Recently, I celebrated my 51st birthday. Yes, the “latter stages” of life, as some might jokingly say. Looking back to last year when I turned 50, I remember feeling determined to make it a year full of different experiences, a real celebration of life’s milestones.
Now, at 51, I’m still embracing that spirit. I know it’s been said a million times, but age really is just a number.
We recently went to see Kylie Minogue, who just turned 57, and she put on a brilliant two-and-a-half-hour show packed with energy and passion. Watching her reminded me that staying vibrant isn’t about the years behind you but about the mindset and the things you choose to do.
This got me thinking about business and leadership. The energy, enthusiasm, and creativity you bring to your work can be renewed at any stage. It’s easy to let numbers shape how we see ourselves, whether it’s age or years in business. But what truly counts is how you show up each day, the attitude you take, and the new challenges you’re willing to embrace.
One thing I’ve learned is that keeping your energy alive takes intention. It means making time for the things that inspire you and stepping outside your comfort zone now and then. Whether that’s learning a new skill, taking time to connect with people who energise you, or simply finding moments of stillness to recharge, these choices shape your mindset and, in turn, your success.
As the year moves on, it’s a good time to reflect on how you’re nurturing your own passion and drive. What habits are keeping you motivated? Are there fresh challenges that excite you or areas where you want to grow? Remember, celebrating milestones isn’t just about looking back—it’s about using those moments to fuel what comes next.
So, whether you’re hitting a big milestone or simply moving through the everyday, remember it’s your mindset and actions that keep you fresh, motivated, and successful. Here’s to embracing every stage of life and business with enthusiasm and purpose.
Wishing you all a vibrant and energised summer ahead!
