The Power of YES!
The choices we make about what we say to ourselves and others profoundly impact the quality of our lives. I notice in myself and my clients that saying the word, “YES,” increases our energy level. ‘Yes’ peels away resistance and helps us to move downstream.

Executive Coaching is a great tool to support the skill and character development – but what do you do if you find your ego simply resists change? Like the body rejects anything that isn’t it’s own, the ego may reject likewise. Where it is not self discovered knowledge, second hand knowledge might be perceived by the ego as foreign like a splinter of wood by the body. The ego then rejects the affirmation, the great formulas and motivational phrases and gets rid of them whether we object to it or not. So many seminar graduates and coaching clients are fighting an impossible battle against their ego; the mind says “I am confident, powerful and charismatic” and the ego says: “Yeah right, you fool!” ...

Do you need to start changing the way you think about spending money? When you want something, you have to learn to ask 'how will I pay for this' - not 'which card has enough room on it for this'. It is a hard habit to break. Our brains are wired how we wired them - and if it's wired to use credit cards as an extension of your wealth, then it may take months to break the habit and dismiss the impulse to shop for something you cannot afford. Just stop, take a breath, and ask yourself 'How am I going to pay for this'. If it's not from passive income or portfolio income, it might be time to acquire some and then pay for the item. Start thinking like a rich person - not spending like you were a rich person.
There is a huge difference between see and foresee
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. There is more to us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less.

There are always flowers for those who want to see them. There are miles to go for those who want to reach at the top.The difference between dream and goal is that goal have deadline. To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan... believe... act. We all need big and clear picture for ourselves to leave legible foot print on the map of the world. We cannot settle down with low achievements in the life as we have narrow vision.
