Core Values - the what and how?

Our values are so closely linked to our identity that we are often not aware that they are the drivers of our thinking and actions.

Can you remember a time when you had an experience of everything flowing smoothly, happening at the right time and leaving you feeling fantastic? This is an experience of living a life that is in alignment with your values...

Have you ever made a decision that left you feeling dissatisfied, unhappy and unfulfilled? This is an experience of being misaligned with your values... How often does this happen?

Share you experiences of discovering your values and noticing any alignment or misalignment... What is the impact of this on your life?

The 10% Rule of Thumb for achieving goals

Do you have goals that just seem too big to achieve and every time you start working on them, you give up before making any real progress?

Try the 10% rule of thumb - instead of going for the massive goal, ask yourself what do I need to do to achieve 10% of it for now. For example, if you would like your business to double its turnover from $100 000 to $200 000, instead of going for the full extra $100 000, how about going for 10% of it to start with. What would be required of you to increase your turnover by  $10 000 for now?

Does this seem more manageable? more doable and achieveable? Give it a try...
