My ONE BIG TIP to Get Ready for 2012!

It’s hard to believe it’s that time of year again with Christmas and the New Year coming up fast. There’s a feeling of winding down in the air and is it just me, or is there also a feeling of anticipation for many of us, eager to get  a head-start on a new year and really make this year the one where we shift into gear in January and make the changes we know we must.
The days ahead are a great time to lay the groundwork …

THE POWER OF INTENTION

‘Conscious change is brought about by the two qualities inherent in consciousness: attention and intention’,writes Deepak Chopra in Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. ‘Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life…. Intention, on the other hand, triggers transformation of energy and information. Intention organizes its own fulfillment’.  When we declare an intention we gain the support of our subconscious mind.
It was with this theory in mind that I recently set  a challenge for my Breakthrough Mastermind Mentoring members.  The challenge was to generate …

ASK FIONA – How Would You Seize Control of Your Life?

This week’s question comes from Jenny in Cambridge.

Question:
I commute for 2 hours every day and am regularly late for work. I can work one day a week from home max (my boss wants us all in the office where he can see us).
I’m expected to travel abroad for meetings with prospects – companies and government agencies in Europe - and if I’m not out travelling and meeting, feel as if I am not pulling my weight.
Weeks whizz by, I have meetings and do my best to sell our research …

Hi, Fiona here.  Thanks so much for your enthusiastic response to my new no-cost, weekly service, Ask Fiona. Your comments and the many questions that have poured in are really wonderful to receive and I’m delighted to be of service.   
This week’s question comes from Sue in Manchester. Question: I’ve created the illusion that I am successful on the outside.  I am doing the job I thought I wanted to do.  What my friends don’t realise is that self-employment isn’t working out for me.  I’m living on my rapidly dwindling savings. The worst part is …

Next Level Breakthrough Session

Hi Fiona here,
A lot of people I talk to are struggling with the problem of how to ramp up to the next level in their life quickly and easily. They may want to start up a venture of their own, grow an existing business or make a major change in their life.

How to Succeed with Failure When All Else Fails.

‘Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.’ —Theodore Roosevelt
By the very nature of being human we cannot help but fail.  And when we do fail, if we’re not careful we can allow the wounds to penetrate so deeply into our psyche that we begin to think – I am …

As soon as we feel any threat, either of not getting what we want or of being put down in some way, we are ready to protect ourselves by being defensive.
 Imagine how much more productive our communications could be if we learned how to respond nondefensively and to avoid provoking defensiveness in others! Take this quiz to see how defensive you …
