As I sit here writing this, my mind is flickering between all the things that have happened in the recent past and just wondering how much of all this contributes to my future and ultimately to my contribution to society and my family, not to mention my own personal fulfilment.
I've noticed that in life, everything I do and go for, I do it with extreme drive and I always go for number one, and this lead to me thinking about the significance of aiming high vs. aiming for just ok, or as in the title suggests, the Number 1 vs. Number 2 mentality.
So think about this for a second, are you a number 1 or a number 2?
I'm not saying that you have to be number 1, no, on the contrary. What I am saying, is that you are deadly honest with yourself and if you are a number 2, be the best number 2 you can be in your world and your reality.

I'm back, and it's been another incredible journey from being a participant to now being part of a crew of people helping other people to make amazing changes in their lives, to allow them to move forward and choose to live the life they've always wanted.
For the past 8 days I have been in the Tivoli Marina Hotel in Vilamoura helping out with the Billionaire Bootcamp training for Christopher Howard trainings and ThinkBig Education.
This is their flagship training seminar and it is truly an amazing experience.
Those of you who have followed me, (and I know you are out there), know that I was participating myself back in November in Fiji. It was such an epic adventure and having shared with you all the learning's I got from that, I knew I had to go back to crew and help out.

What an intensive experience this has all been. I'm back home after an incredible journey of even more self discovery and even though I've been waking up the last 4 nights repeatedly, getting restless sleep and my energy is totally drained, I've been refilled by the sheer power of positivity from my fellow life students at the Chris Howard training programs.
Today was the last day of the intensive platform skills course and also the day of my official graduation from the Academy of Wealth and Achievement. What a journey it has been.
I remember when I first stepped foot into the IBIS hotel back in March 2009 that I had no idea what BTS was about. I was however prepared to leave all my preconceptions outside the door and go into this seminar with an open mind and an open heart.
What hit me was like a ton of bricks smashing down from a 100ft fall. It hit hard and smashed open many issues that were present in my life that I had either swept underneath the carpet, or I was even totally unaware of them myself.
What happened the next 3 days throughout the Breakthrough to Success weekend would change my life forever, and forever for the better.Read the rest of this entry »

Well it's the end of day 1 of this training program called Platform Skills Intensive and I'm once again diving in and soaking myself into the change process and the skills and learnings I'm about to get throughout the course of the next 6 days.
This is one of the Christopher Howard training courses and I can say from firsthand experience and from hearing about other people's opinions that this is certainly one of the best trainings on the market for learning to be exquisite presenting from a stage.
This isn't any old presentation training like you might imagine. This is one that utilizes the highly respect science of NLP to create powerful presenting strategies that would knock the socks off any other presenter.

The human body is truly an outstanding machine that has so many capabilities, yet so many of us often times fail to recognise it, let alone harness it's true power and move forward to understand ourselves better.
Take for instance, addictions. I think in many people's meanings, there is a negative association with that word "addiction", however did you realise that we are all in fact addicted right now.
You may be wondering what to, well this is where the science comes into play. We have these molecules in our body call neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules used by neurons to communicate with each other.

I made a decision about a week ago that involved me taking a flight in approximately 9 months to go to the African continent to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I had previously considered doing this a few years back, however what held me back was simply the fact that I felt I wasn't fit enough to do it.
Today I realised that reason I gave myself was total bullshit. The real conversation my unconscious mind was having with my conscious mind, was something on the lines of, "it's a difficult hike to take, and I'm not prepared to put in the effort to train to get fit for it, because I do not value that time as well spent".
Wow, now I bet we all have these conversations all the time, however for a good part of the time, we'd rather not admit that to ourselves because it's much easier to believe that we aren't good enough.

I've come to realise that for the most part, there is a majority of people who look for similarities in life rather than to look for difference. I think that part is obvious, similarities are a known thing, and therefore even if it is not entirely safe, it is manageable.
Difference however is a much trickier thing to deal with. I mean, it is difference that separates people, it is difference that creates wars and problems between countries, and between friends. In fact ever since man learnt how to walk on two legs, it is these differences that have create a separatist way of thinking amongst us human beings, however, did you ever stop to think that this very difference is also the prime cause for Mans continual search for truth and the advancement of civilization.
Think about it for second, there are more than enough examples of people seeking out similarities in the world. When people immigrate to a new city, they tend to find homes near people who are similar. When visiting another country, people feel at ease when they encounter people from the same background.

So I'm back from the weekend and what an incredible experience it all was.
Last weekend I signed up to do a shark dive in the Blue Planet Aquarium tank in Liverpool. We were very fortunate to have this opportunity as there are only a small handful of places where you can actually do this in Europe.
So the day started off in Greenwich meeting the UDare group and together we set off on the journey, but not before we sort out the beeping door that wouldn't shut!
After resolving that, our journey begun and soon we'd be heading down the long highway to our northern destination. After making a few minor driving mistakes and having to turn back after realising wed gone a little too far north, we finally reached the aquarium 4 hours later!

What you say to your children is very important. I'm sure you know that already, but have you thought about the implications of the words you use?
The unconscious mind is an extremely powerful creative tool that will manifest all that it wants and needs, but if you input "bad data" into that unconscious mind, especially at early ages, you will invariably do more harm than good.
What do I really mean by this?
Well the classic example is that our minds will focus on things, and we get what we focus on.
In fact, if a single thought entered your mind, even if you didn't think it was relevant, it is.
