This is a little unusual for me, normally I like to write about the things that you should be doing and keeping it all very positive, I do not really care too much for the things you are doing wrong, however I do believe that it is important to see your mistakes in order for you to correct them. “7 Reason You May Be Failing” is a tough topic because it may come across as being personal, but it is not. I know these mistakes because I have made them all myself and hopefully by sharing my experiences you can save yourself a lot of time and pain in avoiding them. The second reason for taking this ..read more

The self help stigma. I would like to take a few minutes to address the apparent social stigma attached to self help and personal development as well as offer a few words of encouragement. I remember one time a friend coming around my house and looking at a collection of books I had on my desk, most of them being on the topic of developing self confidence. He commented “I can’t believe you’re reading those books, you’re the most confident person I know”. My response was “maybe I’m confident because I have read those books and applied the information”. He just couldn’t grasp the concept that co ..read more

The greatest anxiety help is this, if we can accept the truth that there are no accidents and no coincidences in life, then reducing anxiety becomes considerably easier. Add to this the fact that all things are working towards our highest good and all of a sudden, life becomes much, much easier. We have no idea of how events around us are transpiring to bring us what we want. An action taken 10,000 miles away on the other side of the world can bring about a chain reaction that could impact us in a way which we have no idea. There is a higher force in the universe, infinite intelligence, God if ..read more

I believe that anybody who truly wishes to be free from the rat race and be financially free must start their own business. Your own business will provide far more security than a regular job, greater financial reward and the flexibility and freedom of the lifestyle you choose.

Follow these 3 steps to financial freedom and you will find more security, income and lifestyle than was ever possible as an employee. Now I know this is all very well to say, bu ..read more

The most significant factor in determining the success of any undertaking is the ability to actually begin a task! Add to this a rock solid determination to see that task through to it’s conclusion, regardless of the difficulties faced and you have a recipe for success. One of the greatest insights we can have into the field of achievement is the realization that impossibility is simply an illusion. Nothing is impossible. It is the illusion of this impossibility that quite often prevents us from undertaking a task. The truth is, whatever we attempt, if we persevere with it for long enough we w ..read more

I want to write a short article today to encourage everybody to pick up the phone and make those phone calls that you have been putting off. The reason that you don’t want to make that call is never going to go away and it’s never going to be easier to call than now. Calls that you know that you need to make and just keep putting off are a total drain on your emotional resources. When you think about a call you need to make then don’t make it you will feel tired and worn out. If you neglect to make the call 10 times you will feel tired and drained 10 times, then at the end of it still have to ..read more

If you wish to create financial wealth for yourself as I do and most others do then there are a few rules to follow. The #1 and golden rule in wealth creation is this – “You Must Create Value”. By this I mean you must create a product or service that provides value to other people and adds to their quality of life; their needs must be met first. In the economic market place, the price that you command is relative to the value that you provide. It’s a very easy concept. The more value you provide to an employer the more salary you can command. If you want more money provide more value. Likewise ..read more

“At times we shall simply have to admit that, one way or another, what we can neither explain nor understand certainly doesn’t cease to exist because we cannot understand how it does or why it should.” – Dr Mark Hyman The above quote is a brilliant way of illustrating the fact that you simply don’t know what you don’t know until you know it. It may sound funny but it’s true. In order to know what you don’t know you would obviously have to have some knowledge of it, in which case you would then know it. I don’t want to move away from the concept of personal development and life coaching and int ..read more
