The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller
Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. -Gary Keller
This is a must read and what I love about this book is that its purpose is very aligned with its key message and that is to focus on just one thing.
If you are like me you struggle to juggle the complexity of everything in life, from managing business and work to spending more time with friends and family.
For those entrepreneurial types out there you will surely be frustrated by the multitude of things you have to do on any given day and most likely struggle to handle the amount of projects or even ideas that you have.
With all the distractions in life that we face daily to handling all our goals and desires the biggest challenge is often then focus. To have focus!
“Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.” Tony Robbins
Great and powerful beliefs have the ability to transform you life. You can create powerful beliefs and influence you beliefs however initial belief is only powerful enough to get your started to assist you in taking the first step.
Greater beliefs however are created through behaviours. By taking action and then committing consistently to those behaviours that you desire, you will transform your neural pathways more permanently.
Enjoy this thought! Peace, passion and purpose.

In this episode I discuss and disclose why turning off the TV may just be the best thing you could ever do. This doesn’t mean necessarily to live without it altogether, although that wouldn’t be the worse thing but simply to reduce the time you spend hugging it.
I discuss the ins and outs or why it is not only damaging to our use of time and productivity but also out thoughts. Balance is good, if you can handle balance, and the modern age comes with many great privileges. However we as humans tend to over indulge and consume in excess.
Take back control by removing the control from your life. I challenge you to take the 21 day challenge. Find out more in the show.

Losing My Virginity- the Autobiography by Richard Branson
“You only live once, and I just don’t want to waste a minute of my life.” Richard Branson
I have been meaning to read this biography for years. I remember closer to when I finished school looking up to Richard and all his success, and telling myself I must read his biography and learn what he does.
Life got in the way, I got side tracked and to be truthful getting through a book that long back than would have given me headaches just thinking about it.
Now I have read it and I tell you what, it feels good. Not because I achieved it but more so the information and insight I have experienced as Richard shares all, in his life’s journey.
“Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will open.”
The law of attraction states that we can attract and manifest with our thoughts all that we desire. It goes about saying the the Universe has a powerful and magnetic ability to attract similar energies. If you put into practice positive and powerful manifestation of all the you desire you can transform your reality.
A little hippie and out there and in part I share this belief. I do believe that we, using our thoughts can attract into our lives those things we desire. I also believe that we can attract into our lives things we don’t desire. The power of our thoughts and the Universe.

“It is only in active self-expression and pursuit of our own aims that we can become free.” Brendon Burchard
What is it that drive you to do what you do every day? Why do you do what you do? Most likely it is the drive towards more freedom.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, you age, colour of your skin or indeed the size of your bank account we all desire and are drive by the motivational force of FREEDOM.
The issue is that for many of us we have lost this connection in life and simply go about our life with less passion, purpose, meaning and significance.
It is up to us to once again take charge, declare, commit and claim back our rights for our personal freedom. That is my goal in this episode. I hope you enjoy, are inspired and go on and continue writing your own story and create your destiny.
