Hi,
|
 At the beginning of the year I had 2 fitness goals, the first one was to have the arms of Michelle, the personal trainer on "The Biggest Loser" and the second was to enter a figurebuilding competition. I'm on my way with the first goal but the second one (what was I thinking?)
Anyhow what is really interesting is that I attended the National Speakers Association of Australia conference a couple of weeks ago.
One of the keynote speakers was Rowena Szeszeran-McEvoy,one of the most successful business women in Australia. a hugely inspiring woman who is so successful that she is listed on the 'rich list's. Her business which is co-owned with her husband Kerry is The Australian Institute of Fitness.
Anyhow Rowena showed a video clip of her in a figurebuilding competition. Guess what? There were 3 other contestants registered and only Rowena showed up on the day so she won!
So what's the moral to the story? All you need to do is show up. That's the sensational woman up there to the right.
You wouldn't believe she is 40, would you?
Goes to show what looking after yourself can do. |

"7 Ways To Have a Productive Day"
By Lorraine Pirihi
Why is it in life that when something is working, you stop doing it?
Jack has a well-established electronics business which he started 10 years ago. Over this time the business has grown and he now has a team of 7 people.
When Jack initially contacted me, he was at a point he felt like walking away from his business. He was working in the business at least 10 hours a day and it was consuming his life. There was no time left for him to do anything else (or so he thought).
After clarifying what Jack really wanted to achieve both in the business and personally, the first task I had him undertake was to fill in the special time sheets I have devised. He did this for 2 weeks.
We discovered that Jack was wasting at least two hours each day because of his lack of planning. He'd arrive at his office and whatever happened, happened.
It took some time but eventually Jack got into the habit of writing his 'to do' list at the end of each day in his diary, and used Friday afternoons to plan for the week ahead. And guess what? He achieved much more than he'd ever done before.
It's such a simple thing to do, yet how often do you stop doing the basics on a daily basis and then find your business and your life spiralling out of control?
 Here's seven ways to have a productive day:
1. Write your 'to do' list at the end of each day.
2. Say 'no' to unscheduled interruptions.
3. If you get distracted easily, focus on one task for 10 minutes.
4. Keep your office free of clutter.
5. Constantly ask yourself 'is this the best use of my time?'
6. Do the worst thing first.
7. Schedule appointment times in your diary to get things done.
The Final Word
Action these tips consistently and you'll be amazed how much more you'll achieve each and every day.
Just do it!
