This is my mantra that keeps me going every day.
Be Happy, Live Smart, Stay Strong
Because I have had bad days, even weeks and months. So way back in 2017 I decided I needed something that would and could stay with me even on my dark days. Over a few months of revisions, I developed my life-mantra:

Yeah, all the links go to my Redbubble account where I am selling the words on my merchandise! I already have the coffee cup and beer coasters!
It’s a simple but powerful set of principles that helps guide me on my mind/emotions/heart/spirit, plus my family-life, my work-life and entrepreneurial journey.
Let me break it down and dive into why it matters and how it works so well for me:
First and foremost, BE HAPPY!
Remember, happiness is not just a destination; it’s a way of life. As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, the challenges, and the occasional setbacks. But don’t forget to find joy in the journey! Embrace the little wins, celebrate your achievements, and take time to appreciate the progress you’re making. Remember, a happy mind is a creative and resilient mind.
Next up, LIVE SMART!
This one is all about making intelligent decisions that align with our goals. As an entrepreneur, it’s crucial to be strategic and resourceful. Do your research, analyze the market, and stay ahead of the curve. Be open to new ideas, seek feedback, and constantly learn and adapt. And hey, don’t forget to take care of yourself along the way! A healthy body and mind are the foundation for smart decision-making.
Last but not least, STAY STRONG!
Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart. There will be challenges, obstacles, and moments when you question everything. But remember, it’s during these tough times that your true strength shines through. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity, stay persistent in the face of adversity, and never lose sight of your vision. Believe in yourself, trust your instincts, and keep pushing forward. You’ve got this!
Remember my mantra:
BE HAPPY, LIVE SMART, STAY STRONG
Postscript: Here’s some extra designs from my merch’ range that could also help your well being and happiness. They certainly help me.
I love that each tshirt helps us to embrace happiness, make intelligent decisions, and cultivate strength in a sometimes-painful world for everyone in our life.
