Thursday Therapy

Hello all,

Who is out there? Please do feel free to comment any time you get. I am still struggling with these three questions from my social enterprise work book. My answers seem so predictable:

Who are the people who have most influenced you in your life so far?

Who do you want to be like and why?

Who are your heroes and in what ways do you want to be more like them?

Anyway will most certainly have to move on from these and get stuck into the rest of the book tomorrow. What else have I achieved today?

* Diary planning (again!)
* Course Journal
* Course reading
* Course homework
* Sent out web-site meeting request

Quote for the day must be Estee Lauder:

I never dreamed about success I worked for it

Wednesday Waffling

Hi guys, well looking at the blogs I'm following it seems that I'm not the only one who finds a daily blog a struggle. Anyway I'm a busy bee this morning on my course homework which is to summarise first learnings into between 100 and 200 words. It's not that I'm a waffler, but I just managed 181 and I hadn't even started yet! Here it is for your amusement:

Boom! So it hit me right there in the Subud Hall: I can’t be a successful personal coach and career mentor without being willing to work through the same processes that I will be expecting my clients and customers to take on. Having ventured onto the course after many years wanting to do an NLP course and still more thinking about being a life coach, here I was with a stark reality: I too was going to change. The good news was I didn’t have to try I just needed to go with it and see what happened.

It was with great love that I devoted myself to looking at my core values. I can honestly say it was an epiphany moment when I realised that essentially working with these sorts of ideas that I had always loved was now my job. After much scribbling, juggling definitions and a study full of index cards each representing a value I came up with my first list of core values in order of priority for me now here in this moment.

Achievements for the day should read:

* completed course journal

* completed course homework

* met with marketing mentor

* completing meeting minutes

* read course textbook

Quote for the day has to be from Mark Twain:

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
