I always like reading inspirational writing. One thing people get confused on is they think they can read one book or buy one course and that will be it. They’ve made it. In my view it’s a journey. You will keep learning your whole life so you should keep buying books and courses. Your knowledge will increase but also I think you will slowly come to know yourself. I believe that this will then bring you true happiness. Anyway here are my tips to help you on that road:

1. Do Some Exercise: Every day or at least every other day. I like to start the day with some of Matt Furey’s hindu squats. Basically it’s doing a squat but doing it pretty quickly. It’s like sprinting on the spot. It will get your heart going and you can do it all in less than 5 minutes. I can do 100 in around 2 minutes. I try to do 100 morning and night but start off small and gradually increae each day.

2. Commit to one thing you can do today to make a difference. If you have a job then do something different in your job to make a difference. commit to being nice to people for the whole day. Commit to saying hello to people you haven’t said hello to before at work. Start reading a new self help book. buy a book online on e bay or amazon. get a second hand one and save some money.

3. Develop an imaginary mentor. This could be someone you look up to – a highly regarded sportsman, a successful businessman – Tim Lowe, Andrew Reynolds, Richard Branson, Alan Sugar. Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela. Anyone who inspires you. Then when you are feeling down imagine what your mentor would say to you. Imagine talking to them and asking them what you should do next.  Explain to them why you can’t do it and think what they would say
with him. Listen to the answers.

4. Visualize the oucome you desire: Create an image on an imaginary movie screen showing the result you desire. If you build the image in your mind the result will come.

5. Take Action: If you want to change your job then dig out your cv and re work it. if you have no cv then create one. If it’s your business make a list of what is wrong and what is right about your business. What needs to change. what help do you need. what will make it better. Just start and once that wheel is moving it’s easier to keep it going.

6. Give yourself a pat on the back.  Celebrate the results as if what you want to happen has already happened. Believe that it will happen and it will.

Until next time
