How does 2 +4 = 240?
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
So do you know the answer? The answer is -
When 2 friends are trying to film 4 minutes of video, that takes 4 hours(i.e. 240 minutes)!!! Sorry, it's the accountant in me, number love to show up from time to time.
Yes, that right!! I was filming a few videos clips for my new website. It was fun. We had to do so many takes, we just kept laughing. At I point, I even forgot what my name was.....My name is....?
I kept some of the outtakes and I will share them with you later on.
We really had fun with the process. I now have even more admiration for actors who have to do 2 hour films!!
Once the site is up, I will send you the link.
The important lesson for me was to enjoy the process. Even though it took a long time, we made the work fun, so it felt like play. So we enjoyed ourselves, we were not frustrated, we laughed etc.
So how will you make what you are doing today fun, so that it feels effortless and enjoyable?
Bye for now.

Nine Ways to Achieve Extraordinary Performance in your Team
by Georgina Terry
There are many teamwork definitions, but this is one of my favourites:
‘A tight knit group of competent individuals who care deeply about each other. They are fiercely committed to their mission, and are highly motivated to combing their energy and expertise to achieve a common objective.’
Are you part of a great team?
If you said yes, what makes your team great? What is your contribution to the team’s success? What outstanding results have you been able to achieve together?
If you said no, what are YOU doing that is stopping the team from being great? Yes, we all contribute to our current situations.
Working with a great group of people, creating an amazing bond and achieving great results, is a wonderful feeling.
There are certain qualities that a high performing team exhibits that will enable you to achieve great things. Below are nine fundamental behaviours that can help your team achieve extraordinary results.
1. Totally committed to each other and your overall goal
2. Curious before critical
3. Focused on the hope of success
4. Embrace people for what they bring to the team
5. Everyone accepts responsibly for all that happens – there is a ‘we’ mentality
6. Hire the inspired or inspire the hired
7. There is no room for egos
8. The appropriate leadership style is found to fit the current situation
9. The ‘leader’ in each person is given space to be ‘step up’
Which behaviours does you team already possess? When was the last time you saw these being demonstrated?
And which elements does your team need to demonstrate more on?
What more could your team achieve, if you were consistently demonstrating these behaviours? What would it feel like to work together like this? What would others say about your team?
By having faith and trust in each other, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things!!!

Challenges are Opportunities in Disguise
Hi Everyone,
Have you missed me!!!
I have been hibernating for a while, working through the challenges that this recession has sent my way.
But I have now really come to realize (I say 'really' realize, because I thought I knew before, but didn't fully), that our challenges are really our opportunities in disguise!!
The impact of this current economic climate on me and my businesses is really rewarding!!
I have been rebranding myself, developing gifts for clients, creating new products and services, increasing my technology knowledge and reassessing my business priorities.
For one of my businesses, my business partner and I realised that we had strayed from our core service and this was hurting the overall business and draining our profits.
So we took the decision to let go of the lost making part of the business and concentrate on the core business and since then our business is back on course.
I can honestly say, it has been a refreshing, rewarding, rebirthing and humbling experience, that is allowing me to gain greater strength, clarity, passion and purpose.
What opportunities has this current economic climate brought to you?

Catching the Train
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
I just wanted to share something with you.
I was in Philadelphia for a business meeting on Monday and when I was dropped off at the train station. I realised I was on the wrong platform.
I could see the train in the distance!! I was given instructions on how to get across by fellow travellers!!
I had a really heavy overnight bag, plus I only had 5 hours sleep in two days, so I was really knackered (tired).
I picked up my bag and started to run. As I ran down the platform, the train pulled in and I still had not crossed over. I found energy and strength from within and ran even faster.
Just I approached the stairs, the train conductor said to me, just little bit longer, you are almost there'
I got on the train breathless, but happy, I had made it!!
When I got on the train one of the passengers looked up and said...'You are really lucky, he waited for you, they don't usually do that'.
I said to her...'The world is changing for the better each and everyday'.
I thanked the train conductor when he came to collect payment for my ticket and I made sure, I thanked him again, when I got to my stop.
When I saw the train and decided I was going to do all I could to get it. I could have told myself, 'I won't make it or I'll wait for the next one or He won't wait for me etc' But I didn't I just got going!!
What areas in your life are you catching your 'train'?
What areas of your life are you letting the 'train' go, only to realise that you missed a great opportunity and no one knows when the next 'train' is coming?
What can you do to catch your 'train in life'? What do you need to believe to catch your 'train' to have the life you really deserve and desire?

We Love you Michael!!!
Hi Everyone,
I am sure like you, I could not believe the news I heard today....Michael Jackson is dead!!
I felt and feel so sad.
I told someone the news and their respond was 'how sad. I wonder if he will die, like Elvis died'. On hearing this, at first I was a bit annoyed, as I thought this is about Michael, not Elvis.
But now, that I have had time to reflect, this was a great thing to say, that Michael will live on within us forever. He gave us so much. He is part of our childhood, part of our lives and memories across the globe. His songs bring back several memories from my past. I was blessed to have seen Michael in concert twice.
Events like this remind me to enjoy life, enjoy everyday and to do the best I can do everyday, as we do not know when it will be our time.
I hope that Michael, now has found the peace that he was searching for.
We love you Michael!!!
Bye for now.

Dare to Dream
Hi Everyone,
I am currently at a Leadership Seminar and I heard this great quote from Joesph McClendon III. I am not sure if the quote is originally his, but he quoted it yesterday.
'Those of us who dare to dream while the rest are having a nightmare, stand to inherit prosperity and will lead the world to greatness.'
I thought this quote was sooooooooooooooooooooo powerful!!
Do you dare to dream? Has your dream turned into a vision, that you can feel, touch, smell? Share your vision with someone, let it start to take form and come alive.

If you could turn back time, what event would you change?
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
I just read this and I wanted to share this with you.
'God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED - To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.'
I was watching a movie a few weeks ago '13 going on 30' with Jennifer Garner. The story is of a 13 year old girl, who wakes up and is 30!!!
At first she is loving being older, being able to drink, can go out on a school night and she has boobs!!!
But after a while, she gets to see her life and is not too happy with the person she has become.
She goes to visit her parents (she has not seen them for ages) and asks her mother - 'If you could turn back time, what would you change?' Her mum answers 'nothing', as the events have made her who she is today.
Since seeing this movie, I have asked a few people, what they would change and after some thought, they have answered the same thing, 'nothing'.
I reflected on the question myself and first I thought of at least three major (challenging) events, I would like to change, but after deeper thought, I realised, I too, would not change anything, because those events have made me soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much stronger and made me a better person.
I'll share one with you....getting divorced. Going through my separation and divorce, was heart wrenching at the time, but I became more independent, more adaptive to change and alot more courageous in life. Also this started me on the journey of learning to love myself. PRICELESS LEARNINGS!!!
What have you learnt from your most challenging events? How have they made you stronger?
Bye for now.

Challenges
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
Can you believe that it is the 1st of June already?
How is this year treating you?
It has been a very interesting year for me so far. I went into a slump for abit, 'why didn't I do this before? 'Why did I waste so much time etc etc.' As much as it was a painful period, I am glad I went through it. I am now refocused and using my time more effectively to meet my goals!!!
So, what is your number one challenge at the moment? What is keeping you up at night?
I would love to hear from you.
I have written my first two articles!!! That will be published shortly and once I know what is on your mind, I can write articles that can help you too.

How do you really learn?
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
During a coaching session with a client this week, he reflected on the following:
We learn many things over time (from books, lectures, presenters, TV etc) and then we feel we know the subject. But when you actually experience something, this is when you truly KNOW and have truly learnt, what it is all about. And this is where the wisdom is formed.
What are your thoughts?

Strength or Weakness?
Hi Everyone,
What have you been up to?
I have been really busy in development mode!!! I have been working on my business, rather than in my business (as advised by Michael Gerber from E-Myth).
I have teamed up with a couple of people. We have been working hard on developing our website and creating a survey to send to business owners to understand their thoughts and feelings during this economic climate.
The site will be up in the next few days and I will post a link. It would really appreciate your support in the form of feedback.
This has been a very interesting process....Three strong willed persons working together, wanting to ensure a great product is created. It has been another great learning process for me.
If you heard about StrengthsFinder 2.0 http://www.strengthsfinder.com, you will know that it is an on line assessment created by Gallup. The results from the assessment give you your top 5 talents (your signature theme). These are the top 5 talents you were born with.
It is a great tool, all my clients when they start working with me, take the assessment and it really helps them to understand themselves better and they also have a recipe to help them accelerate their performance.
My top talent is Activator. This is someone who wants things done like yesterday!!! The Activator talent is all about action!!
Once you know your top 5 talents, the purpose is to develop them into strengths (through knowledge and skill).
My Activator is a great talent for moving things forward, but the flip side to this, is that I can be very impatient. Our greatest talents can be our greatest weakness, if we do not turn it into a strength. And I can especially see this coming to the forefront re the launching of the website!!
My top 5 talents are:
Activator - All about action
Relator -Enjoy close relationships with others. Enjoys working with friends to achieve their goals
Individualisation - Intrigued by the unique qualities in people
Achiever - Great deal of stamina and work hard
Focus - Prioritise then act
If you have taken the assessment, please share your top 5 talents.
Bye for now.

Committed Heart
Hi Everyone,
I received this today and I wanted to share it with you.
It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true.
“Most people fail at whatever they attempt because of an undecided heart. Should I? Should I not? Go forward? Go back? Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart. When confronted with a challenge the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.” - The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews
Put another way, when you find your true passion (when you are connected to your soul/ or life purpose) and allow yourself to trust yourself, you will succeed.

Do you LOVE the life you Live?
Hi Everyone,
How are you?
You know what, I LOVE the life I live!!! One of the part's of my life that I love, is to help people to tap into their maximum potential to have the careers, businesses and lives they desire and deserve!!!
It gives me so much joy. I truly believe I was born for this role!! I believe that IT IS my life's purpose!!!!!
When I work with clients and they start to transform, it is a joy to witness!!!They look different, they glow, they speak differently, they laugh when they speak, their eyes shine, you can feel their confidence rising!!! And I feel so blessed, that they have allowed me to be with them on this journey.
Here are some of their comments on their experiences......
For example, I have been top producer for my company twice in the space of a year. My company has over 500 agents.
As you can see, living the life you love, does not just happen to you, it was not LUCK, that helped my clients get to their next level!!!!
They created their own paths, seized opportunities, dung deep into themselves, took responsibility, opened themselves up to change, allowed themselves to dream, to feel fear, to have faith, they even CREATED their own opportunities, to have the lives they wanted!!!!
If you or someone you know, is interested in leaping to the next level in their career or business, so that they love the lives they live, email me at getstarted2day@gmail.com and I will send a gift certificate valued at TT$500 for a coaching session with me. This session will help to gain clarity on what you want from your career or business and steps on how to get there.
So, if you want to love the life you live...............GET STARTED TODAY and CREATE IT!!!!!

'Gina has been a beacon where light for me was not shining. With her, I have been able to pull to the surface ideas that were laying dormant and wanted to be released. She created an environment where I could focus my thoughts and prioritise my ideas. With her help I have achieved more than I could have on my own using pertinent questions that had me drawing deep on the reserves I never knew were there. I have been able to apply her methods to all areas of of my life and seen tangible results to prove this.
For example, I have been top producer for my company twice in the space of a year. My company has over 500 agents.
I would personally recommend Gina without hesitation as a coach. You will not regret the decision'. D Phillips
Gina coached me to ask myself questions I never did before and I was able to get a better understanding of me and what I wanted out of life, how to make it happen and how to stop seeking validation from external sources. I can only validate me!!
Since these life changing sessions, I finally left the dead end job after 12 years and I am currently in a job which I dictate the hours I work and how much work I do on a daily basis.......Working with Gina has literally changed my life! Thank you!' M Ryan
'...............Georgina has helped me gain a better appreciation and understanding of my talents. She has led me to a key that opened so many doors such as improved relationships and professional growth. I am presently going after my dream of becoming an Implementation Consultant in the field of Education. Thank you, Georgina' K Phillips

Since these life changing sessions, I finally left the dead end job after 12 years and I am currently in a job which I dictate the hours I work and how much work I do on a daily basis.......Working with Gina has literally changed my life! Thank you!' M Ryan
'...............Georgina has helped me gain a better appreciation and understanding of my talents. She has led me to a key that opened so many doors such as improved relationships and professional growth. I am presently going after my dream of becoming an Implementation Consultant in the field of Education. Thank you, Georgina' K Phillips
As you can see, living the life you love, does not just happen to you, it was not LUCK, that helped my clients get to their next level!!!!
They created their own paths, seized opportunities, dung deep into themselves, took responsibility, opened themselves up to change, allowed themselves to dream, to feel fear, to have faith, they even CREATED their own opportunities, to have the lives they wanted!!!!
If you or someone you know, is interested in leaping to the next level in their career or business, so that they love the lives they live, email me at getstarted2day@gmail.com and I will send a gift certificate valued at TT$500 for a coaching session with me. This session will help to gain clarity on what you want from your career or business and steps on how to get there.
So, if you want to love the life you live...............GET STARTED TODAY and CREATE IT!!!!!

Which is stronger..... FAITH or FEAR?
Hi Everyone,
Did you miss me?
I was flicking through the TV channels this morning (growing up the TV ruled my life!!! I rushed home to watch my favourite soap operas, I would cut conversations short on the phone with friends and family for a program etc. But I am glad to say, that over the last eight years, I hardly watch TV, so I don't know what comes on when!!!)
Anyway this morning, Dereck had put on the TV, I started to flick through the channels and I came across one of those morning prayer stations. The reason, I did not move on to the next station, was because the inspirational speaker/preacher had no limbs (medical term Phocomelia). His name is Nick Vujicic www.lifewithoutlimbs.org.
He talked so passionately and looked so content with life, I had to listen to him!!
In his sermon, Nick talked about FEAR. What is fear? False Expectations Appearing Real. I have heard this several times before from other speakers and it was a great reminder.
He also talked about FAITH. What is faith? Full Assurance In The Heart!!!
Even if you are not religious, this should make sense to you. Faith is knowing, feeling that this is the thing to do, it feels right, even if you are scared/ or have FEAR!!!
It was a great reminder for me!! I am leaping into areas, way out of my comfort zone now and FEAR is present, however I have always had FAITH. The trick is to feel the fear and push through it!!!
So, are you allowing FEAR to hold you back? What false expectations in your career, relationship business etc, are appearing real and stopping you from moving forward?
What if you replaced it with FAITH, or allowed yourself to have more FAITH than FEAR, what full assurance in your heart, do you need, to have to achieve what you desire and deserve?
What would you do if you had NO FEAR?!!!How different would your life be? How different would the current situation you are facing (redundancy, bankruptcy, separation, promotion, new career, new baby, new major contract) be?
Food for thought!!!!
Bye for now

Recession Or No Recession? That is NOT the question!!!
Hi Everyone,
At the end of last year, when planning my outcomes /resolutions for 2009, I decided that 2009 was going to be an amazing!!! Yes, you heard me, I DECIDED!! Not the markets, analysts, newspapers, etc. This was the essence of one of my bold statements.
I am a firm believer that you create the life you want!!! This is a hard pill to swallow for some people, especially if you think your life is a struggle, you are in a bad relationship, just been laid off etc. But it is true.
Our lives are shaped by the decisions we take (or don't take), i.e. our choices, our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We cannot necessarily stop situations from happening, but we have the choice to decide on how we view the situation and how we choice to respond!!
The choices are ours, we always have a choice. It might not be an easy choice, but there is always a choice. Not choosing, is still a choice!!!
When talking with clients about this topic, some clients will say 'that's not true, we sometimes don't have a choice' So, I tell them about a film, I was once saw, which really cemented the idea for me, that we always have a choice!!
The film is called 'Kiss the Girls' In the movie Ashley Judd is kidnapped by a serial killer and rapist. During the film she escaped. The killer realizes and starts to chase her through the forest. She running, the music is getting louder, she breathing hard and then Ashley comes to the edge of a cliff!!! She stops, looking down at the water below and then back to where she ran from. At this point the killer walks into the clearing and looks at her and you think' Oh no, that's it!!! She will have to go back with him. There is nowhere left for her to go!!!!!'
But then, Ashley looks at him and then at the edge of the cliff and you've got it!!! 'She JUMPS!!!' She decided that she has a choice of how she will live or die!!! It is amazing to watch Ashley realize that she has a choice, and with that she is liberated!!!
I won't tell you how the film ends, if you have not seen it, you should go get it!!!! Don't worry, I have not spoilt it for you!!!
Therefore within this current economic climate, I have decided that I will prosper, my businesses will grow and expand and this will be my best year yet, for helping clients to reach their current potential, revenue, profits, my relationship with my family, Dereck and friends, investments etc.
I am seeing this time, as an opportunity to grow, stretch and be creative!!!
For those of you reading this, who knows someone who also wants to prosper in 2009 too, I have some coaching gift certificates worth US$100, that I can give to you for free. Yes, for free!!!
You can give these gift certificates to your husband, wife, family members, friends or colleagues, as a gift from you. The certificate will entitles them to 30 minute coaching session with me over the phone or skype, that will help them to structure their career or business for success in 2009!!
You can even keep the certificate for yourself!!!
Email me at getstarted2day@gmail.com, put 'gift certificates' in the subject and I will email the certificate back to you, to circulate to whomever you choose. Yes, it's that simple!!!
So the question is not about the recession, in 2009. It is.....................
Are you choosing to liberate yourself or choosing to be trapped?
You know, what I am doing!!!!
See you soon

Leap out of your comfort zone
Hi Everyone,
How are you? Well, I am great!!
I am getting back into my groove and it feels wonderful!!!
I had my first business mentoring/ coaching session with Terri Levine 'The Guru of Coaching' www.terrilevine.com this afternoon.
As mentioned before, one of my bold statements for 2009 was around growing my business 'Get Started Today Limited' and I had decided that I needed a business mentor to help me!!! Don't be alarmed, even doctors go for check ups every now and then!!!
Anyway, when I decided that this is what I needed, I did not know, who, or where or when I would find this person. The spot next to Business Mentor was blank!!!
In January, one of the interviews I was listening to while running on the treadmill, was Terri. I liked what I heard, she is very practical, action orientated, no nonsense and inspiring.
So I searched for her on the net and reviewed her information and products. One of the products is a VIP coaching program. I printed everything off and thought I would look it over later, as you had to be selected to join and I wanted time to think through the application form.
I also decided that I would implement some of Terri's practical ideas.
After receiving some great feedback from a coachee on how our session had had a huge impact on his thinking and his future, I was over joyed and moved to tears!!!. Even though, as coaches we know the power of coaching, it still warms the soul, to hear how, one has helped someone, so I felt compelled to inform Terri, how her interview had inspired me and what actions I had taken. I was sure, even the 'Guru' would love to hear some feedback.
Well guess what? I got a response back from Terri!!! She gave me some great feedback on the information I had sent to her!! Amongst her responses to my email, she invited me to join her VIP program personally!!! She felt that I would be a great candidate for the program!!
Imagine that, being personally invited by the 'Guru of Coaching' to join her program to help me grow my business!!!!
For those of you, who know me, you know this is the condensed version, as time goes on and the moment is right, I will bring out the relevant pieces of the story!!
So, we started today!!!
In order to achieve my 'bold statements, I will have to leap and fly out of my comfort zone!' After a few false starts, I started to leap and I felt the fear fall away!!
Where do you need to leap to? What will you put in place, to push you out of your comfort zone? Who and what support do you need?
Come join me, it a great view from up here!!!
See you soon
