blog, Blogger, Blogspot, Daily Habits, daily routine, establish a good routine to conquer a successful day, everyone can build a castle, productivity, Structured day
A typical day for me, is most mornings I am awake to begin work especially this time of year is at 4am. Sometimes I will go back to bed, but other times I don’t.
Getting up that time kick starts my day and it is so nice to get up and get some writing done before anybody else wakes up.
I will plan the night before of what to do, and what needs to be done. I have decided that I am going to post on this site everyday to help support others and help them become successful in their life, and this takes time and patience.
My breakfast time is between usually 5am to 6am, and I get dressed ready between 6am to 7am.
Now to save myself time in the mornings is have my shower and wash my hair the night before and it has made such a difference.
I am all about saving myself time so I can chill for a bit and listen to music or an audio book during the day, aswell as spending time with my son.
See below the template I use to plan my work and day, and seems to really be helping me to keep tabs on my time keeping:
I would recommend everyone to create a blog schedule thinking about the SMART contents which stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time.
Block out your time and make space for breaks. Being on the computer all day isn’t good for you, so have a timeout block which for me is usually between 1pm to 2pm and take a break between 4pm to 6pm.
This is the block schedule I use to break it down.
I have found being disciplined in my days and being productive as really helped me have a successful day.
Everyday should count and so establish a good routine to help you towards Success.
Please remember to follow me on WordPress to keep up to date with my blogposts, and will blog again tomorrow.

blog, blog schedule template, Blogger, Blogspot, everyone can build a castle, family, feelings, inspiration, music, Planning, productivity, Take control of your life, videos
Yes I am confused by the lockdown like many, the questions that came into my head were is do I go out or not? I can go to work but can only see one person, like that is possible?
The one thing it has made me do during this Pandemic is Take control of my life, by working on my blogs, books, researching for content and watching some Youtube videos, and really buckling down and do some work.
Just because there is a lockdown doesn’t mean we have to slouch in front of the TV we can still be productive.
I have been staying at my mum’s until I can find somewhere else to go to, my marriage has come to an end, so I haven’t had to do any cleaning as much but schedule my days better and have gotten so much more done.
It doesn’t have to be strenuous work just 5 minutes a day concentrating on something other than what you would normally do, can make such a different.
I have come up with more content for my blogs and I am in the process of developing an Online course, which I will be launching soon and started writing a book based on many topics covered on the blog site.
It is amazing how much you can get done check out this template from Word Excel that I use to help me schedule my work load.
When I have days where I have felt a little glum I have listening to music, here is a song that I have discovered which speaks wonders it is called “Nothing going to bring me down”
So keep going and keep safe and lets hope we can return to normal very soon.

Hello and welcome to today’s blog. In today’s post I am sharing How to build a fantastic team, as being a entrepreneur, life and football coach and even being a mum, you have to have a good team behind you, that you can work with.Sorry for the cliche but there is no I in team, and it is about working together, not as individuals.
Everyone should pull their weight if not then they shouldn’t be in that particular job or they may need some further training.
When I worked at a Holiday Resort I would do 5 to 6 jobs before I did my actual job which was Trolley Running, because in order to keep a restaurant running sufficiently it has to be cleaned and set up ready for the guests to arrive for their morning and afternoon meal.
As soon as one person didn’t pull their weight it affected the team morale making others not bothered either.
You know if you have a good team because they will be smiling not miserable.
Low morale in a company can cause damage to a companies reputation, especially if they see a Manager shouting or talking down to an employee.
It is all about respect and working as one, and when everyone works well together it is a bonus and a team to be extremely proud of.

blog, Blogger, Blogspot, building a foundation around you, creating a foundation and following the unplanned, Creating success in your life, everyone can build a castle, feelings
Hello and welcome to another blog. In today’s post I am writing about Building a Foundation around you. Now I did do another blog a long while ago called,
Creating a foundation and following the unplanned
Since this blog my life has changed. My marriage has come to and end, some jobs I was doing didn’t workout, yet I still feel I have built a good foundation.
There are people out there who I have been working with who believe in my blogs and books which have become my full time job. I am writing a book called Everyone Can Build a Castle, because I have had so much positive feedback that I thought it was time.
It is important to have a team especially if you are a blogwriter and also do other jobs, because it can become overwhelming, so having someone you can delegate jobs to is a “must have” in my book.
It has been a very difficult year but now I have met the man of my dreams who has bought the word “Love” back into my life. Being in love again is truly special and a new life is beginning for me.
Sometimes in order to create foundation you have to do some searching and may take time to know them, but once you have built that foundation and you can sleep at night you know you are on the right track for success.
However there will be people who will try and manipulate, stir trouble or be a negative person, but never let these people dictate and let them wallow in their misery.
ITS NOT YOUR PROBLEM!
What you want to do is have a good set of people who can jump in when you fall, and be your Rock.
Please remember to follow me if you wish to be kept up to date with my blogpost. I am now planning on blogging on this site everyday and so I will be back with a post tomorrow aswell.
Many thanks for reading,

blog, blog writing, Blogger, Blogspot, Building confidence, everyone can build a castle, home truths, inspiration, negative people
This year I have learned some home truths and that is some people are not what they seem to be and have become a huge disappointment.
I suffer with Social Anxiety and have done for years, but I have come to learn that it all depends on the people I have chosen to hang around with.
Since this year I have met some wonderful people, but there is always those who drag you down.
STOP THEM AND SHUT THEM DOWN!
I wrote a blog called,
It can be these people that cause other people to self sabotage and make you feel worthless, let me tell you that this is not about you, but them, so ignore them if you can and let them know that you aren’t happy with them.
YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO FIGHT BACK
I am a loyal person always have been and I stick with people through thick and thin, but I have been hurt by these people, that I have had no choice but to walk away. Relationships are hard and they do come in all shapes and sizes. I think that is why my blog community has grown, because when I believe in something like this blog people can see that and can relate to it.
Let me tell you now that you are worth it and go for the dream job you want or the lifestyle. No one has the right to tell you how to live and who you should be friends with, or that they shouldn’t do something.
As long as it has good intentions then go for what you want and aim for bigger and better things.
People have a dream and vision for a reason so pursue it and forget those who are jealous.
I will hold my hands up I have been jealous too and it is not a nice feeling as you become begrudging when do I really want to see someone fall or succeed?
I want people to succeed in their life, not hurt anyone and thrive at what they do. No one has the right to drag anyone down because they’ve had a bad day, but be a shoulder to cry on if they do wish to discuss matters with you, rather than screaming and shouting.
Jealousy comes in all shapes and sizes, and for me is like having a parasite in the pit of your stomach to the point you feel this anger and resentment. It can eat away at you, and you end up questioning yourself, so I try go by the commandments in the Bible, which is,
TREAT THOSE HOW YOU WISH TO BE TREATED
I don’t like having a pop at someone, it isn’t in my nature but I will find my voice when someone I feel is having a cheap shot at me, and that I am not going to let it make me dive but to survive and succeed, and so should you.
So be happy within yourself and create a good foundation of people around you. I love being around others who want the same outcome as me, and that is to be a successful writer, to work in comedy, music and football.
It does come with hard work and you do have to be committed but it doesn’t mean you can’t go out and get it.
So good luck and I hope you succeed and let me know of the things you have wanted to to do and achieved. I love hearing about these types of stories as I find it so inspiring and let me tell you have my backing all the way.

blog writing, Blogger, building success through a blog, cheat sheets, creating a blog, creating a successful blog, dos and donts when writing a blog, everybodycanbuildacastle, Mel Robbins, Tony Robbins
Hi everyone I am writing today about Building Success through a blog. I have been writing blogs for about 12 years now and I absolutely love it and enjoy creating content for you to read.
You can do it as a living which is what I am building up to do, so I have an income coming in via my blogposts.
It isn’t an easy task, but from my learning and understanding once you start it is hard to stop.
I have written my Newsletter blog talking about The Do’s and Don’t when building a blog, which I have added into a cheat sheet below: https://newsletterthoughtsandadvicefortheweek.blogspot.com/2020/04/the-dos-and-dont-when-building-blog.html
I have created a couple of cheat sheets to help you with writing a successful blog (see below):
cheat sheet on the dos and don’ts when writing a blogpost
The one thing I would say is ignore the doubters, as long you believe in your blogpost and writing engaging content then keep going.
Don’t be put off if you don’t get an audience at first, because it does take time. Also remember to use Keywords.
You can build success through a blog by being consistent and if you take a break then do let your audience know.
Find your niche which for me I found through working in customer service, discovering people like Tony Robbins and Mel Robbins, Oprah Winfrey and Youtubers like Louise Pentland, Rebecca Meldrum, Mimi and Alex Ikon, Kate Murnane and Fleur De Force.
Check out this video by Tony Robbins talking about:
Be productive, which I talk a lot about on this site, because the more productive you are the more blogs you can write. Make sure for example you have clear space to work on and remember quality is better than quantity, just batch writing I find has helped me stay on track, as now I write practically everyday.
Make it a habit that before or after you have finished your blogwriting you tidy your area ready for the next day.
