Most Important Part?
What’s the most important part of a car?
Did you think ‘engine’?
That’s the most common answer I get when I ask the question.
But it’s not the correct answer.
Tires! you might have also thought.
Not the correct answer.
Are you now thinking the transmission?
Still not the correct answer.
Ah ha, the driver! Nope, still not the correct answer.
The answer is, the most important part of the car is the part that is missing.
With the best engine in the world, the car will not be able to achieve its objective if it had no wheels or the transmission was not working.
What is the part that is missing in your life or business that is preventing you from achieving your goals?

This is the reality for most people, they are not aware of what is keeping them back from their success.
Recently, I was in Toronto, Canada giving a Keynote and I asked the group the same question. Many people...
Do it for the children
(This applies whether you have children or may have children in the future.)
Do you wish that your children live up to their highest potential?
Do you wish that they find their calling, align with their gift and share it with the world?
Do you wish that your children change lives and earn more by starting their dream business?
Bad news! They are less likely to do it if YOU don’t do it.
{Name] Are you the kind of parent who says Do as I say but don’t do as I do?
I am sure by now you know that does not work.
Children do what they see, not what they are told and YOU are their greatest role model.
What are they seeing?
Chances are that they are seeing that you have been wanting to leave your job and start your business for the last 2-5 years.
If you are a woman, there is an 89% chance that your children have been seeing you stuck in your soul sucking job, not getting to your highest potential and simply not happy.
If you are over 35 years, there is an 81% chance that your...

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to move from a neutral or positive state to negative state? Bad driver on the road, someone pisses you off at work, your partner does or says something that irks you. We instantaneously move from a neutral or positive state to a negative one full of anger and rage.
Do you find it difficult to do the reverse, move from a negative state to a positive state in an instant? Gratitude can help.
Quickly changing your focusing from the incident or situation to your gratitude list can quickly shift you from a negative state to a positive state.
More than this, gratitude...

Do you sometimes feel like you are doing, doing, doing but you are not very fulfilled?
Do you feel like you are not where you thought you would be in your money, career or relationship?
It may be because you are not doing what is really important to YOU.
A quick way to figure out what is really important to you is to analyse how you spend YOUR TIME and how you spend YOUR MONEY.
If you have a diary or scheduler, review it for the last month and make a list of what you spend YOUR TIME on starting with the thing you spend you most time on and then the thing you spend the second most amount of time and so on….
If you do not use a scheduler, start using one and track it for the next two weeks and then analyse what you spend most of your time.
If you use a budget or track your expenses, review the last three months and analyse what you spend most of YOUR MONEY on. Make a list, starting with the item that you spend the...
