Take the time to reflect on what truly motivates you and what you want to achieve in your life. Impostor syndrome is a common obstacle that many entrepreneurs face. Instead of letting it hold you back, turn it into a superpower. Challenge your self-doubt and work on building your confidence. Use tools like a pie chart to visually represent your priorities and how you want to allocate your time. Be honest with yourself about what truly matters to you and make decisions accordingly. Life is fluid, and your priorities may change over time. Be open to reassessing and adjusting your plans as needed. Stay connected to your future vision, but also be present in the moment and enjoy the journey. BEST MOMENTS "I suddenly realized that I actually had very little control of my time. I was in different country, often three times in a week, all over the place." "I'm a doer and a person that believes in doing and trying and failing, doing and trying and succeeding, doing and trying and failing." "Imposter syndrome was a huge thing for me for a long, long time. But I realized that, okay, it might be natural for me to feel imposter syndrome, but I can absolutely work my mindset on this and I can work my way through it." "I think it's very easy to keep going down that adrenaline-filled, busy, distracted, crazy life that we live in. For me, it always was there as a reminder that, well, all of this time, I want to be at home with my kids and I want to be slower and I want to be present."

Keith Fraser is the founder and pioneer of Cojones, the cheeky yet profound code for living successfully and authentically. He is also a Master Practitioner of NLP and an exponent of Transactional Analysis (TA) furthering his deep understanding of the art of persuasion and what makes people tick.

Keith is the host of Cojones TV and has interviewed Arsene Wenger, Ross Kemp, Sarah Willingham and Alastair Campbell amongst others. In this episode, Keith Fraser and I discuss how having courage to speak your truth, embracing your authenticity, and living unapologetically can create a life of success. Central to Keith's No. 1 Bestseller book “Cojones: Grow a Pair For Success” is the notion that we must wholly embrace our lives for it is ours alone to live. We needn't spend time worrying what other people think or how they may judge us; rather, we should endeavour to live life with a fearless freedom. To grow a pair is to: “be fearless, be bold enough to stand out, and be audacious enough to grasp whatever it is YOU decide YOU want” (Keith Fraser).

Business woman and former Dragon's Den dragon Sarah Willingham surprised everyone some years back, by taking her 4 children out of school and setting off for a round the world adventure. She and her husband rented their house out, put all their possessions into storage and were only allowed 23 kilos of luggage each, which she found hugely liberating. Now back in the UK with the children back in school, she is a fan of talking to her children about everything, including money, as she wants them to grow up earning and knowing the value of money, just as she has done since her childhood in Stoke-on-Trent.
