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!
Bye for now

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?

Remember to Pace Yourself
Hi Everyone,
No matter what 'race' you are in, you need to take some time to rest or at least pace yourself, if not you will burn out!
I am working on a few client proposals today, but from tomorrow until Monday, I will be spending time with my mum!
What are you plans for Easter?
Whatever you are doing, have an AMAZING time!

Testimonial from Denise Wakeman
Hi Everyone,
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.”
