stepping stones

How can we master the art of managing constraints and turning obstacles into opportunities?

With intentional choices.

Join me as I candidly share my experiences of juggling a media business and several SaaS businesses — while still making time for a life beyond business. You'll discover the techniques I use to stay focused, consistent, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. It's about setting boundaries, creating one-to-many processes, and being intentional with your time.

She discusses important lessons she has learned around being uncomfortable, balancing the masculine and feminine, and letting go of control to allow the universe to provide what she needs. Charlie advises listeners to figure out their purpose, visualize the life they want, and shift who they are becoming.

Ever been in a tough spot, facing failure, and having to decide whether to give up or keep going? Our guest, Krystal Parker, president of the US Christian Chamber of Commerce knows it all too well. She takes us through her extraordinary journey, from being laughed off a stage as a 17-year-old musician to hitting rock bottom when she dropped out of college. However, these very failures ignited a spark in her, a determination to never quit and to find success through the trials.

Krystal not only turned her failures into stepping stones but also harnessed the power of positive self-talk and personal development. She shares about the heart-wrenching self-doubt she faced after dropping out of college and how she combated those negative thoughts with biblical truths and a deep understanding of herself. Get ready to move beyond your comfort zone as we also venture into the thorny realm of peace versus comfort, and the courage it takes to step out in faith.

In this episode, Krystal underscores the importance of shifting work into worship, putting God first, family second and work third. She talks about her own obedience when God instructed her to let go of her job and start anew. Join us on this inspiring discussion as we tackle fears, embrace faith, and learn never to quit. Remember to connect with Krystal Parker on LinkedIn after you tune in!

In this Profitable Cleaner Podcast, you will learn:

• The importance of personal development and positive self-talk in overcoming failures and self-doubt and practical tips on how to combat negative thoughts with biblical truths and a deep understanding of oneself.
• The distinction between peace and comfort - exploring the concept that peace requires acceptance of what is in front of us, and how comfort can lead to complacency.
• How to transform work into worship by altering thoughts and words, prioritizing God, family, and work in that order.
• The power of obedience in facing fears and finding faith.

The universe can seem to hand you problems just when you least expect or desire them. 

Life has a funny way of throwing unexpected curveballs our way & more often than not, it's easy to perceive these situations as happening against us rather than for us.

We've all been there - those moments when everything seems to be going awry & it feels like the universe is conspiring against us!

Here's the thing; sometimes, these stumbling blocks are actually the very experiences we need in order to grow and achieve our goals... even though it isn't always easy to embrace them in the heat of the moment.

Instead, we can get caught up in questioning the fairness of it all or getting swept away by frustration & disappointment.

In moments like these, the common advice of being grateful for what we have can fall on deaf ears. In fact, it can be annoying... the opposite of what it's intended for.

It's not that appreciating what you have isn't important - it is, & it has its role to play in shaping our perspectives. When things don't go as planned, summoning gratitude alone is pointless if you don't actually feel it!

There is something else we can do, something that helps us navigate these challenging moments & find solace amidst the chaos. It's the Burnt Toast Theory!

The Burnt Toast Theory is all about finding a different perspective when life serves you an unexpected, less-than-ideal slice.

When you accidentally burn a slice of toast, it may seem like a minor inconvenience or a frustrating mishap at first. However, this imperfect piece may be the very thing that you're asking... you just can't see it yet! 

In this episode, I share my take on the theory with practical ways to apply it when you need it most.

Time to turn around those setbacks & start to see them as our opportunity to trust the process, surrender control & welcome the unexpected.

We all know the phrase "I had to learn it the hard way." 

But what can we learn about ourselves from difficult circumstances and life lessons?

Reflecting on personal failures can reveal growth and serve as a stepping stone to greater success.

I've experienced that first hand and I imagine you have your own version of how hard won lessons, though painful, ultimately helped you to grow.

In this second episode in my series on failure as a catalyst for success,  you'll hear:

✳️How we can learn valuable lessons from failure and how it can lead us in new directions
✳️ 3 powerful lessons I learned from my failure as a voice actor
✳️ How difficult lessons learned from voice acting helped pave the way for my success as a podcaster

I believe we should embrace the compelling concept of "doing it scared" and seize opportunities, even when fear tries to hold us back. We need to learn the lessons we need to learn for a reason.

Failure is never really failure.

It's creating the space for deep learning , personal growth and building our resilience muscle.

Listen to this episode and remind yourself that you too can reflect on the lessons from past failures, learn to appreciate the journey and pave the way to your future success.

As a US citizen living in the UK, without any pre-arrival and up-to-date planning around your investments and pensions, you could be exposing yourself to a higher than necessary combined US/UK tax bill. Here's what you need to know about pensions and investments, from the US/UK experts.

Step one: Reviewing the current situation - the remittance basis of taxation, creating a financial plan and investment solutions.

Step two: Planning for retirement - long term objectives, cashflow planning, structuring an investment portfolio and returning to the US.

Step three: Withdrawing pensions - minimising tax exposure, when to withdraw, the US UK tax treaty and investments held in pensions.

Step four: Alternatives to traditional planning - sources of retirement income, tactical vs big picture considerations and inheritance tax planning.
