Welcome to another fun-filled week ahead!! Well after my message last week about seizing opportunities, it just so happened that shortly after that, I was presented with a great and unexpected one!!! I was invited to travel out to South Africa to deliver our Hypnosis Practitioner & Master Practitioner course - so of course I jumped at the chance. I have just finished delivering the course yesterday and really had an amazing time working with some more fantastic students. Before I head back home later tonight, I'm also taking the chance to experience some of Africa's widelife and culture by going on a little excursion!! Last week wasn't all great news though, as like many people, I was saddened by the news of Michael Jackson passing away. I was a huge fan of his since I was a little boy and was so exited about his upcoming London concerts. I can still even remember when my dad helped me climb up a massive tree so I could watch his concert in Glasgow back in 1992!! Even though throughout his years, he had many good and not so good moments, his music was and will always be truly magic! So for this week's dose of inspiration, I thought I'd share the opening few lines from one of my favourite Michael Jackson songs - 'Man in a Mirror'. "I'm going to make a change, for once in my life It's going to feel real good Gonna make a difference, Gonna make it right ..." Michael Jackson - 'Man in a Mirror' Why not also have a think about what positive changes and differences you can make in the different areas of your life this week. As always - have an amazing week. Kind regards Osmaan

Welcome to Monday,
The start of the week is upon us again and what a great week it is looking to be already. As always, our weekly dose of inspiration is here to help you kick start the week ahead and get focused upon achieving the results that you are looking for. For this week, it's all about spotting and taking opportunities. These can be anything - from big to small - that can lead you directly towards your goals or help you get there through a journey of building upon your experience and skills. "Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work." Thomas A. Edison So look out for those hidden opportunities this week and see them for the real potential they could have for you. Have another fantastic week!! Kind regards Osmaan

Welcome to Monday,
I hope you had another fantastic weekend and are enjoying your Monday so far.
For this week's dose of inspiration, I thought I'd share with you a great quote, which demonstrates the importance of seeing past any obstacles you may face in any area of your life.
"There is just a tiny ' and a little space between impossible and i'm possible." Annon
So ask yourself, what have you thought was impossible that actually could be very possible for you to do - by thinking and doing things a little differently?
Have another amazing week!!!
Kind regards
Osmaan

Welcome to another fantastic week,
Here we are again on Monday. I'm sure you had a fantastic weekend and are now already back into the swing of things for the week ahead. I had a fun and productive weekend - celebrating my Mum's birthday; painting & decorating our new home and also eagerly watched the final of the Apprentice last night!!! I also managed to attend an amazing and thought-provoking workshop yesterday by Dr David Hamilton. I've always believed and discuss both during our training courses and coaching sessions, how both our Mind & Body are strongly connnected and have an impact on our overall results!! Well Dr David Hamilton shared with us lots of recent and scientific evidence that proves the existence of this fascinating relationship!! I am currently busy planning and implementing some new & ambitious projects within my business - which I'm looking forward to sharing with you in the coming weeks. However, when setting them as goals, it make me think about two key things that really make the difference in achieving success in whatever we set our mind to do - Patience & Perseverance!!! "Patience & Perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish."
John Quincy I think there are many well-known people out there, who I'm sure we will both agree have achieved elements of great success in their life. However, it's sometimes easy to forget or not even consider the journey they would have taken to get to their goals.
There are countless examples I can share with you ... however here are just a few: The Beatles back in 1962 were rejected by Decca Records!! Beyonce's first group Girls' Tyme lost on American's Star Search, as did Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. Luther Vandross lost the Apollo Theatre's famed Ameatur Night many times before finally winning & then becoming one of the biggest stars of his generation. Jeniffer Hudson, didn't win American Idol, however went onto winning a Grammy, an Oscar and selling millions of records. Even Sponge Bob Square Pants was rejected under various names and costumes over many years before becoming a Nickelodeon Star!!!
I am sure that there would have been times when all of the above would have been disappointed or wanted to give us ..... however the key was they didn't - they had patience and perseverance!!! So this week, what are you going to do to overcome some of your obstacles towards your goals? Have another amazing week !! Kind regards Osmaan

Welcome to June,
Can you believe that May has gone and we are now nearly half way through 2009 already? Well with the lovely sunshine we had over the weekend, let us hope that our summer is now here to stay for a good while!!
We had a fantastic weekend working with our students during their Hypnosis Practitioner course and the fun hasn't stopped, as today we are delivering our new NLP Coaching & Time Line Therapy(TM) Practitioner course down in London too. One of the key things that we will be focusing on during the course today will be about continually coaching yourself towards achieving all your goals and aspirations.
With that in mind, how about you also take some time now to think about one of your biggest goals that you have set yourself? That's right, I'm sure it has given you a little burst of energy even just by thinking about it. I know that at times it can seem like our biggest goals can appear to be bigger than us - however I think that this week's quote illustrates the power of taking action - no matter how small they are!!! "If you think you're too small to make an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito."
Dame Anita Roddick
Go on - take a bite and have another fantastic week! Kind regards
Osmaan
