What do you mean you don't have to actually sell your flat to be able to buy this dream house that you used to think you'd have to sell your flat, your house, and all your worldly possessions and probably one of your children for?

All of a sudden, I was like, I'm a chronic overpayer on my mortgage.

I bet I've got enough equity in my home to be able to buy this house

without even touching the flat.

I check in with my mortgage advisor.

Lesson number two, to make your dreams a reality, to make audacious things happen, you need to start involving what I call professionals, okay?

It is important to say these things out loud to your best friend, to your sister, to your partner.

but also start to involve professionals.

So say it's your goal, it's your dream to show your film at the Cannes Film Festival.

Start speaking to somebody who's had their film shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

Actually reach out to them and speak to them and say the words out loud.

What was the process for getting your film shown there?

Say you want to go to a particular college, speak to a tutor from there.

phone their hotline.

Is it a hotline?

Phone with their fucking line and say, what is the application process?

When I was like, and this was again, an audacious goal, right?

When I was first divorced, I was living in a one bedroom flat with my daughter.

I was doing beauty therapy two days a week.

And I had the audacious goal.
