Wow - Be Careful What You Wish For :)

I went to a Michael Rowland Seminar in Adelaide back in January - not sure if you've heard of him. He runs a weekend course on self-development. He covers a number of areas which in some ways has similarities with NLP but lots more interesting stuff too - including Voice Dialogue. Well, he gave us all some techniques to help focus our minds to achieve what it is we really want (short term goals initially). But he told us to be careful what we wished for ... and now I understand what he meant!

I hadn't actually started focussing with one of the 'techniques', but had been running over in my mind the right way to word what I wanted. Basically I wanted to travel more and have more cash. Well, since then I've been to NSW for a week to do another Seminar, then I've been to Townsville N.Qld to help Michael to run a seminar there for a couple of weeks, and at the end of the month I'm off to Melbourne for another Seminar.

Then, at the World Internet Summit (NSW trip) I met Linda Forsythe. Lynda is a fantastic person who is bringing her USA Mentors Magazine to the Australian public. We were doing some business at the Summit and following that, she asked me if I'd help her set up Mentors Magazine 4 Australia! Well I was honoured to accept and I'm so excited about the whole thing.

However, I'd already made plans with another business partner, Debbie Williams to start running a series of Property Investing workshops in Adelaide through our Real Women Real Estate company - so now the pressure's on to get them both up and going. Thank goodness I thrive on challenges!

Oh, and then Michael Rowland asked if I was free to help out with some Overseas seminars! Well, I wished....and I received....so I'm not complaining - just bragging!
