Author, Terry Blackburn, had a turbulent adolescence. He was drinking and taking drugs at just 12 years old and left school at 16 without any qualifications, written off by his teachers as a loser who’d never achieve anything in life. Fast forward 18 years and at just 33, Terry is an award-winning entrepreneur, running seven very successful businesses in property investing, life insurance and mortgage brokerage. Yet Terry, a hands-on dad of 4, still prioritises his time to keep fit, eat well, and enjoy holidays, friends, reading, meditation and more. Terry believes that with the right mindset, anything and EVERYTHING is possible.

Written in an exuberant and conversational style, Be a Lion is organised into simple chapters packed with advice on how the ‘lion’ mindset can be applied to all areas of life such as: business and property – the power of simplicity, goal setting and continuous growth; health, wellbeing and fitness – drinking time-saving smoothies and writing daily goals and gratitude mantras; relationships – the importance of aligned values and a have-it-all mindset.

Terry provides actionable steps throughout his debut book to inspire and guide readers on their journey to creating an amazing life with zero self-doubt.

If you’ve been religiously removing the caps and lids from your bottles and jars and recycling them separately you are doing it wrong! The trick is to put them back on the empty bottle or jar as unbelievably anything smaller than a tennis ball cannot be sorted and recycled effectively.

• an in-depth look at the collection and sorting processes

• a break-down of what the recycling symbols on our packaging actually mean, and
• an insight into the future of recycling and the new materials that will change the way we look at rubbish for ever.
