As a business owner and entrepreneur for over 40 years I wanted to start a podcast to help fast track advice and tips for youngsters who are tackling life after uni. I also have a wealth of life experience from bringing up kids, marriage and wellness and happiness.  

whilst I can’t claim to have completed life I do have a head start on youngsters.

When were you happy last week ?   Want more ?
Are we too focused on posesions and stuff thinking it makes us happy.   I think happiness is closed than you think, in fact maybe right under your nose.
In this episode I'll challenge a little rethink on happiness, what made you happy last week, can you find an extra hour of happiness next week.
Have a listen and rethink what might make you happy and how to get more.

Hi
In this mini series of 2 Epsiodes I take a look at Money, the root of all evil some say, and defintely the root of worry, anxiety but also if we get it right enjoyment, happiness and fun.
 
In this first Episode I will try and help you look at your current finances and tips to improve, then we will move the next Episode to help long term saving and investing.
Hope you enjoy and find some things interesting, and at the very least start conversations with friends, colleagues and family about this taboo word of MONEY.
