So I’m feeling incredibly inspired and uplifted after an amazing 3 days with a room full of men and women who are completely on my wavelength! It really is amazing what can happen to you and others when you come together with a group of like-minded people and learn, laugh, cry, dance, share and basically feel deeply together. It’s like there is this invisible connection between us all, some sort of weird sci-fi stuff from ‘The Matrix’ where we are all feeding off each other’s energy; vibrations; excitement; hopes and dreams; and this natural empathy develops and you get talking about the more serious stuff – the fear of failure; the pain of an unsupportive spouse; the inability to release the guilt you feel for ….well a myriad of reasons; the similarity in our different mini-hero journeys; the ability to overcome challenges and the readiness to embrace a changed and brighter more exciting future on the horizon.
The interesting thing about Network Marketing Professionals, is that we all come from different backgrounds, different careers and skills, and really, you have to learn a whole new set of skills, in order to be an effective entrepreneur, and to help others do the same and support them in achieving their goals.
One of the interesting areas of learning, which many of us may not have come across in our traditional careers, is the importance of cultivating the right mindset. Learning the right habits that serve to strengthen your mindset, to focus on positive self-talk, learning how to choose those emotions that will serve you and changing your emotional state in an instant, and learning how to work smartly, focusing on those 
income producing activities to the exclusion of all distractions, and developing a vision so clear, and so big, that it excites you and energises you. All this I am learning from a very dedicated and talented man named Dave OConnor, and his work with Carla Reiger, as part of the Network Marketing Leadership Academy (NMLA). Very exciting. Very cool. Full of fun! Check out www.daveoconnoronline.com
However, the friendships that I am making along the way, along this exciting path is really what this is all about – enjoying the journey, and learning how to be the best version of you.

So the new year is here, the excitement is building and there are so many great adventures on the horizon! As you embrace this exciting newness, and feel full of hope, you start to feel differently, lighter somehow, with a bit of a hop, skip and jump built into your stride. This may not be very visible to others, however they can see your smile, your joy, your effervesence and your happiness. You are oozing and overflowing with hope and possibility, and it shows! Your inner glow is beaming out to the world and you are feeling EPIC……..but sometimes those closest to you don’t see what you see, and don’t feel what you feel and perhaps are a little ‘miffed’ that you seem so happy, especially when they are not. You start to feel a little jaded, and perhaps start to pretend, or suppress your excitement, letting it out again when no one is looking.
‘Day by day in every way I’m getting better and better’, as stated by the wonderful Emil Coue, is a ‘mantra’ that really describes me and my journey over the last year. I’m so excited about 2017! I am having an awakening, just as the little girl in the film ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ had when she started to entertain the possibility that Santa Claus might exist. I do feel somewhat ashamed… in the last two months I have made little effort to stop and smell the roses. Too busy being busy perhaps? Oh dear.. well I hope not, and that will certainly have to change if it really IS the case! With two days left to the end of the year and the start of 2017, I really am excited. How do you feel?
So I was chatting with my dear friend Patricia, who has many talents, which include being an amazing hairdresser. As I was under the hairdryer, I was focused on her incredible red boots. She kindly let me take a picture, which I have attached below. I was so attracted to these boots, but not necessarily for the boots in particular, but because of the symbolism and what they represented to me. I thought it interesting that the shiny bold attractive redness, mirrored my dear friend Patricia’s personality – or perhaps my perception of her personality. Vibrant, joyful, happy, strong, carefree and eclectic. But I was left with the words ‘strong bold courage’. I realised that these were personality traits and emotions that I recognised in myself.
However, I will be the first to admit that I do not feel strong, bold and courageous everyday! Far from it! However I can possess the spirit of boldness, and the spirit of courage, everyday, which in turn makes me feel strong. It feels great – well of course, why wouldn’t it? It would make anyone feel great! So why do we not do more to cultivate boldness and courage each day?
true leader? How can I develop self-belief and confidence in my existence, purpose and mission in life? How can I nurture a vibrant and healthy love for my Maker, myself and others?
But I want to be truly dressed for action! I want to be wrapped in light and love and ready to take on the world as my authentic self. Me. What is the easiest and most natural way for me to do that? With my smile. I want to show up each day with the best smile I can muster. Because that’s just me.
