Your Inner Saboteur is STEALING Your Profits (and Maybe Your Life!)

Self-sabotage. Sounds fluffy, right? WRONG. It’s the silent killer of success… and it’s likely rotting your English skills from the inside out.

Let’s get brutally honest. You’re doing this:

You’re playing horror movies in your head…

Picturing yourself stumbling, looking like a fool in front of clients.
Hearing your voice crack, sounding like a stumbling idiot.
Seeing yourself freeze, unable to string two words together.
Worst of all: Imagining the smirks, the laughter, the humiliation… so you just “leave the party” before it even starts.
Sound familiar? Maybe not that dramatic, but you’re doing some version of this. STOP. This shit is costing you EVERYTHING.

Every botched presentation, every lost client, every missed opportunity because you’re letting your inner critic run the show… that’s money ripped right out of your bank account. It’s years off your career. It’s a LIFE unfulfilled.

On my latest podcast, I expose exactly how you’re “beating yourself up” with your English—so you can finally understand what NOT to do and start getting paid what you’re worth.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

The hidden ways your negative self-talk is costing you deals.
How to silence the inner critic and unleash your authentic voice.
Proven strategies to build unstoppable confidence in any English situation.
This isn’t some feel-good therapy session. This is about money, power, and control.

Click to listen to the podcast NOW and take control of your English, your career, and your life.

P.S. Ready to stop playing small and finally dominate your industry with your English skills? Let’s talk. Book a private, one-on-one consultation with me, and let’s map out your path to unstoppable English success. 

The Habits of Professionals Growing Into Strong, Confident English Communicators

Your Inner Saboteur is STEALING Your Profits (and Maybe Your Life!)

TO BE, OR NOT TO BE POLITE. THAT IS THE ETIQUETTE QUESTION

ETIQUETTE IS A SET OF COMMONLY KNOWN RULES OF PERSONAL BEHAVIOUR WITHIN A GROUP OF PEOPLE OR A SOCIETY AS A WHOLE.

At work, etiquette is a code that governs the expectations of how people should and should not behave at work, although there isn’t a universal agreement on what exactly is acceptable or not. It is the responsibility of the company and managers to develop a code and to set expectations in the workplace.

Most of us also have a set of unwritten rules that govern our family lives that are known to all members of the group, so the concept of etiquette is not new to us. We are familiar with how our behaviour affects and influences others, and so it is important to behave correctly, or face the consequences.

At work and in business, there are a set of rules or conventions that differ from one country to another, however, politeness and showing courtesy to others is universal. In some cultures, courtesy and showing respect is paramount to your success in business, at work and in job interviews.

Other cultures value directness, which may be taken as a rude gesture by someone from a different background.

Welcome back to another episode of Streetwise English. I'm your host, Carl. Today, I want to talk about how to take better photos with your cell phone, with your mobile phone. Now, it doesn't matter if you have an iPhone or an Android phone, like a Samsung or Google Pixel or whatever Android phone you have. These techniques will all apply and they will all help you take better photos.

So let's begin. Number one, make sure that you have enough storage on your phone so that you can take photos. Now, I know that I have this problem all the time. I don't have enough storage space and so then I don't take the photo because I don't want to take up space. So do yourself a favor and back your photos up to the cloud or back up to an external device and make sure you have enough space to take the photo in the first place.

Number two is to carry a portable battery charger. So if your phone doesn't have power, you can't take photos. So carry just a little USB charger with your phone. All right. We're almost ready to actually begin taking photos.  So here we go for the actual taking photos. Clean your lens. So your phone lens will get oils off of your finger.
And that will make the images less clear and more blurry. So clean your lens. It can be with a t- shirt or whatever, but always, always, always clean your lens before you take photos with your phone.


Number two, when you take a picture, choose the hero of your photo. So that doesn't even if it's just taking a picture of your food where you've had what you're having for dinner. Choose whatever is the most important item on the plate. And make that your hero. So if that's your steak or if it's a piece of asparagus, make that the center of attention for the video.
It doesn't have to be in the dead center, but it should be the main subject. And that's also with a person. Sorry text count limit
