We are well into the first week of this incredible new year. Some have entered with excited anticipation and others are apprehensive. However, the results you get will be based on one thing and one thing only – you. It is up to you what this year becomes and the results that you gain. It is up to you if you choose to allow the year to cruise by and bask in its ebbs and flows, or if you choose to step it up and create some change that works for you.

Stepping up and creating change does not need incorporate mind blowing actions, it can take the simplest of things to create the biggest of changes. It is all about the attitude, the why and of course the intent behind what you choose to do.

NEWS from the Managing Director

I wanted to this year to be pushed that bit more; that bit further. How am I going to do this? By leading by example of course. I have high expectations of those that I work with and push my clients hard however, I believe personally that I must be willing to do at least the same or go home. So, this is the year that will make the preceding years seem mild.

What do I have in store…

Life is about holistic alignment to self – personal, professional and spiritual; in other words doing something in all areas of my life to create the biggest and most rewarding impact.

This is starting with a 90 day program I have created for myself to achieve five specific goals within this timeframe. I will be keeping a daily log of how I am going, what is going on for me and the barriers I face pushing myself into an uncomfortable place every day. Feel free to join in with me and create your own and enjoy reading about mine as I share that I am human and I have flaws however, I am prepared to step it up to get what I want. Are you?

ON the Business Front:

As a business we are always looking for ways to bring more value to our clients. We are in business because of the clients, because of you. The motivation and goals are to help you first and foremost. Given the way that the economy is we are fully aware of the factors keeping you stuck. Those internally and externally. So, right now (almost literally) we are working on two new programs to provide extraordinary value to you at a fraction of the cost you would expect to pay.

We know we are exceptional at what we do and as such, we decided to create an exceptional program to deliver precisely that. We will be releasing this in the very near future.

Enjoy the start to this incredible year and reflect upon what would make it even more incredible for you… it starts with you and all you need to do is ask for what you want. If you don’t know what you want, ask us and we can help you find out exactly what it is that will provide you with the happiness and success that you want, need and know you deserve!

It is easy to ask others for advice. It is easy to blame them when things don’t work out. It is even easy to throw your hands up in the air, complain that things aren’t working out and demand the answer as to why life is so unfair.

Simply, all of this can be resolved by facing yourself.

There is no doubt that we are all connected on some level, however, this doesn’t mean that we go externally to every person other than ourselves to ask the questions that only we can answer.

The impact of going to others actually puts in you a position where you lose internal control, you are no longer empowered and you begin to question your own judgment. To take this even further, you question whether you should trust what you, yourself, suggest and recommend.

It seems so clear that we should ask ourselves questions for ourselves. However, how many of us firstly get on the phone, facebook, sms or tweet our question out to the world instead of asking ourselves? We all have done it at some point because we believe they may have the answer or we want to share this amazing question with them.

Asking yourself first does not mean that you cannot share your insight and your experience, it merely means that you take back your control allowing you to feel empowered and in a position to trust your own judgment. It allows you to trust you. When you trust yourself, you trust your beliefs, your trust your feelings and you trust that whatever you decide will be with the best intent.

There is another layer to this… many of us go to others because we fear facing ourselves. For whatever reason we have deemed that we, internally, are inadequate or simply it will cause pain if we face/confront who looks back at us.

The question is why you would intentionally want to hurt yourself or set yourself up for failure. Could it be that you don’t trust yourself? Funny how that works isn’t it.

When you embrace you; when you allow yourself to trust you and when you give yourself permission to acknowledge your judgment you truly will experience the liberating sensation of being empowered.
