The Placemat Prioritisation Process

posted on 20 August 2009

This is an exercise from the book Ask and It Is Given, by Esther and Jerry Hicks, and it’s about how you organise your day. So if you’re someone who easily gets overwhelmed, or finds it hard to complete tasks, or to get started, or can’t sort out your priorities, then give this way a try.

1) Make a long list of what has to be done

3) Looking at your long list of all that has (more...)

Introduction

Many people don’t realise how much they sabotage themselves by the way they think. And if you’re thinking right now ‘this doesn’t apply to me’, then that’s an example of what I’m talking about! Everyone can benefit from understanding the power their mind has over them, if they’re not aware of it.

What are you saying to yourself that is damaging your efforts at success?

Here are 5 mind mistakes that mean you’re getting in the way of your own success, perhaps without even noticing.

1. Your mindset is programmed for doing OK only

When you have decisions to make, it’s interesting how sometimes you can be incredibly clear, and have no problem with knowing exactly what to do, and yet at other times, it all seems fraught with difficulties. Why is that, and what can you do about it?

There are all sorts of reasons why it’s sometimes hard to make decisions – fear of ‘getting it wrong’, making a commitment, cutting off all other choices, you name it, there will be a reason. But decisions do have to be made often, and although there‘s no doubt that discovering why you are loath to make a decision can sometimes help you to move forward, I’ve found in my work that even knowing the reasons doesn’t necessarily (more...)

The 3 M’s of a successful therapy/coaching business

If you want clients flocking to you, it is crucial that you apply the 3M’s. These are the Market, the Message and theMedium. Let’s take a quick look at all of them.

Your Market: WHO

If you find yourself put off by this word ‘market’, think of it simply as who you are ideally wanting to have as your clients. For instance, if you offer massage, aromatherapy and reiki – who do you offer it to? Everyone? Or can you be more selective? It is much easier to reach the people you’re really interested in if you know exactly who they are.
