What is your dream?
Hi,
How are you?
Today is a glorious day! I listened to Martin Luther's 'I Had A Dream' this morning and felt the POWER and reconnected to my dream, passion and purpose! All doubt and fear squashed! Yes I loose my way sometimes too!!
I am feeling so pumped up!
Life is glorious and everything we desire is waiting for us! We just need to have faith, determination, belief that what we desire is ours and that God/ the Universe is working with us to make our desires a reality!
What is your DREAM?

What support/information do you need/want?
Hi Everyone,
How are you this morning? I went for a run this morning and I was thinking of you!

I really want to provide meaningful and relevant information for you, so let me know what you want! I am here for you!

My 'Baby' is Standing. Soon she will be Walking!
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
Just wanted to share that my web designer and I met this week and we are working on my new www.passionstoprofitability.com website. At the moment passions to profitability is just a page. Over the next few months, 'she' will grow into a website. This is so exciting!
As my book The Anmazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom is ready! Yes, my book is ready! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. In a few weeks, it will be available on Amazon too!
As friends, family, clients, workshop participants are all excited about reading my book The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, the web designer and I will focus on the book page first, so you can order the book! This should be ready by the end of August!
The journey of writing, editing, and publishing my book has been Amazing! It's taken longer than I thought it would (I always want things done yesterday). I now realise it has taken the time it was supposed to! (My 'baby' was crawling - no baby just gets up and starts to run right away!)
(A slight detour - My sister Dora recently had a baby, my niece Fallon. Fallon is now 10 months old and I have watched how she started to crawl (backwards at first), and then started to have confidence to stand and now is being adventurous in walking, as she holds on anything she can to steady herself). Watching her has reminded me, that things take time and there is a process!
I will be sending you progress reports, as my 'baby' The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom progresses from crawling and starts to get ready to take her first steps!

What light will you create for people to search for?
Hi,
I just read this beautiful story posted by Michael on LinkedIn
It’s from a book called “Jacob the Baker: Gentle Wisdom for a Complicated World” by Noah ben Shea. What a GREAT title!
It’s about a “simple” baker who leaves little stories for people to find in the bread he bakes. Anyway, one of the stories is called, “Death is Also a Door”
Here it is:
Two children who had become dependent on Jacob, were concerned about what they would do as he grew older and one day died.
Jacob, sensing this, drew the children near and told them this story:
“Once there was a student who was with a teacher for many years. And, when the teacher felt he was going to die, he wanted to make even his death a lesson.
That night, the teacher took a torch, called his student, and set off with him through the forest.
“Soon they reached the middle of the woods where the teacher extinguished the torch, without explanation.
“’What is the matter?’ asked the student.
“This torch has gone out,’ the teacher answered and walked on.
“‘But,’ shouted the student, his voice plucking his fear, ‘will you leave me here in the dark?’
“‘No!’ I will not leave you in the dark,’ returned his teacher’s voice from the surrounding blackness. ‘I will leave you searching for the light.’”
In your amazing race, what light will you create for people to search for?

The Power of Words
Hi,
I hope you like poetry. This poem expresses for me when we are at peace with ourselves, know our abilities and trust ourselves to follow our dreams.
'The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life' Love After Love Derek Walcott
Does this resonate with you?
You will feel like this as you embark on your amazing race!

Interview with a Successful Entrepreneur
Hello,
How was your weekend?
I had a great time. Had a business meeting and a coaching client on Saturday during the day and in the evening visited my sister and my lovely niece.
Sunday visited my sister again and then I watched world cup final.
Last week I attended a live interview with a successful Trinidadian entrepreneur Arthur Lok Jack (see bio http://www.nalis.gov.tt/Biography/ArthurLokJack.htm) and I thought I would share with you a summary of the information received at the event - over the next few days.
There are 2 ways to grow a business: Organic and Inorganic Growth
Organic Growth
- Increasing your top line (revenue/sales): through increasing your market share in existing markets - either finding new customers and/or selling more to existing clients
- Business growth: Introducing new products, going into new markets
Inorganic Growth
- Through mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
M&A help you to have rapid growth, as purchasing/joining with an existing business with existing clients.

Don't deny yourself the joys of life
Hi,
I subscribe to Jane Powell's daily meditation. http://www.meditationsforwomen.com/meditations/?p=1640&cpage=1#comment-2158
Here posts are always great.
A quote from today is
“A life without mistakes is lived without joy.”
Too many times we get trapped by FEAR! We need to let loose and step forward and enjoy the experience of living life to the full!

Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself!
Hi,
I was recently listening to an Anthony Robbins CD, who stated 'Stop Shoulding all over yourself!' and I wanted to share the following thoughts with you......
I believe everyone wants to live a life that they deserve and desire, no matter the gender.
We all have choices, even if the choice is to do nothing. People need to stop blaming other people for what is happening to them.
Most people will do more to avoid pain, than to obtain pleasure.
When we make something a MUST, rather than a SHOULD. We act differently, we take charge of our lives or the situation and we make change happen.

Whose Life are you Planning?
Hi,
Here's a great quote from Mia Reddick, the Mom Strategist, a dear friend and business associate....
"Are you spending your time evaluating, living and planning your own life? Or, evaluating, living and planning the lives of others? The choice is yours?"
Did that make you sit up?
OK, so what choice are you making? The only lives you can change is your our OWN!!!!
So stop wasting time and put your energies into your own Amazing Race!

I love it when a plan comes together!
Hi,
I hope you had a great weekend, I did! I spent the weekend in Tobago, where I took the time to read, relax, reflect, hang out with friends.
As the weekend progressed my mind became freer and freer, so many ideas came to me, so clear and vivid, that I had to capture them (scribbling so fast and intently, my boyfriend Dereck, asked 'what are you writing?')
Ideas and concepts that were previously disjointed all came together, at last my vision was complete and the major milestones along the path! - the dots were all connected, it was/is an amazing feeling!
I could/can clearly see the future, fulfilling my purpose in this life - how I am to help people create the life of abundance that they deserve and desire, to turn their passions into profits, to make an impact that will positively impact generations to come.
I felt and feel truly blessed to be given this role in this life!
One of aha moments came from reading the book the Tipping Point - by Malcolm Gladwell. Reading it 'tipped' me!
I have to thank Donna Price for my reading this book. Donna has started an Entrepreneurs Book Club on Facebook and the Tipping Point was the book chosen for discussion.
I have had this book for 4 years and had not read it (I love to buy books and buy faster than I read) until this weekend. I could not put it down! I finished it.
Once you have a vision or intention, you will see opportunities around you soooooooooooo clearly, but you must have at least part of the vision, to know that what is available to you can help you on the road to success.
If I did not have part of my vision crafted, I would have missed the cues in the Tipping Point.
I know I am rambling... so what am I sharing with you...............
1. Spend the time to visualise the life and business you want to create, really believe it, see it, smell it.
2. Create an action list of things you can do this week, to start or move along your own amazing race to entrepreneurial freedom.
3. Read the Tipping Point, it is an Amazing Book.
4. Join the Donna's book club discussion see call im details on facebook page- Entrepreneur's Book Club

Are you really comfortable?
Hi Everyone,
How are you today?
I was thinking about comfort zones today and pondering are they really comfortable?
I love poetry (I did English literature A level at school), so I looked for a poem on the subject. I liked this one.
MY COMFORT ZONE
By Author Unknown
I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn't fail.
The same four walls and busywork were really more like jail.
I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before,
But stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.
I said it didn't matter that I wasn't doing much.
I said I didn't care for things like commission checks and such.
I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone,
But deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
What are you longing for? What one thing can/will you do to turn the key of your comfort zone jail cell and to start or continue on your amazing race?

It starts with a Dream!
Hi Everyone,
For those of you who have been with me for a while, will know that I really believe that dreaming is a really important component in achieving the life you deserve and desire.
Visualization is extremely powerful, it brings clarity, passion, belief all together. One of the first things I do with my coaching clients, is to have them visualize what they want in 5, 10, etc years.
They normally start off uncertain and then slowly the words and ideas start to flow, they start to smile and their body relax as they become more immersed in their thoughts and feelings.
It is wonderful to watch, as they allow themselves to see, feel and understand what they truly want for their lives (career, romance, business etc)
What are you dreaming about? Do you want it to be a reality or just a dream? Believe that it will be a reality!
If you want it to be a reality, what one thing can you do tomorrow, to get you closer to the dream? It can be something small, e.g. make a call, do some research, put your ideas down on paper, create your vision board etc.
Do something, take the first step!
I was sent this great video last week, so I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

It's YOUR Race - So set your pace and get going!
Hi Everyone,
How are you today?
Received this great quote from a dear friend and business associate, Claudine Struck:
'Life is not a race against other people. It is a one man race. You determine the destination, the route, the time limits and the prize. We are all running a different race.'
The whole concept for my book, 'The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom', is that you are racing/moving towards your own goal(s), not competing against anyone else.
What beliefs are holding you back right now - FEAR of failure, success, embarrassment, security? How is this fear standing in your way of the amazing life you desire and deserve?
Imagine yourself at the end of your amazing race, what would your life be like, how would you feel, what do you see around you, how different would your life be? Hold this vision, thoughts, feelings, put yourself there in the future and then decide on your next step and commit to making that step by Friday.
It does matter where you are on your journey, dreaming/idea stage; at the starting line; part way through or nearing the finish line? Wherever you are what one action can you take by the end of the week, to move you closer to your goal?
It's all for the taking, you just have to tap into your passion, vision, empowering beliefs, commitment to your action and then ACT!
Get moving...I am here to support you!

I wanted to share this with you.
'A professor begins his class by holding up a glass with some water in it for all to see. He asks the students, "How much do you think this glass weighs?"
'50gms!' '100gms!' '125gms' students answer.
1.3393757096
"I don't know unless I weigh it," the professor replies, "but, my question is:
What happens if I hold it up like this for a few minutes?"
'Nothing' ...the students say.
'What happens if I hold it up like this for an hour?' the professor asks.
'Your arm will begin to ache' says one student.
"You're right. What happens if I hold it for a day?"
"Your arm may go numb, you may get severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to the hospital!"
ventures another student. The other students laugh.
"Very good," the professor says. "But during all this, would the weight of the glass change?"
'No' they all reply.
"Then what causes the arm ache & the muscle stress?"
The students are puzzled.
"What could I do to relieve the pain?" asks professor.
"Put the glass down!" yells one student.
"Exactly!" says the professor.
"Life's problems go something like this: Hold them for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK. Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache. Hold them even longer & they begin to paralyze you. You will unable to do anything."
"It's important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, but EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to 'PUT THEM DOWN' at the end of every day before you go to sleep!"
"That way, you are stress free, you wake up every day fresh & strong, able to handle any issue, any challenges that comes your way. So, when you leave office today...Remember my friends...
PUT THE GLASS DOWN!"
I have had quite a few revelations in the pass few weeks and one of the things I have to put down is 'control'. Trying to control situations is actually stopping me from completing my amazing race!
What do you need to put down, RIGHT NOW, to continue on your amazing race?

What resources do you have, that can help to move you forward?
Hi Everyone,
I just read this and loved it!!
Quote of the day: 'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.'
To keep moving in your amazing race, you need to be resourceful!
I decided today, to re look at my marketing strategy, I buy books all the time. More than I can read at the moment!! Anyway, I decided to pull a few books off the shelves to see what other ideas I could incorporate.
My book The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom has great ideas too - plug plug!!:)
I really believe that no one has all the answers, therefore I suggest that you use what is available to you, to move you forward and build your knowledge bank.
What can you use around you to put to good use to move you closer to your dream?
Bye for now!
Gina

What is Wisdom?
Hi Everyone,
How are you today?
I was exercising with my dear friend Margaret last week and swapping stories of things that had happened or were happening to us. We commented on how rich the conversation was.
After I pondered on our conversations and thought how wise we were. I then thought...what makes us wise? What enables us to have wisdom?
This is my thought -
'The combination of knowledge, experience, internalising the learnings and understanding the overall meaning of what occurred and why it occurred.' This is what wisdom is to me.
What wisdom have you acquired that you can put to use on your amazing race?

Strengths - Everything in Moderation
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
I have been working flat out on a proposal that will be submitted tomorrow. It has been an exciting and time absorbing process. I am learning alot in this process too.
This proposal has taken priority at the moment!!
One of my strengths is that I am very focused, but our strengths are also our biggest weaknesses, so I have not been focusing on other things!!!
What are you strengths? Are you using them to support you or are your strengths holding you back form your Amazing Race?
I have a really great feeling about this proposal!

Power of Collaboration
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
I just wanted to share a few things with you today.
My dear friend Hueina Su, had a book launch this Thursday and became a best selling author on Amazon in 2 categories!!!Intensive Care for the Nurturer's Soul hit #1 on Amazon in Home and Community Health, #1 in Home and Community Care. She is so excited.
Congratulations Hueina!
What enabled Hueina to accomplish this great achievement was not only writing an amazing book, but also realising that in order to reach her goal, she needs help/collaboration from others.
Many times when we are faced with a challenge/goal etc, we feel that we must go it alone. This is not necessary. We have so much support friends, family, colleagues, teachers, coaches, neighbours etc, that we can tap into. But most of the time, we do not ask!
Fear of rejection, fear of looking desperate and vulnerable can stop us from asking, but these fears also can stop us from achieving!
Years ago that was how I lived my life, not asking anyone for help or guidance. I was tough, could not show vulnerability!
But thank God, through my quest of self discovery, being coached, etc I have let go of those fears and am able to ask for help, guidance, direction, support etc and life has become so much easier!
I was talking to a coaching colleague the other day and he said something I want to share.....'The more vulnerable I am, the stronger I become!' Oh how true!
The other day, I was struggling with something and I shared my thoughts with two colleagues, I decided to be 'naked' in front of them (i.e not literally, but shared my thoughts and frustrations- just in case you had visions of me naked in the office) and one of them helped me to see new perspectives.
When he left the room, the other person I was with, got up and kissed my cheek and said with tears in her eyes, she said 'thank you for sharing, I needed to hear what you said and you have really helped me!'
In a coaching session with a client last week, a client shared that she was going through a tough time personally and needed more support from her husband. Normally she would do everything herself (Super mum!), but she NEEDED help! So she asked! and guess what happened? Her husband is helping! Should he have helped without her asking, maybe. But that is not the point here. She asked and she received!
The points I am making are: if you need help on your Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, A more fulfilling career, a happier life, whatever your Amazing Race is.....you do not have to do it alone. The help you need is right there, you just have to ask!
So who will you ask, this week to help you on your Amazing Race?

When Enough is All You Need
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are having a productive day. I am!!!
I received this today (I decided to have a quick break and cheek my emails. I will be off once I have sent you this - promise!) and HAD TO SHARE IT!
'Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together
at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security
gate, they hugged, and the mother said,'I love you, and I pray you enough.'
The daughter replied, 'Mom, our life together has been more than enough.Your love is all I ever needed. I pray you enough, too, Mom.'
They kissed, and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window
where I was seated. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy, but she welcomed me in by asking, 'Did you
ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?'
Yes, I have,' I replied. 'Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever
good-bye?'
'Well...I'm not as young as I once was, she lives so far away & has her own busy life. I have some challenges ahead, and the reality is - her next trip back will be
for my funeral,' she said.
'When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I pray you enough.' May I ask what that means?'
She began to smile. 'That's a prayer that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.' She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and she smiled even more. 'When
we said, 'I pray you enough,' we wanted the other person to have a life filled with
just enough good things to sustain them.'
Then, turning toward me, she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory.
I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the
day may appear.
I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
Then, she began to cry, and walked away.
They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them, but an entire life to forget them.'
I PRAY YOU ENOUGH courage to start or continue on your Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom.
I PRAY YOU ENOUGH discomfort to make the start or the continuation of your Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom a MUST!!!
I PRAY YOU ENOUGH!!!!
Have an amazing day!

How badly do you want it?
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are enjoying your Easter.
My parents brought me up to believe that if you want something badly enough, that you can see it, taste it, feel it, smell it, it would be yours! This was an extremely powerful belief and growing up, I thought everyone knew that! But as I got older, I realised, that my parents had blessed me and my siblings with this powerful belief!
I came across this today and wanted to share it with you.

So what can you see, taste, feel and believe in so much that it will be?

How is your Easter break panning out?
I just thought I would share a testimonial for the book with you!
“Georgina Terry has written a book that easily shifts between passion and pragmatism. Terry takes us on a journey akin to training for a marathon, demonstrating that like a 26.2 mile race, you need head, heart and stamina to get to the finish line. I like the pragmatic approach of focusing on what the would-be entrepreneur needs to consider before starting a business. Terry's stories, well-placed quotes and exercises help demonstrate appropriate techniques as well as motivate action. Clearly Georgina Terry has a passion for her subject and the people she aims to train for The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom. A must-read for anyone who dreams of owning and operating their own business...before they run their first mile.”

CONCEIVE, BELIEVE and ACHIEVE!
Hi Everyone,
Based on concept in Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill - Through my power to conceive and believe, I was able to achieve!
When studying for my accountancy exams back in 1992, the Virgin group of companies were used as an exemplar in the marketing strategies course. By learning more and more about the group of companies, I decided that I would meet Sir Richard Branson (not sure if he was a Sir back then). Yes DECIDED! I did nor know how or when. I just knew in my heart and soul that I would!
In my book The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, I share with you, how this thought that was conceived and believed was ACHIEVED!
What have you been able to conceive, believe and achieve?

I Stumbled.....but I am up again and moving!
Hi Everyone,
It has been 18 days since I received the proof of my book and guess what?
I have not been focused on getting the final proof reading completed. I was going to do the final proof reading myself but then decided that it needed new eyes!
But I have been very slow in finding the resource to help me do this!
Luckily, I have shared the journey of my first book 'The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom' with several of you and therefore I have recently started getting questions like...
'Gina, where is your book?'
'When is the book launch?'
'Where can I get a copy?'
'When will the book be published?'
At first I started to feel embarrassed, as I had not achieved my stated publishing date, but then I looked at the situation differently (my perspective changed!). Rather than feel embarrassed, I am glad people are asking me - it has helped me refocus and gain more energy to reach the final line! My supporters are cheering me on! What a lovely sound!
So, I should have confirmed who will do the final proof reading for me by today and then I will get in contact with the book designer to make the necessary changes, then send the changes to the publishing company and then there will be only about 0.2 miles ( the last strength of the marathon) to complete and then my 'Amazing Race' to publishing my first book will have been achieved!
I feeling really energized again! It feels GREAT!!!
So, what finish line are you be running towards? What can you do to re-energise yourself? Do you need to visualize yourself crossing the line? Do you need to help from your supporters? Do you need to plan you route to the finish line and then just take a step a day?
You are amazing and you can complete your own Amazing Race! Run, walk, crawl, it does not matter, just keep moving! We can stumble and even fall! That is ok. If this happens dust yourself off and then keep moving! That's what I did!

Hi Everyone,

Amazing Opportunities in 2010 - Sir Richard Branson
Hi Everyone,
I am leaving for a business trip to Ghana tomorrow. Several meetings have been arranged. I am also attending the 2010 Opportunities Conference http://www.modernghana.com/news2/261204/1/opportunities-2010-conference-the-big-conversation.html where Sir Richard Branson will be speaking! Sir Richard is one of my entrepreneurial role models!
It is the intention of our team going to Ghana, that we meet and talk to Sir Richard, in order to set up a further meeting with him to discuss some amazing business opportunities. So, I am really excited!
I met Sir Richard in 2006 and we had a quick chat. Meeting him was a great moment in my life, not just having the conversation with him, but it also was a real demonstration of what the power of the mind, passion, vision and unwavering belief can achieve!
The details of my journey to meeting and talking with Sir Richard is included in The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom.
For those of you who have attended events where I have presented, you will know the story. For those of you who have not....get the book when it comes out! It is a great story!
Who are your role models? What do you admire about them? How are you using their journeys experiences to help you on yours?

Let's All be Coffee
Hi Everyone,
How are you? I am currently working on a business proposal for a NGO to help them develop an operational plan. During my break, I read this and wanted to share it with you.
Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee
A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up, She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose..
Her mother took her to the kitchen.. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil.
In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans . She let them sit and boil; without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.. Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me what you see."
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.. The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg.
Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked, "What does it mean, mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity: boiling water. Each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior, but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however.. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
What do you need to let go of to move yourself and your business forward? What do you have to change perspective, procrastination, environment in order for you to live a 'coffee' filled life?
What one small step can you take to move towards your Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom?

Take the Shot!
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
I just read this on Joesph McClendon's Facebook page and wanted to share it with you!
'Jay Calaghan says..."People don't fail because they aim to high and miss. They fail because they aim to low and hit." Even when you shoot for the stars, the worst that usually happens is you land in the trees. Having said all of that most people don't take the shot. Ready aim. ready aim, ready aim... TAKE THE FREAKIN SHOT'
What are you doing to take the SHOT?

Opportunities
Hi Everyone,
I really enjoy listening to the BBC World Service on the radio while I driving around town, they have some really interesting interviews. (Growing up, I thought the BBC was boring... funny how perspective change!)
Last week there was a great interview with an American Billionaire called David Murdock, owner of Dole Foods. He has a really interesting story, I thought you might like to hear it.

Are you Ready and Available?
Hi Everyone,
I hope you having or had an amazing weekend!
Today, I went to church for the christening of a dear friend's baby girl.
I must admit, I have not been to church in a while. I remember as a kid, I would not really pay attention to the sermon, but as an adult, when I do go to church, I make a point of really listening and there are some great messages!
Today the priest spoke about 'being ready and available' to do God's work. He said that once we open ourselves up and 'are ready and available' God's grace will help us on that journey. We will acquire what we need, when we need it.
I thought about this in the context of getting ready to start a business. Once you put aside our fear, tap into who you are, connect to your passion, you will be ready and available you we will equipped with what you need to succeed.
The priest when on to say, that when we are ready and available, all we need to say to get started is 'I am Here. The Lord sent me' I thought this was very powerful.
If you have a business idea, that you have been carrying around for a long time, what do you need to do, have in place to be READY and AVAILABLE and have the courage to say ' I AM HERE. THE LORD SENT ME?
I had written down at the beginning of this year during a seminar that I would write a book some day, but I did not really give it much thought. But it seems that I was READY and AVAILABLE, even before I knew I was. When I decided to write The Amazing Race to Entrepreneurial Freedom, it seemed like the most natural thing to do! It feel easy, I accepted the fact that I was ready and available, rather than questioning if I should or got!
Sooooooooooooooooo are you ready and available, if yes, what will you start? Don't fight the feeling, you know the time is now, for your AMAZING RACE TO ENTREPRENEURIAL FREEDOM!

Income Streams
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
When you have a business or better still when you are designing the business consider creating different streams of income. One of the ways I am starting to generate additional income is through speaking events. I will be speaking about 'The Audacity of Passion' in April on a Cruise. http://www.findingdefinitions.com/momcruise
Once you have different streams of income you are diversifying and therefore not only increasing your potential income, but also spreading your risk, by not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Are you still dreaming about your business or your next business venture or have you started your preparation?
If you have congrats, if not, what is stopping you? What one thing can you do today, to move your business or new venture forward? It does not have to be a big step E.g put your thoughts down, make a call to find out some info, contact a potential client, work out your finances, create a list of your skills that will support the business or venture. One small step!

Global Employment Trends - ILO
The number of jobless worldwide reached nearly 212 million in 2009 following an unprecedented increase of 34 million compared to 2007, on the eve of the global crisis, the International Labor Office (ILO) said in its annual Global Employment Trends report. Based on IMF economic forecasts, the ILO estimates that global unemployment is likely to remain high through 2010. In the Developed Economies and European Union unemployment is projected to increase by an additional 3 million people in 2010, while it will stabilize at present levels, or decline only slightly, in other regions. The ILO also said the number of unemployed youth worldwide increased by 10.2 million in 2009 compared to 2007, the largest hike since 1991. At the same time, the ILO report shows wide variations in the employment impact of the crisis between regions and countries as well as in labor market recovery prospects. The report says that coordinated stimulus measures have averted a far greater social and economic catastrophe; yet millions of women and men around the world are still without a job, unemployment benefits or any viable form of social protection. “As the World Economic Forum gathers at Davos, it is clear that avoiding a jobless recovery is the political priority of today” said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. “We need the same policy decisiveness that saved banks now applied to save and create jobs and livelihoods of people. This can be done through strong convergence of public policies and private investment.”

The ILO also said the number of unemployed youth worldwide increased by 10.2 million in 2009 compared to 2007, the largest hike since 1991. At the same time, the ILO report shows wide variations in the employment impact of the crisis between regions and countries as well as in labor market recovery prospects. The report says that coordinated stimulus measures have averted a far greater social and economic catastrophe; yet millions of women and men around the world are still without a job, unemployment benefits or any viable form of social protection. “As the World Economic Forum gathers at Davos, it is clear that avoiding a jobless recovery is the political priority of today” said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. “We need the same policy decisiveness that saved banks now applied to save and create jobs and livelihoods of people. This can be done through strong convergence of public policies and private investment.”

Do it now!
Hi Everyone,
I am on a roll today. Three posts in one day! Yes, I have missed you!
Already many opportunities are appearing for me in my life and in business. I took the time to see, feel and believe what I truly wanted this year. And it happening!
What opportunities are you opening yourself up to this year?
What do you really want to happen in your life in 2010?
Have you created your list of REAL wants. Not a wish list, but things you really WANT, can see, taste and truly BELIEVE that you will receive?
If you haven't, then get going!
Allow your self to push beyond your fear and all yourself to see, hear and feel the future you want.
Do you want to start a new business?
Change career?
Visit your favorite destination?
Meet your lifelong partner?
Have x amount saved - in order to be financially successful!
Work out what you want and then open yourself up to take action and seize the opportunities when they come to you!
You deserve it.
Bye for now

There are no regrets!
Hi Everyone,
I was supposed to be participating in today's Trinidad marathon, my
first!! But due to my hamstring injury, this was not to be!! This could
have been a very sad day, but it is a great day! 2 weeks I held a
workshop with two associates and this sparked great interest and we
were contacted for an interview with one of Trinidad's
national newspaper for a feature article. The article came out today
and this has made me smile and helped today be a special day full of
great opportunities and possibilities, rather than one of regret!

New Year....New Behaviours!
Hello Everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
So, it’s New Year’s resolution time again!!! Or have you given up because they are never achieved?
Have you ever thought about why your New Year’s resolutions are not often achieved? Especially when we have such good intentions:
o Loose weight
o Find a new job
o Change career
o Start a new business
o Get closer to family
o Make more money
o Save more money and the list goes on!!!
So what are we doing wrong?
Are we mad? Possibly!!! Do you know what the definition of madness is? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
How many of us actually think through what behaviours we need to change to achieve these ‘new’ goals?
If for the previous year you have eaten KFC, huge spoonfuls of rice with every meal, snacked on chocolate and chips and exercise only up to Carnival Saturday, why are you surprised you did not loose weight and if you do the same again this year, guess what? The same disappointment you felt this year, will be felt again!! We don’t need a crystal ball to see the outcome!!!
Also, if you intended to save $50,000 for the last year, but you went to all the Carnival fetes, bought clothes, ate out every week and went on vacations, no wonder you have no savings and owe your credit card company $000s.
So what is the answer?
I have found the missing ingredients!!!!!
BEHAVIOURS!!!!!
B old Statements to
E nhance my life
H abits stopped
A nd replaced with new ones
V isible progress leads to
I deal celebrations
O nce the resolutions are made, I need to
U nderstand the role of friends and family who will be
R eliable and supportive and who will help me to
S ucceed
So decide on the behaviours you need to change and let 2010 be your BEST YEAR YET!!!
Live YOUR Passion
