Posted on January 6, 2013 by Sue Lester — No Comments ↓

The key to ending up where you want to be is knowing where that is, and planning how to get there!

If you haven’t already set your overall goals for this year, make some time now to get out a sheet of paper and either write down the answers to these questions, or use the intuitive method below…

p.s. for business planning I suggest you map out your marketing campaigns, workshops, speaking events, etc on an annual calendar, which is also dispayable. A guestimate is all you need to start – your money is in your calendar.

Christmas Bah Humbug

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Sue Lester — No Comments ↓

If you’re not feeling the Christmas spirit, it’s OK, and you are perfectly normal! The imagery we see in Australia of what Christmas ‘should’ be is based on the American commercial ideal, and bears very little connection to reality.

Letting Go In Ladakh

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Sue Lester — No Comments ↓

“No way am I getting on a horse!” I stated vehemently. I could feel my jaw tighten and my stomach squirm. I have nothing against horse riding normally, in fact have quite enjoyed trail rides over the years, even managing to stay on while trotting and cantering. This was different.

Once you realise there are actually 4 currencies you can be paid in, it’s easier to shift your mood and perspective, opening up even more potential for growth.

If I hadn’t known, I would have guessed she was in her early 70’s. Perhaps a young looking 78, but certainly not 92. Come to think of it, I’ve met women in their 50’s who are considerably older! That may sound odd, but I believe there is a huge difference between growing older and growing old. Growing older is a blessing, for most of us, as the alternative isn’t very appealing. “Birthdays are good for you – they keep you alive.” Growing old, however, is optional.
