You do know that you are the 'Captain' of your life, don't you? So here is a little message from a fellow 'Captain' with some friendly advice!!!
What are the 'treasure chests' that you are going towards on your journey? Remember that even though on the open seas, there may be storms and icebergs, with constant focus and keeping your eyes opened - you can reach your various destinations in front of you.
Enjoy Guy Fawke's Night and have another explosive week!!!
The key to acheiving success in your goals - no matter if they are big or small - is to have perseverance!!!
"Perseverance is not a long race, it is lots of small races, ran one after another." - Walter Elliot
Think about what things you are doing this week that may be seeming a little bit challenging at times. How much easier will it be if you just keep pushing yourself just that little bit more and focusing on tackling it one step at a time.
Come with us to the year 2014 and ask yourself - what will I be doing? It's all about focus and going for your goals! So take the time you need this week, to now, take 5 minutes to decide what you are heading towards!
Have a great week

Pay It Forward this week

Hi,
It's that time again - Monday is here!!! Did you have a good weekend? The weekend in the Sharif household involved a lot of relaxing and also some wonderful baking (thanks to my lovely wife!).
I'm a firm believer that you can learn lots of really valuable lessons from so many different sources. Recently, I've been watching some old and new films that were recommended to me, as having a somewhat inspirations flavour to them. Well last week, the film 'Pay it Forward' has it's premiere in our living room and what a film it was!! To me it was the kind of film that really makes you stop and think!!
"Think of an idea to change our world and put it into action." - Pay It Forward - The Movie
So for our weekly dose of inspiration, I suggest that you set yourself a little project, which can be really small in time and energy, however can make such a big difference to yourself and others.
What is one idea that you can act upon - which will change YOUR world this week in some positive way?
Then when you have acted upon it - do it all again but this time focus upon doing something that will have a massive benefit to 3 other people in your life - without asking for anything in return.
Have a truly fantastic week.
Kind regards

What's the difference between reality & imagination?

Hi,
Welcome to another Monday in your life! Whether you are busy working away or taking advantage of the Bank Holiday - I'm sure you are having a great day!
I have had a great start to the week, as I finally pressed 'submit' to our VAT return! That means I can now get my teeth stuck into some more fun and interesting projects. There is a lot happening over here and we look forward to sharing all the exciting news over the coming weeks and months!!
This week's dose of inspiration is focused upon using your imagination!!! Do you know that your unconscious mind can't tell the difference between what is real and what is imagined?!?! That's a scary thought, don't you think?
If you think about it then, if you are ever holding 'negative'' pictures or thoughts in your mind, do you feel really happy and over the moon at that moment of time? - of course you don't!!
"Microsoft's only factory asset is the human imagination." - Bill Gates
When I work with our NLP students and clients - one of the key and simple things we talk about is - to pay attention to what you are focusing upon. As you can change your focus and thoughts instantly and in turn this will change how you are feeling!
So this week, I set you a challenge, which I know you will enjoy. Close your eyes right now and imagine in great detail all the great results and events you are going to have this week!! Remember this is your movie or picture, so create it in the positive way that you want it. Then have fun going out there and making the reality come true!
Have another amazing week.
Kind regards

Hi,
Welcome to another exciting week!!!! Did you have a good weekend? Did you manage to take some time to re-charge your batteries so that you are well prepared for this new week? Well after having delivered our 19th NLP Practitioner course last week in Edinburgh, I decided to really take things easy and so had a very relaxing weekend with Shareen.
When I woke up this morning, with the radio telling me it was time to get up - I listened to the news reporter talking about a very special anniversary today!! Can you believe that it was exactly 40 years ago today that the first man stepped onto the moon?
It still blows my mind when I think about how after setting such a massive and groundbreaking goal, which many thought was impossible, that with total perseverance it was actually achieved!!
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
Neil Armstrong
I think we can all learn from that the famous quote from Neil Armstrong, so ask yourself what giant leap are you going to take this week?
Until next week - have another fun filled and successful week!!!
Kind regards

Welcome to the start of another week and I'm sure it will be another great one for us all.
We are currently over in Edinburgh this week delivering our Intensive NLP Practitioner course with some new fantastic students!! Today they will be creating lots of magic in their lives, by starting to like those previously dreaded activities back at work and in their home life (like presentations; admin work; cleaning ......); get rid of any limiting decision that may have been holding them back from success (i.e. I'm not good enough to do _____ ......) and also changing old bad habits or negative states (such as becoming nervous when promoting themselves or their business to others or getting stressed out when things are getting tough .......). All this and more in one day - as always it will be amazing to see all of the great changes they will have achieved by the end of our 7 days together.
If like me, you are a fan of Harry Potter, I'm sure that you have also been looking forward to this magical week for what will have seemed like ages!! I'm sure the cinemas up and down the country will be filled with people going to see the new movie and getting themselves back into the magical state.
"It's our choices that define us, not our abilities."
J.K. Rowling
So to kick start the week ahead for you, like always, I'll set you a simple little task. Write down and decide what 'magical' choices you are going to make this week to create more success in your life and then go out there and cast your spell (i.e. take action!!).
Until next time - continue to have a fun filled and successful week!!!
