Louise's Story
Dear Fiona
I wanted to take this opportunity to say a personal thank you to you. When I bought 'Be Your Own Life Coach' I was working evenings in a factory - a dirty, mind-numbingly boring job that I hated.
I had initially taken the factory job as it fitted around a college course but at the time of reading your book I had been left college nearly 3 months and was still in a job I hated. Your book gave me the inspiration to make dramatic changes.
I am now Office Manager with a wedding publication. I have recently come back from Las Vegas where I wrote an article about getting married there. This article is now in print.
I am half way through 'The 10-Minute Life Coach' and yet again I feel charged and energised with a new feeling of enthusiasm. I have written down what I plan to do with the next stage of my life which includes starting my own business. I feel so excited. I am looking for! ward to the future and all the new experiences that will be coming my way.
Two years ago I was just a shadow of who I am today. I felt so insecure and unworthy that I would seek approval from those around me. I always thought about what I said before I opened my mouth - just in case those listening disapproved and decided they no longer liked me. I was not spontaneous, I would never give my true opinion - I just told people what they wanted to hear.
The change has been dramatic other people no longer influence how I live my life. It is so liberating to do something because you want to not because you think someone else thinks you should! It has not been easy, people close get used to you being a certain way and don't always appreciate the 'new' not so manipulatable you. Not that I have let that stop me!
Thank you Fiona
