The main motivating factor for me, coming into this industry, was not the money. Although I wanted a decent income it was more about gaining time. Time to do what I chose to do, and to do it with the people I chose to do it with, my family and friends.

Well after a conversation with a friend of mine, and with my wife Kate, I realised that I have practically achieved that within 12 months!

So the money is nice .... but it's not the be all and end all!

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to All.... and may 2010 be prosperous for You and Yours

What mindset really means is belief or faith. Not blind faith, but belief in yourself and your abilities. Self-belief will drive you forward where others give up, and it is vital you either have it, or you develop it.

Human beings are incredible, and the power of the human mind would put the most sophisticated of computers to shame! Yet most people never use thier mind to it's full potential. Why? Well in part to pre-conditioning. Do you recognise any of these sayings....

" Don't get ideas above your station"
" Don't aim to high, you will only be dissapointed"
" You won't be able to do that you are too small/slow/stupid"

.... get the picture?

Well I have news for you, only YOU control what goes into your head. YOU choose what you want to believe, YOU are in charge of your own mind. Whatever you want to do have belief in yourself, because if you don't believe in yourself, why would anyone else believe in you?

"If you believe you can, or you believe you can't, you're probably right"  Henry Ford.
