GARY VAYNERCHUK'S THREE RULES

Do you spend your days doing what you love? I mean something you really love?
Something you'd do for free, you're that passionate about it?
I can honestly answer yes to that question - at least to the NLP4MEDICS part of my week! Teaching NLP to other health professionals gives me such an amazing buzz. I know how much my own life has been turned around by it, I can't wait to get out there and share it with everyone because I know what a difference we can make.

Feeling like this, passionate and enthusiastic, I was delighted to be introduced to the work of Gary Vaynerchuk by Andreas at Two Fresh productions in Clerkenwell (producers of our upcoming blog videos - watch this space). Gary's family emigrated to the states from Belarus when he was three. He joined the family business, turning their liquor store into a huge success. Whilst doing so he built his own personal brand using social media and what he calls the hustle. His books are great - full of energy and drive, the words almost leap off the page at you. They're full of ideas and tips about how to turn what you love to do as a hobby into what you do for the rest of your life. He's made a huge number of videos and shares what he knows. Most of all he loves people.

He calls these his three rules:

• Love your family
• Work superhard
• Live your passion

Ask yourself this - if you're not doing what you love, why not?

When are you going to make that change? Why wait? Make a positive choice to live your passion now!

WHICH IS MY BEST SIDE?

Answers on a postcard please.....

After weeks of planning and the consumption of enough caffeine to sink a battleship, we are about to start filming our first blog videos. Monday's the day - so watch this space!

A BUSY DAY IN LONDON

Today Suzanne and I headed in to central London to work on some future projects.
We checked out the venue for our next one day course "Using NLP in Medicine" on 4th February.

Afterwards we headed to Clerkenwell, to the new headquarters of Two Fresh Productions where Andreas and Cey are helping us with our new video campaign. We had a really inspiring and productive meeting - thanks guys!

Later we added yet another coffee bar to the growing list of places we've been chucked out of because they are closing........

How time flies when you are having fun!

STUDY LEAVE

One of the challenges we face when arranging NLP trainings is the difficulty delegates often face in getting study leave. We've had a lot of feedback recently saying that people have loved a taster session that they have attended, they want to come to one of our longer courses......but they can't get the time off from their job to do so.

In response to this we've decided told hold our next four day Diploma course across two weekends. We are taking bookings now for:

5th and 6th November (Sat/Sun) plus 3rd and 4th December (Sat/Sun)  2011
Venue - All Saints Pastoral Centre, London Colney, Herts. ( M25 J 22)
Have a look at our website for further details or get in touch at info@nlp4medics.com

In NLP there's a saying, "if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got." Flexibility in any situation is the key. Starting from right now. So have a great day and we hope to see you at one of our trainings very soon.

NO FAILURE, ONLY FEEDBACK

Much of NLP is based on the so-called Presuppositions. These are a series of statements about how we look at our world. Although at first they may seem a little strange, you are likely to find it helpful to act as if they are true. Why not try this one out?

"There is no failure, only feedback."

How liberating would it be to know that whatever you did, whatever you tried, it wouldn't be wrong, you wouldn't ever have failed? Instead, you would just have learned something new that better informed your next attempt.

NLP is an attitude. It's about looking at your life differently, about assessing how things are, how you want them to be and then deciding what you need to do to move from one place to the other. Thomas Edison had that attitude, although he lived long before the NLP was formulated. It is said to have taken him over 1000 attempts to invent the electric light bulb. Instead of seeing each of the first 999+ as "failures" he saw them as a learning opportunity, a chance to put things right and to do better next time. He used them as feedback.

Why not try this in your own life? Why beat yourself up about failing at something when it is up to you to define the rules in the first place. Next time something doesn't work out first time, take it on the chin, look at what you need to do differently and simply do it again. Nothing has changed except your attitude - but believe me, everything will feel very different.

I can honestly say that this one small phrase made an enormous difference in my own life. It caused a radical mindshift and enabled me to see all sorts of possibilities, to see stepping stones where I used to see stumbling blocks. Try it on for size in your own life - you'll be amazed at the results.
