First things first – Set your goals
Yes we all know that we need to make lists – but I am talking about something different. Goal setting can be an arduous but profound experience. See my Blog called Goal Setting below on how to set SMART goals.
Once your goals have been set, it’s important to maintain momentum and flair!
Don’t be just normal
Aim high and try to stretch above the norm. Imagine yourself as a strong elastic band (not the type you find around a bunch of scallions), a really strong elastic. Imagine stretching that elastic and watch it grow in size – that’s what we do when we learn and grow. There is no limit to our elasticity, because each time we grow, our elastic band regenerates itself to grow more.
If you do not stretch yourself, then what you have set is not Read the rest of this entry »
This is no Joke!
Perception can be the downfall of all great ideas. So your business is suffering lately. Ask yourself how that has come about? Is your answer something like “Well, because of the Recession, of course! Doh (Homer Simpson style)”
Now ask yourself this question – “Am I doing anything different today than I was two years ago?” – If the answer is No, then you are not adapting and being flexible in your business and your approach to your clients. Do you think their needs have changed over the past 2 years? Of course they have. They are looking for more Read the rest of this entry »
A little field-mouse was lost in a dense wood, unable to find his way out. He came upon a wise old owl sitting in a tree. “Please help me, wise old owl, how can I get out of this wood?” said the field-mouse.
“Easy,” said the owl, “Grow wings and fly out, as I do.”
“But how can I grow wings?” asked the mouse.
The owl looked at him haughtily, sniffed disdainfully, and said, “Don’t bother me with the details, I only advise on strategy”.
No-one can really set OUR path for US, as only we know best what is best for us individually.
Take responsibility for yourself, get out of your own way, and become accountable.
Most of all? Enjoy the journey and the wings will manifest themselves.

We All want Freedom.
Freedom from negativity and limiting beliefs.
Freedom from tolerating “second best.”
Freedom from the ties that hold us back.
Freedom and Power to Live The Life we dream of living.
Where is this Power? Does it lie in buying another TV, acquiring the latest thing, keeping up with the “Jones’s”? Will we discover it in our next relationship – within the next person we meet after partying one more time?
Will we catch glimpse of it through the glass of our next drink, find it at the bottom of the pill bottle, or the end of our next cigarette? But are you sure it’s Outside you? Remember Dorothy musing in the Wizard of Oz? “If you can’t find what you’re looking for in your own backyard, maybe you never really lost it at all.”
Perhaps it is within Us?
Maybe it’s been there All The Time?
We all know the answer to that, but sometimes we prefer to continue believing that the Power is outside us, because then we can easily resolve it by buying those great new shoes, or another TV, and don’thave to do all that pesky “inner work.”
So if the Answer, the Power, is There – within Us – how come we haven’t found it yet?
What’s the secret to unlocking it? We need a Key – a key that’s totally unique to us. And we need specific tools and instructions that show us how to create our special and unique key.
BE YOUR OWN LOCKSMITH! Do something positive for yourself TODAY. If you are feeling you have lost touch with the inside (of you), just simply do ONE thing today only for YOU. Does that sound a bit selfish???
Then remember how good it feels, and how you are able to share that positivity with others, because it is contagious. So how could that be selfish?
By being kinder to ourselves, by default we are being kinder to others…

“Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn” – Mahatma Gandhi.
Gandhi’s thoughts resonate with us every moment of every day – we quote him until the proverbial cows come home.
What do you think this quote means?
What does it mean for you?
I certainly believe there is always a different approach to the tomorrow – it links in with the POWER OF NOW. If something doesn’t work out today, we can try a different way tomorrow (after a good night’s sleep). Tomorrow always brings new things, fresh ideas. so if today doesn’t go too well, learn from it and build on it for tomorrow.
And get some sleep!
Talk soon,
Elaine
