Believe to achieve

infear — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 19:51:29 +0000

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve!

A saying I have used over and over again and now 100% believe in it. The past few months have been a little crazy on a number of different levels. The key message is that whatever is going on in your world, stay focused on what you want to achieve and you will be rewarded.

The past few months have seen me heading to SA to dip my toe in the water and test the hunger for Goal Mapping – the answer = Hungry! I have delivered a few Goal Mapping workshops and not only have the delegates loved it but I have loved it! (Do whatever makes your heart sing). Happy coaching clients. Affiliate earnings. AND, last but not least, group coaching and faciliation for a corporate in international waters (Europe)! If this is what can be achieved with a lot of focus, a lot of will and a little effort, then I am ready for the next part of this journey!

My blog is back! I am back! Look forward to seeing you on one of the workshops:)

Mothers Day

infear — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:14:35 +0000

What a wonderful day and proof that if you send out the positive and good messages, your will be rewarded and good things come back to you!
Started with a lovely text from son in army saying he loves me, preceded by a beautiful card from my daughter saying the same things!
The sun shines, first day of being able to hang washing outside – great sign of moving towards summer. A regular Sunday morning Skype call with brother in Singapore brought fantastic news and a wonderful offer to fulfil one of my dreams and interestingly, one of my subgoals on my goal map! My subgoal is to work towards getting the whole family together, spread out globally. When setting this goal I had no idea how this would be possible but decided to make it a goal and “put it out there”. Hylton & Leigh have offered me their voyager points that will get me a flight to Sydney in December! My brothers are funding a ticket for Dad to get to Sydney for Christmas too! And, Auckland brother will join in Sydney area, AND this sends positive vibes for Hylton and Leigh to action their move from Singapore to Australia. Now to share with the kids!
And the day got better when going to an Mind, Body Soul exhibition and finding the answer to forking out regular amounts of money for massages…. I now have my own in situ in the lounge for all to use at anytime.
Thank you world – keep smiling

Left and right brain get talking

infear — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:20:29 +0000

It has been a while since I blogged, not because of lack of material…………… loads to talk about

Today is about the course of Goal Mapping Practioner that I enjoyed participating in on the Isle of Wight this past weekend with some amazing people!

Brian Mayne is a complete inspiration! About the same age as me and only learnt to read at 30 yrs and is now training trainers to deliver his goal mapping programme to the corporates…………. excellent stuff. If want something badly enough, you can have it!

Another inspirational and emotional moment was watching Kevin, who has Asbergers, stand up and deliver the most amazing presentation of all of us and yet he is, in theory, the most challenged when communicating!
His ability to do this has been through being introduced initally to Anthony Robbins and more recently to Brian Mayne where Kevin has learnt to work with the right side of his brain, he never even knew that side existed!!

I have given myself 8 weeks in which to make the necessary changes in my own life… those 10,000 people will be totted up really soon!

Sun is shining and I am going to be one of the 3% that go and get life rather than let it happen to you! Take Respons-ability!

Be happy!

10,000 to be reached

Blue Inspiration will reach and touch 10,000 people by February 2015, globally.

Be grateful for what you have

A young friend of mine has been set back in her path by colitis. This has given me a definite wake up call about “yesterday is the past, today is the present and tomorrow is a gift” – take it, use it to the best and be grateful

The benefit of snow

infear — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 18:22:30 +0000

Snow, snow, snow everywhere in the UK. The chaos it has caused for commuters, those travelling back home and to universities for exams, schools are having to reschedule exam timetables, retailers are running out of stock, postman pat is not able to deliver birthday gifts (ah) and invoices (yeah), meetings are cancelled blah blah blah….

So to turn it around, I have had a brilliant weekend.

Yesterday, Saturday, was the only weather window for Lozz to head back to uni, so I took the gap to join her as a passenger for the 3 hour journey where we could have some serious mother / daughter or Thelma / Louise time…. great fun, singing all the way down, hot chips & hot chocolate stop and then to unpack her thousands of packets into the very limited space in her bedroom…. another coffee in her house and then off to the station to enjoy my very own personal 3 hours of reading all the way home on the train! Heaven! Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Abook that I have had on my “to do” list for sometime now…. great book and have made a good head start on it.

A walk home in the snow from the station was interesting, no-one else had dared to venture onto the treacherous pavements, what a joy to have the world to myself…

Today was meant to be a business review with a coaching friend in London, but was postponed due to weather and travel challenges! Yeah, this meant I could focus on my own business plans. Then this afternoon also got cancelled due to parking challenges in the snow and another “yeah” I could focus on my marketing plans…. So Blue inspiration takes a step further towards becoming a household name

So the benefits of snow are: ME time, business building time, catching up with friends on phones and FB, a day all to myself, what a treat after having 8 / 9 people living in the same space for 2 weeks. Thank you snow, you may visit again …..

Have a brilliant week!

Blue Inspiration is born

infear — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 16:01:52 +0000

One would think it is a simple process to select a name for your company, but “oh no it’s not”!

Having been snow bound at home for the past two days, like the rest of the UK, I believe I have spent near 3 hours thinking and then searching for names that are / are not already taken on-line. After asking people for feedback on a final selection of three, Blue Inspiration is the chosen one! Thank you everyone.

So now to register, and work out what it is that Blue Inspiration does.

Activity List

infear — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:59:37 +0000

It is that time of year when we all revisit our values, purpose in life, wishes, wants and “do, be, haves”. I am not excluded from this group of people and even updated my blog with what seems to be 5 new goals to when I started the blog! Well sort of different…

So, to help me stay on track this time I have:
Mind mapped a life and now goal setting pretty picture time line that now has a special place in my cupboard to be viewed each day
Completed a daily action list that outlines my 5 big goals for this year and encourages me to take a small action step towards each of those goals each day

I heard of a great idea today in one of my received emails. As you pack away your Christmas decorations this year, include a list of your top 5 goals for this year, seal them in an envelope and pop the envelope amongst your decorations for you to be surprised and check against in December this year! Enjoy (my decorations are already in the loft as I needed the extra space for boring washing)
