Money Gym Gold Written Entry - Suzanne Barnett
Dec 31st, 2008 | By NicolaCairncross | Category: Money Gym | CompetitionHi Nicola and all you lovely votees on this fantastic New Years Eve,
I have had two glasses of wine (very nice) and will be downing some champagne shortly, as we all should be to see this wonderful New Year in. I have been mulling over, toying with, cogetating and deliberating whether I should enter this competition or not. And……. finally GRTI (got round to it). Not through procrastination you understand, but through fear, fear of making a fool of myself, fear of stepping out of my comfort zone.
Well, here goes………huge step just been made. Firstly, I am considered to be a successful business women, running a training company that provides IT and Soft Skills training to various companies around the UK. I use mainly freelance trainers as I feel they can provide the best in up to date skills and they are adaptable to a customers needs. They are always fresh and enthusasitc therefore the customers always receives the best possible attention.
As for me, I feel I am the conductor of a very small ochestra ensuring that I find the right people, at the right time and ensure that they deliver the right course for the right organisation. I have also dabbled in Thought Field Therapy, which is a method of tapping on accupressure points that cures fears, phobias, anxieties, stress and many others. However, never quiet got that going as was always too busy on the training company and perhaps should have used it on myself more often. LOL
I would consider myself to be an entrepenuer, not very well educated, lots of common sense and loads of business ideas, and I’m full of fun. I am also the “best mum in the whole wild world” cos my eight year old daughter tells me, so it must be true (tongue in cheek)!
That’s pretty much as it is now - I was dragged up as opposed to brought up, although Mum didn’t do too much of a bad job as I am very well mannered at the dinner table. As for my lowest point, like many there are a few, but I guess for me my worst point has to be June of this year, when I was attacked by someone, which resulted in me having a broken arm and constant pain in my back. It put me into a few months of depression and wollowing in self pity. (Pleased to say I am out of that dark time) and on my way up and forward.
The highest point of my life is the birth of my daughter, I dreamt about her with auburn hair and blue eyes, the dream was very vivid and I was awoken by the pure excitement of the dream, woke up my husband and through tears of laughter told him we were having a little girl with auburn hair and blue eyes. THEN WENT INTO FULL BLOWN LABOUR AAAAGGGGHHH. She arrived……………with a mass of auburn (well gingerish) hair and blue eyes! How spooky.
What appeals most from the 4 wealth highway lanes…………….mmmm, part of my problem that I desperately need coaching with is the lack of decision making, I find that very hard. However, I am already an owner of a business that could be greately improved as we lost a major client last month and now I am practically down to zero income. I need help in gaining control over my finances as I have had considerable credit card debt. I say have had, as I just re-mortgaged my property to pay most of the debt off, which has left around 25K owing and a massive overdraft!!! Property …..I have and am receiving training in that area, but would need further coaching/gudance. Have not invested in shares at all (don’t know anything about it) and finally the internet.
That appeals to me most as it seems that it is possible to set up website(s) and make passive income, I really really want to earn money while I sleep. Really and truly though I want it all and I want to live, and have many belly laughs along the way.
Finally it is not only important for me to learn from YOU Nicola, but for me to pass on the knowledge I already have with the knowledge I will gain from this fantastic opportunity to get the stuff that is in your head into mine (hopefully).
Vote for me please everyone - it is NEW YEARS EVE and you’ll all have fun watching I promise.

Hi Nicola,
My votes goes to Suzanne, who I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know over the course of 2008 at a number of Gill Fielding property training courses. Suzanne has always impressed me with her zest for life, her drive and determination and her willingness to learn new skills. She is not only eager to learn how to improve her own situation but is even more keen to pass on any new knowledge she aquires to others.
I know that Suzanne is destined to acheive great things in 2009 and having you as a mentor for a year, Nicola, could be the catalyst to making the first crucial step and giving her many plans direction and focus. Investing time with Suzanne would be like “paying it forward” as she would be guaranteed not only to apply the knowledge she would gain to her own life but would enthusiastically use her training skills to pass benefits of her Moneygym experience on to friends and aquaintances.
Wishing Suzanne a very successful 2008.
Best wishes,
Shona

I am fortunate that I have come accross many many different tyoes of people in both the work and social environments and I have met few as enthusisatic and determined as Suzanne, she knows where she’s going and pretty much how she is going to get there. Sometimes her map has a coffee stain in just the wrong place and she looses her way but I for one belive that she has the determination and drive to find her route again and stick to it. On a personal level Suzanne is a lovely lady, open, friendly and honest, very much a what you see is what you get. - GFI (go fo it) Suzanne and good luck!

My vote goes to Suzanne
I am very fortunate in that I can count Suzanne as a very dear friend. As I also work for her I can say that she is without doubt the best boss you could wish for!
Suzanne is destined for many great things and 2009 will be her best year yet. She is a very determined and extremely enthusiastic person and has a huge sense of fun. I can honestly say that no one deserves it more than Suzanne.
So good luck Suzanne and lots of love from your little helper Clare

I too would like my vote to go to Suzanne.
I have known Suzanne for a number of years and in all that time she has not only had lots of drive and business acumen but, more importantly, has always been very willing to listen to new ideas, points of view and take constructive criticism on board without taking offence. Following on from this she has been more than generous with sharing her knowledge and experience, when requested.
In my opinion she, and others with whom she will come in to contact, will benefit from the mentoring that you could provide to her, as her generous nature and enthusiasm for life will ensure that the Moneygym principles will be passed on to others.
All the best Suzanne
