Update March 2009

Just to let you know that finally I have the beginnings of my new Coach site http://ahafactor.co.nz/
There you will find a post that was already here – the one about Valentino Rossi.I have added a youtube video for you!

 Later there will be more posts from that site and free stuff as well as an opportunity to subscribe so you will automatically be kept up to date with new posts.
I plan to make it all informative, have a bit of fun, and mostly – offer you some inspiration.
 I will even post more commentary here with links to my new site.

The Information Age and Digital Downloads

The wwww – yes four w’s – wonderful world wide web has given us unprecedented access to information of every flavor in the Universe!

Personal Development, Self Improvement, Spiritual Enlightenment, ‘How to……pretty much anything’, Goal Setting, Realizing/Achieving Your Dreams to Yes! You CAN Do it! are all incredibly well catered for on the ‘net.

And no doubt every day there is a new incarnation of that which has gone before – all be it with a modern twist. Yet you ‘the market’ seem to have an insatiable appetite for this work. Why is that I wonder? We live in a time of amazing wealth [yes I know - there's a downturn right now - not new - we have had those before - and no doubt we'll experience them again], but we are still searching for the Holy Grail, the magic silver bullet that will turn the pumpkin into a golden coach – riches and wealth forever – Yay!!

I bet you are familiar with the incredible hooplah around ‘The Secret’ and the subsequent emergence of all the  ‘teachers’ as seen on the CD and/or Oprah.

Personally, I loved The Secret and the re-emergence seemingly from nowhere of a huge demand to buy or see the movie and to learn more. Perhaps it has served to increase our awareness that life could possibly be a little better – perhaps a strong signal that most of us are generally discontented with our lot. Rampant materialism has not dampened our inner yearning for peace and happiness.

Where do we go to find peace and contentment? Well, we go to the same place we have always gone – or where those that have ‘the knowledge’ go – within.

I’ll save any more comment on going within for another day – suffice to say that once we ‘get’ this we are ready to embark on a journey of discovery and wonderment. We still have to function in this world of course, you know, earn a living, socialize, have fun, eat, sleep.

But the fundamentals always remain the same – get clear – set a goal – take action. Align it with your values [what's important to you] and set sail!

Which brings me to one of the most popular writings of all time around these principles – ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill. This book is still selling or being offered as part of various packages and still being read despite the somewhat archaic language.  The principles in this book still hold true to this day.

Another well recognized writing on success and wealth is ‘The Science of Getting Rich’ by Wallace Wattles. Many have attributed their success to Wattles’ teachings. His book was written around 1912, Think and Grow Rich about 1937.

Both books are available in digital format for download. If you would like a free copy, make a comment to this fact with your email address and I will email a copy to you.

There’s plenty more similar books available in my digital library – but they are for another day.

I think I will call myself a ‘Digital Coach’ – read first and then let’s set some goals and take some action!!!

From a Casual Observer

Well, the world continues to deliver plenty of contrast and paradox. We have the pursuit of excellence at the Olympics in Beijing, to ‘Who Started this?’ debacle in Georgia, to another lost leader resigning this time in Pakistan to our own Prime Minister Helen Clarke showing a real taste of humanity through the sad loss of her trusted guide whilst hiking and skiing in the Southern Alps near Tekapo in the South Island of New Zealand.

Firstly the Olympics. Mahe Drysdale has demonstrated true Olympic spirit with his gutsy performance in the single sculls final. Despite severe illness he competed to the point of collapse – he secured a bronze medal – at full fitness maybe that would have been gold. However it is his gritty performance in the face of real adversity that epitomises what it’s all about. No excuses in the end. He accepts responsibility.

Georgia. Seems to me a classic lack of acceptance of responsibility [ backed up in this case by the US?]. From some accounts the Georgian leader chose to take on an ally of Russia whilst counting on the support of the West with whom he had been cultivating alliances. Well Russia did not muck around and the result has become one of more spin than an out of control top from the West. Get over it, move on, build bridges not escalate conflict!

Pakistan. What seemed to be a way forward out of the messy politics of the past, Musharaff seems to have lost his way, become unpopular and has now resigned. At least he has listened to his opposition and not denied reality like Mugabe in Zimbabwe – what a disaster – I still have yet to figure out how we can commit such atrocities against our fellow citizens.

New Zealand. Helen Clarke as head of Government for three terms has become somewhat unpopular and looks to be voted out at the forthcoming general elections. This past week I, among many, have seen a more human side through the tragedy that occurred as mentioned earlier. So bravo!

Which leads me to my passion – the internet is borderless and many disenfranchised people have found some form of solace from this mere fact. Sure, there’s plenty of suppression as to access for certain folks and yes, there are some dodgey buggers lurking around, but at the same time we have the greatest repository of information available to us – mostly for free. Hurrah for that! In time this method of communicating will overcome mad governments, allow people to become financially independent, educated and more knowledgeable.

A way forward to a greater community.

Moving my Coaching Business Online

I have been pondering this question for quite some time, especially how to do it. My special interest is in helping people move from where they are now to where they want to [ realize their dreams] whether these aspirations are personal or business. I do know after coaching a few entrepreneurs who have businesses that often the best place to start is with the individual’s mindset. Get this sorted out and then real effective change can occur quite quickly. Most issues seem to arise from lack of a decent plan and poor marketing.

Marketing is the key to getting my business online – after I have defined what it is that I need to focus on [initially at least].

These two lessons were repeated time and again by most of the ‘gurus’ who spoke at the World Internet Summit’ here in Auckland N.Z. last week. Pretty much like the Law of Attraction in action!

So, it is time to start putting the correct building blocks in place so that I can reach more people and help more people through the power of the world wide web.

I am learning new stuff very day – like Yaro Starak who has a successful blog that provides him with a steady income – he has some great tutorial videos and has produced an excellent e book [ free] on what to do. You can check that out at www.entrepreneurs-journey.com

The question remains at this point whether to focus purely on blogging or to have a web site with a blog also.

I am getting advice from a successful SEO expert on this next week and so my journey begins. One great piece of advice given at the seminar was to get a mentor – advice that I am taking this time. I have spent too much time and money trying o do it all myself and the results speak for themselves! As a coach I should know that!

So, watch this space as I begin my journey – I’ll do my best to regularly update the process – my own journey.

Just like the Mythology/Metaphor workshop I embarked on a few weeks ago – getting in touch with and noticing my ’shadow’ – now my shadow is ‘out there’ and its voice has much less power than it used to!

World Internet Summit Auckland New Zealand July 17 -20 2008

What a blast!
This is the world’s biggest internet event – hosted by Brett McFall ‘The Simplifier’ and Tom Hua ‘The Viral Marketing Guy’.
The line up of guest speakers in addition to Brett and Tom were; Ewen Chia, Shaune Clarke, Sean Roach, Michel and Sylvie Fortin, Dr Mike Woo-Ming and Brian ‘Koz’ Kosobucki, Paul Easton [SEO expert from NZ],Gail Bottomley [also from NZ], Adam Ginsberg , Debra Thompson Roedl and Alan Forrest Smith.
The content from all speakers was fantastic – and many released new product to the public for the very first time! We were truly privileged!
With two speakers from NZ for the first time – watch out world – we’re catching up fast!
The final address by Brett McFall included an offer like no other, my friend jumped at the opportunity to hopefully be included in this special 12 month mentoring programme.
And without any doubt all attendees were mightily impressed with the ’secrets’, ‘tips’ & marketing information together with a strong dose of ‘coaching’ to help us on the way to our own individual success.
Videos of the Sydney event are now available – including resell rights – more details will be posted on my web site very soon. These are a highly valuable resource and will prove their worth time and time again. If you with to just purchase for your own library – then, yeah – go for it.
I’ll post a URL where you can get them soon – or leave a comment if you are interested and I’ll speed the process up for you!
W.I.S. has now been to 15 countries and there have been 30 events so far – next one coming up soon is in London.

More on the Law of Attraction

I have just started reading ‘Harmonic Wealth’ by James Arthur Ray one of the ‘teachers’ who appeared on the Oprah Show discussing the principles of the Law of Attraction shown in ‘The Secret’. Since then thousands, maybe millions of us have attempted to apply these principles without much success. It is quite clear to me that the world is ready for the message but not entirely sure how to apply the teachings successfully. These principles are not new – maybe excellent marketing and timing have combined to provide a vehicle for discovery. ‘What The Bleep’ is also a fascinating insight into science meets metaphysics!
Well, it seems to me that James is as qualified as any to help us on our journey – check out his book and do the exercises your life may change for the better!



Insomnia

I came across this video by accident today. Insomnia is something I have suffered from most of my life. Today, because I was tired I stand to lose a $20,000 sale! I have played around with EFT on and off with mixed results. I plan to try this technique for a few days and then I shall record my findings. I know that when I am fresh after having a [rare] good night’s sleep, my energy levels and my outlook change considerably for the better!

Secret to Becoming Successful – part 1

You have heard of the Law of Attraction, brought to prominence by the phenomenon called ‘The Secret’. You might have seen it on Oprah or Joe Vitale talking with Larry King. If, like me , you were sufficiently interested you probably bought the DVD or the book. 

Maybe you found out about Jerry and Esther Hicks and their work with the entity called Abraham. There are others of course.

What was all the fuss about?

Why are you not enjoying the same financial well being and an abundant life?

Could it be it to do with the fact that most of you do not enjoy the kind of life that the teachers of ‘the secret’ espouse? Whether that’s by way of the material or good things in life like lots of money, nice car, nice house etc., or a more spiritual approach that has less to do with material wealth and more to do becoming reconnected to what’s important for you in your life – whatever that is.

For most of you, I feel it is fair to say that having more than enough money in order to ‘just get by’ is very important. At least you can help a lot of people or organizations with money – you can’t do much good without it!

And you do need money to get by in this modern world.

So, why, if we apply the lessons in ‘The Secret’ [and other works], are you not experiencing the lifestyle you wish for?

Could it be to do with your mindset? No doubt like me, your default program – how you think and feel and believe is preventing you – a road block so to speak.

Well, I have something for you to check out – it is free, I am using it and I am noticing a change. I encourage you to have a look, there are other options should you wish to take it further. 

Just follow the link below.

“http://www.milliondollar-mindset-secrets.com/engine/?GPS=546“

I also have something else quite exciting – also free to join, coming up in a few days – and again it will offer  pathway to your success.

Remember as always, keep a record of your activities in your Success Diary!

My Best to You!

Phil

Success!

As a personal and business coach I have a passion for helping you become successful! Whether you want more money, a better job or new career, maybe start a new business, have a better social life or a great relationship, then I am here to help you get that. Or, at least guide you to resources that will be of use to you.

First off though, you need to know where you are right now.

You then need to get crystal clear as to what you want to achieve or where you want to go.

Once you have these two parameters, then you have a ‘gap’ – where you are now to where you want to be.

Now, there’s not much point in chasing after wealth and propserity for example if you are not able to fully enjoy this abundance. It is true that those who are fit and healthy have a different experience of life than those of you who are unfit and have low energy.

Can you see where I am going with this? To fully enjoy whatever it is you want, then it is important to ensure you are capable of realizing the benefits of your success.

There’s more at my site on this with useful links to personal development.

For example – you want prosperity, you want to be wealthy and enjoy all that money can buy. How about starting to think like a wealthy person would, to have that ‘millionaire mindset’? Well as Ghandi says ‘You must be the change you wish to see in the world’.

I welcome your comments – remember my website is still a work in progress, there’s plenty to do. If there is any help you want on any area of your life or you are interested in one of my coaching programs feel free to send me an email. I’ll definitely reply!
