As we’re about to cross into a new decade together, I thought I’d share this free step-by-step goal setting guide, so that you can begin to clarify and focus on creating a great 2010 for yourself.

I was having a coffee a couple of days ago, when I over heard a couple arguing over their teenage son – apparently the woman thought he was going off the rails and was arguing that they should both be harder of their son to make him tow the line – whereas the guy thought they should go easy to avoid driving their son away – this seemed to just pour fuel on the women’s anger…
I don’t know anything about the truth in their perceptions of the dangers to their son but I could see that not only where they going round in circles getting angrier and angrier with each other and getting no closer to influencing their sons behaviour in the direction they wanted.
They stood up to leave, glaring daggers at each other as they set off for the door, the women gave me a smile and the man following behind gave me a palms up, “What can you do?” look.
Fear can be a good thing because it can keep you alive, but the key to working and playing in potentially dangerous environements is not just a lack of fear, or mindless confidence it is developing the ability to understand and manage the risks assoicated and learning to manage your “fear”.
If you’re looking for total confidence make sure you pack your thermals ;o)
Do you struggle to get motivated and follow through on what you think you should get done?
Have you ever wondered why that might be?
If you’re sick of trying to figure this out logically, then maybe it’s time to consider another approach as you recognise that most of your decisions on what you’re going to do are not logical!
The truth is whether you recognise it or not yet, you tend to make decisions at an emotional unconscious level and then switch on the logic to try and convince yourself you made a good decision.
These emotional drivers are very powerful and today I’m going to look at one of the most common traps that people fall into when considering what they should be doing. Read the rest of this entry »
So why do so many people feel guilty taking some time off to have some fun?
Yesterday I logged a post on Facebook, through Twitter saying I was finishing touches to my thoughts for my outcomes session @ NLP Northallerton group last night.
One of my Facebook friends joked that the fact that you are on Facebook is a form of procrastination.
This really got me thinking…
Is socialising and keeping up with friends on line just a new form of procrastination or could be a great way to be more productive?
Are you someone who dreams big? Or are you too busy just getting by?
People who get stuck procastinating often don’t realise it’s only because they are acting like a bird or a worm.
Want to know how this could be holding you back?
When it comes to where people choose to pay their attention it seems some of us prefer to be busy, busy busy always taking some form of action while others tend to think in grand visions, goals and dreams that they will achieve “one day”.
But how specifically is this a problem and what to do about it?
Would you be surprised to hear that one of the most empowering things you can do to take control of your life is to admit that you have almost no control?
Now this might sound strange coming from someone who is dedicating his time to helping you to take more control and empower yourself to overcome those bad habits and create a life you love.
It’s happened again, the New Year’s begun and the gyms are bursting with people who have decided to get fit and or lose weight.
People were queuing to get into our local gym yesterday evening and when I mentioned this to the physiotherapist this morning he said; well everyone knows that by the end of February it’ll be quite again.
It seems that the moments such as the coming of a new year, significant birthdays, the end of relationships etc. when we “wake up” to the passing of time in our lives many people decide they want to take action on turning their lives around. Read the rest of this entry »
