You’ve Got To Be In It To Win It!




You’ve Got to be in it to win it!

Wow! What an awesome weekend. I was at Heathrow at the NLP and Coaching conference and I just did something that has really scared me, and I mean really scared me.

Do you want to know what I did? I’m sure you do. I stepped out of my comfort zone.

Yeah I know we’ve all step out of our comfort zone from time to time, so what's the big deal? Why was this occasion so different?

Because it wasn’t just a baby step. I took a huge stride, I stepped miles out of my comfort zone, I’ve stepped (leaped) into another league, now that is really scary.

What made me do it? There are several reasons

1. I want more than I have currently – my business isn’t where I want it to be
2. I want to reach out to more and more female business owners
3. I have high expectations of myself
4. My families financial future
5. I believe in myself


But, do you know what? Taking this HUGE leap of faith is going to be okay. It’s going to be fine. In fact it is going to be an amazing. How can I be so certain? Because it always is.

When you set out to do something that initially makes you anxious or worried and then you ‘do it’ or accomplish it, it will never be as difficult the next time.

I used to believe in taking small baby steps and they have been invaluable along the way, but if you want to realise true success you too will have to get out of your own way and expand your comfort zone. You need to set some big hairy audacious goals.

And when you do you will probably never want to stop – believe me your business will appreciate you for it.


Take the plunge today.


Oh I almost forgot – here’s a picture taken last evening.
Along with 24 other inspirational entrepreneurs I am in the running to own this Jag this time next year. I stepped up and invested in the UK’s Top business mentoring programme.
