognition. More confidence. The next achievement.
We tend to think happiness and fulfillment are waiting for us on Island B.
ISLAND B
Where I think I need to be.
ISLAND A
Where I am.
THE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO GET THERE
THE HARD WAY
Prove yourself. Push through. Ignore what you need. Repeat old patterns. Measure your worth by how quickly you're moving.
You may eventually reach Island B. But what did the journey cost you?
Paddle harder
ANOTHER WAY
Lead yourself well
Take care of yourself. Understand yourself. Work with who you are rather than constantly against yourself. Create value without abandoning yourself in the process.
The Self-Love Mindset is the ship!
Start with yourself
