Christmas is acoming......
I am sooooo excited. I put my tree up yesterday (the rule in my house is that the tree must be up and lit by 1st December) and the children were so happy, and the Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's fairytale of New York was playing on the TV while the girls hung their home made decorations on the tree - Perfect!
Now the fun really starts, writing cards, buying presents and booking restaurants and pantos!! Coming to work seems like a rest in comparisson. Though, of course, in these times we all have to make sure we are putting in our best efforts. Being busy with our training courses and workshops help bring me down to earth with a bump!
Well - enjoy all the Christmas preparations - I know I will!

Go for it!!!
Hello there
I really love stepping outside my comfort zone.
Even though it's slightly uncomfortable...there's a realisation that shortly my comfort zone is going to get bigger.
Everything that you do now with ease would have been out of your comfort zone when you were doing it for the first time.
So my motto this week is go outside the comfort zone at every opportunity because I want to be as strong as I can be during this economic climate and be ahead of the game when it starts to improve.
So remember to go for it whenever you can and develop your strength and achievements.
All the best.

keep training
Well - small businesses have certainly been in the news a lot this week (although probably overshadowed by the Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross crisis which sadly seems to be more important than anything else!!!).
Peter Mandelson has been urging banks to be lenient with small businesses and has also said, “During these difficult times many businesses will look at how to rein in costs. Evidence shows that those that invest in training are less likely to fail and first class workplace skills will be key to prospering when the economy turns up.”
We, as smaller businesses, could all say ' there's just no work out there right now!'. We could all just sit back and hope that our business will be lucky enough to survive. OR we could get up and learn to work harder and smarter to ensure our business are still here after the on coming recession. Learning new techniques to make sure we approach our clients and prospective customers is of paramount importance now. Maybe we should listen to Mandelson and make sure we keep learning new techniques to help us in these more challenging times!
Keep smiling!

website trauma
Hello there
Had a bit of a calamity last week.
The company that hosts our website went into administration. They hadn't paid the server people for 4 months who decided to turn off their supply and there wasn't a back up of our website.
Within 5 hours of finding out, we had a new website up online!
This was mainly due to our other website (www.designyourfuture.co.uk) host Jon Stanton of Site Street.
He did the impossible by turning a logo and some new text from us into a very acceptable website.
We'll probably be carrying out tweaks as we go along to make it even better for you.
The moral of the story is...HAVE YOUR OWN BACKUP.
If you want to experience the amazing powers of Jon Stanton then check out his website at www.site-street.com
All's well that ends well.
Wishing you loads of fun and luck.

Tomorrow
Hello again
I got a brilliant quote in my inbox today:
Yesterday is not ours to recover but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.
Lyndon Johnson
It's a reminder that what's done is done and there's nothing you can do to change it.
As long as you learn from every experience, you are sure to develop and grow in a positve way.
Wishing you all lots of learning and some fabulous tomorrows.
Take care.

Success Practitioner
I've just spent 7 days delivering our Success Practitioner programme (run by our sister company Design Your Future). It was an amazingly empowering experience for all. Seeing our delegates transform before our very eyes made it all so worthwhile and fulfilling.
We got great feedback...
"The start of something remarkable"
"This event has been a breakout session. I broke out of myself and became me"
Check out the website if it tickles your fance http://www.designyourfuture.co.uk
Hope to see you at one of our programmes soon.
Take care.

Hello there!
Well I'm back from my very hot (though extremely windy) holiday in Lanzarote, feeling all refreshed and raring to get going.
This year has gone sooooooo fast so I have decided to make some changes, we are here to enjoy life, enjoy the people that we love and to make the best of things, whatever life throws at you. Now - for those of you who know me you may think that this would be an impossible task - though you would be wrong. Change is a choice and I have made that choice - with a little help ;o)
One way I have found to help me along is to listen to Tony Robbins - the guru of positive thinking - you just can't help to feel inspired. I've also been given a sneak preview of an amazing CD set called Dynamic Personal Breakthrough - and this has really helped me focus on ways to change specific areas in my life. They are out soon, though feel free to contact me if you can't wait to get your set!!
So my message to you this week is go out and find something that inspires you - then go out and enjoy life to the full - you deserve it!
Bye for now

DO SOMETHING DAY
Hope you all had a fab Bank Holiday!
Maria is still sunning herself in Lanzarote...lucky thing...and we're all hard at work making things happen. It may be cloudy outside but it's all action in here!!!
Wanted to share a quote with you that was emailed to me today:
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
Theadore Roosevelt
He was a smart guy, don't you think?
So today is 'DO SOMETHING DAY' no matter how small an action...just do something....anything that will get you closer to what you really want in life...go on...you know you want to...so do it NOW!!!!!
Wishing you lots of what you want.

Fuck it!!!!
Thought that might grab your attention!!!
I've just had the most amazing holiday in Italy at a holistic retreat called The Hill that Breathes. Spent a week going Tai Chi and Chi Gung and quite frankly...have never been so chilled out in all my life.
Getting in touch with my chi (energy) has been a truly uplifting experience.
It was my very first holiday on my own - there were 24 other people there so I wasn't technically alone and many of them had travelled on their own too. I met some lovely people and know that some long term friendships have been made.
If you fancy a complete get away from it all experience, the fuck it week at the hill that breathes, really fits the bill.
Must dash....need to have my lunchtime nap ;-)

Glastonbury 2008
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!
I had the best time and whilst we did have one day of rain the rest of the time was sunny.
Yes, it was sunny...yeehah...at last.
I knew my dedication to the festival would pay off sooner or later.
Saw some great bands, danced to some excellent DJ's and saw a drum playing robot....had so much fun.
Must dash....have been really busy since I got back.
Take care.

summer solstice
Hello there
It's the longest day tomorrow so make the most of every second of daylight...cos there's going to be a bit less each day from then on....sorry!!!
On a more positive note...midsummers day always reminds me of stonehenge...which always reminds me of my journey to the Glastonbury Festival.
I'm making my pilgrimage again this year and have been praying for sunshine for the last month. The last two have been very wet and muddy and I think we deserve a dry sunny one for our courage in braving natures elements once again.
I'll let you know how it went when I get back.
Enjoy the sunshine and remember to have lots of FUN!!!!!

it's been a while
Hello there
Apologies for neglecting my blog update duties....I've been so busy working on a new project.
I've set up an additional company called Design Your Future...created to help people change their lives and get more of what they want.
I'm so excited - NLP has been a passion of mine for many years and I've used these tools to transform my business, my relationships, my health, my sports performance....in fact all areas of my life.
Our first Dynamic Personal Breakthrough weekend earlier this month had delegates changing their thinking about the problems in their lives and focusing on what they want.
We have already got bookings for our Practitioner and Master Practitioner programmes in the summer.
If you want to learn more about how you can get rid of the problems in your life and get more of what you really want go to www.designyourfuture.co.uk
The clocks go forward tonight and that means summer is on the way so enjoy those warmer days, those longer evenings and being able to have fun outdoors!!
Take care.
