Your Future, My Future, And A Reminder From The Past...

It's been a week of mixed emotions...

On December 4th - it was little Skye's first birthday.

It was also the date of the memorial 'candlelight' service at the childrens' hospice Demelza House for the children who, like my son Connor, aren't with us anymore.

Ever tried celebrating a birthday knowing that later that day you were going to a service for your lost son?

Not easy, I can tell you.

Thrown in the odd heated argument because of the pressure - and you had a recipe for a very interesting Sunday last weekend!

Yesterday (December 8th) was my 36th birthday - which also happened to coincide with Katie's Charity Christmas Carol service - the beneficiary of which was.......Demelza House Children's Hospice!

As I don't believe in coincidence - it's nice to know that little Connor is still reminding us that he can change the outcome of our days - even when he's not here!

The lesson I learned from all of this?

It's easy to forget how 'simple' your current life really is compared to where you have been in the past.

And...it's easy to forget that, although you should never forget, you should always remember that NOW is what matters - both to you and the people close to you.

Letting things get to you is a serious waste of your time. Period.

If you really think about it - most of what you are getting stressed about is based either on something that has already happened (which you now have no control over) - or something that you believe MAY happen in the future (which you also don't have any control over now, either!)

It's like trying to run up a huge sand dune - the faster you try - the deeper you get - and the quicker you slide back down.

Is YOUR life even a little like that?

It's so easy to make life complicated when in fact - it CAN be 'easy' and simple.

And...the more I write about what has made me successful over the last few years - the more I believe that it shouldn't really be that 'difficult' for YOU, either!

You're bombarded literally every day with the latest 'solution' to a problem that you may not even realized that you had!

And...even though I hate to admit it, some of my fellow marketers online are doing YOU a disservice by knowingly selling you stuff that won't work for you - whether you apply it to the letter or not.

I'm a man on a mission in 2006.

I'm going to try to find ways to help YOU achieve more than you ever have done - without costing YOU a fortune in monetary terms - or ME a fortune in TIME cost.

Not easy to do from where I'm sitting at the moment, that's for sure, but don't forget that the first elementary step in this puzzle is here.

In order to make this idea work - I am going to need something from YOU in return.

You're going to have to share more about yourself, your life, your dreams, your failures, and your successes - so that I will be in a position to tailor whatever I come up with in the best way to help you.

So...watch out for a few (confidential) surveys over the coming months.

ONLY if you take part will you be eligible to part of this 'partnership'. I haven't got time for something-for-nothing people, nor people who can't be bothered to take even a small amount of action, or get a little out of their comfort zone.

At the moment - I only have ideas in my head - waiting to get out, but I'm sick of seeing YOU and people like you being promised the earth at a price, when just a leg up will do!

This isn't some pre-sell for a product that is waiting in the wings - at the moment, I'm not sure about what I'm going to do - but I KNOW that it WILL involve YOUR partnership in doing something to make 2006 better than 2005.

Watch this space!
