- Don't be a martyr. Don't always put your family first. Make sure you look after yourself and take time for you.
- Meet new people. We have a tendency as we get older to shut ourselves in our own little worlds, but the secret to staying young and interested is to embrace new people and activities.
- Don't underestimate yourself. You have more power than you realise.
- Don't be afraid. Push your boundaries as far as you can.
- Surround yourself with friends and family who applaud your successes and support you in whatever you do. Distance yourself from those who cut you down
- Be focused on what you are doing. Prioritise and stick to your game plan. If you've got four or five projects on the go, focus on one at a time, rather than dabbling ineffectively in all of them.
