A Wealth Creation Dream Come True

This week a long time wealth creation dream of mine came true….but before I tell you about that, I’ll tell you about my mad exciting week first!

Last Tuesday it was my boy Nelson’s 12th birthday so he, Phoebe and I went to Brighton to their favourite restaurant, Yo! Sushi, where they got through frightening amounts of….you guessed it, sushi, then we all went to see “Fame – The Movie”

This was great not only because I love all that singing and dancing “luvvie” stuff, but because the graduation ceremony gave me the best quotes on success I’ve come across for a while, but how to get hold of it?

I scoured YouTube but the film is too new for it to be up there yet, so I sent out a few tweets and an email to our Money Gym Google groups. It took a couple of days but Carrie Eddins emailed the speech back for me to use in my presentation on success on the “Really Useful Internet Day”

When I thanked her, thinking she must have had it downloaded or something, she said”I walked past the cinema, and thought..if  it ’s screened when I walk past then I will watch it again.. and it was. I watched it missed a bit and then it was immediately screened again!! It was fun in the end!!”

Wow, thanks again Carrie, that’s helpfulness above and beyond the call of duty!  Our google group and the people in it, is amazing.  Just think, if that’s the Silver level group support, imagine what the Money Gym Boardroom google group will be able to do for YOUR business!

Having The Vision | Daring To Dream

In The Money Gym we find that one of the first hurdles our clients have to get over is that of envisaging and then writing down a detailed description of their “Ordinary Tuesday”.

We ask them to write down what they will be doing on an ordinary Tuesday in three years, five years, ten years time, when they have “made it”.  We want details; from the minute they wake up, to the moment they go to bed.

Where are they, what does it look like, how is the décor, which country are they in, what do they do in the morning, afternoon, evening.  Who are they with?  what are the smells, tastes, feelings around them?

It’s a powerful exercise because sometimes, it’s the first time they have ever done any visioning since they were a child – we all do it all the time when we are children (it’s called day dreaming).

Who teaches us as children to tone down the things we dream about doing, being, becoming?

I remember the very exciting day dreams I used to have – I either wanted to be a princess (but that involved marrying a prince then doing what he said, so slight snag there) or a successful business person with a big sunny corner office, in the City of London (my idea of business success was a little corporate in those days, I didn’t realise you could run a business from your spare bedroom).

So children are largely much better at day-dreaming, visioning than we are as adults but some grown-ups retain the ability.  There are also different personality types who are naturally more comfortable with this kind of thinking, and they are called Creatives.  They are found in ad agencies, the corporate world (it’s called blue sky thinking there) and lots of the creative industries like fashion or music.

Key Success Secrets – Part 1 | Introduction

In the early days of my wealth coaching career, I was always very focused on the practical, the down to earth, the “how-to” of becoming wealthy.  I’d read all the books out there on the market on the principles of wealth creation, becoming rich, the power of belief and focus, attraction principles and I was angry and frustrated!

Because none of them told you how to make money!  None of them laid out a step by step plan of  HOW TO ACTUALLY DO IT!

So my first book The Money Gym – which started as an email programme, I was not arrogant enough to think I had a book in me – was written out of that frustration;  I wanted to give you a step by step, logical plan for how to make money and even become rich.

I wrote it as I wanted it, simple, easy to understand, with pictures.  I tried to include (and credit) the best bits of all I had read or heard, from Robert Kiyosaki to Napoleon Hill, from Steven Covey to Mary Hunt, from Gill Fielding to Robert G. Allen, especially where it was helping me and making a positive difference to the way I thought and particularly to the way I acted.
