At these difficult economic circumstances, we do a lot of thinking about our dreams and wishes, but actually making a move towards the thing we want is something else. We buy the books, write the lists, talk to people about it and always find a reason not to begin the task itself.

I have been talking to many people lately about my Reinvention workshops programs in Britain, my American friends get it, marketing a personal development or change process workshop is easy there. People are keen to make some changes, make adjustment and invest in their lives in the US, the American dreams is still in their Brains. They all want to make it happen! And I was reading Sir Richard Brandson Biography, what sticks out most is how he reinvented himself several times, from being quiet, inarticulate, shy to one of the richest Man in Britain with his famous brand Virgin!

I also read the biography of Hugh Helner, he also reinvented himself from being unsociable, reserved and detached (both from high school and later professionally) to “Mr Playboy” and one of the first magazine editors to use celebrities to help expand its brand and gain visibility. In high school, Hugh Hefner went from being awkward and unpopular to, in his own words, “the imaginary adolescent, the teenager I wanted to be”:

I experienced reinvention myself too believe it or not, I went from being timid, shy, reserved person to being confident, energized and passionate, mainly created a purpose for my life and Britain has played a major role into it, I learnt the culture, the mentality and the system. Furthermore I learnt to monitor my thoughts and use self observation as a tool to success.

It takes a great courage and determination to look and turn our thoughts into goals and our goals into action. However you make your resolution, it’s important to have faith in a positive outcome, make sure your goal is big enough to inspire you and challenge you and finally create a vision board that captures the essence of what you want to achieve.

Right now, it may be more important than ever to reinvent yourself. What do you need to become? How do you see your Future?

Wanting to make a fresh start, but don’t know how? Join me on the 2nd of July!

Best Wishes

In this difficult time in the UK and around the globe, where the media is killing us, with the bad weather, Gordon Brown Economic meltdown, Gaza, the disaster in Australia and all the very bad news we are fed every day, we can see what is happening in our world, positive attitude and thinking are the two elements that will change the way we do business and help ourselves, other wise we will not cope.

Talking to a friend yesterday, she was telling me that she has more depressed clients coming into her Clinique than she ever seen before, in 10 years in business.

Our positive attitude towards every thing we do will bring the changes we need with our clients, in our families, businesses, relationships, social communities we belong, into our environment and into our world.

Our customers, friends, families, children can feel when we are negative. Negative thinking is trigged by bad feelings, lack of confidence, insecurity, tiredness, depression and sometimes anger. We can change it by interacting with others, taking ownership and responsibilities. We cannot immerse ourselves any more in the world of cynics, saboteurs and irresponsibility.

The more we interact the more we have opportunities in business. When you have a positive attitude, you attract more clients, more people and more friends; you can help them rethink about their own behaviour too.

One of the trainers yesterday said that, in these times, when we are down and cannot cope to think about 5 good happy moments in your life, take one that keep you going and make it your element of thinking. He said it’s really a personal thing.

After my training, I was revitalised, energised and more than ever willing to keep the momentum of Positiveness. A culture of success in an organisation can only be built when we all change our attitudes, work, share with one another and always remember ourselves that despite every thing we are going through in these times that we are very privileged! Let’s not think about what we cannot have or do, bu reajust our attitude to think positive.
