The first 6 months of 2024 were really really tough, after not working for months, with Lyla off school for a term unwell (to name just a few challenges 😅) I could let self doubt kick in & spiral to a bad place

BUT instead, remembered how passionate I am about what I do, that I’m a good personal with a moral compass & even if not overnight, that will always make me a winner

Here’s to protecting more families 🔐 & mentoring other Mums wanting to make a difference to others, whilst working flexibly to become successful advisers 👩🏻‍💻 💰

If you’re not in a good place at the moment, just remember it’s a bad day not a bad life 🫶🏻

✨ Eat well, exercise, remain a good soul, spend time with people you love, utilise the vast array of free self development resources the world has to offer ✨.

My expression when a new review client shows me what their current cover they got from the internet includes (or more importantly DOESN’T INCLUDE)

Between her and her children, they will now be covered for 65 more critical illnesses than before 😱

We’ve also locked the price in so it stays the same right up until she reaches retirement age rather than 50 (as you’ll still need time off work and be financially impacted if you are of working age) as trying to get cover at a reasonable price when you’re 50 rather than 30 is like ✈️ 🐷 the price difference per month is around the cost of a coffee

When did you last review your insurances? P.s I’ve cropped out insurer names because I don’t feel it’s professional or morally right to publicly slate companies but it is important to make sure my clients have the best & most suitable cover

So tonight didn’t quite go to plan 🙈 the
Cheltenham >Cirencester route is no fun at rush hour, let alone with how quickly this happened.

Thankfully was with me fairly quickly and was so helpful & friendly, he said the amount of people who have this happen & call the AA without actually having any breakdown cover in place. All of a sudden it’s really important to them to make sure they have that cover in place once they’ve had that scare/expense.

I told him about how I get the same happen in my job - people often don’t realise the importance of having income protection/life/critical illness insurance until they’re diagnosed with something which either makes them uninsurable, or a lot more expensive or have exclusions ❌

Thankfully I’m home safe and sound now, but seeing this tyre was quite scary 😧

The patrol mechanic gave me a qr code which gives a 50% discount because apparently when you’re on a monthly rolling direct debit like I am, it tends to work out more £ so he said to cancel and restart with the discount, so let me know if you want the qr code,

OR

if you still need to sort your insurance, I do have some slots left for this week 👀👌

👇🏻👇🏻 Update please read 👇🏻👇🏻

I think most people know by now that I’m mega passionate about my job - making sure people have the right cover at a reasonable monthly £, so it’s important that I reassure any of my clients who may have received an email from that your policies are 100% fine

Your policy contract is with the actual insurance company ( Royal London, Vitality, Aviva, etc) & the advice you have been provided by myself remains unchanged & totally protected 🔐 Please do not be caught by cold callers telling you that you now need to change your policies. As always I’m still here to be able to support you through a claim, answer questions and provide non biased advice all as part of the service of being a client at no extra cost to you 👌

Bespoke Financial was the Broker that I traded under previously who are closing their doors for ventures new after many hugely successful years. I wish all the Bespokers nothing but the best & have made lifelong friends, will be grateful for all the learning, experience & fun I had there 🫶🏻

I am still 100% providing advice & taking on new clients

I’ve got even more products I’m able to advice on & have some exciting plans coming up ✨ as always, really appreciate all the support, referrals, recommendations and shares of my posts

Shoutout to my darling daughter who took this pic in the summer & said “you look like a model mum” 🥺

I still didn’t (& don’t)feel it but what I’ve learnt is that you’ve gotta operate from where you’re heading not where you feel you are 🫶🏻

If you’re in the thick of a s**t time, please remember it’s a bad day not a bad life 💭.

Trust me, so do I!

I’m a single mum with mortgage & big goals 🏡🏝️❤️

But one thing I’ve learnt in life is that the only thing you can guarantee is yourself and your own efforts/work ethic🙌🏻

So rather than see self employment as a “risk” of not having anything guaranteed, I see the “risk” is that being in an employed job I’ll only ever earn and achieve what someone else deems I’m worth.

I remember being in jobs where I got paid the exact same as people who would put in the bare minimum effort to make sure they kept that “guaranteed income” while working my socks off 🧦

I’m sure we all know people in a “secure job” who’s had their hours cut/been made redundant. So what actually is guaranteed in life?

Focus on your developing yourself, your communication skills and building your network 👥

You have 24 hours a day, who’s to say you can’t continue your secure job that you know and feel comfortable in, whilst also building your dreams part time?

Ps there’s absolutely nothing wrong with being in an employed job, this post is hoping to give some inspiration to those people who want to go self employed/take a leap at something in life but maybe are lacking in confidence/belief 💫

P.p.s excuse the frizzy hair wtff is this weather ☔️ ☀️

The moment I became a mum I knew I’d do anything that was needed to protect my daughter ❤️

I can’t imagine anything ever happening to her. I don’t ever want to watch her be 😷poorly or suffer.

But If I’m in that situation I know that as a Mum,I need to be beside her every step of the way.

I know I will need time off work, I know that means the household suffers financially 💰

The gas and electricity bill will increase as I keep a poorly child warm, I know we will have to eat healthier 🍎to give the body the best chance.

I know If either of us need cancer treatment abroad we’re on that plane ✈️ and I’m getting the best treatment, I will do anything as a mum 👩. I can do this as I have global treatment protecting us 🙏🏻.

I know if I need money because she’s critically ill that we will have this as I’ve protected us financially.

If you have kids and haven’t protected them, why not?

My advice costs nothing, but it could help you hugely in the worst case scenario 🙏🏻

Can we all take a moment to appreciate my eyebrow Improvements over the last 7 years (thankyou .j 😍 ) and how accurate Lyla’s vest slogan is 😂
