How To Be Happy Everyday

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

I know you are thinking – how is that possible?

I promise you it is and here is how to do it using a quick process called NLP Anchoring….

  1. Take a moment and sit somewhere quietly
  2. Think of a time when you were the most happiest – a specific time
  3. Now imagine experiencing that time as if it were right now
  4. Remember everything you saw, felt and heard
  5. Now when you really feel those feelings, squeeze your left fist
  6. Then open your eyes
  7. Repeat steps 2 – 6 about 4 or 5 times
  8. To test – fire your anchor – squeeze your left fist and you should feel those happy feelings

You could also think of a ‘special word’ that reminds you of that event instead of squeezing your fist.  Once you have repeated steps 2-6, when you  think of the ‘special word’ you will feel those positive feelings.

NLP Anchoring is basically linking a positive state to a picture, word or a physical place on the body.  The state and the picture/word or physical place gets linked in your brain so you feel the same feelings when you fire the anchor as in step 8.  You can use any states such as motivation, confidence, energetic to name a few.  This is also great for kids!

This isn’t magic or anything new.  Marketing teams worldwide use anchors to get you into a positive state where you want the product no matter what.  Just notice what happens when a child sees the ‘Golden Arches’ of McDonalds.  Instantly they are hungry and that is a very clever visual anchor….

Give it a go – it works and it only takes a couple of minutes.

Bye for now

Keep track of your kids: Kidtracker Discount

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

I watched Wall Street 2 last night and my ears pricked up when I heard Michael Douglas say, “parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth”.  That rings so true when you think about it.  We are the testing ground for their development, their knowledge, their trials and tribulations.  We are the ones they can really be themselves around (sometimes too much like themselves!)

The question bears asking, as parents how do we truly keep our kids safe?  Our teenagers are now socialising more and more and have earned some independence so they can go to movies, shopping centres and some parties on their own.  So how do we know where they really are?

Kidtracker is an amazing gps phone tracking product that enables you to know where your kids are within a few metres of their location and it costs less than we would spend on coffees per week.  How good will it feel to know you have total peace of mind when your kids go out? All they need is their mobile phone and kidtracker does the rest.  It is easy to install and simple to use.

We have secured a special discount for our readers and clients.  Your special discount code is VIP05 and you can access this at:  http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au/kid-tracker.html

Until next time ……

Who’s Keeping You On Your Game?

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

How do elite athletes and successful people stay on top of their game?  That’s right – they have a coach to help them be the best they can be.  So who is helping you stay on top of your game?

My clients get great results by putting into practice the NLP Coaching techniques I teach them. This got me to thinking about how sharing some of these tools could help you in your life.  So I thought I might share with you different ideas, hints and tips each week that will help you improve the areas of your life and business that need some work!

The first question is this:  Is this your year to shine?

Have you ever gone into a grocery store to pick up ‘a couple of things’ without a list?  I know I have many times and every time I walk out with items I didn’t really need and I end up spending more money than I needed to!

How many of us wander through life without a list of what we really want and then get distracted and end up somewhere at the end of the year where we didn’t really want to be?  I know a lot of my clients who become exasperated with their lack of direction.

So do you want to know how to create your ‘life list’?

What do you really want to achieve this year?  To start your ‘life list’ you need to divide your life into the areas you want to improve such as: health, career, money, sex and relationships.  Then start with one area and write down exactly what it is you want.

This may sound basic and you might be surprised how many people miss out this step.  You know you want your life, business or relationships to be better.  How much better?  What specifically do you want?  Not many of us would go on a holiday without working out where they want to get to so why is it alright to just meander through life wondering when it will get better?

When writing your ‘life list’, it is important to be very specific. If it is a new relationship, what type of character do you want? What interests do you want them to share and what do you really want out of the relationship?  The same principles apply for money, health and career. It isn’t enough to want ‘more’ – is $1.00 more ok?  Probably not!  So you need to be clear on what it is you really want so you can then start moving towards it.

If you do this you will get more clarity on your direction and each week we can build on that.  I imagine that would be a useful thing, wouldn’t it?

Next week, I’ll share with you another tip so you can start moving forward to a better way of life.

Then stay tuned as each week I’ll share information with you on a variety of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques including how to handle stress and anxiety.  I’ll also share ideas about how to design your future and get what you really want out of life.  Improve your confidence, your business, your presentation skills and your relationships!

It may be fun and sometimes even a little crazy – and with a background in theatre– I won’t be able to help myself!

And in the words of Henry Ford, ‘If you think you can or you think you can’t, you are probably right’.

So sit back folks and enjoy the ‘coach’ ride!

Bye for now

Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Do you feel frustrated at not knowing where your kids are or if they are in potential danger?

Every parent dreads that moment when the kids don’t arrive home from school on the bus at the normal time or you arrive to pick them up at a specific location and they aren’t there.  Where are they?  Your heart starts to beat a little faster and you try not to panic as you start ringing their phone or their friend’s phones to find out where they are.

Well if you have experienced any of this, you aren’t alone.  I’ve recently discovered KidTracker which is a software product designed by parents for parents so we can empower ourselves with the information to keep our kids safe.  KidTracker allows you to quickly locate where your child is to within 1 metre of their location.  Just think of the piece of mind that will give you.

As working parents, we appreciate the balancing act we do to be able to get kids to and from school, sporting events and parties and sometimes having to be in two places at once!  Every parent needs to know where their kids are and when you can’t be there, wouldn’t it be great to know that you could easily and quickly track your kids so you know where they are?

Kid Tracker not only shows you their current location but also their previous locations so you know where they have been.  The more information you have as parents then the greater knowledge you have about potential issues and problems.

The biggest fear for parents today is on-line and physical predators.  For years paedophiles have had access to the latest technology to get to our kids even in their own homes through SMS, email and on-line activities.  Now you as a parent have access to the state of the art Kid Tracker technology to fight back and keep your children safe.

I’m blown away by the amazing features included in Kid Tracker which allows you to find out who your children are communicating with.  To locate them quickly, especially if they are in danger.  Are they really at a sleep over at their friends place or have they snuck out to a party where there is a possibility of drugs and maybe even alcohol fuelled violence?  Are they hanging around the wrong crowd? To monitor emails and SMS messages to ensure they are safe from predators or unwanted advances.

Imagine being able to discover that your child is depressed through the messages they send to their friends.  Now you can be armed with knowledge and take action to avoid your child participating in any kind of self-harming activities.

As parents we need to protect and guide our kids and Kid Tracker is about being aware of what is really going on with our kids.

Kid Tracker enables you to focus on the protection and safety of your kids and gives you an opportunity to educate your kids in a proactive and supportive way so they can enjoy their childhood without looking back later in years with regret.

Kids are not adults – not yet.  So let’s make sure they have the best childhood and are nurtured, protected and guided towards the best possible future.

Our readers can get a 5% discount on Kid Tracker with your Kid Tracker discount voucher by visiting  http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au/kid-tracker.html

Let’s keep our kids safe from harm.

Bye for now

Are You a Great Manager?

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

“I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions, I have been entrusted to take the game-winning shot and I missed. I have failed over and over again in my life (business). And that’s precisely why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

Have you ever wondered what makes the most successful leaders in the world so successful?  Is it their beliefs, their values, their thought patterns and their actions?

Well the answer is yes, yes, yes and yes!

What’s interesting is their actions form only part of their successful leadership strategy.  Each successful leader or manager has a process they do inside their head, unconsciously that enables them to think, act and behave like a great Manager.

There are many Management Development Programs in Queensland and all over Australia but how do you know which one is right for you to be able to learn the skills that enable you to be a great Manager?

What many Managers don’t know is that within each of their staff is a level of thinking or a ‘way’ of thinking that produces certain results.  Managing using one leadership style may work for some team members but not others.  The Managers I have worked with have expressed their absolute frustration about the complexities of managing the many different personalities in the workplace.

Here’s the great part.  All great Managers need to be able to do is to work out their teams’ thinking patterns and how each staff member processes information both internally and externally.

Sounds complicated?  Well it isn’t….

This is where Management Development Programs can fall short on delivery.  They focus so much on leadership styles instead of focusing on how to find out how staff are programmed, what their belief systems are and how to identify their blocks to producing high levels of productivity.

Imagine having that edge over your competitors that allows you to do less and achieve more.  Picture communicating much more effectively with staff and customers and feeling like you are a great leader for your team. Suppose you increase your sales and reduce your costs and have more effective and happier staff.

That would be useful wouldn’t it?

Well that is possible when you learn how to model excellent behaviour, strategies and beliefs and install it in yourself.

Our Management Development Programs in Queensland, Sydney and Melbourne teach you how to think, act and behave like a great manager.  The Management Development Program provides you with a simple tool that enables you to find out how your staff think and how they best need to be managed.  This enables you to lead them to be more productive, to be happier and more content in the workplace and to stay on board longer.

The focus of our Management Development Program is how we show you how to discover what makes the difference between good and great results.

The question is this, are you happy being a good manager or do you want to be a great manager? Visit http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au to find out more.

Why Some People Explode to Success …..

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

People ask me regularly how they can achieve better results in their life.  There is always more to do and it seems like less time to do it, less money to do it with and less energy available when you need it.  My take on achieving better results is this.  If you hold on to al the ‘old stuff’ in your life, how on earth can you pick up new things like new ideas, opportunities or tasks.  We each hold onto past beliefs that limit us, past emotions that limit us and doubts that limit us.  Why not come and learn how to let go of all that so you can start fresh and focus on improving results in your life?

‘Design Your Future’ seminars will teach you how to use your mind to remove the obstacles that prevent you from achieving what you want.  People who attend these seminars have incredible results. Here’s what previous participants had to say about the seminar: “I have unlocked a new future. I knew it would be good but nothing could have prepared me for this!!! I am excited about tomorrow….. The seminar has had a profound impact on my thinking power and I know that I am in control of my own life again. You have truly given me a gift. …Thank you I feel free again. Thank you. Thank you..” Angela – Brisbane

“For years I have felt that I am being held back from what it really is I want. I had no idea what was holding me back. In 2 days I have had those reigns taken off – released. I am so looking forward to my future. Thank you.” Marslie – Brisbane

“Deciding to bring my children along was a big decision. I thought if they could just take one good thing each out of both days then it would be well worth it. The children [12 & 16 years] have learnt and I know already they will benefit from this course in many ways. I was surprised at how much they enjoyed their time. They are already correcting me!!” Many thanks Jill – Gold Coast.

Warning: Are your thoughts ruining your life?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I’m not sure if you know that statistically we have about 90,000 thoughts going on in our head every single day.  That’s a lot of thoughts!

So many self help books tell us to think positively.  While I agree in part, how do you monitor that many thoughts per day to ensure they are positive?  The truth – well you just can’t.

Other books tell you to stop focusing on negative thoughts or the things you don’t want.  How do you achieve this exactly?

If I told you to think about anything for one hour, except for a white polar bear, what you will find is that the bear will spring to your mind many times over that hour.  Not sure?  Then why not experiment with it.   For the next hour, think of anything except a white polar bear!

So why is it that the very thing you don’t want to think about is so present in your mind?  Well, in order to ‘not think’ of something, you first have to think about it, then negate it in your mind and think about something else.

Here’s the real problem:  If you are thinking about ‘not’ being something or ‘not’ having something you don’t want, you are actually projecting that into the environment around you and you end up getting more of what you don’t want.

How is it that angry people seem to attract other angry people and get into fights that the rest of us ‘non angry’ people seem to avoid?  Because they are projecting thoughts based on anger into the world around them.

If you tell someone who is on a diet, not to have chocolate, they are more than likely to consume more as a result.  However, tell a person on a diet to eat more vegetables and that’s where their focus will be.

The more negative thoughts you have (and try not to have) the more damage you may be doing to your life, both internally and externally.  It can affect your health and your ability to move forward.

So why not learn how to let go of negative thoughts, emotions, beliefs and doubts that prevent you from having your life the way you want it.

NLP Practitioner goes to Tanzania!

Monday, March 8th, 2010

I am so excited to share with you all that one of our graduates from our NLP Practitioner course is heading off to Tanzania this September as part of Child Reach International.  Marslie Smits is the first ever Australian to be involved in the international fund raising event and we couldn’t be more proud of her efforts.  Marslie will head to Tanzania where there are inadequate facilities to clean water, toilets and large enough classrooms to accommodate rising numbers of children.  Marslie along with 14 other women will work tirelessly for 10 days to improve the infrastructure of these schools and offer a better learning environment.

What a wonderful project to be involved in.  If you think it is important to support such events then you can help through a number of different ways…..

Dr Jonathan Bispham and I are conducting a two hour evening seminar on 24th March 2010 and will share with you the ’7 Secrets to Success’ so you can unlock the power of your mind.  Utilising a combination of our client experience, rapid mind changing techniques and research in the area of human change we bring you an evening that promises to be life changing.  Tickets are only $49.00 and all proceeds from these tickets go directly to Child Reach International and help get Marslie over there doing what she does best – helping people!  The event will be conducted on the Gold Coast, Australia. 

As the numbers are limited BOOK NOW and pay for your tickets through http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au/seven_secrets.html

If you can’t make it to the event, then why not donate directly to help Marslie in her quest to help the children of Tanzania by going to www.justgiving.com/Marslie-Smits  

Even a small donation will go a long long way to ensure the experience for the Tanzanian kids will be life changing!

We will be placing photos of the charity event including what they achieve on the Life Changing Solutions website so you can see and read about how much your donation has helped.

Visit http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au/seven_secrets.html for more information.

Bye for now….and thanks for getting involved…
