Emma’s debut book, Start With Yourself, is out today. This is the episode she’s been building toward since the very beginning of Aspire. She’s doing something she’s never done on this podcast…

So, um, the first question is, so why now, and why a book? Which I think is a really good place to start.
Now, I wrote this book because I'm convinced that when you ask me how I've become successful or how I've done what I've done, you are not asking me because you're interested in me.
You're asking me because you wanna know how you can do it for yourself, and here's the thing.I am entirely, entirely convinced that you can, and I'm telling you that this book, it's gonna help you get there.
Not because it's a magic wand that's gonna change your life, but it's gonna do two things for you.
First, it's gonna show you what's holding you back, and it's going to rewire your thinking so that you can move forward into the life and the work that you want and that you so rightly deserve.
Start With Yourself really is, it's a game-changing, no bullshit guide for any of you that are seeking meaningful success on your own terms, and that part is really important.
It's one that is gonna give you the tools and the mindset to unlock your full potential in your life and in your business.
The next question is, what exactly does it mean when I say to start with yourself? Now, if I'm honest, what I'm actually giving you here is my personal philosophy.
First, it's about literally starting with yourself, meaning to put yourself at the very top of your list of priorities.
Even if you're a mum, or if you have a lot of people relying on you, or even if you consider yourself a team player, or you've become so freaking accustomed to putting yourself way down on your list of things to do, you can, and you still should, start with yourself every damn day.
Now, to start with yourself actually means taking ultimate responsibility for yourself, for your thoughts, for your attitude, for your learning, and for all your failings, all of it.
I want you to have a vision for yourself, and then I want you to learn to manage your emotions and tune out whatever doesn't serve you.
Easier said than done, I hear you say it, but I promise you that this is a blueprint, and it's something that you will be able to follow.
This, my darlings, is a start with yourself mentality, and it is all in the book which launches today.
There's so much business and self-help content out there, I hate the idea of self-help content, what makes Start With Yourself different, and what should we not expect from this? That's a very good question.
